Rune square shield + 3
Rune square shield + 3 is a tier 53 free-to-play shield or off-hand item for melee, with a high alchemy value of 8,000 coins. No shop sells Rune square shield + 3 and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 50 Smithing and gives 1,920 Smithing XP, using 8 × Rune bar and Rune square shield + 2.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Rune bar (made with 50 Smithing); Rune square shield + 2 (made with 50 Smithing). Making ten takes 80 × Rune bar and 10 × Rune square shield + 2 and gives 19,200 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 square shield + 3: Rune burial square shield. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 53 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Rune square shield + 3 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 8,000 coins.
