Powerful ghostly ink

Powerful ghostly ink is a members item, with a high alchemy value of 240 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Powerful ghostly ink is to buy it: Thalmund's Wares in City of Um sells it for 400 coins.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 90 necromancy and gives 60 necromancy XP, using 20 × Powerful necroplasm, Vial of water and Ashes. Other sources include Lupe, Defile, Retrieved lost items (powerful) and Impressive Phosphosseous spoils, plus 3 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Powerful necroplasm (sold by Thalmund's Wares for 200 coins); Vial of water (sold by Aemad's Adventuring Supplies for 10 coins); Ashes (made with 30 Cooking). Making ten takes 200 × Powerful necroplasm, 10 × Vial of water and 10 × Ashes and gives 600 necromancy XP. Reaching level 90 Necromancy takes 5,346,332 XP in total; the Necromancy calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Necromancy guide has the Ironman training route. 7 recipes use Powerful ghostly ink, including Attraction II, Attraction III and Change III. Powerful ghostly ink 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 240 coins, which is 160 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
