Question numero un. Does a ring of wealth make a difference when doing treasure trails?
Question numero deux. Does time spent on the clue de-value the prize package at the end of the trail?

Hello Runescape Mods!
I have completed a few treasure trail expeditions in some of my past RS experiences, but after a while, I began to abstain from that kind of activity. Why is this?
Well, when I began doing treasure trails (like in 2007), I completed a lvl 1 clue scroll and got 250k! In other lvl 1 clue scrolls, I got between 100-500k!
Then, one fateful day, I decided to do a lvl 3 clue scroll; I killed Ankous like crazy until I was in possession of one of these "gems". I found out that this gem was more of a "fool's gold" - when I completed this long and tedious lvl 3 clue scroll, I got only 50k!
I was shocked! I flabbergasted!
Therefore, (just for funzees) I have a few questions about the treasure trail reward system:
1) Does the lvl of a clue scroll determine how good the reward is at the end? Is there a certain price range for each clue scroll? Or are the reward values completely random, for all lvl clue scrolls? (Please note my lvl 3 clue scroll experience...)
2) Is the reward, at the end of a treasure trail, determined by the RS economy? For example, if there are like 2000 rune trimmed platebodys, and only 200 purple firelights, would I get a purple firelighter instead of the trimmed armor, even if I am doing a lvl 3 clue scroll? (A situation something like that.)
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read and, hopefully, answer my questions!

I doubt I will get an answer for this but I have been waiting to ask a developer this since the last Q&A with Andrew and MMG.
Will the Zamorak festival that Roaver talks about in Canifis ever happen?
Whats the deal with the pier in Etceteria? Was there ever a plan for it? Will it ever have boats that go some place? Why are there two piers on the same island so close together?
And lastly any progress on Prifddinas and the crystal hally?
*edit* to the guy above me please see Game Guide > Distractions and Diversions > Treasure Trails Rewards
There was a time when rune armor and black d hide from level 3 clues was valuable but now days it is easy to come by causing the value of level 3 clues to drop a lot. Much of the allure of the level 3 clues is the huge value on the VERY RARE stuff so level 3 clues are done a lot level 1 and 2 clues are not done as much so any demand on the clue only items causes them to be worth more then the average level 3 clue.

I have one question:
Is the rate of getting 3rd Age Druidic pieces from an Elite Treasure Trail the same chance as the Third Age equipment you can get in Level 3 Treasure Trails? Or are they easier/harder to obtain?

Hey Mods!
Loved the new God Armours with elite treasure trails, but are there any plans to add more of these? Like say Seren, gods from the Menaphite Pantheon, or even Brassica Prime?
Thanks! (this question was mainly to test out my new picture)

Here is the question of mine.
With god armor all the stats are the same exept it can help you from getting attacked in GWD. Would be anyway to improve the stats to be more rewarding
for example: Saradomin platebody has the same stat as rune plate body but why not add prayer bonus to it as it looks more holy.

the moment you have solved your last clue, or just open your treasure chest, is the moment your reward will be calculated. So the first couple clues you solve will not infect the reward anyhow, if im correct. For example when the tt update came out and you had already solved like 4 clues, and after the update you solved you last one you still got a new tt item.
Please say if im wrong

Elite Treasure was a good update - gotta hold my hands up to that. But I just don't get a few things:
1) Why make them rarer than level 3 Treasure Trails? I don't think they should have been made rarer than any other scrolls. I think it should depend on the monster you hunt also. For example real bosses, like GWD & Corp. beast should drop them often while metal dragons should not.
2) Why does the look/design of the God armours look so boring and plain?
3) Is there any plans to make other armour kits...like Bandos chestplate (or) etc?
4) Any plans to make other Dragon parts to match the masks? I:E Dragon scaled body, Dragon scaled chaps..
That's all the questions I have so I hope you get the chance to read them.
Thanks for the Treasure trial update....it was awesome!
