Clue scroll (hard)

A Clue scroll (Hard), sometimes called a level 3 clue scroll, is a valuable random drop from a large variety of high-levelled monsters. A level 3 clue scroll can be 1-15 clues long. If a player possesses a clue scroll, they must either complete it or drop/destroy it in order to receive a new one. Clue scrolls are the start of a treasure trail - a treasure hunt that sends players hunting all around RuneScape. At the end of the hunt, players receive a reward of items randomly selected from a specific list, possibly including very rare and very valuable items. Level 3 clue scrolls are usually long and complex, and can give the player puzzle boxes to solve. They can also involve trips to the Wilderness, and fights with a Zamorak wizard, a Saradomin wizard, or the Double Agent. They can offer valuable rewards in return, such as Rune equipment, Third-age equipment, or Gilded armour.

These clue scrolls are much harder than the other difficulties, due to the risk of being attacked, and require more quests to be at least partially completed. For this reason many players prefer to complete easy or medium clues.

Completion of hard clues will either give a Scroll box (hard), containing another clue, or a Casket (hard), containing the final reward for the trail.
