Ironman verdict

Papaya fruit 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 and 2 other sources for it.

The lowest-level monster that drops it is Kurask (level 106), at 4/124, about one in 31 kills. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. The 2 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 106 to 295. 2 monsters drop it already noted, including King kurask and Kurask, which saves inventory space on a trip. It also comes from 2 other sources, such as Papaya tree and Fruit Stall.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 38 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 142 coins; only alch it to clear space.
