Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 80 Smithing XP, using 2 × Iron bar. Where the materials come from: Iron bar (sold by Drogo's Mining Emporium for 59 coins). 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. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 1 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Iron mattock 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 2,350 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
