Well, I've made a start on this, but it needs a LOT of work! --Eucarya 12:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Rewards
This may be just superstition, but I believe that your chances of getting a unique item are greatly increased if you do not log out at all between the time you obtain the clue and completion of it. This may just be the way it's gone for me, so I'm not sure. --Eucarya 10:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I've never noticed a difference, I tend to get things that aren't worth my time pretty much every time I get a scroll, but I have never had anything higher than a level 1 scroll, so I cant say anything, but I'll try and do a few without logging out, and a few where I log out at least once, I dotn know when I'll find time to do so though...Marcus Gord 16:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Bored with level 1s now --Eucarya 17:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've spent twice as long as it normally takes and still no clue from Guards; nevertheless, I did have one banked, which produced:


 * 1) 1 addy long, 39 nats, fire battlestaff. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  13:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) 20 deaths, yew long, green dhide body, Saradomin cloak.


 * I had a Level 2 clue that I left in the bank for at least 5 months which produced:


 * 1) 1 Adamant Full Helmet (G), 1 Adamant Dagger, 1 Adamant Longsword, 1 Amulet of Power and 14 Death Runes. Chaoticar 23:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) 6 green firelighter,s 17 law runes, 86 air runes, 1 green dragonhide chaps and 10 lobsters.

Composite bows
They are just one kind, not short comp and long comp. I have a willow comp bow and it doesn't say anything about being long or short. However, it's speed is like the longbow and has better range bonus (willow longbow and willow shortbow are +20, willow comp is +22).

Split this article?
Should we split this article in two whenever im going to edit this it says the article is so big users may have problems editing. --Whiplash 19:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Press Ctrl + F and type in what your looking for that will make it easier for you.--Alex 18:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Finding things isn't the problem, Alex, it's the fact that certain limitations to some people means they cant see a page larger than exactly 32...somethings, whatever they are. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't split it in two; rather, take each subsection, and make each into a subpage. Personally I'd like to see this article merged into clue scroll, but with the guide a series of clue scroll/xxxs. 19:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 32 kilobytes. --Whiplash 19:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The actual problem is that some rather old browsers can't handle a textarea greater than 32k long, which means anyone attempting to edit the entire page with a very old browser might inadvertently wipe the bottom of the page off. Personally, I like having it in a single page, it makes things easy to find.  Plus, it's unlikely that anyone wanting to edit the treasure trails guide now, even if they're using an old browser, will only edit part of a section.  This guide is almost up to scratch now, and is a great advert for the wiki as a whole, because treasure trails are probably the number one used item from fan sites.  --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 09:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

New coordinate added

Order
someone needs to order all the items in alphabetical order so its easier on the eyes, and easier to find items on it Woodcutter631 23:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Use ctrl f or cmd f on macs to find stuff. Mathwhiz90601 22:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does need re-ordering maybe, but with the page being as large as it is, it's difficult to imagine people not searching it, and browsing instead. And how would you organise the co-ordinates, west to east or north to south? --Eucarya Talk 22:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything, including coordinates, should be arranged in alphabetical and numeric order. When I read a coordinate, I look at the first digit, then second, third, fourth, and then the letter for the direction.  It's confusing when the list counts down for the north and then starts counting up for the south.  Other fansites have them in numeric order, so it makes it easier to find missing coordinates. I'll start reordering the coords soon. Chrislee33 06:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Finally done, all tables in alpha and numeric order. Chrislee33 08:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

co ordinate:
01 degrees 35 mins south 07degrees 28 mins east

Reward
I just got a steel pickaxe and Guthix page. Lvl 1. Rich Farmbrough, 18:34 15 July 2007 (GMT).

Images?
I was wondering should we add images next to each item to help show the reward without clicking on each page?

hey
Can someone put this clue scroll up for me? i can't edit for some reason.
 * You almost had it, just missed using the symbol | at the beginning. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table for more info about tables.  Chrislee33 18:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The Breakup
I have a mid-range desktop, and editing this article is killing it. I've split the clues into a separate page because of that. Hopefully this will help readers with older computers.

I don't like the change. I can't search quickly to find clues now. If it can't be put back into one article, then it should be grouped in larger chunks, with picture clues, coords, and puzzle boxes in one article, and verbal clues in a second article. Mamabear47 02:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I also do not like the change as I cannot just do a quick search without having to go to a page for each type of clue I get.--00:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Low bandwidth?
I was under the impression that we already had a low bandwidth version of the guide... Why has this one been changed? Artwich 17:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
