I have a Charos' Clue Carrier and would like to understand it better. What wiki is saying about it is confusing, i.e. " There is no imposed limit of how many of each item the clue carrier can hold, but it cannot be used to bypass the soft limit of 25 scrolls per tier." (I have no idea what that "soft limit of 25 scrolls per tier" means!)

I am collecting "hard" clues as those are what I enjoy the most due to the puzzles in them. I'm fighting hell hounds in Taverly Dungeon so I can use a cannon. When first got in to fight them I already had over 25 hard clues in my clue carrier; and stayed long enough to bring that number up to 50. Question: Had I stayed would the clue carrier permit me to get more "hard" clues, i.e. would the hell hounds continue to drop those clues? How does this intent fit the statement above about "no limit" and "soft limit of 25"?
I am what I am! Acknowledging this is the beginning; and my growth is yet to end!

This thread has been moved to the RuneScape Guides and Help Forum for best results, as this is an in-game issue, not an account issue.

No, you would not have gotten more clues than the 50 in your carrier. The "soft cap" refers to clues that are dropped or pickpocketed, or earned by skilling activities. The "soft cap" can be bypassed only by guaranteed clue sources, such as the POH aquarium treasure chest, box of clue scrolls, or a triskelion key.

Every player has an "soft cap" of 25 clues of each type (easy - elite) which can be raised to 50 each by purchasing an upgrade at the Treasure Trails Reward Shop. Charos' Clue Carrier does not have its own limits, but uses the limits assigned to each player.
