Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cockroach drone (level 4, 1/682.67); the best rate is Crocodile akh (level 115), at 10/128, about 3.1 per kill. Other sources include Ice troll grunt and Ice troll female. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 50 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Rune javelin 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 374 coins, which is 250 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
