Elder rune round shield + 5

Elder rune round shield + 5 is a tier 85 members shield or off-hand item for melee, with a high alchemy value of 640,000 coins. No shop sells Elder rune round shield + 5 and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 90 Smithing and gives 32,000 Smithing XP, using 32 × Elder rune bar and Elder rune round shield + 4.

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Elder rune bar (made with 90 Smithing); Elder rune round shield + 4 (made with 90 Smithing). Making ten takes 320 × Elder rune bar and 10 × Elder rune round shield + 4 and gives 320,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 90 Smithing takes 5,346,332 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 Elder rune round shield + 5: Elder rune burial round shield. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 85 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Elder rune round shield + 5 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 640,000 coins.
