A clue scroll (easy) is a valuable random drop from a large variety of lower-levelled monsters. Clue scrolls are the start of a Treasure Trail - a treasure hunt that sends players hunting all around Gielinor. At the end of the hunt players receive a reward of items randomly selected from a specific list, possibly including very rare and very valuable items. Easy clue scrolls do not feature any coordinate clues, and require nothing to be fought. They also do not take the player into the Wilderness.
Easy clue scrolls can be between 2 and 4 steps long.
Easy clue scrolls are the easiest type of members-only clue to obtain and complete, and offer lower rewards in return. The rewards can range from black equipment to wizard robes (g). A quick way to get easy clue scrolls is by pickpocketing H.A.M. Members in Lumbridge (note: wearing H.A.M. robes does not increase pickpocket success rate, but does decrease the chance of being kicked out of the hideout on pickpocket failure.[1]) Another method is killing thugs in Edgeville Wilderness dungeon while wearing a ring of wealth (i). A less click-intensive method would be to pickpocket Wealthy citizens in Civitas illa Fortis, as pickpocketing will be automatic and guaranteed successful while the citizen is distracted by a street urchin. However, because of the lower drop rate of clues and the time between distractions, the rate of clues will likely be lower than other methods.
Completion of Easy Combat Achievements gives a 5% increased chance to receive an easy clue scroll from all sources, excluding implings.
Completion of easy clues will give another clue or a reward casket (easy), containing the final reward for the trail. After completing 500 easy clues, the player will be awarded a large spade.
An easy clue scroll can be given to Watson along with a medium, hard and elite clue scroll in order to receive a master clue scroll. It is also possible to receive a master clue scroll as a reward for completing the easy scroll, at a 1/50 rate.
Mechanics
Dying with a scroll
As clue scrolls are untradeable, they are sent to the gravestone if unprotected on PvP or PvM death, even above level 20 Wilderness. Clue boxes are not necessary and only add additional risk when in the Wilderness.
Multiple clues
As with all tiers of clue scrolls, only one easy clue scroll can be held, kept in Death's Office, or stored in a bank at one time; attempting to open a scroll box (easy) while holding an easy clue scroll gives the message The clue box refuses to open - you already have a clue. However, it is possible to drop clues on the floor, where they'll stay for one hour, allowing players to have multiple clues at once. Dropping prior clue scrolls while having done some of their steps does NOT retain the steps of the dropped clue when starting a new one.
Casting an alchemy spell
When casting an alchemy spell on a clue scroll, if the game setting that triggers a warning on untradeable items is disabled, a different confirmation warning is triggered, asking "wouldn't you rather solve the clue?". If the game setting is enabled, only the regular question is triggered.
Entrana method
If the player opens an easy clue reward casket on Entrana, rolls for armour and weapons will be removed since they are not allowed on the island. This makes receiving god book pages more likely, and is recommended for faster book completion.[2][3]
Non-shared clue uniques cannot be obtained if opening caskets on Entrana. This may be relevant for ironmen who may wish to obtain Flared trousers (required for a master clue step) and Bob shirts (required for an elite clue step), among others.
Types of clues
Please note that it is possible to receive the same clue more than once.

Trivia
- When talking to Uri, if you do not finish his dialogue (by clicking out after he gives you the next step) he will will not despawn right away. If you happen to get the same step again before he does despawn, you will be able to finish the clue step without needing to perform the emote a second time.
