Everything you need to run clues on SpawnPvP — the four active tiers, every way to get a scroll, every step you can be given and how to solve it, and how RuneLite’s Clue Scroll plugin still helps on the cryptic digs.
The four clue scrolls
SpawnPvP runs four clue tiers. Each one has its own scroll, its own casket, and its own trail length. You can hold one Easy, one Medium, one Hard, and one Elite at the same time. Scrolls are untradeable. Destroying a scroll only resets that difficulty — the others stay.
Easy
- Steps per clue
- 2
- Step types
- Dig only
- Extra casket
- 1 in 50
- Drop weight
- 50%
Medium
- Steps per clue
- 3 – 4
- Step types
- Digs + wilderness kills
- Extra casket
- 1 in 40
- Drop weight
- 30%
Hard
- Steps per clue
- 6 – 8
- Step types
- Digs, kills, black chins
- Extra casket
- 1 in 30
- Drop weight
- 15%
Elite
- Steps per clue
- 5 – 10
- Step types
- Digs + wilderness bosses
- Extra casket
- 1 in 25
- Drop weight
- 5%
Elite can be shorter than Hard. It pays for that with the best casket and a better extra-casket chance. The length of a trail is rolled when the server assigns it — Easy is always two digs.
How to get clue scrolls
Scrolls drop from NPC kills and from Safe PvP kills. Tougher NPCs drop them more often. When a scroll would drop, the server picks a difficulty you do not already own.
↔ On a narrow screen, drag the table sideways to see every column.
| Source | What you get | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| NPC kill Chance scales with NPC hitpoints, then is floored at 1 in 80 |
Easy, Medium, Hard or Elite — whichever tier you do not already hold | About 1 in (300 − HP × 0.72). Ring of wealth 1.04×, imbued ring 1.11× |
| Safe PvP kill | Same four-tier roll, skipping a difficulty you already own | 1 in 20 per kill |
The difficulty roll itself is weighted: Easy 50%, Medium 30%, Hard 15%, Elite 5%. If you already have that tier, it walks to the next unused one. If you already have all four, you get nothing until you finish or destroy one.
Running a clue, step by step
-
Read the scroll
Click the clue scroll in your inventory. The clue interface opens and shows your current step. A trail is assigned the first time that tier needs progress.
-
Solve the step
Easy is always a cryptic dig. Medium, Hard and Elite mix those same digs with wilderness kill and hunter steps. The scroll must stay in your inventory for a combat or catch step to count — a banked scroll does not.
-
Check remaining steps
Right-click and choose check steps. Chat prints something like Easy clue: 1 of 2 steps remaining plus the current task.
-
Collect the casket
The last step deletes that scroll and gives you the matching casket. There is then one extra roll for a second casket of the same or lower release — never higher, never more than two. If inventory is full the extra drops under you.
Carry a spade
A spade is what performs a dig. Digs have a six-tile margin, so you do not need to stand on the exact coordinate — close is enough. Easy trails never ask you to kill anything.
Every dig cryptic
All four tiers draw from the same pool of fifteen classic OSRS cryptics. Learn these once and you have learned the dig half of SpawnPvP clues. These are the same riddle texts the RuneLite Clue Scroll plugin already knows.
↔ On a narrow screen, drag the table sideways to see every column.
