Ironman verdict
Super defence(3) 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 5 monsters, 1 recipe and 2 other sources for it.
You can make it yourself with 66 Herblore from Cadantine potion (unf) and White berries. Each one made gives 150 Herblore XP. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Lava Strykewyrm (level 116), at 4/128, about one in 32 kills. The best rate is from Kree'arra (level 580): 8/127, 3 at a time. The 5 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 116 to 596. It also comes from 2 other sources, such as Adept potion pack and Expert potion pack.
The material you can buy or make: Cadantine potion (unf), made with 66 Herblore.
Bosses we cover that drop it: Commander Zilyana and Kree'Arra.
It is a material in 1 recipe: Divine super defence potion(3) (70 Herblore). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 158 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 22 coins; only alch it to clear space.
