Death guard (tier 60)

Death guard (tier 60) is a tier 60 members main-hand weapon for Necromancy, with a high alchemy value of 5,400 coins. No shop sells Death guard (tier 60) and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 55 smithing and gives 200 smithing XP, using Death guard (tier 50), 3 × Ensouled bar and 25 × Bone rune.

“A necromancer armguard.”

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Death guard (tier 50) (made with 45 smithing); Ensouled bar (sold by Thalmund's Wares for 10,000 coins); Bone rune (sold by Soul Supplies for 20 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Death guard (tier 50), 30 × Ensouled bar and 250 × Bone rune and gives 2,000 smithing XP. Reaching level 55 Smithing takes 166,636 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 60): Death guard (tier 70). It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 60 as necromancy gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Death guard (tier 60) 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 5,400 coins.
