Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 44 Cooking and gives 380 Cooking XP, using 2 × Bucket of water, 2 × Barley malt, 4 × Bittercap mushroom, Ale yeast and 8 × Beer glass. Where the materials come from: Bucket of water (sold by Pollnivneach General Store for 6 coins); Barley malt (made with 1 Cooking); Bittercap mushroom (sold by Fern's Finds for 38 coins). Making ten takes 20 × Bucket of water, 20 × Barley malt, 40 × Bittercap mushroom, 10 × Ale yeast and 80 × Beer glass and gives 3,800 Cooking XP. Reaching level 44 Cooking takes 55,649 XP in total; the Cooking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Cooking guide has the Ironman training route. Moonlight mead is members-only. 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 3 coins, which is 2 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
