Clue scroll

''This article is about the item. For help on solving Treasure Trails, see Treasure Trails Guide.''

A clue scroll is a random drop from many monsters. Monsters will only drop a new clue scroll if you do not already have one in your bank or inventory. These start a Treasure Trail, or a treasure hunt around RuneScape, and at the end of the hunt players receive a random reward, possibly including rare items.

Clue scrolls come in 3 Levels. The higher the level of the monsters the player needs to kill, the higher the level of the clue.


 * Level 1 Clues are the easiest to complete, and are dropped by low level monsters such as Men. They are normally short and involve no risk to the player. Players can occasionally get trimmed Black Armour from these clues. A level 2 Man or a level 2 Goblin are the lowest level NPCs to drop them; however,  they can be stolen from a H.A.M. Member. High Agility and Thieving make this far simpler, but it can be done at Level 15 Thieving and Level 1 Agility.


 * Level 2 Clues are more complex and often feature Co-ordinates. Players can occasionally get trimmed Adamant Armour from these clues. Level 19 guards are lowest level NPC to drop them. These are the clue scroll's that can be purchased from Trouble Brewing for 5000 Pieces of Eight.


 * Level 3 Clues are long, feature regular trips into the Wilderness, and are occasionally dangerous as a Zamorak Wizard or Saradomin Wizard may attack the player. Players can occasionally get trimmed Rune Armour from these clues. Level 56 Cyclopes at the Warriors' Guild are the lowest Level monsters to drop them. Many players choose to kill hellhounds for clue scrolls, as they are easily ranged or maged.
