Notes
FAQ
- How do I use this clue helper?
- Paste the anagram or cipher text from the scroll. Letter order can be messy on anagrams. The match is the NPC to talk to, plus any challenge-scroll number, puzzle box, or light box.
- Are sextant, watch, and chart still required?
- No. Coordinate clues have not needed those items since June 2014. Bring a spade. Hard coordinates can spawn a wizard; elite and master can spawn a double agent.
- Why are most cryptics and emotes missing?
- There are hundreds of unique cryptic, emote, map, and coordinate steps. This tool stores the full wiki anagram and cipher lists (those are closed sets) and beginner cryptics. Easy–Master riddles belong on the wiki guides rather than a half-filled fake table.
- Where do I simulate casket loot?
- Use the clue casket simulator on this site. It rolls beginner through master using wiki drop weights instead of made-up GP ranges.
