Clue scroll (elite)

A clue scroll (elite) is a valuable random drop from a large variety of high-levelled monsters. If a player possesses a clue scroll, they must either complete it or drop/destroy it in order to receive a new one of the same difficulty. An elite clue scroll can be 9-12 clues long. 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. Elite clue scrolls are usually very long and complex, and will take effort to be completed.

Trips to the Wilderness may be required, whilst co-ordinate clues will require the player to fight an Armadylian guard or a Bandosian guard.

These clue scrolls are much harder than the other levels of clues and require more quests to be at least partially completed. For this reason many players prefer to complete easy, medium, or hard clues. The average reward for elite clues is currently only slightly higher than that of hard clues, soon to be updated.

Requirements
As elite clues are the second highest tier clue scroll, there are many more requirements needed to complete every clue given.

Skill requirements
Certain clues will require items that need a certain skill requirement in order to wear, wield or access. The table below shows the highest skill requirement, in order to complete every elite clue. Quest skill requirements are not noted in this table. Sherlock may also give you skill challenges which require certain skill levels to complete. Temporary skill boosts can be used for non-combat skill challenges.

Quest requirements
Some clues require access to areas or NPCs which may require quests. Some only require to start the quest in order to gain access.
