Ironman verdict

At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cockroach drone (level 4, 1/3,495,253.33); the best rate is Kerapac, the bound (level 3,000), at 9/100, about 47 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 90 Runecrafting and gives 220 Runecrafting XP, using 5 × Pure essence. Other sources include Gnome Restaurant, Ice troll grunt, Ice troll female and Essence impling, plus 4 more listed below. Making ten takes 50 × Pure essence and gives 2,200 Runecrafting XP. Reaching level 90 Runecrafting takes 5,346,332 XP in total; the Runecrafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Runecrafting guide has the Ironman training route. 10 recipes use Soul rune, including Arcane potion cauldron, Carrallangar teleport (item) and Dragon bolts (e). Soul rune is members-only. 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 82 coins, which is 328 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
