Treasure Trails Expansion Poll Blog

Welcome to the Treasure Trails Expansion Poll blog! In the coming days, we'll be polling an expansion to Treasure Trails. Back in July 2016, we released a Treasure Trails Expansion that included Master Clues, new types of challenges, and new rewards. After the announcement post on Friday the 22nd of February, we went through hundreds of your designs, suggestions, and feedback regarding the upcoming Treasure Trails Expansion. The Old School team agrees that this expansion is set to be one of the best yet!

The poll for the below questions will be live on Friday (08/03/2019) and will close on the following Monday (11/03/2019).

Changelog
This is a revised version of a previous blog post. We have made the following changes based on your feedback:

Beginner Clues will not be required to hand into Watson for a Master Clue
Stackable Clues now refer to Multiple Clues to better fit the description of the change to clue scrolls
Multiple Clues now have a cap of 5 per tier
Multiple Clues now have a new polled option in regards to drop rates
Removal of the warning message for the Mimic Boss fight when opening reward casket
Addition of the Mimic Boss fight to be unlockable by talking to an NPC rather than being forced upon players
Addition of stats and descriptions regarding polled rewards

Beginner Clue Scrolls

This short 1-3 step clue will be accessible to both F2P and P2P players and will offer F2P clue challenges and rewards . Following your feedback , this clue scroll will not be part of the requirements to obtain a master clue scroll from Watson.
Alongside Beginner Clue Scrolls, there will be a new tutor to teach new F2P players how clue scrolls work and where to obtain them . In addition, at the end of the X Marks the Spot Quest, players will now be rewarded with a Beginner Clue Scroll and directed to talk to the new clue tutor to learn more about them. Players who have already completed the quest will still be able to claim their Beginner Clue Scroll Reward.
Please note that Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite, and Master clue scrolls will remain members only items.

New Clue Puzzles

These new clue puzzles will include new slider puzzles designed by the Old School Community. Most of the designs are focused on highlighting some of our successful updates over the past few years. These new slider puzzles will appear in all clues tiers that currently have a potential to receive a slider puzzle.
Some of the new slider puzzles feature designs inspired by:

Raids I: Chambers of Xeric
Theatre of Blood
Vorkath

More Rewards

We had numerous designs and ideas from you for new clue rewards. After sifting through hundreds of ideas the following rewards will need to pass a poll before being put into game. They are as follows:
Cape of Skulls

This cape would skull the player when worn. Just like Amulet of Avarice, when equipping the cape players would be given a warning. The skull will be applied until the cape is unequipped, at which point the skull will disappear after twenty minutes.The cape would have the same stats as an Obsidian Cape.
Provides the following stats:

Spiked Manacles (footwear slot)

This barefoot style footwear will have stats comparable to Climbing boots but with a +4 strength bonus and no defence bonuses or quest requirement.
Provides the following stats:

Blessed D'hide Shields

These shields will have stats comparable to a Black d'hide shield but with +1 prayer bonus. They will come in Guthix, Saradomin, Zamorak, Ancient, Armadyl, and Bandos styles to match the blessed dragonhide armour currently in game.
Provides the following stats:

Fremennik Kilt

This stylish kilt will have stats comparable to Iron platelegs but with +1 strength bonus.
Provides the following stats:

3rd Age Druidic Set

This will be the final set in the 3rd age set. The Top and Bottoms will require 65 Prayer and Defence to wear. The 3rd Age Druidic Wreath is not included in the set because it is already obtainable in game via Diango's Toy Store.This set will not include a new 3rd Age Druidic cloak because there is already a 3rd Age cloak in game.
Provides the following stats:

If the Treasure Trails expansion is added to the game, a selection of new rewards will be added. These rewards will either be cosmetic or match the stats of items with similar requirements that already exist in game. These would not be polled individually, but rather be included as part of the Treasure Trails expansion and distributed across all tiers of clue scroll. Here are just some of the new rewards that could appear in your reward casket:

Uri's Hat
Ranger Tights
Obby Maul Ornament Kits
Gilded Dragonhide Set
Gilded Defender Kit
Wolf Mask and Cape
Sandwich Lady Outfit
Heraldic Platebodies
Joint of H.A.M (wieldable)
Staff of Bob the Cat
Double Sai
Jester Cape
Gnome Scarf Recolours
Gilded Hatchet and Pickaxe

Poll Question #1
Should a Treasure Trails expansion be added to Old School RuneScape? This expansion will include new challenges and new rewards for the existing tiers of clue scrolls as well as a brand new ?Beginner? tier.
