Mining helmet

Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Cave goblin miner (level 7), at 20/128 (about one every 6 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 65 Firemaking. Other sources include Secure chest (Zanik). Reaching level 65 Firemaking takes 449,428 XP in total; the Firemaking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Firemaking guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the head slot; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Mining helmet 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 540 coins, which is 360 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
