Iron nails

Iron nails is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 1 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Iron nails is to buy it: Construction Supplies (Sawmill) sells it for 33 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

“Keeps things in place fairly permanently.”

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 40 Smithing XP, using Iron bar. Other sources include Ogre Coffin and Construction supplies (There's No Place Like Home...). Where the materials come from: Iron bar (sold by Drogo's Mining Emporium for 59 coins). 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. 4 recipes use Iron nails, including Broodoo shield (blue), Broodoo shield (green) and Broodoo shield (orange). Iron nails 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 1 coins, which is 32 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
