Iron scimitar
Iron scimitar 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 scimitar is to buy it: Zeke's Superior Scimitars in Al Kharid sells it for 2,510 coins, and 4 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Skeleton (level 15, 1/256); the best rate is 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 scimitar, Bandit (Wilderness) and Scimitar Stall. 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 scimitar: Iron scimitar + 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 scimitar 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.
