Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 75 Smithing and gives 375 Smithing XP, using Crystal armour seed and 375 × Harmonic dust. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Treasure chest (player-owned port), Motherlode Maw and Wythien. Where the materials come from: Crystal armour seed (dropped by Edimmu (level 122)); Harmonic dust (sold by Travelling Merchant's Shop for 2,000,000 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Crystal armour seed and 3,750 × Harmonic dust and gives 3,750 Smithing XP. Reaching level 75 Smithing takes 1,210,421 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 Crystal shield: Augmented crystal shield. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 70 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Crystal shield 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.
