Fastest methods of farming Hard Clue Scrolls
The fastest method of farming hard clue scrolls is by opening Magpie impling jars. You can buy these from other players or on the Grand Exchange. Opening a magpie impling jar has a 1/50 chance of receiving a hard clue scroll.
Alternatively, if you are an ironman or don’t wish to buy impling jars. Then, you can kill hellhounds in the wilderness for a relatively fast method of obtaining hard clue scrolls. They drop at a rate of 1 in 32, if you kill them in the wilderness with an imbued ring of wealth. If you do not kill them with this ring in the wilderness then the drop rate is 1 in 64.
Jellies also have a drop rate of 1 in 64 for hard clue scrolls. Making them the best option if you do not wish to farm hard clues in the wilderness, or if you don’t have an imbued ring of wealth.
