Leather vambraces

Ironman verdict

2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Skeleton (Tarn's Lair) (level 72), at 2/128 (about one every 64 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 11 Crafting and gives 22 Crafting XP, using Leather. Other sources include New Varrock guard captain and Zombie (New Varrock). Making ten takes 10 × Leather and gives 220 Crafting XP. Reaching level 11 Crafting takes 1,358 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Leather vambraces: Spiky vambraces. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 1 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Leather vambraces 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 10 coins, which is 8 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
