Cant find a NPC

[rwelch]

Anybody else get one yet. I got one from a guard. I got an addy long and a couple runes :(.

[rwelch]

My clues were: (I dont remember the exact wording but they are close)

In a town where mages hang out search the mansion to the north.

The house just north of the Magic Guild in Yanille. Kill the man on the lower floor, he will drop a key the lets you open the chest upstairs.

--------------------

In a town with guards armed with maces search the upstairs room of the public house

The town is ardoughe, go to the house just above the paladin castle. In the building where you start the temple of ikov quest (npc named lucien) go upstairs and try to open the drawers, It said drawers are locked and beware of dog. Go to the mansion next to the north bank in ardoughe and kill a guard dog, it will drop a key that opens the drawers.

-----------------------------------------

I got coordinates for the next clue...

Go to the observatory and talk to the professor. He will tell you to get a sextant (which you cannot type in rs because of the sex part comes up ***tant) and a watch. You get the sextant from port khazard talk to the guy on the docks. You get the watch from the clock tower by talking to the guy on the first floor. Take them back to the professor at the observatory and he teaches you how to use them and gives you a navigating map. To navigate you look thru the sextant and line up the horizon and the sun in the center of the viewer and it will give you the coordinates of where you are at. At that point I just started teleporting around to try to get close to my coordinates (ended up being above the jail east of draynor village for me). You will need a spade (theres one in the draynor mansion) to dig at the right coordinates. You find a treasure chest and mine had another clue.

-----------------------------------

It was an anagram - EL OW

Go talk to LOEW in the archery store in Varrock. got another clue from him.

-----------------------------------

Another anagram - EEK ZERO OP

Go talk to the ZOOKEEPER in Ardoughe. He told me he needed help before he would give me anything. Additional clue.

---------------------------------

How many animals are in the Zoo. Talk to the zookeeper again, the answer is 32.

--------------------------

Found the Treasure. 10 death runes, some earth and fire runes and a addy long sword.

[xxskullxx]

The one I got yesterday from a guard was coords...
then coords
then coords

---------------------------

Then the anagram:
ARE COL
Talk to the ORACLE on ice mountain by the dwarven mines entrance

---------------------------

Then about 3 more coords


Finally, I got adam legs (p), adam battleaxe, and 11 lobbies.

I'd much rather had more anagrams, etc than coords....takes a bit to use sextant sometimes. :(

[Acathla]

Ill take the addy long rwelch if you've still got it!! :D

Name your price, my username is Hyishimu

[rwelch]

sry...I already high alched it.

[Zephyr]

I have yet to find a clue... oh well. I saw someone walking around in full (g) black. Looked fairly spiffy.

[shay]

I got this one from a guard, the clues were:

This anigram reveals who to speak to next:
EL OW
-(Lowe, Archery shop in Varrock)

01 degrees 35 minutes south
07 degrees 28 minutes east
-(these coordinates send you to the little islands east of the Wizards Guild, they are connected by bridges. Go to the north eastern most spot you can get to on the eastern most island and dig.)

In a town where the guards are armed with maces search the upstairs rooms of the Public House.
(thanks rwelch :) )The town is ardoughe, go to the house just above the paladin castle. In the building where you start the temple of ikov quest (npc named lucien) go upstairs and try to open the drawers, It said drawers are locked and beware of dog.

EEK ZERO OP
-(Zoo Keeper) He will give you a challenge scroll. It asks the number of animals in the zoo (32)

This anigram reveals who to speak to next:
ARE COL (oracle) he will give you a challenge scroll. It says:
If x is 15 and y is 3
What is 3x + y? (48)


I ended up getting a regular adam plate, 10 swordfish, and an adam battleaxe

[Ivanr77]

lol an algebra question...at least they incorporate education into the game now...probably to many phone calls from angry mothers..

I've heard a tad about these treasure trails...and some of the rewards they give off...anyone have any screens of the new armours/items? id really like to see them.

[duds411]

@ Ivan: LOL
i would also like to see the armors

[shay]

I don't have a pic of them on a character, but I have an inventory pic of the adam legs xxskullxx got as a reward for his treasure trail.

Just to show the difference, normal adam legs are first, the new adam legs are second. I resized the pics to make them easier to see.

[duds411]

looks tight man

Just a few notes on getting/using the sextant, watch, and chart...


Some Treasure Trails give you coordinates of a certain place you must go to, usually to dig. To be able to figure out where to go you need a sextant, watch and chart...

First, talk to Observatory Professor (south west of the Khazard side of the Battle Field).

Ask him for help with the Treasure Trail.
"That clue has a location that you need to go to. You will need to learn how to work out your current location so that you can find your way to the right place."

Ask: How do I work out where I am?
"Navigators use a sextant, watch and chart. Once you have the sextant and a watch I will give you the chart and show you how to use them."

