Clue Scrolls

Clue scrolls are rare finds while mining: a to-do list of challenges around the server that pays out a Clue Casket when you finish everything on it. The higher your level, the higher the tier of scroll you find, and the better the casket at the end.

Finding a scroll

Scrolls drop rarely while you mine. The tier of scroll you find tracks your mining level:

Higher-tier scrolls are rarer finds than lower-tier ones. A fresh scroll arrives as a stackable "mystery" item. Its tasks aren't revealed yet.

Activating and completing

Right-click the scroll to activate it. It rolls 3 to 7 tasks (lower tiers keep the list short, top tiers roll the longest lists), and becomes a unique item that tracks your progress in its description.

Tasks span the whole game. A sampling of what you might be asked to do:

• Mining: mine ores, earn Ancient Energy from mining, break meteor or meteorite blocks
• Opening: open shards or contraband of a given tier, open KOTH loot bags
• Combat: deal damage to or kill players, Shades, Wraiths, Erebus Guards, or altar bosses. Boss damage tasks ask for 2,000 to 12,000 damage.
• Economy: buy or list on the Auction House, spend in the shop, pay or trade with other players
• Enchanting & gear: use Enchant Dust, Calcified Dust or Enchant Rerolls in the Wormhole; apply trims, Black Scrolls, or Orbs of Moros
• Pickaxe & more: prestige your pickaxe, use reroll and respec tokens, activate boosters, spend AFK points, mine G-Kit flare blocks, claim forge energy

Want to try one early? Midas, the economy guide at spawn, includes a Simple Clue Scroll in his first gift.

Progress only counts while the activated scroll is in your inventory. Each completed task gets its own little celebration, and when the final task ticks over, the scroll transforms into a Clue Casket of the same tier right in your inventory.

Ores broken by Fracture and Fault Line count as blocks you mined, so they feed both the clue scroll drop roll and any "mine N ore" task on an active scroll.

Retired tasks

When a feature leaves the game its task leaves with it. A scroll you're already carrying that still lists a retired task (Stay in LMS, Slay Caravans or Spend Enchant Eraser charges) drops that task automatically, so an old scroll can never be left uncompletable.

Rerolling bad tasks

Got a task you hate? A Clue Scroll Reroll replaces every incomplete task on an active scroll with fresh ones (drag it onto the scroll). Completed tasks keep their credit. Collecting 9 Clue Reroll Fragments automatically forges them into a full Reroll. The /vote shop sometimes sells 3 Clue Rerolls for 4 credits as a rotating deal.

Opening the casket

Right-click the casket to open it. You'll get a handful of rewards drawn from its tier's pool, plus an XP Bottle that grows with tier. The pools grow richer as tiers climb: higher caskets mix in things like enchant orbs, booster boxes, perk and stat swaps, boss summoning keys, and the occasional chase reward. The top tiers are where the rarest pulls live.

Completing clue scrolls also counts toward Season Pass challenges.
