Don't get lost.
Remember guys that the items are not in the message at all. When you talk to Faruq he tells you:

"That's most odd, but it should lead you to a place where you can find the items that you'll need."

It also has to be F2P so i thought about karamja volcano. That means a cliff and imps.

It's all i got so far. --189.139.220.19 16:07, November 29, 2009 (UTC)Sygzioux.


 * Ok Ok .... All we know is that the phrase leads toa place where we can the items. Read again what Faruq says !!!


 * Read the clue carefully and try not to go off topic. Everything is in the clue, we just need to work it out.


 * Let's try making a list of the places that link to the clue, so we can look for items that spawn at each location... Vermin171 16:08, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Anawer
3eggs 8 chizels 234gp


 * Thank you for this clue. Perhaps 'active game player' means that we have to be in a clan race? Try sounding the horn to start the race at the karamja cliff.


 * All items can be obtained from Port Sarim region - runes, nets and if i remember correctly, cabbages west from Sarim. Only cliff imp I know from that region is the dwarf (small and likes mountains) at very south. Check it?


 * Treating the entire "cliff imp" phrase as an anagram, I was able to come up with "Port Sarim Ice Caves Magic Eye Ruffle Lup". Thoughts? Namrat Jahad 16:15, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a good suggestion. "Port Sarim Ice Caves" sounds like it so it could be the blurite caves?


 * Maybe Blurite ore? 16:20, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * That makes sense. It could be. We might be getting closer... --Komain72 16:23, November 29, 2009 (UTC)\


 * True, and also, if you take the "Magic Eye" section, it could refer to Gypsy Aris' 'Magic Eye' outside of her tent. So I'm thinking the items may come from 3 completely different places. -- 16:39, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe items that r onlsy found on karamja like karamja rum or monkey bones!!!!!!!!!!!!

Items for Roddeck?
ac gae yer cue r ciff mp | all previous items That's what i've gotten so far. Might be on wrong track but its a bit coincidental. I know you can't fit all previous items in your pack but still.. i think it's an anagram.

Other language hints
German - Spiel Gefroren Murmelufo

French - L'etoffe d'hommes fortunes regele dur

Portuguese - No veste - pecar fisgar cesse To3cutt3r 16:16, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

spanish - jugador de jeugo avctivo rescata nos diabillo del cliff


 * Translated all of them:


 * French - The makings of men fortunes regele hard


 * German - Game Frozen Murmelufo (Murmelufo means Bead-Ufo)


 * Portuguese - No dress - hook cease sin

Hmm... 16:17, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * True... We don't have real world alien UFO's, but we do have flying objects, Balloons! Possibly if we find a balloon station with an Imp near it?

Chat?
Is there any live chats... so we can discuss about this????

is the CC for Live Talk We're currently in

I think the answers lie in the foreign language clues...read the french and german clues...so different lol..

Roddeck's Pipe
Im in a german world and found an item in the quickchat called Roddecks Pfeife = Roddeck's pipe. Any Ideas?

Google trends
I would have written a sentence about this myself, if the article wouldn't have been protected, so I would like to suggest the following to be added to the main part of the article: ''On November 29 2009 (the last day of the cluefest) the query 'cryptic clue fest day 4' was most searched for on google http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?sa=X&date=2009-11-29, which is a unique achievement for an in-game event. GreatS 16:38, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

I made a Trivia section, wrote a sentence about the Google Trend thing, put a picture, and someone deleted it. Guess someone doesn't think it's an important achievement... --IBriian 16:46, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

colors
Does it have ath to do with the colors of the text Faruq uses when he gives you the clues? the 1st part of the hint was in red text for me, then black then red, then black then red again. Could that be a hint as to the color of beads needed? Did everyone get the same colors when they were talking to faruq?

Its all in the forums here is what it says Puzzle 1

Let me introduce Mod Mark H, Mod Kathy and Mod Crow. Each of them is going to tell you *one* of the items you will need. The only problem is – only one of them is telling the truth.

Mod Mark H: “You need a Cabbage” Mod Kathy: “You need an Egg” Mod Crow: “You need a Potato”

But who is lying?

