Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Goblin (level 2, 1/256); the best rate is Lumpnose (level 7), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 80 Smithing XP, using 2 × Iron bar. 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 square shield: Iron square shield + 1. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 10 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Iron square shield 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 18 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
