Vial of water

Vial of water

Vial of water is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 6 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Vial of water is to buy it: Aemad's Adventuring Supplies in East Ardougne sells it for 10 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cave crawler (level 24, 13/128); the best rate is Water elemental (level 44), at Always, about 1 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 68 Magic and gives 65 Magic XP, using 28 × Vial, Fire rune, 3 × Water rune and Astral rune. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Vial of water pack, Neem oil, Dung kalphite and Portable well, plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 280 × Vial, 10 × Fire rune, 30 × Water rune and 10 × Astral rune and gives 650 Magic XP. Reaching level 68 Magic takes 605,032 XP in total; the Magic calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Magic guide has the Ironman training route. 40 recipes use Vial of water, including Aloe potion (unfinished), Arbuck potion (unfinished) and Ardrigal mixture. Vial of water 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 6 coins, which is 4 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
