Basics

Treasure trails are one of things in RuneScape that give a whole lot of fun. You don't have the slightest idea what you'll get, or when you'll get it. If you like adventures, be sure to do some treasure trails. Treasure Trails are members only. However, the rewards can be used by both f2p'ers and p2p'ers.

Below is a list of the monsters that drop clues. They've been into three categories, look below in the reward part for more explanation about the different categories. The higher the category, the better the potential reward if you complete the clue.

Basics

The rewards from treasure trails can vary a lot. Of course, like with so much else, the harder the monster, the better the reward. Below is a table of the different rewards for the different categories. Note that these might not be 100% accurate, and that you will not always get all of the things. (I've had a trail that gave me 3 bronze pick axes) The table only shows the special items you can obtain exclusively from trails. You can also get pickaxes, weapons, runes, torn pages for God Prayer Books and other normal items from trails as well.

Anagrams

An anagram is a word where the letters of the original word are rearranged to make a new word. If you get an anagram clue, it will say so on it. There aren't many anagrams in treasure trails, and they aren't hard to figure out. Here's the list:

Anagrams
Anagram	Person	Town/Location
A Bas	Saba	Northwest of burthorpe (north of the hero's guild) in the cave

Peaty Pert	Party Pete	Seers' Village

Challenges

Challenges will not be in a clue scroll like all the other clues, they will be in challenge scrolls. When you get a challenge scroll you will need to figure out the answer, and return to whoever gave you the challenge, and give him/her the answer. Currently, there are only very few challenges, here's a list:

Challenges
Challenge	Formula	Answer
19 to the power of 3	19*19*19	6859
What is 57x89+23?	57*89+23	5096
If x is 15 and y is 3, what is 3x + y?	3*15+3	48
I have 16 kebabs, I eat one myself and share the rest equally between 3 friends how many do they have each?	(16-1)/3	5
How many cannons does Lumbridge Castle have?	Count them	9
How many animals in Zoo?	Count them	40

Coordinates

When you get a coordinates clue, it will say something like "04 degrees, 13 minutes North, 12 degrees, 45 minutes East". When you have this, examine it, and then head to the house North of the Observatory. You can find the Observatory Southwest of Ardougne, West of the Gnome Maze. Here you will find a professor, talk with him, and ask him to help you with treasure trails. He will tell you to get a watch and a sextant.

· To get the watch go to the Clocktower (located South of Ardougne). Speak with brother Kojo and ask him for the watch.

· To get the sextant go to the Khazard Docks (located Northeast of Yanille). Speak with Murphy and ask him for the sextant.

When you have those two, go back to the professor again, and he will give you a long lesson in how to use the sextant. And he will also give you a chart. If you didn't read or didn't understand it, see below.

How to use the sextant to get locations:

Ok, when you have the sextant, click on it to 'look through' and get your location. However! Before it's able to tell you your position, you will need to click on the up and down arrows until you have the horizon in the middle of the eye piece. After that, use your right and left arrows to get the sun in the centre of the eye piece as well. When you have this, and your eye piece looks like the one to the right, click "Get location" under the sextant image (above your chat box).

How to use your location:

Now you know how to get your current location, but you still need to learn how to get to your desired location (the one on the clue scroll). First you want to find the right longitude (east-west). If your clue says something like 12 degrees, 56 minutes east, and you're at 6 degrees 12 minutes east, then you simply walk east until you hit 12 degrees. Once you do that, you can try to hit the minutes by going a little more east. Then you try to find the right latitude (South-North). Go North/South until you hit the right place. This can be tricky, and the first 5 times you'll have to think and try a lot to get it right.

To help you with finding the right location, we have made a useful feature. Open it here. This is a pop-up, so it might not open if you have a pop-up blocker active. This locator is not 100% accurate, but its pretty close, and it *should* give you an idea of where to go with your sextant for the right location. We have also compiled a list of known coordinates in text format, if you feel more comfortable using that.

When you're at the right location, and you've double checked it, dig with a spade on the spot. If there's already something there, pick it up and dig.

· Remember: When you have a coordinates clue to solve, you will need to have the sextant, watch, chart and clue in your inventory to dig up the casket containing your treasure/next clue. And don't forget to bring your spade with youyou can't dig anything up with your hands!

· Note 1: With certain level 3 clues outside of wilderness, a Saradomin Wizard will attack you when you begin to dig. If you have protect from magic on, it will attack with a poisoned dagger. If you have protect from melee on, it will attack with magic. Best idea is to wear full dragonhide and attack him with protect from melee on.

· Note 2: With certain level 3 clues, you will be asked to go to an area that is only accessible if you have completed or started a high-level quest. For example, you may get a clue that leads you to the Kharazi Jungle, South of Shilo Village. To enter the jungle, you will need to at least start the Legends quest. If your clue leads to the Canifis area in Morytania, you will need to have completed Priest in Peril and, depending on WHERE in Morytania the coordinates lead, you may also have to start Nature Spirit. There are other clues like this, so be aware that this CAN happen.