Ask: Where do I find a sextant?
"Mariners are always good navigators so perhaps a Mariner would have one."

Ask: Who would have a watch?
"The nearest Clock Tower is south of Ardougne, someone there might have one."

Go to the docks of Port Khazard (west of the Fight Arena, where the Fishing Trawler is), talk to Murphy. He will give you a sextant. Next go to the Clock Tower (south west of the Ardougne Zoo), talk to Brother Kojo. He will give you a watch.

Once you have a sextant and a watch go and talk to the Observatory Professor again. He will say: "You use the sextant to measure the angle that the sun is currently at. You need the watch so that you know what the time is back here at the observatory." and then "You then need this chart to work out your position. Your position is recorded in terms of latitude and longitude. Latitude is your position above the equator and longitude is your position relative to here." He will give you a chart. Then he will say: "So if you have your sextant, watch and chart with you then you can work out exactly where you are!"

Figuring out the coordinants can be tough. First, click on the sextant. You must use the arrows to line up the sun and the horizon in the center of the circle on the right side of the screen. The left and right arrows move the sun. The up and down arrows move the horizon. Once they are in the middle, click 'Get Location'. You will get a message telling you your location. Since it does not stay as a normal message, it may be a good idea to make a note somewhere of the coordinates on the clue scroll so you do not have to keep reading it again while trying to find out where you need to be.

Once you are in the right spot, use a spade to dig.

I have some map clues that I will post later.

[mustang]

I'm stuck on a clue I got from a guard.

It directed me to the zookeeper (eek zero op) and he gave me another clue, which went something like this,
"In the town where thieves steal from stalls, search for some drawers in the upstairs of a house near the bank"

I've found the abovementioned drawers (in the unlocked house directly south of the north bank. The drawers are locked, but scratched in to the top were the words, "It's a guard's life"

The next guard I killed had a key, with the description "A key to some drawers"
In the drawer was a clue, and I knew I'd struggle with this one!!

"Speak to eek zero op"

Now I need a sextant, map and watch.

//Edit, the story continues ;)

After getting the items and learning how to navigate, I was directed to the spot near the ice cave opening, where I dug and got a chest. In that chest was...

Another clue, which led me to 04 degrees, 13 minutes North, and 12 Degrees, 45 minutes east. This is a spot on Crandor Isle which is hard to explain...I'll let Shay describe it ;)

I finally found what I was after! I got 2 addy daggers, green chaps and 17 chaos runes lol

[Leroy]

If you need the 3 different items, look at shay's post above (post #12). It's a whole post showing how to get the sextant, map, and watch.

[shay]

Here's a few more clues.

Search the crates in the NW most house in Al Kharid.
- the house near the Gem Trader, with a range inside.

Search the chest in the left hand tower of Camelot Castle.

Speak to Hans to solve the clue.
- he is near the castle in Lumbridge.

Search the drawers upstairs in Falador's Shield Shop.

Speak to Doric who lives North of Falador.

Talk to the bartender of the Rusty Anchor in Port Sarim.


And a few treasure trail maps. Keep in mind that these can be tricky to describe the exact location, but they should get you to the general area...

- Treasure map 1: go to Draynor Village. South of the bank there is a rock. Stand on the west side of the rock, go 2 paces west, 4 paces south, 3 paces east, and then 3 paces south. You will end up 1 space north of the western most set of stones, dig there.

- Treasure map 2: go to the west side of the Champions guild, there will be a tree. Dig 2 spaces west from the tree.

- Treasure map 3: go towards the north eastern corner of Falador, on the outside of the wall surrounding the city (towards the Barbarian Village). Dig
where the x is on the map.

mustang, I'll get the directions for ya the next time I log in with a bit of time :)

[Wayne]

Question: are these Treasure Trails members only? Seems that a lot of the stuff you do is in that part of rs.

[Zephyr]

Yup. Members only. Just another good reason to get members...

[mustang]

Ok, just had another map co-ordinate...it was 1 degree 26 minutes North, 8 Degrees 1 minute East...it ended up being on the Island west of brimhaven...there's a swingrope to get on to the island, and giants live on it. The dig spot was on the top of the hill.

I think they were the co-ordinates...if not they're pretty close.

[Zephyr]

I got my first clue!!
It was a sextant... and it started with:
02 degrees, 50 minutes North
06 degrees, 20 minutes East.
Shay posted this one before, and it ended up at the same spot.
Then, it went to another sextant.
It was:
06 Degrees North, 31 minutes
01 Degrees West, 49 minutes.
This one, ended up a little southwest of the gnome stronghold, by 3 small ponds. Its on the eastern side, just line yourself up inbetween the two lakes, and come out to their ends.
Then, I got a word clue. OC OK... Cook. The cook in lumby.
He gave me a challenge scroll. How many cannons does Lumbridge Castle have? 9.

Reward: Addy long, 99 earth runes, yew short. Bahhhhh...
