Ironwood OSRS

Where to harvest, how to craft upgrades, and keep your deck light.

Ironwood is a key Sailing material for speed-oriented upgrades like Wind/Gale Catcher and Gwenith Glide supports. Plan harvest routes to avoid dead time.

Where to Get Ironwood

Common near Eastern island clusters and select salvage caches. Combine with contract loops to gather passively.

Best Uses

Wind/Gale Catcher frames, Gwenith Glide supports, and hull reinforcements. Prioritize speed items first if you run contract loops.

Weight & Planning

Keep crafted pieces light—extra weight slows you down. Always place helm/Extractor first, then speed parts, to preserve 1-tick helm uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ironwood rare?

Not rare, but location-dependent. Farm near your contract routes to save time.

What should I craft first?

Speed frames (Wind/Gale Catcher) if you run tailwind-heavy routes; Glide supports if you need modest speed on tight decks.

Can heavy builds hurt helm uptime?

Yes—excess weight slows you and can disrupt 1-tick routines. Keep cargo low and plan placement around helm/Extractor lanes.
