Branding iron
Branding iron is a members item. No shop sells Branding iron and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 45 Archaeology and gives 1,283.3 Archaeology XP, using Branding iron (damaged), 14 × Third Age iron, 12 × Eye of Dagon and 20 × Hellfire metal.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Branding iron (damaged) (from Dis dungeon debris); Third Age iron (from Venator remains); Eye of Dagon (from Sacrificial altar). Making ten takes 10 × Branding iron (damaged), 140 × Third Age iron, 120 × Eye of Dagon and 200 × Hellfire metal and gives 12,833 Archaeology XP. Reaching level 45 Archaeology takes 61,512 XP in total; the Archaeology calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Archaeology guide has the Ironman training route. Branding iron is members-only. It is untradeable, so every account, Ironman or not, gets it the same way.
