Festive Cryptic Clue Fest

This article is about 2013 Festive Cryptic Clue Fest. For the others, see Cryptic Clue Fest.

From the 20th to 24th of December daily puzzles were posted on the forums in a special Festive Cryptic Clue Fest. The puzzles helped to discover what items were needed in the player's inventory and in what quantities. Players just needed to talk to the specified NPC with these items in their inventory to receive a festive cracker.

As with all clues, you may obtain these items however you wish, including from others players and the Grand Exchange.

If you have more than the specified number of each required item in your inventory or the items are noted, you will not receive the proper response for the event.

Tips

The columns each reference an item required and the number needed, as is done with all Clue fests. The first paragraph, the quote, references the passing (death) of Sir Owen during the quest Death of Chivalry. One "learns" of the event by utilizing the wiki page, in this case the formatting of the Official RuneScape Wiki page for the Death of Chivalry quest. "H1" refers to Heading 1. "P1" refers to Paragraph 1. A 1 follows every H1, as there is only one word, but there are more words in the first paragraph. thus, the second number refers to the word number. The last number of each set refers to the letter. Using this method, you can go down each column defining the letters of the items needed. You must take these items to Soran in Varrock.

Solution

The items needed are as follows: 4 Cheese. 3 Black cape. 27 Bronze arrow. Bring them to Soran.
