Onion

Onion is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 7 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Onion is to buy it: Miscellanian Food Shop in Miscellania sells it for 12 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

“A strong smelling onion.”

Ironman verdict

3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Gelatinous abomination (level 2, 30/1,100); the best rate is Zombie (New Varrock), at 5/128, about one every 26 kills. Other sources include Mystery box (random events), Teak larder (historical), Veg stall and Troll brute, plus 4 more listed below. 10 recipes use Onion, including Chopped onion, Half made veg batta and Half made veg bowl. Onion 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 7 coins, which is 5 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