· In the wild: With coordinates in the wilderness you will always need to fight a level 74 Zamorak Wizard before you can get the casket containing your next clue/treasure.

Maps

Sometimes you might get a clue scroll, and when you open ot up to read it, all you see is a map. Your task is now to find out where that place is, and then, like the pirates always do, take the steps shown on your map, and dig where X marks the spot. To dig, you'll need your trusty spade. Here's a list of the different maps:

Maps

Puzzles

Well, it's kind of hard to make a good guide for solving the puzzle boxes in treasure trails, since they always start randomly, but this might help you. · Do the first row (Red) · Do the second row (Yellow) · Do the third row (Green) · Get the 4 squares done (Blue) · Get the last 6 squares done (Purple)

Riddles

Riddles are primarily to test your Runescape knowledge. If you remember most of the stuff you have learnt through quests and other information, you shouldn't have a problem with these. However, since there are usually one or two things that might have slipped your mind, here's a list of the current riddles. They are in alphabetical order after the first letter in the riddle (example: "My name is..." is under M).

**Note: When you go to some locations with chests or drawers, you may find that the chest/drawers is/are locked. If this happens, you will get a message giving you a hint about what to do next. The message might say "Beware of dog" or "It's guard's life" or something similar when you try to open the chest/drawers. If you get a message like this, just look for it in the list that follows. Remember to have your clue scroll with you, or else you will not get the key the monster drops.

FAQ

1. I'm on the right locations, but I cant find anything
If it's a coordinates clue, make sure you have the sextant, chart, watch and clue in your inventory, or else you will not find anything when digging. Keeping these items in the bank doesn't work. If you never received a sextant, watch and chart, go see the Professor in the house North of the Observatory. Refer to the Coordinates section at the beginning of this guide for more information.

If it's a normal clue, make sure you have your clue with you.

2. I've been killing this monster for ages without a clue!
According to Jagex you can't have anything in your inventory from the last trail you did. So if you have anything in your inventory from your last trail, that might be why. Also, monsters will not drop clues if you already have one in your bank/inventory.

Also, make sure the monster you're killing actually drops clues. Check the Basics section at the beginning of this guide for a list of monters that drop clues. Otherwise, you'll just have to be patient! Clue drops are purely random—you may get 3 in one day by killing the same monster, or you may not get any for 3 weeks!

3. What items are f2p?
All the trimmed and god armour is f2p. Non-members can buy these items from members and wear them like any other armour. The other stuff (Boots, hats, headbands etc.) is p2p only.

4. Can I have more than one clue at a time?
No you can't. You cannot get another clue before you've either dropped or completed your current one. Monsters will not drop clues if you have one in your bank/inventory already.

5. Does the ring of wealth help with clues?
We have confirmed this with Jagex, and the Ring of Wealth does not make the drop rate of clues from monsters any higher, and it does not help you on the reward you receive when doing a Treasure Trail. The Ring of Wealth only increases the chances you'll get a better/rarer drop from the monsters you're killing.

6. Can clue scrolls or the sextant, watch and chart be traded?
No.

7. Do I keep my clue scroll if I die?
No.

8. What do I do if I lose my sextant, watch or chart?
If you lose your sextant, go back and ask Murphy in Port Khazard for another one. If you lose your watch, go speak to Brother Kojo at the Clocktower, and if you need another chart, go speak to the Professor in the house North of the Observatory.

9. If I see someone drop a clue scroll, can I pick it up?
No. Clue scrolls are not tradeable, nor can they be picked up from the ground if someone dies or drops it. Only the person that received the scroll in the first place can solve the treasure trail the scroll belongs to.

10. I've tried speaking to the Professor over and over again about getting Treasure Trail help and the sextant, watch and chart, but all he talks about is his broken telescope and his planks. What's going on?
First, you must have a coordinates clue with you when you first speak to the Professor. If you don't, he won't talk about treasure trails at all. If you have the coordinates clue with you, try examining the clue before you speak to him. If this doesn't work, then you must have started the Observatory quest at some time and not finished it. You should therefore finish the quest, then talk to the Professor again. Remember - if you choose the wrong option when you speak to him, that is, if you click on anything other than the Treasure Trails option, you end up starting the Observatory quest if you haven't started it yet.

11. I know that members get trimmed armour from Treasure Trails, but I'm a non-member, and someone offered to trim my armour. How can I trim my armour myself?
You can't trim armour. Members can't trim armour. Nobody can trim armour. There is no such skill as armour trimming. Trimmed armour, whether plain or gold, can only be obtained by completing a Treasure Trail. You can, however, purchase trimmed armour from other players, even if you're not a member.

If anyone offers to trim your armour, or they tell you they're a member and armour trimming is a new member skill, don't believe it. It's a scam, and they will steal your armour. You should report the person by using the "Report Abuse" button at the bottom of your playing screen.

Sometimes you might get a clue scroll, and when you open ot up to read it, all you see is a map.
