RS3 Leagues Clue Scrolls Guide | How to Get Clue Scrolls
Written by Andrew Hammel
Clue scrolls are a massive part of RuneScape 3, and in Catalyst League the Clue Connoisseur relic (Tier 4) makes them even stronger. With doubled clue scroll rates and infinite Globetrotter outfit charges, farming clues is faster and more rewarding than in the main game. The challenge is knowing the best methods per clue tier, especially while leveling early on.
Best Ways to Farm Clue Scrolls in RS3 Leagues
Easy Clues
The classic method is still the best here. Pickpocketing HAM members gives easy scrolls at a steady rate. With boosted Thieving in Leagues, you’ll pull them quickly and with almost no fails. This is ideal for low combat players.
Medium Clues
Killing guards is the go-to method. They’re easy to find, low risk, and they drop medium clues frequently. If you have access to higher Slayer, you can also target creatures like ice warriors or ogres, but guards remain the simplest farming option.
Hard Clues
Hellhounds are the standout pick. In Leagues, players report 70–80% drop rates which makes them far more efficient than in the main game. You can camp them for hours and stack hard scrolls with combat XP. Other Slayer monsters also drop hards, but hellhounds are unmatched for efficiency.
Elite Clues
Shadow creatures in the Heart of Gielinor and abyssal beasts at higher Slayer levels both drop elite scrolls well. If you’re still early, skeletal horror gives one elite per week, which stacks nicely with other methods. Once stronger, these monsters become the reliable grind.
AFK Options
If you want semi-passive farming, AFKing Iorwerth elves works extremely well for both hard and elite scrolls. With Tier 2 Thieving, players have reported 40 hard and 20 elite clues per hour. This works best once you’re mid-game with higher stats.
League Tips for Getting Clue Scrolls in Catalyst League
The Clue Connoisseur relic doubles sealed clue chances, making every method more efficient. You’ll also never run out of outfit charges, so farming feels smooth. If you also picked Production Master, you’ll get even more clues while skilling since Seren spirits and blessings spawn constantly.
The best strategy is to focus on easy and medium scrolls early, then shift into hard and elite farming once your combat stats and Slayer unlocks catch up. Remember that clues don’t stack beyond tier limits, so complete scrolls regularly to avoid wasting drops.
Final Blurb
Farming clue scrolls in RS3 Leagues is far more rewarding than in the main game thanks to relic boosts. Start with HAM members and guards, then move to hellhounds and shadow creatures as you progress. With relic passives active, you’ll be swimming in clues before long.
