Co-ordinates
While doing coordinates, you must have a chart, sextant, and watch in your inventory. Think of it as the RuneScape equivalent of geocaching. If you don't have those, talk to the professor in the Observatory to get the chart, Brother Kojo at the Clock Tower for the watch, and Murphy at Port Khazard for the sextant (note: You must talk to the professor in the observatory first, you don't need to have completed the observatory quest to get the items but if you start it you must finish it before he lets you claim/reclaim them (If you are reclaiming them you don't need to talk to the professor again unless it's about the chart)). You will also need a spade to dig up the chest.

If you're doing a level 3 scroll, you will be attacked by an NPC, so prepare for combat (This applies only to level 3 clues; the wizards do not appear on level 2 coordinate clues). If you're in the Wilderness, it will be a Zamorak wizard who can use Flames of Zamorak. If you're in a non-Wilderness area, you will be attacked by a much stronger Saradomin Mage who can use Saradomin Strike and wields a super poisoned Dragon Dagger. If you do not kill the mage before attempting to dig again another mage may appear at which point all mages will need to be killed before digging again (it is not known whether this is intentional). To kill the Saradomin wizard it is recommended that you bring at least one prayer or super restore potion, wear the best dragon hide you can and protect melee while ranging/meleeing it, although the wizard hits harder with magic than melee, and therefore you might need more food. Do whatever works best for you; maging is not recommended due to his high magic defence. You can alternatively wear your best melee defence armour while protecting from magic. Should you chose to do this then you will need to bring an antipoison potion since his melee attacks always poison unless you have some kind of immunity (such as that provided by an antipoison). Regardless of your strategy, always bring a one-click teleport and have fully charged prayer.

Coordinate clues do not appear in level 1 clues, and the wizards will only attack if the player is on a level 3 coordinate clue. The coordinates 0,0 centre at the Observatory. Top of the world (northern Iceberg) is about 30 North, southern Pest Control about 18 South, western Lunar Isle about 12 West, and eastern Mos Le'Harmless about 40 East.
