Balarak's sash brush

Balarak's sash brush is a members shield or off-hand item, with a high alchemy value of 300,000 coins. No shop sells Balarak's sash brush and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 103 Archaeology and gives 36,666.6 Archaeology XP, using Balarak's sash brush (damaged), 60 × Dragon metal, 120 × Carbon black, 120 × Felt, 10 × Draconic energy and 200 × Softened fungal shafts.

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Balarak's sash brush (damaged) (made with 103 Archaeology); Dragon metal (from Volcanic ash); Carbon black (from Volcanic ash). Making ten takes 10 × Balarak's sash brush (damaged), 600 × Dragon metal, 1,200 × Carbon black, 1,200 × Felt, 100 × Draconic energy and 2,000 × Softened fungal shafts and gives 366,666 Archaeology XP. Reaching level 103 Archaeology takes 19,368,992 XP in total; the Archaeology calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Archaeology guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Balarak's sash brush 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 300,000 coins.
