Here’s a quick guide on how you can get a water talisman as an ironman in RS3:
What is a Water Talisman?
A water talisman is used for:
Accessing the Water Altar to craft water runes.
Making combination runes with water as one of the elements.
How to Obtain a Water Talisman
1. Kill Monsters
Certain monsters drop water talismans. Here are some good options:
Abyssal Creatures:
Found in the Abyss; often drop elemental talismans.
Icefiends:
Located in places like the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon or Chaos Tunnels.
Relatively low-level and easy to kill. These are perhaps the best option.
Grotworms:
Found in the Grotworm Lair south of Port Sarim.
Moderate-level monsters with decent drop rates for talismans.
Giants:
Moss Giants or Fire Giants sometimes drop elemental talismans.
2. Skilling at Runespan
While less direct, you might get talismans from activities like:
Runecrafting at the Runespan: While siphoning nodes you may receive talismans as rewards.
3. Temple Trekking
Temple Trekking: Some rewards from this activity include elemental talismans.
Ironman Tips
Farm Monsters with High Drop Rates: Focus on Icefiends or Grotworms for a good balance of effort and rewards.
Plan Ahead: Combine your hunt for the talisman with other skills you want to train (e.g. slayer)
Stock Up: If you get extra talismans keep them for later use, especially for crafting combination runes.
