Ironman verdict

Holy symbol 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 recipes and 3 other sources for it.

You can make it yourself with 31 Prayer from Unblessed symbol at a brother jered. That is the lowest-level of its 2 recipes. It also comes from 3 other sources, such as Christmas cracker and Coffin (Hallowed Sepulchre).

The material you can buy or make: Unblessed symbol, made with 1 Crafting.

It is worn in the neck slot; its biggest bonuses are +8 prayer and +2 stab defence.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Blessed axe. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 180 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 only breaks even.
