Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 150 Smithing XP, using 2 × Steel bar. Other sources include Bandit (Wilderness). Where the materials come from: Steel bar (made with 20 Smithing). 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 square shield: Steel square shield + 1. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Steel square shield 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.
