Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 87 Magic and gives 97 Magic XP, using 10 × Onyx bolts, 20 × Fire rune, Death rune and Cosmic rune. Other sources include The Barrows: Rise of the Six, Memory of Nomad and Ravenous strigoi. Where the materials come from: Onyx bolts (made with 73 Fletching); Fire rune (sold by Aubury's Rune Shop for 17 coins); Death rune (sold by Aubury's Rune Shop for 310 coins). Making ten takes 100 × Onyx bolts, 200 × Fire rune, 10 × Death rune and 10 × Cosmic rune and gives 970 Magic XP. Reaching level 87 Magic takes 3,972,294 XP in total; the Magic calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Magic guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 80 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Onyx bolts (e) 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 9,000 coins.
