Spider orb

Spider orb is a tier 20 free-to-play off-hand weapon for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 300 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Spider orb is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 500 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 25 Crafting and 20 Runecrafting and gives 25 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and 2 × Spider silk. Where the materials come from: Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins); Spider silk (sold by Zaff's Superior Spellcasting (New Varrock) for 50 zemomark). Reaching level 25 Crafting takes 7,842 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the off-hand weapon slot at tier 20 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Off-hand weapons list. Spider orb 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 300 coins, which is 200 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
