Unstrung symbol

Unstrung symbol is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 120 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Unstrung symbol is to buy it: Ardougne Silver Stall in East Ardougne sells it for 200 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

“It needs a string so I can wear it.”

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Skeleton (Tarn's Lair) (level 45), at 2/128 (about one every 64 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 16 Crafting and gives 50 Crafting XP, using Silver bar. Making ten takes 10 × Silver bar and gives 500 Crafting XP. Reaching level 16 Crafting takes 2,746 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Unstrung symbol: Unblessed symbol. Unstrung symbol 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 120 coins, which is 80 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
