Mithril gauntlets

Mithril gauntlets is a tier 30 free-to-play item worn in the hands slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 150 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Mithril gauntlets is to buy it: Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock sells it for 2,510 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 120 Smithing XP, using Mithril bar. Where the materials come from: Mithril bar (made with 30 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Mithril bar and gives 1,200 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 gauntlets: Mithril gauntlets + 1. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 30 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Mithril gauntlets 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 150 coins, which is 2,360 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
