Ironman verdict

Broken zombie axe 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 Armoured zombie (Zemouregal's Base) (level 82), at 1/800, about one in 800 kills. The best rate is from Armoured zombie (Zemouregal's Fort) (level 105): 1/600. The 2 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 82 to 105.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Zombie axe (70 Smithing). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 96,000 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 95,820 coins.

Where to get it, easiest first

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.
