Spider silk hood

Spider silk hood is a tier 20 free-to-play item worn in the head slot for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 600 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Spider silk hood is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 1,000 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 22 Crafting 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 22 Crafting takes 5,624 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Spider silk hood: Lesser ensouled cloth. It is worn in the head slot at tier 20 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Spider silk hood 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 600 coins, which is 400 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
