Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 50 Smithing and gives 480 Smithing XP, using 2 × Rune bar. Other sources include Casket (CS Week), Security casket (CS Week), Sandy Casket and Sandy Casket (red). Where the materials come from: Rune bar (made with 50 Smithing). Making ten takes 20 × Rune bar and gives 4,800 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. One recipe uses Rune longsword: Rune longsword + 1. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 50 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Rune longsword 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 1,000 coins, which is 15,680 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
