Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Waterfiend (Ghorrock) (level 102), at 8/128 (about 1.6 per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 70.5 Smithing XP, using Mithril bar. Other sources include Robust Chest. Making ten takes 10 × Mithril bar and gives 705 Smithing XP. Reaching level 30 Smithing takes 13,363 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 Mithril arrowheads: Mithril arrow. Mithril arrowheads 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 3 coins, which is 47 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
