Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 35 Smithing and gives 25.6 Smithing XP, using Steel bar. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Squeal of Fortune/Rewards, Arch-Glacor, Zemouregal & Vorkath loot (story) and Zemouregal & Vorkath loot (normal), plus 4 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Steel bar (made with 20 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Steel bar and gives 256 Smithing XP. Reaching level 35 Smithing takes 22,406 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Cannonball: Meteorite cannonball. Cannonball is members-only. 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.
