Studded body

Studded body is a tier 20 free-to-play item worn in the body slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 510 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Studded body is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 850 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

“Those studs should provide a bit more protection.”

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 41 Crafting and gives 40 Crafting XP, using Leather body and Steel studs. Where the materials come from: Leather body (sold by Lowe's Archery Emporium for 21 coins); Steel studs (made with 20 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Leather body and 10 × Steel studs and gives 400 Crafting XP. Reaching level 41 Crafting takes 41,171 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the body slot at tier 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Studded body 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 510 coins, which is 340 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
