Rope
Rope is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 10 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Rope is to buy it: Ned sells it for 15 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Mugger (level 15, 40/128); the best rate is Outlaw (level 32), at 46/128, about one every 3 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 30 Crafting and gives 25 Crafting XP, using Hair. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Rogue kit, Dig Site workman, Rope rack and Barrel (Viyeldi caves), plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Hair and gives 250 Crafting XP. Reaching level 30 Crafting takes 13,363 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. 9 recipes use Rope, including Dazing log trap, Fishing net (furniture) and Fremennik round shield. Rope is available on free-to-play worlds too. 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 10 coins, which is 5 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
