Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 33 Fishing and gives 1 Fishing XP. Other sources include Fishing spot (frog spawn, eels). Reaching level 33 Fishing takes 18,247 XP in total; the Fishing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fishing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Swamp weed: Soda ash. Swamp weed is members-only. 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 1 coins.
