Ironman verdict
5 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Giant bat (level 14), at Always (about 1 per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Prayer and 1 Firemaking and gives 13.2 Prayer XP and 10.6 Firemaking XP. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Holy scarab scroll (Bone Conjure) and Operating table (Senntisten Asylum). 5 recipes use Bat bones, including Banana, Bat bonemeal and Experimental potion #8. Bat bones is available on free-to-play worlds too. 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 24 coins, which is 16 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
