Mystic shield

Mystic shield is a tier 50 free-to-play shield or off-hand item for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 9,000 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Mystic shield is to buy it: Magic Guild Store - Mystic Robes in Wizards' Guild sells it for 15,000 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 58 Crafting and gives 42 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and 3 × Mystic cloth. Where the materials come from: Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins); Mystic cloth (dropped by Ankou (level 54)). Reaching level 58 Crafting takes 224,466 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 50 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Mystic shield 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 9,000 coins, which is 6,000 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
