Ironman verdict
7 recipes use Carapace, including Carapace boots, Carapace gloves and Carapace helm. Carapace 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 30 coins.
