RuneScape:Events Team/Strategies/Treasure Trails

EVENT IS OVER

Are you a free-to-player that's never experienced Treasure Trails before? Or an ex-member who misses seeing the loot beam from a clue scroll drop? Or maybe you just want to win some awesome prizes? Then join us for a scavenger hunt with the Wiki community. The entire event is F2P, so anyone is welcome to play!

How to play

• We will hold five (5) rounds of different scavenger hunts.
• Meet up at the starting point (Varrock Square, World 38) a few minutes prior to the starting time and join the Friends Chat "Superiosity" for announcements.
• We will announce the first clue at 21:00 UTC.
• Each clue will lead you to a checkpoint where there will be an event helper. The first person to trade them twice will win small prize.
• The event helper will announce the next clue which will lead you to the next checkpoint etc.
• At the fourth checkpoint, you will be given a password. Go here to use the password and see the final clue.
• The first person to solve the final clue and trade twice with the helper will win a large prize.
• We will wait a little while for participants to finish the round before preparing to start the next one.

Notes

• After a certain amount of time, we will reveal the location of each checkpoint so that stragglers/latecomers can catch up.
• Winners will receive their prizes at the end of each round.
• You can only win a maximum of one prize.
  • If you win more than one prize, you will receive the prize of highest value.
  • If you are ineligible to win a prize, it will go to the next eligible winner (the second person to find the checkpoint, etc.).
