Mithril longsword

Mithril longsword is a tier 30 free-to-play main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 300 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Mithril longsword is to buy it: Varrock Sword Shop in Varrock sells it for 5,010 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Cyclops (God Wars Dungeon) (level 91), at 1/200 (about one every 200 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 240 Smithing XP, using 2 × Mithril bar. Other sources include Rusty sword and Former vampyre. Making ten takes 20 × Mithril bar and gives 2,400 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 longsword: Mithril longsword + 1. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 30 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Mithril longsword 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 300 coins, which is 4,710 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
