Ironman verdict
Other sources include Lucky Charm (Temple of Aminishi), Lucky charm (Shadow Reef), Elite chest and Ultra elite chest. 48 recipes use Ancient scale, including Augmented elite Dracolich chaps, Augmented elite Dracolich hauberk and Augmented elite sirenic chaps. Ancient scale is members-only. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 60,000 coins.
