Old School RuneScape: Treasure Trail Expansion
Greetings, treasure hunters, this time there are some good news for you too! Whether Indiana Jones inspired you to look for artifacts or maybe it was all the pirate stories about them searching for a buried chest with gold, you know you love solving mysteries and being rewarded for it! This time we’ve got a big update for treasure seekers, aspiring ones and seasoned veterans alike.
Beginner Clue Scrolls
This treasure trail update brings us a brand new feature, or at least an extension of that feature into a new direction, and that is making beginner clues for free-to-play folks! Most of the time updates are relevant to members only and it’s nice that f2p players are taken into account from time to time. These new beginner scrolls are exactly what the title implies: they’re for beginners, made to introduce players to clues who have no clue what clues are about (pun intended). They’re only 1-3 steps long and the two NPC’s you’ll need are easily accessible. These are the good old Charlie the Tramp in Varrock and a new tutor Arthur the Clue Hunter who’s inside the Sheared Ram pub in Lumbridge. Talk to Arthur to get acquainted with clues and then seek out Charlie the Tramp for your first clue! Hope that helps new players get grasp of what clues are and maybe encourage them to even get a membership.

New Puzzles Call for New Rewards
Besides the addition of beginner clue scrolls, there’re also additions to the existing clue scroll tiers. Each tier, except for easy, received 5 additional clues. Easy tier got 12 new clues. There is also a new clue type which will make you dance NPC’s to your tune: sometimes you will need to play certain tracks to NPC’s, sometimes you will need to play a specific track in a given area.
Just as a real treasure hunter, you’re not doing it just for laughs and giggles. You need a reward. The rarer the artifact the better, the fancier a piece of clothing, the greater the increase of you finally getting that RS gf. There are ton of new items added to the game.
