Death guard (tier 40)
Death guard (tier 40) is a tier 40 members main-hand weapon for Necromancy, with a high alchemy value of 600 coins. No shop sells Death guard (tier 40) and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 35 smithing and gives 100 smithing XP, using Death guard (tier 30) and 2 × Lesser ensouled bar.
“A necromancer armguard.”

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Death guard (tier 30) (made with 25 smithing); Lesser ensouled bar (sold by Buried Bargains for 1 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Death guard (tier 30) and 20 × Lesser ensouled bar and gives 1,000 smithing XP. Reaching level 35 Smithing takes 22,406 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 40): Death guard (tier 50). It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 40 as necromancy gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Death guard (tier 40) 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 600 coins.
