Death guard (tier 70)

Death guard (tier 70) is a tier 70 members main-hand weapon for Necromancy, with a high alchemy value of 7,200 coins. No shop sells Death guard (tier 70) and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 65 smithing and gives 250 smithing XP, using Death guard (tier 60), 4 × Ensouled bar and 50 × Bone rune.

“A necromancer armguard.”
