Steel 2h sword

Steel 2h sword is a tier 20 free-to-play two-handed weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 400 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Steel 2h sword is to buy it: Gaius's Two-Handed Shop in Burthorpe sells it for 6,680 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Cyclops (God Wars Dungeon) (level 91), at 2/100 (about one every 50 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 300 Smithing XP, using 4 × Steel bar. Making ten takes 40 × Steel bar and gives 3,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 20 Smithing takes 4,470 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Steel 2h sword: Steel 2h sword + 1. It is worn in the two-handed weapon slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Two-handed weapons list. Steel 2h sword 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 400 coins, which is 6,280 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
