Steel longsword

Ironman verdict

4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Hobgoblin (level 15, 1/256); the best rate is Cyclops (God Wars Dungeon) (level 91), at 2/200, about one every 100 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 150 Smithing XP, using 2 × Steel bar. Other sources include Rusty sword. Making ten takes 20 × Steel bar and gives 1,500 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 longsword: Steel longsword + 1. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Steel longsword 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 200 coins, which is 3,140 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
