Death guard (tier 30)
Death guard (tier 30) is a tier 30 members main-hand weapon for Necromancy, with a high alchemy value of 390 coins. No shop sells Death guard (tier 30) and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 25 smithing and gives 75 smithing XP, using Death guard (tier 20) and Lesser ensouled bar.
“A necromancer armguard.”

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Death guard (tier 20) (made with 15 smithing); Lesser ensouled bar (sold by Buried Bargains for 1 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Death guard (tier 20) and 10 × Lesser ensouled bar and gives 750 smithing XP. Reaching level 25 Smithing takes 7,842 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 Death guard (tier 30): Death guard (tier 40). It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 30 as necromancy gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Death guard (tier 30) 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 390 coins.
