What is the reason behind ironmen not able to drop items inside the wilderness? It is pretty annoying. Especially when you accidently pick up an item you do not want.

I assume because of this.

It's because items dropped in wilderness appear to anyone as soon as they are dropped. The items aren't ''bound'' to you when dropped like they are outside of the wilderness since at first you're the only one who can see them.

That explains a lot, thank you for that.

Another thing I'm still wondering about, why does this exist? What is its function?

It existed to be fair among pkers.
For example: pkers can't just drop their items when they know they'll die and come back later to pick it up. Same goes for pkers with cash risk...this was aimed to stop the scams in wilderness.

Seems fair for them indeed. But shouldn't there be a solution for ironmen inside the wilderness. Blocking them from dropping anything seems weird and annoying.

Try taking attack potions as drop from green dragons and after drinking it drop the vial. Rip space.

That is the exact reason why I created this topic

Being able to drop in wilderness would help a lot when hunting black salamanders too.

Did not even think of that, that is even more annoying.

Does alching even cancel the action of picking up and laying down traps? At least mining doesn't get interrupted when dropping or superheating.

Sure it might be possible, but it might also be complicated to rewrite the current dropping system. Idk

Alching works very differently from Runescape. You probably have to wait around 3 seconds before you can even use alchemy after you pick up your trap.
You can't even use the alchemy spell while fishing for example, it wont cast it.
