Limpwurt root
Limpwurt root is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 4 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Limpwurt root is to buy it: Jatix's Herblore Shop in Taverley sells it for 7 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cockroach drone (level 4, 3/128); the best rate is Giant mole (level 230), at 12/128, about 1.9 per kill. Other sources include Vampyre Juvinate, Columbarium key, Vyrelord and Vyrelady, plus 4 more listed below. 3 recipes use Limpwurt root, including Strength potion (3), Strength potion (4) and Super strength (3). Limpwurt root 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 4 coins, which is 3 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
