Stackable Clues Are Finally Here! Plus Duke QoL, Boss Drop Buffs & More!

Q: How do I start getting stackable clues?

Hey! To get started, you just need to complete the quest X Marks the Spot. Once that's done, all your regular clue scroll drops will automatically be replaced with new, stackable Scroll Boxes of the same tier. If you haven't done the quest, you'll still get the classic, non-stackable clue scrolls.

Q: What's the maximum number of clues I can stack, and how do I increase it?

You start with a default cap of 2 clues per tier. You can increase this up to a maximum of 5 per tier. There are two ways to do this: Scroll Cases: You get these as rewards for hitting certain clue completion milestones for each tier. Just consume the case to permanently increase that tier's cap by +1. Mimic Scroll Case: Defeating the Mimic boss (from Master caskets) gives you a special case that increases your cap by +1 for all tiers at once!

Q: I've already done thousands of clues! Do I get my cap increases retroactively?

Yes, you do! The system is fully retroactive. If you've already passed the completion milestones or defeated the Mimic before this update, your clue capacity will be automatically increased when you log in. The corresponding Scroll Cases will also be marked off in your Collection Log. No progress is lost!

Q: What happens if I get a clue drop when I'm already at my stack limit?

You'll get the classic "You have a sneaking suspicion..." message in your chatbox, meaning you missed out on the drop. The good news is, to prevent this, the game now gives you a warning if you try to open an Impling Jar while you're at your clue cap for a specific tier, which is a nice touch!

It's the update we've all been waiting for! Stackable Clue Scrolls are now in OSRS. Learn about Scroll Boxes, how to increase your cap to 5, and check out other huge QoL like Duke improvements and buffed boss key drop rates!

Stackable Clues Are Here! The OSRS Update We've All Waited For!

This is not a drill, Scapers! The day has finally come. Jagex has just released one of the most requested updates in Old School history: Stackable Clue Scrolls! No more banking mid-slayer task, no more missing out on clue drops because you forgot one in the bank. This update is a game-changer for treasure hunters everywhere, and it's packed with a ton of other fantastic QoL improvements. Let's dig in!

Stackable Clues: The Dream Is Real

The centerpiece of this update is the new Scroll Box system, revolutionizing how we collect and complete clues.

How It Works: Scroll Boxes & Stack Limits

Unlocking the System: Once you've completed the X Marks the Spot quest, all traditional Clue Scroll drops will be replaced by new Scroll Boxes.
Stack 'Em Up: These boxes stack neatly in your inventory and bank, allowing you to hold multiple clues of the same tier at once!
The Catch (There's Always a Catch): You start with a default stack limit of 2 clues per tier. If you get a drop while at your cap, you'll see the dreaded "sneaking suspicion" message and miss out.

Raising Your Cap: Scroll Cases & The Mimic

Want to hoard more clues? You can increase your stack limit from 2 all the way up to 5 per tier!

Scroll Cases: These are new, consumable items you'll receive in your clue caskets after hitting certain completion milestones. There are Minor and Major cases, and consuming one permanently increases the cap for that specific clue tier by +1.
The Mimic: Defeating the Mimic boss from a Master casket now grants a Mimic Scroll Case, which boosts your clue capacity by +1 across ALL tiers!

Here are the completion counts needed for the regular Scroll Cases:

Tier	Completions for Minor Case (+1)	Completions for Major Case (+1)
Beginner	50	100
Easy	100	200
Medium	100	250
Hard	50	150
Elite	50	150
Master	25	75

Best of all, this is retroactive! If you've already met these requirements, your cap will be increased on login. You can track your progress on Watson's Treasure Trails board in his house.

Huge PvM & Skilling Quality of Life Changes

This update wasn't just about clues. We got a massive batch of other awesome improvements!

Bossing & Monster Hunting Upgrades

Duke Sucellus Smoothed Out: Feeding the Duke is way less frustrating! You can't accidentally use more than two potions at once, the potions and mushrooms are now stackable (!!), and you can left-click to feed him ground mushrooms. Huge inventory savers! Check out our updated Duke Guide for more info.
Obor & Bryophyta Buffs: The Giant and Mossy Keys are now twice as common, dropping at a 1/16 rate instead of 1/32. Plus, you can one-shot Bryophyta's Growthlings with an axe or Magic Secateurs equipped. Time to farm those uniques!
TzHaar Weakness: TzHaar creatures now have a 40% weakness to water spells. Time to dust off those water spells for the Fight Caves!
Kephri Room Tweak: Your Thralls will no longer count towards the Arcane Scarab's hit count, preventing it from moving unnecessarily.

Other Welcome Changes

Soul Wars Nerf: The GP value per Spoils of War crate has been "significantly reduced." The pet rate is unchanged, so the grind for Lil Creator is the same.
Steel Ring Buff: This forgotten ring now has a +24 Crush Defence bonus, making it a solid, well-rounded defensive option.
Monster Inspect Cheaper: The spell now uses Body and Mind runes instead of the more expensive Cosmic runes.
Plenty of typo fixes, grammar corrections, and small visual tweaks to make the game smoother.

PvP World Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period B. If you're a PvP enthusiast, check the official newspost for the specific world numbers for PvP, Bounty Hunter, and LMS.

This is a monumental update that touches one of the most beloved activities in the game. Get out there, complete X Marks the Spot if you haven't, and start stacking those caskets!
