Master clue scroll is an item topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2019-08-14. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Requirements

  • Master clues require various skills and several unlocked items: the Lumberjack outfit, prospector's kit, angler's outfit, full graceful, a fire cape, a fighter torso, infernal axe and Barrows gloves.1
  • Master clues require 100% Arceuus favour, 75% Hosidius favour, 100% Piscarilius favour, 100% Shayzien favour, and a huge variety of quests up to and including Song of the Elves.2

Stats and numbers

  • Master clue scrolls are six to eight step clues that drop the bloodhound pet at a 1 in 5000 rate, which Gnomonkey says makes it one of, if not the rarest, pets in the game.2
  • After completing a master clue there is a reasonable 1 in 15 chance to fight the mimic, which is required for the music cape.3
  • Master clues give around 200k to 500k per clue in regular drops alone; all six of the 3rd age items in the set are worth over 300 million, with the 3rd age pickaxe at 1.1 billion at the time.3

Tips

  • Gnomonkey's master clue gear tab has basic void ranged gear, desert amulet 4 for regen and banking, quest point cape for fairy rings, Kandarin headgear 4 for teleports to Sherlock, and a music cape for teleporting to Falador (which he cannot use until he finds a mimic).4
  • He also brings a full set of basic runes for teleports, five sharks, and a ranging potion; a crafting cape is very smart to bring if available.4
  • Gnomonkey used RuneLite to create a tab for items Watson may want and does not keep an Armadyl helmet in the bank since it would only be used for clues; tabs can be imported from codes in the pinned comments via the import tag button.5
  • Gnomonkey does not explain how to solve the clues because RuneLite does that for the most part.6
  • When a master clue requires buying items like an Armadyl helmet or dragon chainbody, Gnomonkey advises taking the chance for a profitable flip if planning to sell right after, since there is no point rushing if the loss on selling matches the clue's gain.7
