This article contains all the possible clues when doing clue scrolls. For clues related to a specific clue scroll, see [[Treasure Trails/Full guide]].

For the main article, see [[Treasure Trails]].

==Preparation==
===Difficulty levels===
The 'level' of a [[clue scroll]] relates to its difficulty. There are six levels of clue scroll: [[Clue scroll (beginner)|Beginner]], [[Clue scroll (easy)|Easy]], [[Clue scroll (medium)|Medium]], [[Clue scroll (hard)|Hard]], [[Clue scroll (elite)|Elite]], and [[Clue scroll (master)|Master]]. An [[easy clue scroll]] is a low difficulty [[Treasure Trail]], with a low reward yield. A [[medium clue scroll]] is a medium difficulty Treasure Trail with a more substantial reward yield. A [[hard clue scroll]] is a hazardous Treasure Trail, which can be very rewarding. An [[elite clue scroll]] is the penultimate, dangerous clue scroll (both to receive and to complete). Elite clue scrolls, however, require killing higher level [[monster]]s, which is rewarded by its greatest and most expensive rewards as compared to other levelled scrolls. A [[master clue scroll]] is the most dangerous clue scroll and requires not only killing higher level monsters in both [[single-way]] and [[multi-way combat]] but also high level [[skill]] requirements.

Clue scrolls are generated primarily by monster drops, but also can be generated through [[Thieving]], and as certain activity rewards. Each level of clue has a very different set of possible rewards and items, and hazards, so it is worth knowing what the player is in for.

===Length===
*[[Clue scroll (easy)|Easy clue scrolls]] can be between two and four clues long with few or no [[quest]] requirements.
*[[Clue scroll (medium)|Medium clue scrolls]] can be between three and five clues long with some quest requirements.
*[[Clue scroll (hard)|Hard clue scrolls]] can be between four and six clues long, with multiple enemies to defeat and can have high-levelled quest requirements.
*[[Clue scroll (elite)|Elite clue scrolls]] can be between five and seven clues long, with multiple fights, and puzzles every step.
*[[Clue scroll (master)|Master clue scrolls]] can be between five and eight clues long, with multiple fights, puzzles every step, and can have very high-levelled quest and [[skill]] requirements.

====Medium, hard and elite====
'''Note: You are no longer required to own a [[sextant]], [[watch]], or [[chart]] in order to complete [[coordinate clues]].'''
Alongside the above mentioned items, for these types of clues, you will often need some additional tools:

|}

====Hard, elite and master====
[[Clue scroll (hard)|Hard]], [[Clue scroll (elite)|elite]], and [[master clues]] will often encounter various wizards and guardians that may prove difficult to fight. Therefore, the following items are recommended:
{|class="wikitable align-center-1"
! colspan=2 | Item

|-
| {{plinkp|Shark}}

|}

===Quests===
Having a high amount of [[quest points]] is beneficial when doing [[Treasure Trails]]. Many higher-level trails will lead a player into areas, which are locked by [[quests]]. If this is the case, the player must do the quest, up to where access to the area is granted, if they wish to complete their trail. If the player hasn't done the needed quest yet, but they have the requirements or are in a position to get them quickly, it is recommended that the player (trains and) does the quest, rather than getting rid of the [[clue scroll]].

* Starting [[Fairytale II - Cure a Queen]] is highly recommended, as you will be able to use the [[Fairy rings]].
