Clue scrolls, harder to get?

Featured Replies

Is it me, or a Clue Scrolls harder to get?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure there random, you could have to kill one guard or 100 guards, but today i was killing guards for an HOUR and not a thing happened.

 

 

 

This isn't necasserialy a rant, i am just curious if Jagex made Clue Scrolls harder to get as well as new items? :?

I'd eat Mackerel anyday over cake, because i know if i die i can make more :D

Guards are selfish with their clue scrolls, for god's sake we practically have to kill them for their clue scrolls! :D

Maybe as a monster drop, but i havent noticed a difference in clue scroll appearance when i am ransacking the HAM HQ.

I am adamant Jagex did that under our noses, or maybe they just made it harder to get clue scrolls from guards

it's random - sometimes you randomly get one, sometimes you randomly don't. I spent half a day killing guards once, months ago, and got no clues - an hour is nothing. A couple of days later I swiped a guard on my way past Varrock gate and got one I didnt want...

I killed a ton of hellhounds and I got squat, but then I've never had good luck with hell hounds

finally back in the game! send me a message, all my old friends quit

I laughed so hard I pooped my thong. :lol:

That's what i'm talking about, Jagex i think blew "Random" out of proportion, e.g you might kill a guard and get one, or you might kill billions of guard and get nothing

I sometimes had to kill guards for more then an hour too before I got a clue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the answer is no.

When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.

All skills 80+

I killed ~50 hellhounds and used over 6K arrows on Greater Demons until i got one.

 

 

 

Oh, my ace reward: rune long, rune b-axe, 3K, magic longbow and 30 nature runes.

Another thing like Jimmie said, you could be there for AGES and get a clue scroll, don't forget losing lots of health/arrows/runes do the clue scroll, and get a rubbish reward :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although to me what Jimmie got would be a miracle to me, but i suppose people have different opinions about things

I think you're right, I did an entire 150+ Gargoyle task yesterday without a clue :cry:

99 Slayer since August 2007.

It seems like they're harder to get to me. I know you're gonna say they're random and w/e. But trust me, I've obtained A LOT of clue scroll drops. They rarely take me as long to get as every clue I'e gotten since the update.

They seem to be fine for me, I got one on my first kill, then came back and got another on my 3rd kill. I've had 2 since then which took about 30 mins - an hour to get. Try training on something of a higher level. :)

130 blue drags - no clue yet, though the cash I get from the hides/bones is likely to more than the clue reward, so I'm happy either way!

I go down to the hellhounds with a full inv of shark and have allways come out with a clue :)

it seems harder for me =/

IM A RC PKER 4 LIFE

lol 4k men for my lvl 1. And never got a guard clue ever :-k

Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

I'd say no. I've done like 10'ish clues since the update, and gotten them all from jellies. I got each one within one trip (one inv of food), I reckon this is pretty quick, no?

i killed around 7 guards and got a clue scroll but the reward stinks

i dunno , to early to tell

 

 

 

but i did kill several hundred cyclops without getting a single one

Perhaps they should call those skills Robbery, Lumberjack, Arsonist, ect...

At the HellHounds I got two in an hour, but the first I had a full inventory, and didn't pick it up. *sigh*.

I noticed a big difference trying to get clues off abby demons now.

 

 

 

I used to get them fairly easy before. Killed abbys most of the afternoon

 

 

 

today and got nothing. I believe they changed the drop rates . :|

 

 

 

I understand they are random but I notice a big difference in how

 

 

 

often they are dropped now. My opinion only of course.
