18-Jul-2011 - Cryptic Clue Fest 3

The strange activity of the stone portal in the Clan Camp has been the subject of much debate and conjecture for many sages and scholars across Gielinor. The most vocal and passionate of these learned individuals is Avalani.

Avalani has been researching the mysterious stone portal with great interest and has begun to piece together some information about the structure. While she was working on the portal, a mysterious stranger delivered a strange stone tablet. Unfortunately for Avalani, the tablet appears to be some sort of cryptic clue. Never being proficient at solving such puzzles herself, she has decided to put out a call for any who have the mental dexterity to tackle some confusing conundrums, as well as a little test to make sure they are up for the task.

The Cryptic Clue Fest is back, but with a clan twist! We wanted to bring some focus to Avalani’s studies at the Clan Camp. We know you love clue fests, so we’ve taken your feedback from last year and used it to make an even more delightfully teasing story for you to enjoy. This time around, Avalani’s studies will take 7 days and 6 gruelling clues must be solved in order to understand the mystery of the stone portal.

Like last year, new clues will be posted each day and you will need to solve them to find out who to talk to and what key items they want you to bring. To start this Cryptic Clue Fest, head over to Avalani’s thread, posted as a call to sleuths across Gielinor.

Mod Kathy & Mod Timbo


Ah. The son of a ***** mods that deleted me from Clan Leader rank with Jagex are hosting the clue fest this year.

Wondering what item we will get for the 3rd year of this event thing. But I'll check YouTube for a guide for all the steps needed to complete this so I get mine in an hour and not after days at it. ^_^

1st year was the cornecopia. 2nd year was magnifying glass and full robe.

Cryptic Clue Fest 3

Day 1: Bring 5 cabbages, 4 onions, 3 cowhides to Avalani at clan camp portal.
Day 2: Bring 2 bread, 5 anchovies, 1 garlic to Murky Matt (runes) at Grand Exchange south east edge.
Day 3: Bring 7 water runes, 4 fire runes, 6 body runes to Wizard Mizgog at the top of Wizards' Tower south of Draynor Village.
Day 4: Bring 3 ropes, 4 leather gloves, 4 logs, 2 mind runes to the Gem trader in Al Kharid.
Day 5: Bring 14 air runes, 2 iron pickaxes, 3 beer glasses, 7 knives to Barnabus Hurma in the Varrock Museum.
Day 6: Bring 1 wooden shield, 6 bronze swords, 2 goblin mails to Sir Vyvin in Falador Castle.**

**Goblin Mail doesn't sell for 10000 on Grand Exchange. You have to visit Goblin Village for these. Search the crate on the 1st floor up ladder at entrance for the first. Search crate behind north-most house in Goblin Village for the second.

Reward: Avalani's robe set. Rock fragment that summons chicken NPC.

If you missed Clue Fest 1 or 2 you can speak to Roddeck in Lumbridge and Diango in Draynor Village to pick up those rewards as well. I'm not sure the use doing the event on the said deadline since we can get ALL rewards quicker in one go if we simply wait a year later. They aren't rare items based upon a particular holiday or year.

I regrettably won't be able to host the help cc that I previously held during the first two CCF. It was fun, and helped out a crap load of people learn to think, but real life events prevent me from doing so.

Hopefully we will recieve something this year worthy of adding to existing outfits ;)

Hopefully it's something worthy of being a rare holiday event item. I'm still sad to hear this year's RuneFest is changed to only people that attend get the code to unlock the in-game item rather than last year's that code Jagex e-mailed everyone that purchased the ticket and wasn't lucky enough to be born in London to attend.

That means this year's item will be even rarer and you will be lucky to see even 1 RuneFest Helmet worn by a player. *I'm so upset and jealous already, all at the same time.*

Sam: Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I made a simpler listing of the NPC and items required for each step of this fest. So have we got 6 or 7 in total? I was reading the end of that Wiki and it claims there's actually 7 because the first day counted as a test clue?

The RS News got renamed to 22-Jul instead of the true news post 18-Jul. Strange...

Thanks for this. Helps finalize the coverage. ;) I like how it's limited to player not area when you spawn your limit 1 chicken. So everyone can spam it at once and every player's chicken appears. Unlike the dang crap when you're playing Call of Duty Black Ops multiplayer and it tells you "Air space is full. UAV unavailable."
