Necronium pickaxe
Necronium pickaxe is a tier 1 members main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 4,000 coins. No shop sells Necronium pickaxe and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 70 Smithing and gives 1,000 Smithing XP, using 2 × Necronium bar.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Necronium bar (made with 70 Smithing). Making ten takes 20 × Necronium bar and gives 10,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 70 Smithing takes 737,627 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 Necronium pickaxe: Necronium pickaxe + 1. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 1 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Necronium pickaxe 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 4,000 coins.
