Ironman verdict

3 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Giant spider (level 2), at Always (about 1 per kill). Other sources include New Varrock guard captain, Spirit spider (player-owned farm), Night spider (player-owned farm) and Ice spider (player-owned farm), plus 4 more listed below. 9 recipes use Spider silk, including Masterwork blue cloth, Spider orb and Spider silk boots. Spider silk 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 30 coins.
