Got your very first Treasure Trail clue scroll as a member? Already spent hours beating yourself up over not being able to solve it? Fear not! Everything you need to know regarding Treasure Trails, can be found in this guide. If you are not sure what Treasure Trails are, here is a brief description.
Certain monsters in RuneScape will drop "Clues." After getting a clue, you will be able to "Read" them to find out what the clue is. To solve the clue you may need to search crates, talk to a person, or dig up a casket in the ground. Once you solve the clue, you will get another one. After solving a number of clues, you will obtain a reward. This reward depends on the class of the clue you were given.
The following sections will explain the reward system, and give you answers to all the clues in RuneScape.
There are three different classes determine the rewards for clues and there are different methods of getting different classes of clues. Level 1 Clues being the easiest to get and Level 3 Clues being the most difficult. Please note that at any given time, you can only have one clue. If you have a clue in your bank or inventory, you cannot pick up another clue.

A Coordinate Clue will be in a Clue Scroll form like any other normal Clues. You will see something like "02 Degrees 48 Minutes North, 22 Degrees 30 Minutes East" To solve these types of Clues, you will have to have four important things in your inventory at all times while attempting it. The four items are:
- Watch
- Sextant
- Navigation chart
- Spade
To start with, you must have a co-ordinate clue in your inventory or bank when you go and do this, and can't have a chart already in your bank. Once you have a co-ordinate clue, head down south-west of Ardougne (or north of castle wars) to the houses just north of the Observatory and speak to the Observatory Professor. Ask him to help you with your Treasure Trail Clue and he will tell you to get a Watch and a sextant. Then ask him about the chart.
» To obtain the Watch, speak to Brother Kojo, who is in the Clock Tower, located south of Ardougne's Zoo.
» To obtain the sextant, speak to Murphy, who is the Trawler Guide in Port Khazard, located north-east of Yanille.
» Go back to the Observatory Professor and talk to him. He'll tell you how to use the sextant then will give you a Navigation Chart.
Using your sextant, Watch and Navigation Chart:
- Click on your sextant to show the sextant Display.
- Click on the up and down arrows until you have the horizon in the middle of the eyepiece.
- Click the left and right arrows to move the sun to the center of the eyepiece as well.
- When your eyepiece looks like the one at the bottom, click "Get location" to know your exact Coordinate you are standing at now.
- Move around accordingly to find the place you are required to go and use your spade to dig at that position.
When you are attempting a Level 3 Coordinate Clue that involves the Wilderness, a Zamorak Wizard will appear when you try to dig at the location. High level clues that are not in the wilderness may cause a Saradomin Wizard to appear. You must kill the wizard and dig at that spot again to receive your next Clue Scroll or your reward.
To find where to dig using your spade, enter in the coordinates at the Clue Scroll search tool at the top. If you are having trouble finding a specific spot then try digging around where you first tried to dig. You may have interpreted the location a bit incorrectly.
Some NPC's will ask you to solve a sliding puzzle. These clues may test the patience of many players. A good way to solve them is look at the puzzle and decide how close to being solved it is. If it looks far from complete and ask the NPC for another until you find a semi solved one. To easily solve these puzzles, do the top row first, then the second row, then third, then do the four boxes to the lower left then finish off the six boxes to the lower right. WARNING! Do not log out while doing a sliding puzzle. This will re-set all of your work.
When done with the puzzle be sure to bring it back as soon as possible. If you log out with it completed, you will have to redo the whole puzzle.

This section covers clues that involve you dressing up in a certain way and using a certain emote in a certain place. If you follow the instructions of the clue, Uri will appear to deliver the next clue. Sometimes a clue will say, "Beware of Double Agents!" If it does, a high level Double Agent will appear after you complete the required actions, who you will have to kill. After you've dispatched of the Double Agent, completing the action again will summon Uri, and you will be able to move on with your clue. Below is a list of clues you may be given, along with where to go and even how to attain the items needed.
Notes:
- If a clue requests you wear a rune platebody and you haven't done Dragon Slayer or don't have 40 defence, you won't be able to complete your clue.
- Uri always says something strange/random when you speak to him. This is not your clue. Apart from laughing quietly at the people who came up with these comments, you should just ignore them.
- If you are unsure about where to find the items needed, our Shop Database may be able to help you. Just search the item's name and a list of all the shops that sell it will appear.
- If you get the clue "Blow a raspberry in the Fishing Guild Bank" and you do not have the level required to enter the guild, you could use Fish Pies, Fishing Potions or Admiral Pies to boost your level to get in or just drop the clue.
- No clue will ask for you to do one of the unlockable emotes. For example, none of the following clues will ask you to do the Lean emote.
You may be asking yourself, what rewards you will get with different leveled clues. Well, normally a harder clue you will get a better reward however, this is not always the case.
