Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Cave bug (level 6, 5/128); the best rate is Giant skeleton (Tarn's Lair) (level 84), at 5/128, about one every 26 kills. Other sources include Candles (Entrana). 27 recipes use White candle, including Blue candles (2 candles), Blue candles (4 candles 1) and Blue candles (4 candles 2). White candle 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 18 coins, which is 12 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
