Malevolent greaves
Malevolent greaves is a tier 90 members item worn in the legs slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 300,000 coins. No shop sells Malevolent greaves and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 92 Smithing and gives 1,000 Smithing XP, using 28 × Malevolent energy and 2 × Reinforcing plate.
“Armour infused with malevolent energy.”

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Malevolent energy (made without a skill requirement); Reinforcing plate (sold by Bandit Duty Free for 450,000 coins). Making ten takes 280 × Malevolent energy and 20 × Reinforcing plate and gives 10,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 92 Smithing takes 6,517,253 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. 9 recipes use Malevolent greaves, including Augmented malevolent greaves, Malevolent essence and Malevolent greaves (Aurora). It is worn in the leg slot at tier 90 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Legs list. Malevolent greaves 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 300,000 coins.
