Leather gloves

Leather gloves is a tier 1 free-to-play item worn in the hands slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 3 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Leather gloves is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 6 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

At least 6 monsters drop it. The easiest is Corpse spider (level 4, 5/162); the best rate is Crawling hand (level 6), at 21/128, about one every 6 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Crafting and gives 13.8 Crafting XP, using Leather. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Dig Site workman, New Varrock guard captain, Swarm and Fishing spot (big fishing net, harpoon), plus 2 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Leather and gives 138 Crafting XP. One recipe uses Leather gloves: Studded leather gloves. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 1 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Leather gloves 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 3 coins, which is 3 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
