Rune bar

Rune bar is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 250 coins. No shop sells Rune bar and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 50 Smithing and gives 10 Smithing XP, using Runite ore and Luminite. There is one other recipe below.

Ironman verdict

Other sources include Karl, Box of summoning ingredients, Spirit impling and Spirit impling jar. Where the materials come from: Runite ore (made with 55 Divination); Luminite (made with 43 Divination). Making ten takes 10 × Runite ore and 10 × Luminite and gives 100 Smithing XP. Reaching level 50 Smithing takes 101,333 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. 133 recipes use Rune bar, including Concentrated alloy bar, Elder rune bar and Junk refiner. Rune bar 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 250 coins.
