Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Animated Mithril Armour (level 53), at Always (about 1 per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 600 Smithing XP, using 5 × Mithril bar. Other sources include Damaged armour. Making ten takes 50 × Mithril bar and gives 6,000 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. 2 recipes use Mithril platebody, including Mithril armour stand and Mithril platebody + 1. It is worn in the body slot at tier 30 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Mithril platebody 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 750 coins, which is 11,760 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
