Clue scrolls are a series of tasks you will have to do to recieve a reward. They can be obtained as a rare drop from almost any monster in the game, ranging from goblins to bosses. There are four tiers of clue scrolls, being easy, medium, hard and elite. These all vary in terms of difficulty and rewards, the more difficult the clue the better the possible rewards.

Obtaining clue scrolls

All monsters drop clue scrolls, the tier of clue a monster drops varies. There are two things that affect what clue a monster drops, it's combat level and hitpoints. The table below shows exactly what drops what tier of clue. A monster will drop the highest possible clue it can drop with it's stats. For example, ice demons drop elite clues due to their combat level being high enough for it, however their hp is on the lower end. You can obtain multiple of the same tier of clue scroll.

Clue tier	Combat level	Hitpoints
Easy	1 to 75	1 to 80
Medium	75 to 125	80 to 150
Hard	125 to 210	150 to 291
Elite	210+	291+

Emote clues

These steps involve doing an emote at a certain location. These are found in all clue tiers. Upon doing the emote there is a chance a double agent will show up, killing him and doing the emote again will cause Uri to show up and progress you to the next step.

Puzzles

One of the puzzles you can find in hard and elite clue scrolls.

In hard and elite clue scrolls you may come across a puzzle. This puzzle needs to be solved in order to progress the clue. You can see the solution of the puzzle when you hover your mouse over 'hint', your goal is to slide the tiles to solve the puzzle. There is one free tile you are able to move other tiles to. While people inexperienced with these puzzles will say they're very difficult, they can be solved in a matter of minutes. There is a certain technique to solving them, it's shown in the image below.

You first complete the top row, after that you do the same with the second row and the third row. You won't be able to complete the fourth row in a similar manner. Your best bet is to solve the column of two tiles most to the left or right, and repeat that for the rest of the puzzle until it's solved. Once it's solved, click 'close window' and you should progress your clue.

Closing the window will not reset your puzzle, it will stay the way it was.

Rewards

Finally, what's probably the most important to most people; the rewards. When you finish your clue you will get a casket of the same tier as the clue scroll, this can be opened for the rewards. These caskets are tradable and can thus be sold to other players. With every clue you'll be able to get a small amount of purple sweets and biscuits aside from the normal drops. Clicking 'expand' will show you the droptable for each respective tier.
