Compass Clues

Compass clues are found in elite and master treasure trails, when clicked upon they show an arrow pointing in the direction of where the casket is buried. Simply head in the direction the compass is pointing to until the arrow turns into a cross, where you must dig. It is advised that you teleport to various lodestones to narrow down the location.

A Guthix wizard (level 119) may appear and attack you with all three combat styles (melee, ranged and magic), Kill him and then dig again to get the casket. If the Guthix wizard appears in the Wilderness it will be a level 110.
