Treasure Trails Q&A Questions!
Quick find code: 254-255-26-61790245
Will there ever be a wardrobe or chest in the Costume Room to store 'emote clue secondaries', the items required to do emote clues? Any other storage facility would do as well (e.g. an npc like Diango).
This would save row after row of stockpiled emote clue secondaries in the bank.
Love the treasure trails, thanks

Hej there!
The thing that bothers me the most is how the answers to riddles and annagrams can easily be found on the internet, and so no one actualy "solves" them anymore.
What truely amazes me is that even coordinate locations can be found on the internet. They appear to be a set of RANDOM coordinates pointing at some RANDOM location. But they aren't... there is a set of specific spots that need to be located, through the coordinates, so you ALWAYS get coordinates for one of these specifik spots, which doesn't make it random at all, and makes it very easy to be solved be a guide.
Now I hoped the new Scan system from elite clues would solve this. An arrow pointing in a RANDOM direction, towards a RANDOM square, can't get any harder than that.... BUT, alas, the same mistake happens here... It isn't a random square, its a set of specifik squares, and you are always pointed towards one of those squares from that specifik set... Again, this makes it VERY easy to be solved by a guide...
I was wondering, is it impossible to make something TRUELY RANDOM??? A COMPLETELY RANDOM square on the world map gets picked, and you have to locate it... That can't be solved by a guide at all, and would truely by an ELITE treasure trail...
My guess is there are some technical limitations to Java that prevent such randomness, but I would still like to hear more about it
I hope my question was clear

Treasure Trails is a great way to pass time, but its near impossible after the update
I remember when guards used to drop level 2 clue scrolls uncommonly. now its rare =P
Now I have to kill cockroach solders for my clue scrolls, and it still takes me forever then =(
It clue scrolls were just a little bit more obtainable, that would be great =)
Now I know your going to think: "More clue scrolls, more Treasure Trails items on the G.E."
Yes, but what items? obtaining third age from a clue scroll is 1/1000 chance. Other items are less rare, but still take many many clue scrolls to obtain.
YOU COULD ADD A MINI GAME THAT WILL GIVE YOU 1 CLUE SCROLL EACH WEEK. (caps so this catches your eye =P)

Hey Maylea, nice to meet you.
First of all, you did a great job along with the other developers making the Treasure Trails update!
1) Why are the bonuses for the new Prayer books so low? They are barely different when compared to the Guthix book, yet much more expensive. Any chance of improving these? (Like, 5% magic damage for Ancient, +5 or +6 Strength for Bandos...)
2) The Saradomin armour and Armadyl armour look extremely similar (except the platebody). Any chance of making the difference more noticable?
3) In addition to Pepper Bif*'s post on page 1, Royal implings would be a good candidate for level 4 clues, perhaps Dragon/Zombie implings too (but only the ones you caught yourself, perhaps?).
4) Are the expensive rewards from level 4 clues more common than level 3 clues? All of the items obtained from level 4 clues are cheaper than level 3 clue rewards (except the Druidic Top in some cases), which is pretty strange imo.
5) General question about Prayer books, why does it take special "attack" energy to preach?
6) Another question about Prayer books, if you chose the wrong book at Jossik, you first have to fill the book before you can receive another one. This is quite a pain, especially if you accidentally choose a more expensive book. Perhaps the dagannoths below the lighthouse could drop empty books?
7) Don't know if I can ask but, could you tell us minor stuff about the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest? (MOTM5)
Thank you for taking your time to answer this.
