Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 35 Crafting and gives 36 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and 3 × 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 35 Crafting takes 22,406 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 body slot at tier 30 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Carapace torso 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 540 coins, which is 360 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
