Ironman verdict

Ochre snelm 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 recipes for it.

You can make it yourself, no skill level needed, from Steel dagger at a nest (nice). That is the lowest-level of its 2 recipes.

The material you can buy or make: Steel dagger, sold at Varrock Swordshop for 125 coins.

It is worn in the head slot; its biggest bonuses are +8 slash defence and +7 stab defence.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. 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.

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.
