Overview

When you kill monsters, you have a chance of getting a clue. This clue could lead to a grand treasure! The only way to find out is to follow it to the end.

Deciding to embark upon a Treasure trail clue can take you minutes or hours to finish depending on the type of clue you get and your own abilities. Some will require you to venture into the Wilderness, so be prepared! Some will require you to search out specific items to equip. In the end, the lure of rare treasure has drawn many players to scout the lands of Runescape for that hidden casket containing untold wealth.

Suggested Items


The number and variety of items needed to complete a clue vary widely. They can be completed with a minimal number of items and investments. However, often with a heavy investment of time completing quests and investment of gold, the speed at which clues can be completed can be decreased greatly. Making the investments can be costly increasing the speed at which they are completed will often be offset by the increased number of clue rewards received.

Below are 3 categories of items that can help in your journey. Basic Items are general items that may help, Teleports are the items that help you teleport closer to a location these items are the main way to speed up clues, and the third section is an explanation of how the Globetrotter outfit works and helps with clues.

Basic Items


For Easy and Medium clues almost nothing is required. For Hard, Elite, and Master clues there are often NPCs that need to be fought. Because of this armor, food, and Weapons are a base requirement for doing the higher level clues.

A number of clue have a need to run for longer periods of time. Due to this fact items that help with run energy are helpful. The Agile top, Agile legs, and Boots of lightness all decrease your weight and allow you to run longer. The Explorer's ring 4 allows you to replenish some run energy 2 times per day.

Some abilities can help with running and speed also. Surge and Bladed dive help you move faster (Bladed dive requires dual wield weapons). Surge can be doubled with the Double Surge codex (tradeable). If you have a high enough level weapon that can be Augmented you can add the Moblie perk to it to decrease the cooldown on these abilities. Another perk often used for clues is the Glow worm perk which acts as the equivalent of a Bullseye lantern reducing the need to carry a light source with you.
