Hard leather cowl

Hard leather cowl is a tier 10 free-to-play item worn in the head slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 60 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Hard leather cowl is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 100 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 25 Crafting and gives 21 Crafting XP, using 0.25 × Thread and Hard leather. Where the materials come from: Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins); Hard leather (sold by New Varrock Leather Emporium for 1 zemomark). Reaching level 25 Crafting takes 7,842 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the head slot at tier 10 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Hard leather cowl 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 60 coins, which is 40 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
