Cryptics
Cryptics are common riddle clues in higher level clues, but can be found in lower level clues on occasion also. They either lead you to a person, crates, or to a location where the player is to dig somewhere in RuneScape. Level 3 cryptics which lead a player to a person will normally result in a puzzle box, and some clues require you to obtain a key from a nearby monster to access the location you need. These 'chest key' clues are usually lower level. Oddly, If there is a key involved in the clue, it is possible to get the key before reading the hint, which could save time for a player with a heads up.
