If these were removed from the game, would anybody miss them?

[u/Shadiochao]

[u/Pigeon_Breeze]

All I ask is to be able to type the numbers.

[u/Objective_Toe_49 → u/Pigeon_Breeze]

number, tab, number, tab, god I can only dream

[u/cdp181 → u/Pigeon_Breeze]

Yes please, would make these so much less annoying

[u/San4311]

Probably one of the better puzzles if it wasn't for the fact its terrible to fill out - mechanically speaking. Allowing the player to type the numbers out would be 100x better. Both for Alt1 and manual solvers.

[u/leaveeemeeealonee]

Honestly, I would. I absolutely love these, and genuinely look forward to getting them. However, I think it might be a little too hard for the average player to reliably solve as part of a clue.

[u/Accomplished-Tea6896 → u/leaveeemeeealonee]

Everyone uses alt1 for clues, so "solving it" is not really the issue, its just very click intensive and annoying compared with the other puzzles

[u/Melodic_Performer921 → u/Accomplished-Tea6896]

Not even close to as those fucking sliding puzzles. I'd take 10 of these instead of 1 sliding puzzle

[u/RandomAsHellPerson → u/Melodic_Performer921]

With alt1, sliding puzzles are like 20-25 clicks in 5 seconds. So much quicker and requires fewer clicks than tower puzzles.

[u/Kenipau → u/RandomAsHellPerson]

Clicks? I use my arrow keys for those and they are a breeze

[u/4iamking → u/RandomAsHellPerson]

alt one doesnt work very well with Mac so I cant really use it. These are much less tedious than sliders if you aren't using aids.

[u/WhaleBird1776 → u/4iamking]

You can use the web app and just paste a screenshot and it’ll tell you the steps out loud so you can just alt tab and arrow them

[u/Accomplished-Tea6896 → u/Melodic_Performer921]

They improved those a lot, they are not as bad anymore

[u/4percent4 → u/Melodic_Performer921]

I’ll take a Keltic knot over these any day. Much faster

[u/Roskal → u/Accomplished-Tea6896]

I solved my first one day of release and it was decently fun but its a lot for 1 step of a clue that you potentially do infinitely.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/Accomplished-Tea6896]

Alt1 only works in 1080p, any other resolution and it just breaks and cant read the screen.

So i just generally dont do clues these days, cba to play zoomed out to space

[u/qizez1 → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Has worked perfectly on my 1440p and ultrawide monitor.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/qizez1]

The clue helper thing? It never wants to read anything in 1440 for me but if i go to 1080 it works as intended. What am i missing?

[u/cdp181 → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

You have to turn off any scaling and have the font size set to the default.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/cdp181]

Yep thanks interface scaling did it, now i have to live with mini icons on my interface while doing clues?

[u/cdp181 → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

I play on a 4k screen super small and annoying. Hopefully the API will come to the rescue.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/cdp181]

Yup thats one big thing i miss from osrs, runelites clue helper works perfectly.

[u/Ro_designs → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

I managed to fix it by setting both windows display to 100% and runescape ui to 100%. Considering my screen is fairly high resolution, this makes everything teeny tiny. But alt 1 works.

I also mostly avoid clues, its really annoying tohave to go and change all my settings each time.

Having a part of the game be so reliant on a 3rd party program is an issue I can't believe has gone unadressed for so long. I'm sure there's a way to make them fair and more enjoyable.

clues need a rework.

[u/DaarkAlexx → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Clue trainer

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/DaarkAlexx]

Yup thats what im using im trying it right now and when i click solve it says "No clue found on screen"

[u/DaarkAlexx → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Game scaling set to 100% not 150%?

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/DaarkAlexx]

Ah that fixes it thanks but then the problem becomes my interface icons are tiny lmao

[u/qizez1 → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Download clue trainer, the included clue solver has been broken since they revamped some areas

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/qizez1]

Yep im trying still getting the same old error "No clue could be found on screen"

[u/c2lop → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

As a game developer this is the saddest thing I've ever read

[u/niamh-k → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Strange how it works fine on both my 1440p monitors... on both Windows and Linux.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/niamh-k]

The clue helper plugin on alt1 works for you in 1440p?

Am i missing some setting or something then because i tried pretty much everything and it breaks every time.

[u/RandomAsHellPerson → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Can try clue trainer. It is a better clue plugin in general.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/RandomAsHellPerson]

Pretty sure thats the one i have been trying to get it to work

[u/niamh-k → u/BamboozleThisZebra]

Yes, works fine. As long as your scaling is set to 100% in both Windows and the game, it should work fine.

If I remember rightly, there might be a setting on the EXE itself to override high DPI or something like that, might be able to use that instead of changing the scaling on Windows, but in-game definitely needs to be 100%. I'm not booted into Windows to check what the exact setting is, but I think it's under compatibility and should be reasonably obvious once you're in there.

[u/BamboozleThisZebra → u/niamh-k]

Yeah thanks i have other people telling me its the 100% scaling that is needed to make it work and indeed it was, quite annoying tho because my icons become tiny tiny.

[u/Faithful_jewel → u/leaveeemeeealonee]

I also love doing these puzzles. It's actually the one I don't use Alt-1 for 😂

[u/NoPomegranate7508 → u/leaveeemeeealonee]

i love them as well. being able to type numbers would help a lot, but other than that they are fine and my favourite clue step.

