Clue scroll


 * Perhaps you would like to get help from the Treasure Trails Guide?

A clue scroll is an uncommon drop from many monsters. It involves a treasure hunt around RuneScape, and at the end of it, some rare items may be received.

While doing co-ordinates, you must have a chart, sextant, and watch in your inventory. Think of it as the RuneScape equivalent of geocaching. If you don't have those, talk to the professor in the Observatory. You will also need a spade to dig up the chest.

Clue scrolls come in 3 levels, the higher level of the monsters you kill, the higher the level of the clue. See our Treasure Trail guide to solving these.


 * Level 1 Clues are simplest, and are dropped by low level monsters such as Men. They are normally short and involve no risk to the player.  You can occasionally get trimmed black armour from these clues. A level 2 Man is the lowest level npc to drop them.


 * Level 2 Clues are more complex and often feature co-ordinates. You can occasionally get trimmed adamant armour from these clues. Level 21 guards are lowest level npc to drop them.


 * Level 3 Clues are long, feature regular trips into the wilderness, and are occasionally dangerous when a Zamorak Mage or Saradomin Mage can attack you. You can occasionally get trimmed rune armour from these clues. Level 56 Cyclopes at the Warriors' Guild are the lowest level monster to drop them.
