Basics Treasure trails are, if you ask me, one of the funniest things in the whole of Runescape. What I personally really like about them, is that 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, just like the old pirate did it. Treasure Trails are members only. However, the rewards can be used by both f2p'ers and p2p'ers. Monsters Here's a little list of the monsters that drop clues. I've divided them up into 3 categories, look below in the reward part for more explanation about the different categories. Monsters Category: Level: Name: Location: 1 2 Man All over Runescape. 2 Woman All over Runescape. 2 Goblin North-west of Lumbrigde, in the forest. 2 Mugger Varrock and the Ice Cave. 5 Goblin Goblin Village north of Falador. 7 Barbarian Barbarian Village 8 Barbarian Woman Barbarian Village 9 Al-Kharid Warrior Al-Kharid Palace. 10 Thug Small alleys in Varrock. 15 Rogue Wilderness level 51-55. 16 Thief Small alleys in Varrock. 2 20/21 Guard In all major cities, at entrances etc., and there's some in the Varrock Castle. 24 Man This is the human form of the werewolfs which can be found in the city Canafis (Morytania). 32 Tribesman These can be found all over the Karamja Jungle. 53 Jogre These are hard to find. If you have done the Jungle Potion quest, you should know it though. You can find them in a dungeon east of Tai Bwo Wannai in the Karamja dungeon. 62 Paladin All over Ardougne. 57 Ice Warrior There are many of these in the ice cave south of Rimmington (map), but also some in the high-level west part of the wilderness. 72 Vampire Vampires are found east of Canafis (in Morytania). 3 73/74 Wolfwoman/man This is the wolf form of the werewolfs which can be found in the city Canafis (in Morytania). 79 Green Dragon These can be found south of the lava maze in the wilderness (wilderness map). 92 Greater Demon There are a couple of these in the dungeon on the holy island Entrana, and in the level 45 wilderness to the east (wilderness map). 108 Elf Warrior Elf camp in Isafadar. 111 Blue Dragon There is one of these under the Hero's Guild, and also in the members dungeon (map). 122 Hell Hound These can be found in the members dungeon, just north of black dragons (map), and in the dungeon east of Ardougne (read the lever combination in our Family Crest quest guide.). 156 Red Dragon Lava lake in level 38-41 wilderness. 227 Black Dragon These are located in the members dungeon, entrance south of Taverly, go all the way in (map), and in the wilderness lava maze dungeon (map). Treasures 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 give me 3 bronze pick axes) Category 1: The monsters in category 1 will drop clues that lead to Black armour. It can be normal, trimmed or gold trimmed. They can also lead to treasures containing berets, highwayman masks and wizard boots. Category 2: The monsters in category 2 will drop clues that lead to Adamant armour. It can be normal, trimmed or gold trimmed. They can also lead to treasures containing wizard and ranger boots and headbands. Category 3: The monsters in category 3 will drop clues that lead to Rune armour. It can be normal, trimmed or gold trimmed. They can also lead to treasures containing cavaliers, pirate hats and robin hood hats. Furthermore, they can lead to treasures containing the armour of the three Runescape gods; Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak. 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 North-west of burthorpe (north of the hero's guild) in the cave Aha Jar Jaraah Dueling area hospital Are Col Oracle Ice Mountain Bail Trims Brimstail In the gnome stronghold. Little east of bridge enter hollowed rock which leads to his cave. Bar Bell Seek Kebab Seller Al-Kharid Eek Zero Op Zookeeper Ardougne El Ow Lowe Archery Store in Varrock Goblin Kern King Bolren Gnome Maze Halt Us Luthas Karamja Me If Femi Gate to Gnome Village Ok Co Cook Lumbridge 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 who ever 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 Co-ordinates When you get a co-ordinate 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 of to the house north of the Observatory. You can find the Observatory south-west 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 clock tower (located south of Ardougne). Speak with brother Kojo and ask him for the watch. To get the sextant go to the Khazard Docks (located north-east 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, I have made a little tool. Open it here.. This locator is not 100% accurate, but its pretty close, and it *should* give you an idea of were to go with your sextant for the right location. 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. Note: When you follow a clue with co-ordinates, you will need to have the sextant, watch, chart and clue in your inventory to dig up the treasure. Note: With co-ordinates 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. And even out of the wilderness you'll get attacked, when doing level 3 co-ordinate clues, you'll most likely have to face the level 108 Saradomin Wizard, he uses both Melee and Magic attack, so be aware. 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 Map: Location: Champions Guild Draynor Village Lumberyard, north-east of Varrock North-east of Falador, south-west of Barbarian Village Varrock East Mine Goblin village near the observatory West Ardougne Black Warriors Castle (wilderness) South of the Ardougne Castle. Mcgrubor's Wood Sir Galahad's house, west of Mcgrubors Wood Hobgoblin area, west of the crafting guild Behind the anvil house in Yanille West of the necromancer's tower Building in west-Rimmington Wizards tower south of Draynor Village.

Riddles Riddles are primarily to test your Runescape knowledge. If you remember most of the stuff you learned through quests and other information, you shouldn't have a problem with these.

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, you will get a new clue sentence (not scroll) from the chest.
