Wizard hat
Wizard hat is a tier 5 free-to-play item worn in the head slot for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 1 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Wizard hat is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 2 coins, and 4 other shops stock it too.
“A silly pointed hat.”

Ironman verdict
At least 6 monsters drop it. The easiest is Imp (level 5, 1/17.07); the best rate is Stinkears (level 7), at 1/8, about one every 8 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Crafting and gives 5 Crafting XP, using 0.2 × Thread and Strip of cloth. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include New Varrock guard captain and Zombie (New Varrock). One recipe uses Wizard hat: Black wizard hat. It is worn in the head slot at tier 5 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Head list. Wizard hat 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 1 coins, which is 1 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
