Steel platebody

Ironman verdict

2 monsters drop it. The easiest is Brokeface (level 7, 1/8); the best rate is Animated Steel Armour (level 39), at Always, about 1 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 375 Smithing XP, using 5 × Steel bar. Other sources include Mystery box (random events) and Damaged armour. Making ten takes 50 × Steel bar and gives 3,750 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. 3 recipes use Steel platebody, including Gnome platebody, Steel ingot and Steel platebody + 1. It is worn in the body slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Steel platebody 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 500 coins, which is 7,840 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
