Ironman verdict

Steel limbs 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 3 shops and 1 recipe for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Crossbow Shop (Keldagrim) in Keldagrim, at 750 coins each. Across the 3 shops that take coins, the price runs from 750 to 900. You can also make it with 36 Smithing from Steel bar at an anvil. Each one made gives 37.5 Smithing XP.

The material you can buy or make: Steel bar, made with 30 Smithing.

Shops stock it in 2 places, including Keldagrim and White Wolf Mountain.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Steel crossbow (u) (46 Fletching). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 150 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 30 coins; only alch it to clear space.
