[spoiler=Suggestions to solutions to first clue]

Day 5:

 

Clue 1:

We hear the prenom of Robert from 802 for this offspring. (3) EGG

A shortened friendslist which is initially under royal oath ambiguously is milled. (5) FLOUR

This drink is fit for a thousand Empress of England who is missing mad Mat, but has the K. (4) MILK

= Cake?

 

 

 

That sort of makes sense, but I can't see the logic behind [hide]egg.[/hide]

 

ofspring leads to

eggs

I got that, but is that not kind of ignoring the entirety of the rest of the clue?

Today's clue has been added to the first post.

 

C'mon Sy and Gwyn, you two have gotten every other day. Let's make it a clean sweep. :grin:

Can someone confirm these are the items:

 

Ashes

Cake

Hardleather body

 

 

EDIT: Confirmed myself.

Can someone confirm these are the items:

 

Ashes

Cake

Hardleather body

 

 

[hide]

If this is the case, I can partly deduce the second clue now;

Clue 2:

Aethelred roughly lost his quick elemental shield in this stitch up. (6) THREAD

Point north east as these eight kings take fifty east. (6) Something to do with a Compass Needle?

Particularly tough Aethelred without Edward about for this armour. (4,7) HARD LEATHER [Anagram of Aethelred without the Ed + "Particularly tough"][/hide]

I got this far with the clues, reverse engineered

CAKE

 

Clue 2:

Aethelred roughly lost his quick elemental shield in this stitch up. (6) NEEDLE (Not sure on the way round needle and thread go, both answers sort of make sense for both clues)

Point north east as these eight kings take fifty east. (6) THREAD

Particularly tough Aethelred without Edward about for this armour. (4,7) HARD, LEATHER

HARDLEATHER BODY

 

Clue 3:

Fifty opulent Georges initially a bit wooden (3) LOG

Like copper the 500th Queen fights with fists for this firemaker (9) TINDERBOX

This great can't read about the start of our own royal ground (6) ???

ASHES

Proof ;d

They also leave some 'extra items' with roddeck and avalani for you aka unlock all the past ccf rewards

Pretty nice.

 

Both items have emotes.

The Queen's arm clipped with her carriage window.

 

Well done, Jagex.

 

[hide] :thumbsup: [/hide]

And we didn't get to see the queen. Only her arm. :mellow:

That's because Jagex only made an arm. Easier to animate! :P

 

Wonder if the Queen would be amused by this.

First post updated with today's answer and Sy's explanation. If anyone figures out the final line of the third clue please post it.

 

I didn't realize the sceptre was for the left hand. Now I can walk around with both my Diamond and my Monkey sceptre at the same time. :thumbsup:

About that last line of the 3rd clue:

[Hide]

 

I believe it's about Alfred the Great, as the clue says something about this "Great" not being able to "read" our own royal ground. Alf "read" would make sense, so if he can't read then perhaps Alf is part of the item. Maybe that's a start :)[/hide]

The trouble is there is no logical reason for it to be an item at all.

The prior clues all list the components required to make the final outcome.

Egg + flour + milk (+cake tin) = Cake

Needle + Thread + Hard leather = hardleather body

 

But there is no third item needed to make ashes.

logs + tinderbox = ashes

Hatchet could perhaps be worked in but at 7 letters it doesn't fit.

 

Which leaves sort of action words and descriptive terms for the fire which don't seem to quite work eg light, flame, burn, fire etc.

 

About the only answer I can think that remotely fits would be 'ground' as you need ground space to light the fire, but that doesn't seem to bear any connections to the clue beyond it using the word 'ground'

Could also be an NPC to do with firemaking or something, but yes it must be some indication of having to light the logs for the outcome to be ashes[/hide]

 

flames?

Forest?

Vulcan?

 

 

Any idea on the removal date of this?

 

I'm assuming the standard fort-nightly temp content?

I read that too. I'm currently talking to Avalani now but not getting anything about the Cryptic Clue Fest. Perhaps I'm missing something? I have the Investigator's stuff from last year, if that matters?

Avalani in the clan camp not Avalani in citadel and the item she gives out is the rock fragment that summons burning chickens and her robes. Odds are you already have them, if not perhaps Jagex hasn't put the code in-game yet.

You only need to speak to either Roddeck or Avalani to get the items from all previous cluefests. You don't have to go tracking down both of them. Just spoke to Roddeck and got the robes, glass, rock, book, etc

He means coding the game from Jagex's end, not a code that we need to input.

Is it still going on? I'd been putting it off but if my RS actually works today I'll do it.
