Carapace helm
Carapace helm is a tier 30 free-to-play item worn in the head slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 180 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Carapace helm is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 300 coins.

Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 33 Crafting and gives 24 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and 2 × Carapace. Where the materials come from: Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins); Carapace (dropped by Cockroach drone (level 4)). Reaching level 33 Crafting takes 18,247 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the head slot at tier 30 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Carapace helm 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 180 coins, which is 120 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
