Add the following coin sinks for hard puzzles, both quests and clues to improve this existing content:

Let players pay zaida 2m to solve a tower clue puzzle. This will automatically solve it except for 1 tile, which will be highlighted for you to press and then get the tower puzzle achievement.

Let players pay zaida 500k to solve a lockbox clue puzzle. This will automatically solve it except for 1 tile, which will be highlighted for you to press and then get the lockbox puzzle achievement.

Let players pay zaida 700k to solve a celtic knot clue puzzle. This will automatically solve it except for 1 tile, which will be highlighted for you to press and then get the knot puzzle achievement.

Let players pay zaida 6m to solve a puzzle box clue puzzle. This will automatically solve it except for 1 tile, which will be highlighted for you to press and then get the puzzle box achievement.

Let players pay zaida 500k to allow 1 costume clue to be done without the items required.

These payments to zaida don't have a cooldown, and the only requirement is that you have enough gp to pay zaida to solve these puzzles for you. They're twice the cost of the skip ticket so it'll be a money sink if you can't buy or use skip tickets for whatever reason.

Let players pay death during sliske's endgame 10m to highlight your exact solution for the maze, this highlighted solution lasts until the daily reset happens then if you miss it you'll have to pay death again.

Let players pay kerapac 10m to highlight the exact solution for the erebus puzzle, you must pay him again for each separate checklist.

Monkey madness can already skip the puzzle box by paying the gnome, so this is just being consistent with skipping hard puzzles.

Definitely support. Might actually want to do quests then >.<

They only cause frustrations and ruin the fun of doing a quest. Stuck for hours trying to solve it..when otherwise the quest could of been finished easily.

Why not use skip tickets? Or are you talking about quests and not actual clue scrolls?

It's for both clue and quest puzzles. Clue puzzle part is for when you're on buy limit for skip tickets and don't have any left and quest puzzle part is to let players pay through challenging quest puzzles like how the snowball hill in the violet quest has a easy mode.

considering the data from jagex about gp entering game, and now the data we have with the ge tax + being able to sell over max cash on ge. we do not need another gp sink ontop of that.

if you want to pay for puzzles etc to be completed, then well buy the skips in the ge.... its already a thing (it just wont sink as much gp which is fine)

this methoid would also be really annoying when doing clues, having to teleport to her every time you get a clue and get dialogue im sure to go through.

would also cap the skipping ticket prices.

way too many negatives for literally no benefit

I can accept this update, but don't think it should allow you to 'cheat' in getting those achievements - if you're going to have the puzzle done for you, have it done entirely, not almost done and then you can claim credit for the whole thing. Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?

You don't need to do it, it's a option when you are on limit it doesn't stop you from doing clues
