In Old School RS (OSRS), certain pieces of equipment are coveted for their utility and rarity, and the Wizard Boots are no exception. These boots offer a decent boost to Magic stats and can only be obtained by completing Medium Clue Scrolls through the Treasure Trails activity. While they are not as expensive or powerful as their upgraded counterpart, Eternal Boots, Wizard Boots still holds a special place for players pursuing magic-centric gear, particularly for mid-level content.

However, acquiring them is not straightforward, as they have a rare drop rate of 1 in 1,133 per Medium Clue Scroll casket. With this in mind, this guide will walk you through the best methods to obtain Medium Clue Scrolls efficiently, how to complete them, and what makes Wizard Boots valuable in the game.

The Basics of Treasure Trails and Medium Clue Scrolls

Treasure Trails are a members-only activity in OSRS that involves solving a series of clues leading to a casket filled with rewards. These clues are divided into tiers—easy, medium, hard, elite, and master—each corresponding to different difficulty levels and reward potential.

Wizard Boots, specifically, is a possible reward from Medium Clue Scrolls. Completing these clues requires traveling around Gielinor and following instructions to find the casket that contains your reward. On average, medium clues involve 3 to 5 steps, which makes them a manageable activity for mid-level players, and all steps are located outside of the Wilderness, ensuring a relatively safe experience.

While Medium Clue Scrolls are available from many sources, hunting for them efficiently can be tricky. Below, we’ll cover two primary methods for farming these scrolls quickly.

Efficient Ways to Obtain Medium Clue Scrolls

There are many sources of Medium Clue Scrolls, including monsters, fishing, woodcutting, and even opening chests. However, if you’re looking to specifically target-farm these scrolls, two methods stand out as the most efficient.

Method 1: Falador Guards

One of the most common ways to obtain Medium Clue Scrolls is by killing Falador guards, as they have a drop rate of 1/128 for a clue scroll. What makes this method particularly efficient is the high density of these guards in Falador and their low combat level, which makes them easy to kill for players of nearly any level.

If you’ve completed the Medium Falador Diary, the drop rate improves slightly to 1/106, providing an even better chance of obtaining a clue scroll. Another advantage of this method is the proximity to a bank, allowing you to easily resupply without wasting time on long trips.

For players looking to speed up this process, using a Dwarf Multicannon can significantly increase your kill rate, especially in high-density areas such as the park in central Falador. This method allows you to multitask and kill many guards at once, making it one of the fastest methods for farming Medium Clue Scrolls.

Method 2: Eclectic Implings

A more expensive but faster method involves catching and opening Eclectic Implings, which have a 1/25 chance of containing a Medium Clue Scroll. Eclectic Implings can be found in the overworld or in Puro-Puro, a magical realm where implings of all types spawn frequently. To catch these implings, you’ll need a Hunter level of 50 (or 60 for barehanded catching).

The primary benefit of using Eclectic Implings is that they are tradeable, meaning you can buy them in bulk from the Grand Exchange. This allows you to rapidly open implings for clues, bypassing the slower method of farming guards or other monsters. While this method can become costly over time, it’s unmatched in speed and efficiency.

If you choose to catch your Eclectic Implings, it’s recommended to unlock the Arceuus Spellbook to use the Dark Lure spell, which pulls implings toward you, making catching them easier. Additionally, Stamina potions are advised for extended periods of running and chasing implings in Puro-Puro.

How to Complete Medium Clue Scrolls Quickly

Once you have your Medium Clue Scroll, the next step is completing it efficiently. Medium clues involve traveling across Gielinor, solving riddles, and performing emotes. Here are a few tips to streamline this process:

    • Carry as many teleports as possible: Teleportation jewelry such as Rings of Dueling, Necklaces of Passage, and Amulets of Glory will help you travel quickly between clue steps. Additionally, carry runes for key teleports like Varrock, Falador, and Ardougne.

    • Use the Stamina Potion: Since Medium Clue Scrolls often require a lot of running, bringing a few Stamina Potions will help you maintain your run energy throughout the entire clue.

    • Bank Clue Scrolls if desired: You can save your clue caskets and open them all at once for a fun reward opening session. This method doesn’t affect the rewards, so if you enjoy opening caskets in bulk, feel free to bank them until you’ve completed several clues.

Completing a Medium Clue Scroll will yield a casket containing random rewards, and each casket has a 1/1,133 chance of dropping Wizard Boots. While this might seem like a low drop rate, consistent farming through the above methods will eventually net you this rare and valuable item.

Why Wizard Boots are Valuable

So, what makes Wizard Boots so special? These boots are among the most sought-after rewards from Medium Clue Scrolls due to their Magic bonus and accessibility for mid-level players. Although they don’t offer the highest Magic stats in the game, their combination of rarity and usefulness makes them highly desirable.

Wizard Boots provides a +4 Magic attack and +4 Magic defense bonus. While these numbers might not seem groundbreaking, the lack of any level requirements makes them an excellent option for players working through early- to mid-game content. This is especially true for players who prioritize Magic-focused activities, like bossing or casting spells in combat.

But there’s more. Wizard Boots can be combined with an Eternal Crystal to create Eternal Boots, which require 60 Magic and 60 Runecrafting to craft. Eternal Boots are the best-in-slot Magic boots in OSRS, offering significantly higher bonuses for Magic attack and defense. As a result, Wizard Boots serve as a stepping stone for players working their way toward endgame Magic gear.

Conclusion

Wizard Boots are a coveted reward in Old School RuneScape, obtainable only through Medium Clue Scrolls. While the process of acquiring them can be a bit of a grind due to their rarity, the effort is worth it for any player looking to boost their Magic stats. Whether you’re farming clue scrolls from Falador guards or opening Eclectic Implings, persistence is key in your pursuit of these elusive boots.

For those who stick with it, the reward is not just a set of stylish Wizard Boots, but also the satisfaction of adding a valuable piece of gear to your collection—or even upgrading them into Eternal Boots for the ultimate Magic setup. Happy clue hunting!
