Iron platebody

The Iron platebody is the second weakest platebody. It is stronger than the Bronze platebody. Level 33 Smithing is required to forge it from 5 iron bars, using a hammer on an anvil, which grants 125 Smithing experience. Like the bronze platebody, it has no requirement to be worn. This makes it the best platebody for both new players and melee pures with level 1 Defence. For players training Ranged or Magic, an iron platebody is not a good choice due to its crippling negative bonus in those skills.

It is also the tertiary ingredient used in making iron titan pouches. It is an item used in clue scrolls.

The selling price of iron platebody is lower than Grand Exchange because only 100 platebody can be bought in 4 hours and since iron items are over-produced, the best way to get rid of them is by selling them to the shops. If stock number is less than 10, it is worth selling as price is higher than low alching using Explorer's ring.