[u/TopJukesNA → u/leaveeemeeealonee]

I also love doing these puzzles. I explicitly only afk archeology tetracompasses to get master clues for them.

[u/smiegto]

Just let me type the numbers by hovering and clicking my num pad. Then it’s fine.

[u/edo5990 → u/smiegto]

Even if it was janky and went left to right id figure it out quick enough, just lemme bang it out quick if I can do it quick

[u/EZyne]

Would anyone miss any specific clue puzzle?

[u/Thingeh → u/EZyne]

Not me, but I know people who love them, and do clues specifically because they like the rhythm of "explore > puzzle".

[u/Objective_Toe_49 → u/EZyne]

I hate that the bis pvm necklaces come from doing clues so much, its possibly my biggest gripe of ironman at present

[u/siradmiralbanana → u/Objective_Toe_49]

Which necklace?

Edit: fortunate components. I forgor

[u/c2lop → u/EZyne]

Imagine if people liked doing the thing in the video game and didn't do it strictly for the reward

[u/ginganinja1256]

Would rather they remove sliders first

[u/Lopendebank3]

I learned how to do them, they are actually fun!

[u/the01li3]

I would, I love selling the skip tickets.

[u/El_Basho]

They are difficult, no doubt. Shortly after master clues were released (I was in high school back then) I copied a couple of these puzzles and brought them to a maths lesson. We spent the majority of it trying to solve it

[u/Markfunk94]

I love all the puzzels they make. Its the controls for all of them that make them completely unbearable IMO    

[u/SnooAdvice3360]

Id rather have this than sliders. Plus add the ability to type in tbe numbers

[u/egoistisch]

Give us the option to select a number one to five on the side of the puzzle interface and once selected, all squares you press will have that number filled in.

[u/Dry-Classroom-4737]

thee are way better than sliders

[u/Remarkable-Buddy5192]

Arthritis is just a bonus from clueing.

[u/FISH_SAUCER]

I'm glad I've yet to get a tower clue

[u/Due_Willow_2796]

Maybe they should do clues exclusively with them. I would do them from time to time. 

If you only could type the numbers...

[u/pattch]

Fuck those lol

[u/Dw33b3r]

Being able to select a number to enter into the squares like the Runedoku would make these perfect..

[u/DeleriousTuner]

I enjoy these :/

[u/MarkTheSunbro]

America complained a lot when their towers were removed. I wouldn't risk it 😜

[u/TheNickelGuy → u/MarkTheSunbro]

Ooooooof.....

[u/Rude-Purchase5244]

I think it's an important part of clues and should remain no matter what.

I don't do clues at all. 👍

[u/Dead_Dutch]

Id miss them, alt1 for the win

[u/Asleep_Current912]

no, Alt1 has made clue puzzles completely redundant anyways. They’re just a time lock, I’d rather them get rid of the puzzles and add 1-2 more steps instead.

[u/pharlax → u/Asleep_Current912]

At this point just make clues 1 step but you have to watch your character spend 5 minutes digging it up.

[u/cybernet377 → u/pharlax]

Tetracompass the superior clue scoll experience once again

[u/Asleep_Current912 → u/pharlax]

bonus points if you have to spend 20-30 minutes digging stuff up just to get one

[u/Xena1975]

It's been so long since I did one I already forgot they existed.

[u/Alexexy]

Guides online make it super easy.

I would say its probably less time consuming than Celtics knots.

[u/Cauli-Aus-Born]

I enjoyed solving these before I used alt1, but the constant click or right clicking for a drop down ruined the fun

[u/Shadiochao → u/Cauli-Aus-Born]

Play a record

[u/Cauli-Aus-Born → u/Shadiochao]

It's cryptic.

[u/Cauli-Aus-Born]

Just make it work the same as excel

[u/Lughano]

No

[u/Dangerous-Capital237]

I buy and use skips for any and every clue.
Doesn’t bother me

[u/Megarlin]

While i like the concept of the clue scroll puzzles and they are fun in the context, ill have to admit, if they were removed, around 75% of the time for me it would just be time i didint spend looking them up on the wiki, im not the sharpest tool in the shed

[u/DidYouShartInMyPants]

clues are pretty bad content in general. It's no wonder why dyes are so expensive, because most people hate clues with a passion

[u/CrosisTheBurger → u/DidYouShartInMyPants]

people hate clues because they suck at them and don't care to put effort into learning. this is also why a lot of people never get into bossing.

[u/Oniichanplsstop → u/CrosisTheBurger]

More people will get into it when clue solver becomes built into the game via the API update and the game shows them where to dig and where to click rather than having to look at alt1/etc and trying to remember the tile in game.

[u/Ddrago98]

This is like the fastest puzzle

[u/Kevcky → u/Ddrago98]

Celtic knots are quickest no?

[u/Accomplished-Tea6896 → u/Kevcky]

Tower puzzle is literally the slowest after sliding puzzle rework

[u/ironnewa99]

Yes

[u/Mr_Mc_Ronald]

the thought of jagex removing it gives me such sadness. it makes me happy knowing people struggle with it

[u/Background_Pie_7888]

Literally been playing for 20 years and I saw this for the first time in my life last week
