Iron longsword

Iron longsword is a tier 10 free-to-play main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 150 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Iron longsword is to buy it: Varrock Sword Shop in Varrock sells it for 2,510 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Ork (level 95), at 5/256 (about one every 51 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 80 Smithing XP, using 2 × Iron bar. Other sources include Rusty sword. Making ten takes 20 × Iron bar and gives 800 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 longsword: Iron longsword + 1. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 10 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Iron longsword 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 2,360 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
