Ironman verdict
At least 6 monsters drop it. The easiest is Ice troll runt (level 53, 2/128); the best rate is Mountain troll (level 75), at 2/128, about one every 21 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 16 Fishing and gives 20 Fishing XP. Other sources include Ibis scroll (Fish Rain), Swarm and Fishing spot (big fishing net, harpoon). Reaching level 16 Fishing takes 2,746 XP in total; the Fishing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fishing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Raw mackerel: Mackerel. Raw mackerel 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 15 coins, which is 11 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
