Jehosaphat Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Quote removed by admin. Siobhana Just because you're mad doesn't mean you have to **** out the whole world. Manage thy anger, or thy anger will manage you. Second, I know just what you're talking about. My last half-dozen clue scrolls have been crap, and they weren't exactly easy to do. (One had nothing but 6 Uri's Emotes in various random places across the globe...) However, I know that next time, the loot could be better. And most times, the loot sure as heck can't get worse. Also, you shouldn't be mad for it "wasting" your time. You're playing Runescape for crying out loud, that a big enough time-waster as-is. So unless some terrorist kept you strapped to a chair until your clue was done, I have no pity for the fact that it "wasted your time." True, people can get mad at what they want to, but it does seem a tad ridiculous to get this explosive over clue scrolls producing more worthless junk. Rest assured, though, that we all have felt this before, just most likely in a less.... artistically expressive manner. (You might refer to the mini-explosion I caused on the Rs Screenshots thread in General Discussion. Oops.) So, basically, cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it. Because there's no point in whining about stuff when you could be out there fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I agree with your sentiments. I hate clue scrolls in general. But you need to calm down man. When you swear that much, then swearing loses its point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quelmotz Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Then you better tidy up the rant or it'll just get locked... I don't know about clue scrolls personally since I'm a F2P player.

Boris5000 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Being an absolute clue nutter, I've learnt how to incorporate my cluescroll time into doing other things while I'm in the area... I almost 99.9% get total junk but it takes me to places I normally can't be asked going to and I pick up a few items that I need... TBH when you get your 3A piece while I don't I won't be ranting about it. I've done literally thousands of individual treasure trails.

Me_Hate_Libs Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Trails have been pretty well screwed up. I hardly even did them anymore. If I had the space, I'd keep it and do it. If I didn't, I wouldn't hesitate to drop it to get some note pure essences or some runes or whatever. This website and its contents are copyright © 1999 - 2010 Jagex Ltd.

JoeDaStudd Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was pretty peed with a series of clues I had (best item was a rune cbow out of 4 level 3 clues :wall: ). Then I did a level 1 clue from MTK and got a wizard hat (t) \ clues are wierd and wonderful. Just take a break from doing them then come back to them.

Bassy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Clues are a nice side-track from the Slayer grind, so I do every one I get. It's definitely paid off, and I'm not disappointed at all when I get junk clues, I could get 10k and still be happy. Aside from that darn Cat-door pyramid being so popular for Double Agents, I don't find any real frustration. They're like mini-quests after all. : Click Here for a Common Sense Dungeoneering Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobs4life2 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Here's an idea, once you get a clue scroll just drop it :D. Now you won't have to worry about all those hard puzzles and digging in places that the clue says to dig. But if you choose to do your scroll and get a bad reward who cares.

Siobhana Yeah, I hate it when I don't get a valuable drop every single day I'm out busting [wagon] in slayer, or when I find a good ol' bird's nest only to find that it doesn't contain a green or blue egg. Stop being so contrived; you wouldn't be frustrated if what you wanted wasn't valuable (double negative ftw \ ). It happens in life. If you want money, go do dailies; sell coal you get from Kingdom, make bstaves and alch them, craft nats through the abyss, cut yews and fletch your bows with the free 120 flax. There's plenty of other money makers out there; clues are just a bonus. edit: that's also how vegas works, except you gamble time in clues and not money.

Harakiri Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've always thought that the point behind clue scrolls was going on a treasure hunt for a bunch of (usually) random crap. Going into these things you should know you have a fairly slim chance of obtaining something valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexDT Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If the rare rewards were more common, they would be less expensive, and no longer considered a 'good' reward. Therefore, you would still be ranting about never getting any rare items. Egregious logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin_and_Tonic Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I personally love clue scrolls, in particular level 1s and 2... Level 3s normally give around 250k min (on avg) and can give up to 70m... So even if you spend an hour doing one, you've still made a little profit. I've done 5 level 1 clues on my new account, and recieved 3 pages and 2 (H) shields... All of them about 20minute clues. In level 2s i've recieved similar rewards... You should know its all down to luck... If you keep failing to get a reward YOU deem neccesary, then stop doing them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
