[hide]You should include WHERE in falador the permit officer is since im fairly sure she is a new npc added just for this. I certainly don't recall her being there before or in a quest or anything.

 

Also day 2 person is confirmed. If you speak to him he gives you dialogue about it and says come back when you have the items.[/hide]

It would be nice if someone put a summary of all clues (what items and what npc etc.) after all the Clues are released. TY :)

Done and done. Thanks. :)

The answers will be added daily as they are solved, and each day will be contained within its own hide tag. I can add a super condensed version at the end on the last day if that's what people want.

Wydin says to come back with the supplies...what supplies where we supposed to look for?

We'll know when the next clue is posted tomorrow morning.

Last couple of CCFs it was midday/early afternoon BST clues went up to give a frame of reference

Clues are out, let's go.

 

The Cryptic Clues of Sherlock Hulmes

 

Sherlock Hulmes is an esteemed detective within Gielinor, aiding Roddeck with his initial Cryptic Clues from a couple of years ago, he has returned to solve an even more deviously difficult clue. Someone has been going around and hiding some potentially harmless items around RuneScape then removing them again! Preposterous! Using Sherlock Hulmes' powers of deduction and observation - can you solve the mysteries and guess what items were hidden?

 

Item 1

 

On the bush nearby the item, traces of an avian species was found as the items brushed past the bush

 

Whilst rummaging on the ground nearby, I caught a splinter in my hand which was curious - I was about 6 feet away from the nearest tree

 

The items had definitely seen some use and been weathered, a bluish rust was found at the scene of the hiding

 

Item 2

 

'Hidden' out by the Saradomin statue east of Varrock, the item was laid but when removed, a small damp patch lay where it sat

 

When the culprit removed the item, there was a struggle as if part of the item had solidified while trying to remove it

 

Part of the item that got left behind was a solid substance, it had turned a colour crossed between brown and orange

 

Item 3

 

Down in the Rimmington onion field the item was found, when removed again expensive gemstone dust was found

 

Whilst investigating the field, I found an onion uprooted with what looked like a stab wound

 

The crafty devil had covered his tracks with this item, I can't find anything other than the dust and the uprooted onion

I'm thinking

Mithril arrow

Soft clay

Chisel

[/hide]

 

Explanations for any who care to know (since I was right)

[hide]

Item 1

Avian species = Chicken = feathers

Splinter = wood = some sort of wood in item.

Wood + feathers = some form of arrow.

Blueish rust = metal that is blue, rune arrows are p2p therefore must be mithril.

So mithril arrow.

 

Item 2

Small damp patch left behind = contains liquid in some way.

Solidified = Something that can be wet that then goes hard in some way

Only item in game that can be wet but dries out to turn hard is wet clay or molten glass.

Molten glass is members and would scorch rather than leak water.

Wet Clay fits the bill as it is orangey brown when fired. (pots, bowls etc.)

So Wet Clay.

 

Item 3

Gem Stone dust = Involves gems so pickaxes, chisels, jewellery

Stabbed an Onion = Something point that could stab so pickaxe or chisel.

Crafty Devil = crafting = chisel.

Day 3 Clue

 

[hide]

 

[hide]Rising Sun Inn in Falador, speak to Emily.[/hide][/hide]

Today's was rather easy. They say tomorrow's is going to be harder.

First post has been updated. :)

Do we need the stuff from yesterday too? Cause it's not working for me...

You have to do all the days in order and you have to take the basket thing with you every time.

Grr I got confused. I thought I took the items from clue one to Essjay to get the basket, then the items from clue two to her contact. But I needed to take the items from clue one to Essjay's contact and the items from clue two to the following contract. I didn't expect to use the first items twice.

Day 3

 

 

Edit: Reuploaded

That AA text. :P

 

Edit: I see two items in there. Aren't there always 3 items though. :o

I put today's clue on a white background so it can be read.

 

 

Edit: Saradomin_Mage beat me to it. :P

Those with the black dots are not realy places or references to place in Misthalin.

I suspect the map is made to be seen upside-down.

Was the first thing I noticed aswell.

 

Btw its also flipped ;d. On the left is Al Kharid and the more left you go you pass Lumbridge and Draynor.

Was there any description to go with this picture? (Stupid RSOF won't load again...)

I have to say this one has me stumped thus far. It's in the style of London Underground map so maybe something there?

 

And nope no description just the picture

New clue is a blatent tube map.

 

Edit: Yes Sy

Does it have anything to do with the white dots? They're the only things not marked. What would be at those locations?

 

Oh, and today's clue has been added to the first post.

I feel like the white dots all land on item spawns.

 

Top right is somewhere between Sarim and Rimmington.

Top left is somewhere south of the furnace in Al-Kharid

Bottom Left should be a little NE of Champs guild near the mine.

 

Edit: Should clarify I was going around the blue square not the outer ones.
