Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 15 Crafting and 10 Runecrafting and gives 30 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and 2 × Imphide. Where the materials come from: Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins); Imphide (sold by Zaff's Superior Spellcasting (New Varrock) for 50 zemomark). Reaching level 15 Crafting takes 2,411 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 off-hand weapon slot at tier 10 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Off-hand weapons list. Imphide book 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 150 coins, which is 100 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
