Ironman verdict

Black platelegs is a free-to-play item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 3 monsters, 2 shops and 8 other sources for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Louie's Armoured Legs Bazaar in Al Kharid, at 1,920 coins each. Across the 2 shops that take coins, the price runs from 1,920 to 2,496. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Animated Black Armour (level 69), at Always. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. The 3 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 69 to 335. It also comes from 8 other sources, such as Vampyre Juvinate and easy clue scrolls. It is on the easy clue scroll reward table, so every easy clue you complete is a chance at it.

It is worn in the legs slot; its biggest bonuses are +21 stab defence and +20 slash defence. Shops stock it in 2 places, including Al Kharid and Champions' Guild.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 1,152 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 972 coins.
