Ironman verdict

Axeman's folly 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 shops and 1 recipe for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Auburn Pub in Auburnvale, at 2 coins each. You can also make it with 49 Cooking from 2 × Bucket of water, 2 × Barley malt, Oak roots, Ale yeast and 8 × Beer glass at a brewery. Each one made gives 413 Cooking XP.

Materials you can buy or make: Bucket of water (2 needed), sold at The Lighthouse Store for 6 coins; Barley malt (2 needed), made with 1 Cooking; Ale yeast, sold at Blandebir for 25 coins.

Shops stock it in 2 places, including Auburnvale and Nemus Retreat.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 1 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 loses about 179 coins; only alch it to clear space.
