Does anyone know what will happen to the Duel Arena clue scroll destinations once it's removed? There are currently about 7 clue scroll destinations in or near the Duel Arena, and while the ones outside likely won't be affected (assuming the footprint of the Oasis doesn't exceed that of the current Arena) but what of the 5 or so inside?
Jaraah, Jeed and Hamid could easily be moved to another location with updated dialogue to reflect the destruction of the Arena, and Cam the Camel shouldn't be affected. Similarly, the emote clue and associated hidey-hole could also be moved relatively easily - they could even attach that move to some lore for one of the NPCs who grabbed your items as they escaped and rebuilt a new hidey-hole for you - but I think the coordinate clue would have to be removed completely as it points to a destination right in the heart of the Arena.
I don't duel but a lot of my Treasure Trails clues do often bring me to the Arena, so it's of interest to me what happens to those destinations.

I was wondering this exact same thing. I'm pretty sure it will all be changed accordingly, and the existing coordinates will be updated accordingly. It may take like, a day? two? max before the wiki is updated with new pictures, possibly a legacy page that directs to the old locations/pictures.

Judging by the overhead shot in the newspost, the current lobby is definitely going to be submerged. I suspect that the red tent visible near the entrance might be some sort of medical tent where Jaraah, Tafani, et al will be tending to those wounded when the DA collapsed (the spectators, assuming they're not killed off), and the hidey-hole would likely be moved there, or wherever the "lobby" for the new Hunter content takes place.

Though, knowing Jagex's history with this sort of thing, they might screw it up off the start and it'll need to be fixed a week or two later. :P

From past experience regarding updates affecting clue scrolls, the NPCs (the monk and the audience etc) will still be there and the location clues are either not affected (if the specific locations are still reachable) or given new locations close to the original (e.g. see the Artisan Workshop clue change).
