Steel javelin
Steel javelin is a tier 20 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 22 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Steel javelin is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 37 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Jogre (level 57, 2/129); the best rate is Wandering warrior (level 60), at 3/138, about one every 5 kills. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Steel javelin 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 22 coins, which is 15 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
