General Information

Coordinate Clues

You can enter your coordinates and get a customized map (with nice red cross-hairs on your specific location) by using the World and Coordinates Map.

Where to get the items needed to do a Coordinate Clue:

How to complete coordinate clues on your own

This next section will you help you to become a master at figuring out coordinate clues without help from anyone!

How to figure out the coordinates:

Imagine a large plus sign across the Runescape map. The center of it marks the location 00� 00min North, 00� 00min East. This spot is located at the Observatory, near the Castle Wars arena. If you move North in a straight line, the first set of numbers will increase, but the numbers marking East will stay at zero. If you move East in a straight line, the first set of numbers will remain zero but the set marking East will increase.

An example: Let's say you have the coordinates 07 deg 00 min N, 00 deg 39 min E. This means you have moved to a location north and slightly east from the observatory. Each square on the Runescape ground is two numbers higher or lower from the adjacent squares depending on in what direction you move. This picture shows the location of a square at the Tree Gnome Stronghold gate.

If you get a coordinate that says, for example, 05 deg 14 min South, 12 deg 03 min East, it means the location is somewhere on the lower half of the plus sign, to the east. It's all about adding and subtracting, yet no major math is involved.

How to use the sextant:

Your goal is to get the horizon and sun in the middle of the center piece.

1. The center piece.
2. This lever "raises" the horizon in the center piece.
3. This lever "lowers" the horizon in the center piece.
4. This lever "raises" the sun in the center piece.
5. This lever "lowers" the sun in the center piece.

Click "Get Location" to get the coordinates for the square you are standing on.

Degrees North or South

* A Zamorak wizard will appear during Wilderness and Level 3 (Hard) clues. Kill him and then dig again to get a casket.

* A Guthix wizard will appear during Level 4 (Elite) clues. Kill him and then dig again to get a casket.

Solving Puzzles:

The following basic technique will help you solve any of the puzzle challenges given to you. The general idea is to start at the top and work your way to the bottom of the puzzle. You only need to learn the order of the pieces and get them in in that order. The first piece correctly placed must be Red 1 (as marked in the image above), then Red 2, and work your way to Pink 5. Getting each section in order is becomes more difficult as you work your way to the end. If you happen to mess around with the puzzle making it unsolvable, then log out and start again.

• Yellow 12345
• Green 12345
• Blue 1234
• Pink 12345

Task Clues

Light Box Clues

To increase chances of getting a clue, a Ring of Wealth may be used. Your best chance however is to just find a good area for whatever enemy it is that you are killing, and hope there isn't a lot of people in that area. Mystery boxes from Random events have the chance to give easy, medium or hard clues.

There are a lot of solutions in this guide, and you might not even find yours if you arelooking manually. Simply use the "CTRL + F" feature and search for keywords. For example "halt us" or "under cook."

II. Anagram Clues

III. Challenge Clues

IV. Normal Treasure Clues

VIII. Fairy Ring Clues

Fairy Ring Clues require Fairytale II to start.

How to solve

These clues are in the form of 'ABC 1234', with 'ABC' meaning the Fairy Ring code, and '1234' meaning how many spaces you must move to dig. The numbers correspond to the Compass (NESW), also easily remembered by the Elementary School saying "Never Eat Soggy Waffles".

In this specific case, this clue would mean that you must put ABC in the Fairy Ring code screen, which would teleport you to that area. From the exact point of landing, you would move 1 space North, 2 spaces East, 3 spaces South, and 4 spaces west.

Below is a list of all clues relating to this.

Clue:	Steps:	Image:
AIR 2331	Go to code AIR. 2 steps North, 3 steps east, 3 steps south, 1 step west	N/A
AIQ 0440	Go to code AIQ. 0 steps North, 4 steps east, 4 steps south, 0 steps west	N/A
BJR 1123	Go to code BJR. 1 step North, 1 step east, 2 steps south, 3 steps west
CIS 0009	Go to code CIS. 0 steps North, 0 steps east, 0 steps south, 9 steps west	N/A
DKS 2310	Go to code DKS. 2 steps North, 3 steps east, 1 step south, 0 steps west	N/A

IX. Emote Clues

These clues will require you to perform one of the many emotes at a specific location while also equipping 3 specific items. You can also be equipping any other items but you must have at least the 3 specified by the clue. When you perform the correct emote while equipping the correct items, then Uri Molotov will appear and give you the next clue or casket.

The table below lists the emote clues along with the specific locations and items needed for the clue. There is also a list of some of the ways to obtain the items. Of course, if you don't want to make the items yourself, you can always purchase them from other players. In any of the clues that tell of a Double Agent, you will need to fight a look alike of Uri Molotov. The Double agent level for clues leading to the wilderness will be level 65 and for clues that lead to all other areas, it will be level 108. After you fight the Double agent, you will need to perform the emote again and Uri Molotov will appear instead.

X. Clue Droppers

These are enemies known to drop clues. It is also possible to get a clue from a Mort'ton dungeon chest (see the Shades of Mort'ton Quest Guide for initial info).

XII. Wilderness Tips

1. Use a world with a low number of players.
2. Avoid taking valuable stuff, take as few valuable things as you can (and don't forget to use protect item if it looks like you are going to die).
3. Bring antipoisons.
4. Bring a teleport (I recommend a spell with runes not something like glory ammy, as runes are cheaper and tele spells are a bit quicker to use).
5. Have Prayer 43 or above so you can use protect prayers.
6. If you see someone coming, log out and switch worlds.
7. Remember the 3 way triangle of power. If you're attacking a mage with a warrior your chances of winning are reduced dramatically. It's a good idea to have a reasonable amount of levels in every skill so you can change between them when needed.
8. Bring the best food you can afford. You'll never know when you'll need it.
9. If you're under 45 combat it is advised that you stay behind the 20 level wilderness as you can teleport here and not lose your items.
10. If you're not out there to PK then try to pick a good route through that misses all the top PKing spots.
11. If low on energy, stop in your tracks and wait for a while, while doing this keep an eye out and the cursor over the log out button in case of an emergency.
12. If your clue goes past 40 in wild, then the best way out is through the portal. BUT there is the axe hut nearby. If you go right next to the lava on the side close to axe hut, you're just barely out of map range, but it is safer to go the long way around the portal.
13. Avoid multi combat zones!
14. If you are being chased in a non-multi zone, attack an NPC as this will stop the attacker from being able to attack you. Move slowly away, getting up energy; when the NPC dies, run, then after 10 seconds log off and switch worlds.
15. Make sure you have full health and prayer before you enter the wildy.
16. Never open a casket until you are out of the wildy, in case it contains more than 1 good item.
17. When you are being attacked by another player and he has used tele block on you, just click on your mini map deep into an area of trees and you will run into them but the person coming after you will take a bit longer, this usually gives you a bit of a lead and sometimes 10 secs to log out.
18. When you log out to get away and into another world make sure your private chat is off or on friends that way if the PKer added you he won't know what world you are in.
19. If it's a deep wildy clue, don't bother running from the mage arena down, just cut through the webs and pull the lever. Same for the deserted keep: if you are not teleblocked, just run in and pull the lever.
20. Another little trick is for those with 52+ Agility, if a team or one person is chasing you, run into the agility arena, go through a couple of obstacles and log out because even if the other person is attacking you, they will have to come all the way through the obstacles giving you that precious 10 seconds.
21. If a team comes after you and you can't teleport, run into non-multi so it limits the attackers.
