You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Herblore and gives 1 Herblore XP, using Blue dragon scale. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Meilyr worker, Alchemist's chest, Greater demon pyromancer and Greater demon sage, plus 4 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Blue dragon scale (dropped by Ancient ranger (level 103)). Making ten takes 10 × Blue dragon scale and gives 10 Herblore XP. 2 recipes use Dragon scale dust, including Antifire (3) and Weapon poison (3). Dragon scale dust 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 31 coins.
