Iron platebody
Iron platebody 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 platebody is to buy it: Corporal Boothe's Armoury in Burthorpe sells it for 560 coins, and 4 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Animated Iron Armour (level 25), at Always (about 1 per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 200 Smithing XP, using 5 × Iron bar. Other sources include Damaged armour. 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. 2 recipes use Iron platebody, including Iron ingot and Iron platebody + 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 platebody 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, which is 185 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
