1. For monsters that drop both level-3 and level-4 clues, how do the drop rates for the two clue types compare?

2. Are there any factors besides pure luck that influence Treasure Trail rewards?

There used to be a rumor that carrying your sextant, watch, and chart the whole time improved the rewards, but I've always thought that was a bit sketchy 0_o.

3. Are there any factors besides pure luck influencing clue scroll drops?

4. I can has 3rd Age pl0x? =p

I think you did an ok job. Nothing great, but it could have been worse.

1. Why make mud pies and splitbark helmets required for some Uri clues? I made a killing overcharging noobs for these items so I'm not complaining, but it seemed like an odd change to make.

2. There are currently 356 different treasure trails items. Why did you feel there had to be more items?

3. I remember when flatpacks were a potential reward from treasure trails, and before they were removed, million gp opulent tables were less than 10,000. Will some other garbage be removed? For example, let us fletch composite bows and remove them from clue rewards. Cutting down on the number of crap items would greatly improve clues.

4. With the GE broken in terms of being able to adjust when there is relatively huge demand and little to no supply (junk trading exacerbates the situation until the item crashes), do you know if the latest merchgasm over the new items has changed the way anyone at Jagex thinks about the GE?

5. The skeletal horror is currently a pathetic excuse for content compared to any other boss. It is a weekly fight that has no real drops, pitiful bonus experience, and it is somewhat tedious to unlock the ability to fight it in the first place. With 8 weeks and counting with no elite scroll from it, the rate of a scroll should be at or close to 100%. Do you agree and if not, why do you think it should continue to be a complete waste of time to fight it?

6. Who's bright idea was it to dump a player's heraldic helmets and kiteshields into thier bank without any warning the first day of the update? Not everyone loves to lose up to 30 bank spaces for no reason. I'll accept your apology in advance because I know Jagex mods don't answer difficult questions.

EDIT: Here's a great example for question 3. My last level 3 clue scroll gave me a mage comp bow, a rune axe, noted shark and noted lobsters for a total of 38k worth of junk. This is why treasure trails still fail. The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, Fulton, and the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Hey =) I'd like to say that you have done a FANTASTIC job with the treasure trails. but people say that you get a higher chance of receiving a Treasure Trail when attacking certain monsters like Ankou and Hellhounds.but most recently, I have been getting clue scrolls from unusual monsters like a H.A.M. member, and I got 3 from goblins. why is this so?


Also, will there ever be costume rewards from a treasure Trail? I think a bee costume would be cool =).

Will there ever be a clue scroll that you can receive while in Dungeoneering, and you can only do it in dungeoneering? like, to raise up your prestige before the dungeon ends? I think many people would enjoy that, as well as me. Please consider this.


Thank you for your time on answering my questions. Best of luck and again, Thank you.

Ok simply will their ever be any elite clue rewards that actually have a use? It's pitiful really how no items in lvl 4 have any better stats then lvl 3 ex; 3rd age vs. bandos d hide.

Question 2 will their ever be any treasure trail reward familiars that assist in combat and are actually really good, but rare and hopefully nontradable.

Lastly will their ever be 3rd age weapons or defender?

I'm a huge fan of Champions Challenge. Are there any plans to further expand the range of champions in the near future (like, a Waterfiend or Gargoyle champion?)

Also, should such an update come, would it broaden the range of rewards any? Like, for instance, a banner to hang in your quest hall?

Finally, what's your view on a Farming resource for Stealing Creation? It wouldn't complicate the game that much at all, but it'd add a *lot* of incentive to train Farming, which is currently a rather weak and limited skill. It would act just like the current Resources of Fishing/Mining/Hunter/Woodcutting, and require, like, a Spade, or Secateurs.

When developing the elite treasure trails, what was your biggest inspiration to put these more difficult challenges (for some) in?

Also, what was the main idea of dragon masks? I see that they aren't really rare/pointless because they are only fashion accessories but I find them pointless.

No plans for a gold trimmed sara set? The WOM still has one up on me :(


But mainly wanted to say thank you for the update, I have had one elite clue so far, but sadly the total reward was 150k :(

it was alot more fun than a level 3 though

@iGreenPeace, to answer your question, Jagex has already said that you have a 1/10,000 chance in getting 3rd age each clue; also, they made it so you get a treasure trail item each clue, but did not neccessarily make it easier to get a "rare" treasure trail item.

I personally like treasure trails the way they are, if you made it give a better reward for a longer clue of the same level then it would make it too easy to get rare rewards, and even more items would crash hard, so I like it as a pure luck thing.

P.S. those things you call "junk" T.T. items aren't really junk, as many people use purple sweets, and now biscuits when going through the fight caves, and people actually DO use the teleport scrolls sometimes when they need to go to those places. So there will always be some use for those items.

Thanks for actually putting a good update for once ;) .
