Treasure Trails/Guide/Emotes

Emote clues
Emote clues, as they are commonly called, involve wearing certain items in a particular location and doing an emote. They were first introduced to Treasure Trails in August 2008. Note that you cannot wear the item trimmed (example; a Rune Platebody(t) will not work in the place of a basic Rune Platebody). These types of clues are featured in all levels of clue, and most (but not all) items required for the emote clues can be obtained in shops. Once the action has been performed, Uri will appear and usually give the player a casket. If you have been requested to do another emote before talking to Uri and forget 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.

Acquiring the Items
Many of the items asked for in these clues are obscure. Most players simply turn to the Grand Exchange to purchase them, as a result of this most of these items have been driven up in price considerably above what would be otherwise worth. For example the pointed blue snelm, otherwise worthless, is currently trading at over 7000 gold pieces because it is called for in a clue, and most people have never heard of it. In many cases emote clue items can be bought from shops for considerably cheaper, or even be player made with little difficulty. Depending on the item, it may be simple to purchase them off the grand exchange or may be rare and/or have low supply leaving the player to obtain it on their own. The list below details the items and means of obtaining them.

The Double Agent
For level 3 clues, doing the emote will not summon Uri, but will instead summon another aggressive NPC known simply as the 'Double Agent.' If the agent appears, the player must kill him and perform the emote again, with all the original items from the clue equipped. The player can change equipment to take out the double agent, but must change back after killing him to make Uri appear. The Double Agent has 2 forms, a weaker form which appears in the wilderness, and a regular form for everywhere else. The wilderness agent is level 65, elsewhere the agent is level 108. The agent attacks only with melee, therefore using the protection from melee prayer makes him a non-threat.

Equip a Gnome... What?
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 which sells all of these items. They are difficult to purchase from the grand exchange because few players sell them, and they are poorly noted. "Green gnome boots" will be listed simply as 'Green boots' on the grand exchange. Searching for the item by the name 'green gnome boots' turns up a no-find list. It is oftentimes simpler (and cheaper) to go to the clothing store located in the northeast area of the second floor of the grand tree and purchase these items.

How to, Where to, and What to Wear

 * Level 1 clues require to do 1 emote in a particular location.
 * Level 2 clues require to do 2 emotes in a particular location.
 * Level 3 clues require to do 1 emote in a particular location which summons a Double agent, who must be killed to proceed.
