Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Black Knight (level 30, 2/128); the best rate is Tormented wraith (level 42), at 23/512, about one every 22 kills. Other sources include Animated Black Armour, Broken armour, Black key red and Black key brown, plus 4 more listed below. It is worn in the leg slot at tier 25 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Legs list. Black platelegs 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 1,152 coins, which is 768 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
