Treasure Trails/Guide/Emotes

Emote clues
Emote clues involve equipping certain items in a particular location and performing an emote. They were first introduced to treasure trails in August 2008. These types of clues are featured in all levels of clue scrolls, and most (but not all) items required for the emote clues can be obtained in shops, although using the Grand Exchange is recommended. Once the emote has been performed, an NPC called Uri will appear and usually give the player a scroll box. If Uri is giving the player their reward rather than another clue, he will give the player a casket. If the player has been requested to do another emote before talking to Uri, and they forgot to do it, he will say, I don't believe we have any business... but will not leave. The player can then complete the second emote and finish the clue. Level 1 clues require doing 1 emote, level 2 clues require doing 2, and level 3 clues require doing 1 emote and fighting the double agent.

Many of the items asked for in these clues are obscure. The Grand Exchange is the simplest way to obtain them, but often not the cheapest. As a result of demand by players doing treasure trails, most of these items have been driven up in price considerably above what they would be otherwise worth. In many cases, emote clue items may be bought from shops for considerably less money, or even be player made with little difficulty. Note that wearing any version of a required item different than the standard one will not work (for example; a rune platebody(t) will not work in place of a basic rune platebody).

For level 3 clues, doing the emote will not summon Uri but instead an aggressive NPC known as the double agent, which uses only melee attacks. If the agent appears, the player must kill him and perform the emote again, with all the original items from the clue equipped. Note: If the items for the clue are equipped upon killing the double agent, Uri will appear automatically, without having to repeat the emote. The player can change equipment to take out the double agent but must change back after killing him in order to make Uri appear. Normally, the double agent is level 108, but in the Wilderness he is considerably weaker at only level 65. Note that it can still be dangerous, since the player can encounter player killers in the Wilderness.

Many of these clues call for the player to equip a piece of variously coloured gnome robes. There is a store in the Grand Tree, Fine Fashions, which sells all of these items. They are difficult to purchase from the Grand Exchange because very few players sell them. Therefore it is probably best to buy them from the store, which is located on the second floor of the Grand Tree, in the northeast.
