Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Malevolent helm (made with 91 Smithing). Reaching level 99 Smithing takes 13,034,431 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 Malevolent essence: Masterwork melee armour trim. Malevolent essence 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.
