Hi. In pretty unexciting news, there's another of those treasure trail games for you to play.


Want to get started? Look at this list of words and figure out what they have in common; then, hopefully, the next clue will come to you.



Hank
Ave
Mission

Lobs
Evolution
Ether
Ails
Regs

Very
Erotic
Ant
Eaves
Steroid
Eat
Ale
Late



Can you decode the clues and make it to the winners' circle first?


Disclaimer: As always, everything is fair game. Feel free to lie about what you've found if it helps throw people off the trail.

I CLAIM FIRST POST

*WAITS FOR SOMEONE TO GET IT SO I CAN PERSUADE THEM*

I've never done one of these before and I've got less that 0% idea how to start solving

is this why i can see secret forum then even more secret forum at scape lounge or is it just me
i think i know the answere
i do because i got in the secret forum
nurnurnenurnur

Oh not again!

You must have loads'a spare time on your hands!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who spotted this, but every single word seems to be able to have 1 letter added to it to make another word. I'm hopeless at these kinds of puzzles though.... anyone with any ideas?

THIS IS TO PUT YOU OFF TRACK!
IT IS ALL EXPLAINED IN THIS VIDEO STARING RICK ASTLEY!

i am so terrible at these it aint funny...
anyone I can bribe with cookies and milk?

Aw, Not this again.

Is there a secret forum again? Don't tell me, Its probably a lie.

nope there isn't
sorry
yeah you are right

first post ive ever done!!

i honestly have no idea.

first page W00T!!

since work is utterly exciting and time consuming today i'll try to solve it this afternoon
not like i have anything better to do

hmmm ...


Oh ---I have no ideas!!!!

From spectre's idea... possible letters to add onto each (in front, someone else can do behind if they want, but I believe I'm on the right track)

Hank: T
Ave: C, G, H, P, R, S, W
Mission: E, O

Probably: THE or TWO

Lobs: B, G, S
Evolution: R
Ether: A
Ails: B, F, H, J, M, N, P, R, S, T, W
Regs: D

Probably: GRAND

Very: E
Erotic: ??
Ant: C, P, R, W,
Eaves: H, L
Steroid: A
Eat: B, F, H, M, N, P, S, T
Ale: B, D, G, K, M, P, T, V
Late: E, P, S

Predictions: it's clearly an 8-letter word. The most obvious problem is the ?? by "EROTIC". Dictionary.com (which I have only consulted on this particular set of letters) lists "cerotic" as a word, but as it's exceptionally rare outside the medical field, I'd wonder whether it was meant to be "cerotic" or something else.

In any case, it's my bedtime. Good luck guys, I'll check on it tomorrow.

got this one
up to the next one

bleh although i know the answer of this clue i can't find the next one

Theres a reason I dont usually bother doing these

Good luck all

Aww Christ, here we go again. Time to start work.

Ohh Ohh i got it i got it!!...thankyou wilt you input was invaluable.

Now what do i do?

Bah. I don't feel like playing.

1st page...

I was wondering when another one of these was going to pop up. I have to go to school now, no doubt when I return I'll be several clues behind the rest.

You put this up just as I have to leave. And not on a weekend. And when I'm getting 99 fishing.

I wont be that available for this one, people.

Have the coordinates at the bottom of the screen always been there? Also they change depending on the skin.

nope they are a clue or a diversion
but i don't know where that clue fits

best to do em in order starting with the one in the first post here

The most likely thing I can find is The Grand Exchange. Anyone can feel free to click through the 500 links in that sticky checking for changes.

As for these co-ordinates, I'd advise checking to see which skin Cameron uses.

Cameron uses inspire, co-ords with that are (2, -7). I barely have any time, so someone navigate around the forum and see how they change.

i checked the guide on the site, in the guide archive and the news post

nuttin

Are you sure it isn't multiple words?
Because it could be "The Grand Exchange" then.

Well, nothing else I can think of relative to THE GRAND appears on this forum. Unless there's a story called that. To the story forum.

Also, tried 'lion', 'bear', 'animal', and others. No dice.

I'm thinking "The Grand Exchange" is probably it, as well. Now to figure things out...

The co-ords only change according to skin. We must take our focus off them.

we should continue with the result of clue 1 and see where that takes us
don't bother with those number at the bottom till we get to them

Searched the grand exchange in the crappy salmonean search engine. Got the return the favor exchange is rate my work, but its clean.

Get on Veril. Remind me, how to get on? PM me it.


-Nacho-

Veril returns again. Remember: They lie. I also figured out how to authenticate images posted.

search for "+the+grand+exchange"
will work better (if the search engine knows those commands that is )

Tropic has to go and thus does not have time to hunt, if you can find something I will rapidly break it.

Well, I tried graphing all the points in the coordinates on the different skins. Here's what I got, lol.



Looks like a keyhole to me, although that's probably stretching things. Ideas?

yeah doing something with the clue in thsi first post
we know what it says
but we don't have a clue where it leads to

no point in trying to tackle those numbers now

Why couldn't you have posted this a week ago so I could have had something to do while I was sick, now as soon as I'm getting over it and have to go to school you post...

So, The Grand Exchange.

HAM
LEEAR
VEAESEAL

Thats what i got from all the first letters. They all made me think of meat. Always try 2 ways of things or more on riddles made by those insane

The picture could be the grand exchange and the palace, see the picture in the g.e guide.

Could co-ordinates tell us which person to talk to like there are particular sellers selling stuff like that herb guy etc...

Any ideas???

Well, I can tell you that the graph was just the most useful one I was able to find on google images after 20 seconds of searching, so it's definitely not to scale. And I'd also highly doubt that Cameron and the rest of the admin team would be able to get Jagex to modify RS to fit our puzzle

you never know
remember the quest guide neo wrote before the quest was out

Darn you, you smelly camel!

So from what I can gather, we have "The Grand Exchange" and some random coordinates? Am I right?

You look like you know what your doing......


Where exactly does the scope for this puzzle end?

forums i think
site at max

Just think forums. I forgot my password for editing the item database.

I feel like a dumb version of Indiana Jones...lol...any hints?

Veril needs to get together for this.

Thank you for remembering us colourblind nubs even if you spelt it wrong and it makes no sense. <3
