I do every clue I get.

i don't do clue's anymore,i don't enjoy them :| ;)

Good read. Even though I do 1-2 clues A DAY, the most I've gotten was 450k from a reward.

Also, its guaranteed to give you a rune item.

Lvl 3 clue scrolls is what i think he meant. and yeah its guranteed, i've never had a lvl 3 without a rune item.

Same. I can think of a lot of things that I'd rather do than a clue scroll.

i used to do every clue i got ASAP

but, now it seems like i never get them as a drop =(

(and yes i made sure there is not a clue in my bank)

:x am bored i do around 6 clues a day level 3 mainly and i have never had a decent reward most i have ever had from a clue in 2 yrs is around 400k i think something isnt right as surely in 2 yrs of constant doing clues i wud of had soething good by now i know 3 ppl who have had multi million gp rewards from clues and they havent and dont as a rule go out theyre way to do clues jagex need to look into this as i am sick of doing clues but i have to do them when i get them even tho i know i wont get nothing good as i havent in over 2 yrs :|

Add: more to the point jagex dont even listen to what players have to say the same as they were reducing randoms and was supposed to be having each month a graph to show how close they were to achieving something ie the supposed removal of most of the silly randoms.......

karma :o

I do clues whenever I feel like it, I never camp for them though.

1 clue per slay task that drops them, I havnt been hunting for clues since the second-to-last time they added new rewards.

I get decent things occasionally, but I never count on anything above 100k so I dont get disappointed. Anything above 100k from one clue is a bonus these days :)

I do clues every time I get them (about 2 per slayer task). They're a great way to not get bored and ditch training slayer :P . The best reward I've gotten was 2 Rune (g) kites and an enchanted robe top, totaling to around 1.2-1.3m at the time. Other than that, my rewards have been horrible lol. Although the good rewards are rare and sometimes not worth going through 100+ clues to get, I do think that they are worthwhile, because hey, who knows, maybe the one you're about to drop is holding a third age melee plate or kite :P

I personally love doing clue scrolls. While training my range to 70 at ardy Hell Hounds, I would drop what I was doing when I got a clue scroll. I just enjoyed the thrill of possibly getting a high level reward. Mind you, this was before the updates, and since then I haven't gotten many clues (because I don't play as much as I used to). So I really can't say whether I would continue doing them or not, I haven't done it enough to say how much I would actually do the treasure trails. Maybe if I get lucky like I used to...then my opinion would change. :)

ive been haveing that same problem but its probably cuz ive been trying to get all my skills above 60 and havent been slaying (71 slay)

The author is right - that construction junk is weighing down clue values and should be replaced.

I do all my clues. But it used to be that I looked forward to getting one. Now I dread it, as I can usually make more money doing other things.

heh, at times it seems frustrating when I get the same reward of sweets, runes, a noted food, and a random piece of rune armour or weaponry, but it is the every once in a while good clue that makes them all worth it. Yesterday I did three clues; the first two were long, tedious and poor rewarding but the last one had a zamorak page and a saradomin coif. That was an easy free million gp there. Day previous it took me four clues of almost nothing before on my fifth i got two Guthix pages and Guthix bracers. That was an easy 500k gp there.

Basically, the more you do the better the odds eventually. (Hopefully :pray: )

I havnt had a clue scroll drop in bout 4 months and i havnt gt 1 in bank, and i used to LOVE doing clue the most i have had from 1 is 200k :x but when (if) i get 1, ill do it :D

I've had a level 3 clue scroll in my bank for ages.

Can't be bothered to get rune platebody from it.

Also, its guaranteed to give you a rune item.

So no, you're not always guarenteed a rune item.

Also this was written before Wednesday's update which put god pages back in clues, so that bit is inaccurate now.

I love clues! Yep, the big majority are horrible (sweets, firelighters, rune nails and the blasted flatpacks!) But every once in a while I get something nice. And as I'm trying to fill my costume rooms mainly from my own clue rewards I do have my work cut out for me :)

As for best reward ever? 3rd age ranged legs. Blast you Jagex and your trade limits :evil:

I get items that I drop from almost every clue. I also get items that I can use or sell on GE. Seems to me if I get 100k to 200k from a clue, I am getting more cash than from monster drops from that 20 minute's. There are also times I get a 3rd age piece or trimmed rune piece. I like doing them. Just like life though, around every corner isn't a rose garden.

If you like doing clues then do them.

If you like playing mini games, do them.

Nice thing about Runescape is you can play the way you like within reasonable limits.

My current pathway to the last 1.2m exp for 99 range is to hunt clues and try to fill up my costume. I find them fun, enjoyable, and nice, even if the rewards aren't. The only reason I did Underground Pass so many years ago was to finish a coordinate I got that was there. I only got 63 fishing to pie my way into the Guild to do Uri's emotes. I've never had a reward above 600k, but that doesn't matter, I find them fun, which is what this game is all about.

I used to really like clues but after i did 3 level 3s in one day and i got about 30k from each i decided i wouldn't do them anymore

the best thing i've ever gotten was altogether 75k (from 1) :wall:

but if people really like them u should do them its not wether or not they're worth its just wether you want to do them or not

i think they should replace the construction items with charms or some free exp item (lamps and such)
