Ironman verdict
2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Tormented wraith (level 42), at 35/512 (about one every 15 kills). Other sources include Black key red, Black key brown, Black key crimson and Black key black, plus 2 more listed below. It is worn in the body slot at tier 23 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Black chainbody 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 864 coins, which is 576 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
