How to get elite clues

Featured Replies

I really want to do some elite clues, for fun and rewards, and have been hunting for them via slayer. but to no avail. 500+ metals, 300+dks, and various other monsters. where would the best place to get an elite be?

Here's a Bestiary link that searches for Clue scroll (elite)

 

I have yet to see an elite, so I can't give you any insight into probabilities.

PvP is not for me

Frosties or TD's.

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

I have done a bunch of elites and I got them all through slayer or soloing Bandos. I found the strykewyrms seem to drop elites alot more than other monsters, atleast for me. Most over mosters I get an elite every 5-20 level 3s I would say.

 

At Bandos I seem to get elites alot more often at about 30-50% of my clue drops, though I wouldn't suggest trying Bandos unless you get a good number of kills per trip. I usually get a clue each trip which lasts 20+ kills (sometimes less if I have to tele for any reason).

Slayer; it's just what I do.
Thanks Hugger 88 for the awesome siggy!

I too wanted to do them for fun, but they aren't that fun at all, lvl 3's are a lot more fun in my opinion. Awesome rewards though.. so far I've only gotten my elites through jungle strykewyrms, so slayer basically is my vote.

DKs or TDs, you might as well make the best money in the game while you hunt for them.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

I find clues to be somewhat uncommon from DKs and pretty uncommon from TDs, elite or not.

I had pretty good luck with the chaos elemental. Two elite clues in about 20 kills. It may have just been a lucky streak, though. I didn't go back after the second one so I don't have a really reliable drop rate.
