Armour spikes
Armour spikes is a members item worn in the ammunition slot. No shop sells Armour spikes and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 90 Smithing and gives 500 Smithing XP, using Elder rune bar.
“When carried in the backpack or ammo slot and wearing melee equipment, these spikes deal damage to enemies who attack you from adjacent tiles.”

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Elder rune bar (made with 90 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Elder rune bar and gives 5,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 90 Smithing takes 5,346,332 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. 2 recipes use Armour spikes, including Abyssal armour spikes and Armour spikes (alloy). It is worn in the ammunition slot as hybrid gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Armour spikes 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.
