Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Otherworldly being (level 55), at 63/8,192 (about one every 130 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Cooking and gives 60 Cooking XP, using Raw mackerel. Making ten takes 10 × Raw mackerel and gives 600 Cooking XP. Reaching level 10 Cooking takes 1,154 XP in total; the Cooking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Cooking guide has the Ironman training route. Mackerel is members-only. 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 7 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
