Greater ghostly ink

Greater ghostly ink is a members item, with a high alchemy value of 120 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Greater ghostly ink is to buy it: Thalmund's Wares in City of Um sells it for 200 coins.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 60 necromancy and gives 44 necromancy XP, using 20 × Greater necroplasm, Vial of water and Ashes. Other sources include Lupe, Ghost impling, Ghost impling jar and Defile, plus 4 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Greater necroplasm (sold by Thalmund's Wares for 100 coins); Vial of water (sold by Aemad's Adventuring Supplies for 10 coins); Ashes (made with 30 Cooking). Making ten takes 200 × Greater necroplasm, 10 × Vial of water and 10 × Ashes and gives 440 necromancy XP. Reaching level 60 Necromancy takes 273,742 XP in total; the Necromancy calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Necromancy guide has the Ironman training route. 11 recipes use Greater ghostly ink, including Attraction II, Attraction III and Change II. Greater ghostly ink 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 120 coins, which is 80 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
