Ironman verdict

Bronze sq shield 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 2 monsters, 3 shops and 1 recipe for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Cassie's Shield Shop in Falador, at 48 coins each. You can also make it with 8 Smithing from 2 × Bronze bar at an anvil. Each one made gives 25 Smithing XP. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Goblin (level 2), at 3/128, about one in 43 kills. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. The 2 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 2 to 42.

The material you can buy or make: Bronze bar (2 needed), sold at Shantay Pass Shop for 8 coins.

It is worn in the shield slot; its biggest bonuses are +6 slash defence and +5 stab defence. Shops stock it in 3 places, including Falador, Cam Torum and Mistrock.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 28 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 152 coins; only alch it to clear space.
