Ironman verdict

Pestle and mortar 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 monster, 6 shops and 1 other source for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is The Lighthouse Store in Fremennik Province, at 4 coins each. The best rate is from Zombie (Tarn's Lair): 2/128. It also comes from Pestle and mortar (Duke Sucellus).

Shops stock it in 6 places, including Fremennik Province, Entrana, Taverley and Myths' Guild.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 2 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 178 coins; only alch it to clear space.
