Bronze kiteshield
Bronze kiteshield is a tier 5 free-to-play shield or off-hand item for melee, with a high alchemy value of 100 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Bronze kiteshield is to buy it: Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock sells it for 1,680 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“A large metal shield.”

Ironman verdict
At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Giant spider (level 2, 1/128); the best rate is Stove (level 4), at Always, about 1 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Smithing and gives 30 Smithing XP, using 2 × Bronze bar. Other sources include New Varrock guard captain and Zombie (New Varrock). Making ten takes 20 × Bronze bar and gives 300 Smithing XP. One recipe uses Bronze kiteshield: Oxidised kiteshield. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 5 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Bronze kiteshield 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 100 coins, which is 1,580 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
