Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cockroach drone (level 4, 1/87,381.33); the best rate is Vindicta & Gorvek, at 8/64, about 25 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Prayer and 1 Firemaking and gives 180 Prayer XP and 144 Firemaking XP. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Ice troll grunt, Ice troll female, Dragon impling and Dragon impling jar, plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Dragon bones: Dragon bonemeal. Dragon bones is available on free-to-play worlds too. 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 1 coins, which is the same as the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
