Steel platelegs

Ironman verdict

2 monsters drop it. The easiest is Rock slug (level 28, 8/128); 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 225 Smithing XP, using 3 × Steel bar. Other sources include Broken armour. Making ten takes 30 × Steel bar and gives 2,250 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 platelegs: Steel platelegs + 1. It is worn in the leg slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Legs list. Steel platelegs 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 300 coins, which is 4,710 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