Mod Mark H: “Don’t believe Mod Kathy; she always lies! She stole my princess crown!” Mod Kathy: “Don’t listen to Mod Crow; he lies! He isn’t even a real bird!” Mod Crow: “Don’t listen to either of them; they are both lying. They are both lesser beings, after all!”

Figure out who is telling the truth – you’ll need three of their item!

Puzzle 2

Below are five objects. One is the ‘Odd One Out’. The ‘Odd One Out’ is the kind of object you will need for this task. You’ll need eight of this object.

No hints for this one!

Puzzle 3

Ah, here’s one of my favourite little rhymes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

“As I was travelling to Falador, one bright and sunny day, I came across a group of knights, heading towards the other way.

There were thirteen knights in total, each noble in their attire. Each knight then had three attendants – officials known as squires.

Each peasant lad was charged with caring for three mules, or t’would be their hides. Each mule had then two packs apiece, in each pack a coin to pay glad tithes.

The number of coins the party possessed – this you must unravel! For the same amount of golden coins will surely complete your travel!”

Right, now you should have all the items you need in the correct quantities. Come and speak to me with those items in your inventory for your reward!

Reason for blanking the page? Explain?
I just saw the page was blanked, and I am un-able to undo the edit.

Reason for blanking the page please? and Explain? There were a lot of different things on this page that were helpful. Please Explain your reason. --Komain72 16:44, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Regardless of what we come up with, we simply don't have all the information.

For example, how many of each item do we need? Karatenin 16:43, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

something interesting i found
on runescape cryptic clue forum thread it says at top of clue 4 It's day four of the Cryptic Clue Fest, and do we have a treat for you! It seems the clues have reached their most diabolical, but don't count on this being the last set of clues you'll have to solve today! Here comes your first instalment: sounds like another clue will come out today

Forum hint :S
some guy on forum said this as a hint "What shrimp and anchovies get stuck in, green & edible, crafted token with elemental properties" --82.95.242.249 16:46, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

kebab??


 * These are the items for the previous clue (Small fishing net, Cabbage, Air runes) we're looking for the last items that you need.

Someone has Magnifying Class in World 2.
It seems that 2 people have the magnifying glass so we know that that is the reward. They are not disclosing how they got them though, all they are saying is that "Active game player rescues our cliff imp" is an anagram. So maybe we should look into this.

That pic shows proof (8 chisels, 3 eggs, 234 coins)

Don't ask why cause I don't have a clue.

Reward is a magnifying glass, of which does an emote. Should you lose it diango can return it to you.


 * The forum hints gave it away, look at a post about the Mods a few lines up on this discussion page, it basically gives it away :)

I found the answer
The items are 3 eggs, 8 chisels, and 234 gp

!!!!!!!!

The items are 234 coins, 8 chisels, 3 eggs.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy your new item  17:05, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Happy thanksgiving from me too! Albert ace

Confirmed !!
It's 234 gold coins, 8 chisels(any general store) and 3 eggs. Reward is a " Old magnifying glass" with a "Sleuth Option". When selected the player does a small emote with the magnifying glass. I would like to thank everyone who helped out (even the one who kept on deleting the post :P)

.::Genesis::. If the reward is the magnifying glass then what is "Roddeck's Pipe"?

SPOILER
"Active game player rescues our cliff imp" is an anagram for Creative Gameplay.

Go to the RS Forums, and then creative gameplay, and click RULES.

Then complete those 3 fun riddles :)

Roddeck's Pipe
HOW CAN I GET RODDECK'S PIPE? ITZ IN QC, BUT I CANT GET ONE! HELP! GRIDSTER2


 * Lol, calm down No one has it yet. So far, we know you can not get it from the Cryptic Clue Fest. The reward for the Cryptic Clue Fest is a magnifying glass. Roddeck says this is the reward, so I doubt there will be another.


 * BUT, Jagex has said there will be a quest this week (today is sunday), I presume it has to do with Thanksgiving/Clues and whatnot, so just be patient and wait till then !  17:29, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

CONFIRMED: Items
The final items are 3 eggs, 8 chisiles, and 234 coins. I tried it, it worked. I now have the reward, which is the Magnify Glass

Roddeck's Pipe
A pipe is basicly those things you see in old movies sometimes they are toys and bubbles float out when they are in your mouth. They have something to do with sluthing,
