Ironman verdict

Aquanite tendon is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 2 monsters for it.

The lowest-level monster that drops it is Aquanite (level 145), at 1/3,500, about one in 3,500 kills. The best rate is from Elder aquanite (level 305): 1/750. The 2 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 145 to 305.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Aquanite hopper (60 Smithing). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 3,000 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch nets about 2,820 coins.

Our order: buying first, then making it (lowest skill level first), then killing for it (lowest-level monster first), then other sources. Up to three of each; the full lists are below.
