Iron chainbody
Iron chainbody is a tier 10 free-to-play item worn in the body slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 375 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Iron chainbody is to buy it: Corporal Boothe's Armoury in Burthorpe sells it for 210 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.
“A series of connected metal rings.”

Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Cave goblin guard (level 21), at 20/128 (about one every 6 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 200 Smithing XP, using 5 × Iron bar. Making ten takes 50 × Iron bar and gives 2,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 10 Smithing takes 1,154 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Iron chainbody: Iron chainbody + 1. It is worn in the body slot at tier 10 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Iron chainbody 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 375 coins, 165 more than the shop price, before the cost of the nature rune.
