Ironman verdict

At least 8 monsters drop it. The easiest is Giant Sea Snake (level 63, 4/128); the best rate is Flying jellyfish (level 93), at 6/128, about one every 9 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 46 Fishing and gives 100 Fishing XP. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Ibis scroll (Fish Rain), Thalassus, Bag of lost items and Barrel (Viyeldi caves), plus 2 more listed below. Reaching level 46 Fishing takes 67,983 XP in total; the Fishing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fishing guide has the Ironman training route. 4 recipes use Raw bass, including Bass, Enchanted lyre and Fishy mush. Raw bass 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 168 coins, which is 112 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
