Primal pickaxe + 3
Primal pickaxe + 3 is a tier 1 members main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 320,000 coins. No shop sells Primal pickaxe + 3 and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 100 Smithing and gives 11,200 Smithing XP, using 8 × Primal bar and Primal pickaxe + 2.
“A primal pickaxe which has been upgraded 3 times.”

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Primal bar (made with 100 Smithing); Primal pickaxe + 2 (made with 100 Smithing). Making ten takes 80 × Primal bar and 10 × Primal pickaxe + 2 and gives 112,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 100 Smithing takes 14,391,160 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 Primal pickaxe + 3: Primal pickaxe + 4. 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. Primal pickaxe + 3 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 320,000 coins.
