Batwing shield

Batwing shield is a tier 30 free-to-play shield or off-hand item for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 360 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Batwing shield is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 600 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 38 Crafting and gives 36 Crafting XP, using 2 × Batwing and 0.2 × Thread. Reaching level 38 Crafting takes 30,408 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 shields and off-hand slot at tier 30 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Batwing shield 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 360 coins, which is 240 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
