Black warhammer
Black warhammer is a tier 25 free-to-play main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 764 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Black warhammer is to buy it: Vigr's Warhammers in Keldagrim sells it for 1,274 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Warrior (Rellekka) (level 39, 1/256); the best rate is Giant Rock Crab (level 75), at 5/256, about one every 51 kills. Other sources include Steel key red, Steel key brown, Steel key crimson and Steel key black, plus 2 more listed below. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 25 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Black warhammer 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 764 coins, which is 510 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
