Mithril throwing axe

Mithril throwing axe is a tier 30 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 9 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Mithril throwing axe is to buy it: Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge sells it for 160 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Gorak (level 74), at 1.5/256 (about one every 171 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Smithing and gives 120 Smithing XP, using Mithril bar. 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. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 30 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Mithril throwing axe 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 9 coins, which is 151 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
