Iron gauntlets

Ironman verdict

2 monsters drop it. The easiest is Minotaur (level 12, 1/128); the best rate is Desert lizard (level 30), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 40 Smithing XP, using Iron bar. Making ten takes 10 × Iron bar and gives 400 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 gauntlets: Iron gauntlets + 1. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 10 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Iron gauntlets 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 75 coins, which is 1,185 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
