in all reality, hard clues are the worst of them all. You start getting puzzles that take up time and the ticket items are far more rare. Stick with easies and elites imo
almost any clue is worth less than the amount of time you will spend running around on them. like last night I got an elite that gave a rune pl8, 67 nats, a dragon dagger, and 24 biscuits.
i had some decent luck killing Men in edgeville and getting easy clues. I got a few god pages back when they were worth a fair amount, though I have no idea if they are worth anything now. ~15min each
I only do elites. Hards aren't difficult, they're just not worth doing and I get them so often. Elites are rare like the old clues and are actually fun to do. I just wish they had better loot.
