Batwing hood

Batwing hood is a tier 30 free-to-play item worn in the head slot for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 180 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Batwing hood is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 300 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Dagannoth Prime (level 303), at 9/128 (about one every 14 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 33 Crafting and gives 24 Crafting XP, using 2 × Batwing and 0.2 × Thread. Reaching level 33 Crafting takes 18,247 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the head slot at tier 30 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Batwing hood 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 180 coins, which is 120 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
