Clue scroll

''This article is about the item. For help on solving clue scrolls, see Treasure Trails Guide.''

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

While completing a Treasure Trail, you must have a chart, sextant, and watch in your inventory (not always necessary). 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 need to kill, the higher the level of the clue. See our Treasure Trail guide to solving these.


 * Level 1 Clues are the 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 or a level 2 Goblin are the lowest level NPCs to drop them, however without combat they can be stolen from a H.A.M. Member. High Agility and Thieving make this far simpler, but it can be done at Level 20 Thieving and Level 1 Agility.


 * 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 as a Zamorak Mage or Saradomin Mage may attack you. You can occasionally get trimmed Rune Armour from these clues. Level 56 Cyclopes at the Warriors' Guild are the lowest Level monsters to drop them.

A Ring of Wealth does NOT affect the drop rate of clue scrolls.
