Hand of the Ancients
Hand of the Ancients is a members item. No shop sells Hand of the Ancients and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 62 Archaeology and gives 2,800 Archaeology XP, using Hand of the Ancients (damaged), 12 × Blood of Orcus, 18 × White oak, 14 × Ancient vis and 18 × Goldrune.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Hand of the Ancients (damaged) (from Ancient gravel); Blood of Orcus (from Carcerem debris); White oak (from Lodge art storage). Making ten takes 10 × Hand of the Ancients (damaged), 120 × Blood of Orcus, 180 × White oak, 140 × Ancient vis and 180 × Goldrune and gives 28,000 Archaeology XP. Reaching level 62 Archaeology takes 333,804 XP in total; the Archaeology calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Archaeology guide has the Ironman training route. Hand of the Ancients is members-only. It is untradeable, so every account, Ironman or not, gets it the same way.
