Ironman verdict
At least 6 monsters drop it. The easiest is Warrior (Rellekka) (level 39, 1/128); the best rate is Black Guard (level 42), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 68 Magic and gives 65 Magic XP, using 28 × Bucket, Fire rune, 3 × Water rune and Astral rune. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Pirate impling, Pirate impling jar and Buckets (Carnillean Rising). Making ten takes 280 × Bucket, 10 × Fire rune, 30 × Water rune and 10 × Astral rune and gives 650 Magic XP. Reaching level 68 Magic takes 605,032 XP in total; the Magic calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Magic guide has the Ironman training route. 58 recipes use Bucket of water, including Asgarnian ale, Asgarnian ale (4) and Asgarnian ale (m). Bucket of water 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 3 coins, which is 3 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
