Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Gelatinous abomination (level 2, 800/7,400); the best rate is Aberrant spectre (level 72), at 1/8.5, about one every 3 kills. Other sources include Goutweed, Macaw, Macaw scroll (Herbcall) and Reward token, plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Grimy guam: Clean guam. Grimy guam 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 18 coins.
