Has a new OSRS scroll clue got you stumped? Check out our complete guide to all the new Clue Scroll puzzles including anagram solutions, coordinate puzzle locations and more.
On Thursday, Jagex released a new Treasure Trails expansion for Old School Runescape (OSRS) players. The expansion includes a ton of new content, mainly directed at new OSRS players but with some goodies thrown in for veteran players as well.
Clue scrolls are an enjoyable part of OSRS content and with the latest expansion, the developers have added a ton of new beginner clue scrolls, as well as new item rewards and challenges for all clue scrolls tiers. The goal for adding the new clue scrolls is to help newer and free-to-play players learn more about the world of OSRS while enjoying a classic gameplay feature.
There are multiple clue scroll tiers ranging from Beginner to Master, but most require a paid subscription to the game. The new beginner clues, however, are accessible to both F2P and P2P players. The clues added included classic clue scroll puzzles like anagrams and riddles, as well as new task-based puzzles dubbed "Charlie Clues" that help beginning players learn how to create items and equipment in the game.
Besides the new Beginner Clue Scrolls, the expansion also adds several new ciphers, coordinate location and anagrams puzzles ranging from easy to master level difficulty for game subscribers.
Thanks to crowdsourcing locations like Reddit and Discord, a lot of these new puzzles have already been solved. If you're having trouble figuring out a clue or untangling a pesky anagram, we've compiled a solution guide for every new puzzle we've found so far. As more clues and solutions are found, we'll continue to add to the guide.
