Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Skeletal hand (level 63, 58/2,316); the best rate is Dark wizard (The Zamorakian Undercity) (level 114), at 1/15.2, about 1.3 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 19 Runecrafting and gives 9.3 Runecrafting XP, using Pure essence, Fire rune and Fire talisman. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Essence impling, Essence impling jar, Greater demon pyromancer and Greater demon sage, plus 4 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Pure essence, 10 × Fire rune and 10 × Fire talisman and gives 93 Runecrafting XP. Reaching level 19 Runecrafting takes 3,973 XP in total; the Runecrafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Runecrafting guide has the Ironman training route. Steam 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 4 coins.
