Ironman verdict
Other sources include Treasure chest (player-owned port), Crystal impling, Motherlode Maw and Crystal impling jar, plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Elder seed: Elder seedling. Elder seed 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 600 coins.
