I don't know, I can see people spamming afkable low scroll-dropping creatures to get around fighting tougher ones, whose loot should really reflect difficulty. 5x to upgrade might be OK, they'd have to test / balance it. Overall I think it's a good idea. Bob says:

surely its a bad idea, either prices will change for loots, or jagex will have to make uniques rarer than they already are to keep them steady

(mainly the third/second age, backstab and effigies cape, the sould orn, and dyes)
ive done nearly 1500 elite and not had any third age, and over a k hards and none,

I think it works. Why force me to do low level clues that can't reward me proportionately. I think this would give players access to extra clue scrolls in a good way. We can already farm them but lower level clue scrolls are dead content.

itll take like 5k easy/mediums to equate to one blood dye from an elite
would that be the exchange rate?
and maybe 600-750 of easy or medium for a shadow dye from a hard

just buy a bik book or use prosper

1 in 50 easy done gives a master clue from easys
1 in 5 elites done gives master clue

That's why a conversion table was suggested in the original post, boidae.

Even if it takes 10 easy clues to get 1 medium clue I'd pay it.

A 10:1 ratio for each step of the conversion table would be fine by me.

Besides all that, they already have the ability in the game to downgrade clues. All we're asking for is the opportunity to upgrade clues.

At the very least they could add a poll in the game to see what everyone in the game thinks about the idea instead of just going by the forum posts. Not everyone in the game Even reads the forums. If they added a poll it'd give everyone a chance to vote for it.

Hopefully the wise jmods will consider adding a poll.

This is a great idea in practice, in reality it would be a horrible idea because people who have saved up tens of thousands of easy/medium/hards would swap them for elites and masters then get multiple dyes in accordance with that thus lowering the price, this would have been a great idea on release but unfortunately it's too late now.

It'd give those players that have thousands of easy and medium clues, something to do with them. Instead of just letting them stock up because they don't have any chance of getting a dye or some other good items.

You are right though, Darknessjak. This should have been implemented as soon as the ability to downgrade them was.

Totally Awesome idea if the Ratio can be Balanced,
It would help everyone to have more engagement with clue scrolls.
Sometimes we just get a lot of easy clue's while we only dedicate ourselves to hard or elite for example,
A Conversion upwards at cost of conversion seems like a very rational and good way to encourage the true clue hunters who feel like having higher tiers are more fun. hi
