Ironman verdict
5 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Goblin (level 2), at 3/128 (about one every 43 kills). 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 square shield: Oxidised square shield. 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 square shield 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, 52 more than the shop price, before the cost of the nature rune.
