Mithril square shield + 1

Mithril square shield + 1 is a tier 31 free-to-play shield or off-hand item for melee, with a high alchemy value of 600 coins. No shop sells Mithril square shield + 1 and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 240 Smithing XP, using 2 × Mithril bar and Mithril square shield.

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Mithril bar (made with 30 Smithing); Mithril square shield (sold by Horvik's Armour Shop for 5,010 coins). Making ten takes 20 × Mithril bar and 10 × Mithril square shield 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 square shield + 1: Mithril square shield + 2. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 31 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Mithril square shield + 1 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 600 coins.
