Tagga's corehammer

Tagga's corehammer is a members shield or off-hand item, with a high alchemy value of 300,000 coins. No shop sells Tagga's corehammer and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 80 Smithing and gives 10,000 Smithing XP, using Croesus sporehammer, 4 × Bane bar, 2500 × Croesus flakes, 5 × Calcified fungus and 5 × Fungal algae.

“An ancient hammer. It shatters rock to aid in mining.”

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Croesus sporehammer (from Croesus); Bane bar (made with 80 Smithing); Croesus flakes (from Croesus). Making ten takes 10 × Croesus sporehammer, 40 × Bane bar, 25,000 × Croesus flakes, 50 × Calcified fungus and 50 × Fungal algae and gives 100,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 80 Smithing takes 1,986,068 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Tagga's corehammer 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 300,000 coins.