| Clue text | Where to dig | Tile |
|---|---|---|
| “Aggie I see / Lonely and southern I feel…” | Draynor, by Aggie’s house | 3085, 3256 |
| “After trawling for bars, go to the nearest place to smith them…” | Port Khazard smithy door | 2656, 3161 |
| “I have no beginning or end… Go to the place where money they lend.” | Varrock dungeon, by the gate | 3192, 9825 |
| “If you didn’t want to be here and in danger, you should lever things well enough alone.” | Wilderness lever | 3153, 3923 |
| “While a sea view is nice, it seems this church has not seen visitors…” | Rimmington church window | 2993, 3177 |
| “As you desert this town, keep an eye out for a set of spines…” | Nardah greenery | 3397, 2915 |
| “Brush off the sand and then dig in the quarry.” | Desert quarry | 3178, 2917 |
| “By the town of the dead, walk south down a rickety bridge…” | Phasmatys slime tree | 3647, 3497 |
| “Come to the evil ledge. Yew know yew want to.” | Edgeville yews | 3088, 3469 |
| “Covered in shadows, the centre of the circle is where you will find the answer.” | Mort’ton shade circle | 3489, 3288 |
| “Dig here if you are not feeling too well after travelling through the desert.” | Pollnivneach | 3359, 2972 |
| “Dig near some giant mushrooms behind the Grand Tree.” | Gnome Stronghold | 2460, 3505 |
| “I lie lonely and forgotten in mid wilderness, where the dead rise…” | Wilderness graveyard | 3174, 3664 |
| “Mine was the strangest birth under the sun. I left the crimson sack…” | Karamja dungeon | 2832, 9586 |
| “My giant guardians below the market streets… Dig near my purple smoke!” | Varrock sewers | 3161, 9904 |
Combat and hunter steps
These are SpawnPvP-custom steps. The RuneLite plugin does not solve them — use this table. A kill or catch only counts if that difficulty’s scroll is in your inventory.
↔ On a narrow screen, drag the table sideways to see every column.
| Step | Minimum tier |
|---|---|
| Kill a Revenant | Medium |
| Kill an elder chaos druid | Medium |
| Kill a scorpion (not Scorpia) | Medium |
| Kill a green dragon | Medium |
| Kill a Revenant dragon | Hard |
| Kill a Revenant ork | Hard |
| Kill a demonic gorilla | Hard |
| Catch a black chinchompa | Hard |
| Kill a lava dragon | Hard |
| Kill Crazy Archaeologist | Elite |
| Kill Venenatis | Elite |
| Kill Chaos Fanatic | Elite |
| Kill Callisto | Elite |
| Kill Scorpia | Elite |
Medium, Hard and Elite trails always include at least one dig. Bring the scroll with you into the wild.
RuneLite Clue Scroll plugin
SpawnPvP RuneLite still ships the stock Clue Scroll plugin. Turn it on. For SpawnPvP it is most useful on the fifteen cryptics above — those riddles are the same texts the plugin already maps.
- Cryptics — shows who to talk to or where to dig, plus a hint arrow.
- Coordinates, maps, fairy rings — world-map markers if a classic OSRS step ever appears.
- Anagrams, ciphers, emotes, challenge scrolls — answers and NPC locations.
- Hot/Cold — walks you through the temperature loop.
- Puzzle Solver — a separate plugin that clicks puzzle boxes for you.
What the plugin will not do
It does not know SpawnPvP’s wilderness kill list, black chinchompas, or the extra-casket roll. If the interface says “Kill a Revenant” or “Catch a black chinchompa”, this page is the source of truth — not the overlay.
Casket rewards
Opening a casket increments your clue-scroll completion count — finishing a step does not. Each open rolls:
- 1 in 5 — a stack of the server’s main currency (100–2,000 gp, or 100,000–1,500,000 on iron accounts).
- 1 in 15 — a decorative / treasure-trail item from that casket’s normal table, with a further 1 in 5 chance at a second normal item.
- 1 in 200 — a rare (3rd age, ring of nature, and similar). If the rare table misses, you still get one more normal item.
Caskets are tradeable. Scrolls are not. Bloodhound from the normal tables is unique and untradeable — if you already own it, the server rerolls.
Extra casket, if it hits
| Finished tier | Second casket |
|---|---|
| Easy | Always another Easy (1st-release) casket |
| Medium | 70% Medium, otherwise Easy |
| Hard | 60% Hard, 25% Medium, 15% Easy |
| Elite | 50% Elite, 25% Hard, 15% Medium, 10% Easy |
Every number on this page comes from the live SpawnPvP clue code — ClueDifficulty and ClueScroll — not from a guessed OSRS wiki table.
