Steel bar
Steel bar is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 50 coins. No shop sells Steel bar and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 3 Smithing XP, using Iron ore and Coal. There is one other recipe below.

Other sources include Ava's accumulator, Box of summoning ingredients, Spirit impling and Spirit impling jar, plus 2 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Iron ore (sold by Drogo's Mining Emporium for 25 coins); Coal (sold by Drogo's Mining Emporium for 42 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Iron ore and 10 × Coal and gives 30 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. 113 recipes use Steel bar, including Apex hide body, Banquet and Bullseye lantern (frame). Steel bar 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 50 coins.
