Ironman verdict

Blue d'hide vambraces 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 3 monsters and 2 recipes for it.

You can make it yourself with 66 Crafting from Blue dragon leather and Thread. Each one made gives 70 Crafting XP. That is the lowest-level of its 2 recipes. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Hammerhead shark (level 90), at 5/100, about one in 20 kills. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. The 3 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 90 to 271.

Materials you can buy or make: Blue dragon leather, made with no skill level; Thread, sold at Dommik's Crafting Store for 1 coins.

It is worn in the hands slot; its biggest bonuses are +9 ranged attack and +4 magic defence.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Blue spiky vambraces (32 Crafting). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 1,800 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 1,620 coins.
