The Subtle Blade
The Subtle Blade is a members item. No shop sells The Subtle Blade and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 111 Invention and 112 Archaeology and gives 40,000 Invention XP and 40,000 Archaeology XP, using Shard of the Blade, Prototype godsword, 500 × Historic components, 500 × Base parts, 10 × Timeworn components and 10 × Vintage components.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Shard of the Blade (from Shattered blade); Prototype godsword (made with 112 Archaeology). Making ten takes 10 × Shard of the Blade, 10 × Prototype godsword, 5,000 × Historic components, 5,000 × Base parts, 100 × Timeworn components and 100 × Vintage components and gives 400,000 Invention XP and 400,000 Archaeology XP. Reaching level 112 Archaeology takes 47,221,641 XP in total; the Archaeology calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Archaeology guide has the Ironman training route. The Subtle Blade is members-only. It is untradeable, so every account, Ironman or not, gets it the same way.
