Ironman verdict
Malediction ward 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 1 recipe for it.
You can make it yourself, no skill level needed, from Malediction shard 1, Malediction shard 2 and Malediction shard 3 at a volcanic forge.
It is worn in the shield slot; its biggest bonuses are +52 slash defence and +50 stab defence.
No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 27,000 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 26,820 coins.
