Emote clues involve equipping certain items in a particular location and performing an emote. They were first introduced to treasure trails in August 2008. These types of clues are featured in all levels of clue scrolls, and most (but not all) items required for the emote clues can be obtained in shops, although using the Grand Exchange is recommended. Once the emote has been performed, an NPC called Uri will appear and usually give the player a scroll box. If Uri is giving the player their reward rather than another clue, he will give the player a casket. If the player has been requested to do another emote before talking to Uri, and they forgot to do it, he will say, I don't believe we have any business... but will not leave. The player can then complete the second emote and finish the clue. Level 1 clues require doing 1 emote, level 2 clues require doing 2, and level 3 clues require doing 1 emote and fighting the double agent.
Many of the items asked for in these clues are obscure. The Grand Exchange is the simplest way to obtain them, but often not the cheapest. As a result of demand by players doing treasure trails, most of these items have been driven up in price considerably above what they would be otherwise worth. In many cases, emote clue items may be bought from shops for considerably less money, or even be player made with little difficulty. Note that wearing any version of a required item different than the standard one will not work (for example; a rune platebody(t) will not work in place of a basic rune platebody).
For level 3 clues, doing the emote will not summon Uri but instead an aggressive NPC known as the double agent, which uses only melee attacks. If the agent appears, the player must kill him and perform the emote again, with all the original items from the clue equipped. Note: If the items for the clue are equipped upon killing the double agent, Uri will appear automatically, without having to repeat the emote. The player can change equipment to take out the double agent but must change back after killing him in order to make Uri appear. Normally, the double agent is level 108, but in the Wilderness he is considerably weaker at only level 65. Note that it can still be dangerous, since the player can encounter player killers in the Wilderness.
For players that do treasure trails frequently, it is often economical and time-saving to keep the items for the clue level(s) they do most often in their bank. It is not recommended, however, to keep items for all emote clues banked, as a total of 94 items are used across the three clue levels.
Green chaps are sold in the Champions' Guild, and the mithril helm may be bought in Gunnarsgrunn. The ring of duelling is either player made or bought from the Grand Exchange. Tai Bwo Wannai is easy to reach by using Fairy ring code CKR, or via the charter ship to Brimhaven or the House teleport to Brimhaven, or teleport to Tai Bwo Wannai by using the new teleport scrolls, or use the karamja teleport from a amulet of glory then going to the far left gate and going south after that. Players need to be standing within the large red fenced area where Gabooty is before performing the emotes.
The snail that drops the required shell is located in The Hollows near the entrance to the Myreque hideout. An iron pickaxe can be obtained underground at the location via operating the Winch, bought in the Dwarven Mines or player made with 2 iron bars (Perils of Ice Mountain and 20 Smithing required). The snakeskin boots can be made with a Crafting level of 45 from 6 tanned snake hides, which can be most quickly acquired by killing the poisonous snakes in the Mos Le'Harmless jungle. The fastest ways to get to the clue area are Digsite pendant, a Gnome glider, or the Balloon transport system. First do the beckon emote, then Uri will appear. Bow or curtsy before talking to him. This clue will only work with the pointed version of the snelm. By the pointed version of the snelm, it means the snelm made out of the pointed version of the Blamish red shell. You can use a chisel from your Toolbelt to craft it.
It is recommended to turn Auto Retaliate off so that players do not waste a mud pie when retaliating against the double agent. The fairy ring (CKR), the Karamja gloves 3, or a charter ship to Brimhaven followed by a cart ride on the Shilo Village cart system or a run to Shilo Village place players in or near clue location. Obtaining a splitbark helm can prove to be difficult, but many players will lend their helms either for free or for a small charge at the Shilo Village bank (the enchanted version will not work). Vyrelords and vyreladies may also drop the helm for those that have started The Branches of Darkmeyer. Mud pies are made by obtaining a pie shell (pie dish with pastry dough added), then filling it with normal compost, water, then dry clay in that order. Cook the pie on a range to finish it. The rune platebody can be bought from the Grand Exchange or from Oziach in Edgeville.
The rune warhammer is a rare drop from ice trolls and a rarer drop from Troll Generals, Warped tortoises and the Kalphite Queen, but it is easiest to buy one on the Grand Exchange. It is advised to make the elemental shield yourself, as it is rarely sold on the exchange. The chaps can be made if the player has a fairly high Crafting level, but they too may be purchased from the Grand Exchange. The Fishing requirement to enter the Fishing Guild (68 Fishing) means that some players may not be able to complete this clue. Players can get into the guild at level 63 or higher by boosting with an admiral pie (level 63 min.) or fishing potion (level 65 min.). The guild can be reached via a charged skills necklace, or the Ardougne Teleport.
A player can easily make a coif and leather gloves from basic leather, and just as easily buy them. Iron platebodys can be purchased from Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock, player made, or purchased on the grand exchange.Keep Le Faye can be found south of Seers' Village, and can be reached via the Camelot teleport or by using Fairy ring code BLR.
Players with high crafting levels may choose to craft the dragonhide armour, or it may be purchased from other players or through the Grand Exchange. The lyre teleport followed by a run to the west, or the games necklace to barbarian assault followed by the crossing of the basalt rocks north are the quickest methods to get to the lighthouse. Note: Blue spiky vambracesdo not work.
File:Emote clue Bow Curtsey Duel Arena ticket office.pngIron chainbody can be found at the chain store in southern Falador. Leather chaps can be found in the Ranging Guild, made, or purchased on the Grand Exchange. Coifs can be found at the Champions' Guild and the Ranging Guild, and are very cheap on the Grand Exchange due to their low level of usefulness and ultra high supply. The ring of duelling, or Home teleport to Al-Kharid will get you closest with relative ease. Alternative means of getting to the arena include using an Amulet of glory or a Gnome glider.
You can buy the iron platelegs and oak longbow in Varrock, at the armour and ranged stores. You will need to make or buy the unenchanted amulet yourself. The Legends' Guild has a fairy ring (code BLR) very close by. Alternatively, teleport to Ardougne and head northeast to the guild. Do the emote outside the main gate.
The Burthorpe Games Room can be found at the bottom of Burthorpe Castle, and easily reached with the games necklace. Please note that you have to be in the part of the games room with the board games tables. Note: This does not work in the global worlds for the Games Room.
An air tiara can be made by using an unenchanted tiara on the Air altar with an Air talisman in your inventory, or it can be bought from the Grand Exchange. A bronze 2-handed sword can be bought in the sword shop in Taverley or made. A gold amulet can be crafted at level 8 Crafting, received as a drop from monsters in the Lumbridge Catacombs, or bought from the Grand Exchange. The druids circle is north of Taverley. The best way to reach it is to teleport to Burthorpe using a Games necklace or by using the Lodestone network and head south, or to teleport to Falador and head north. Alternatively, one can take a Mine cart to White Wolf Mountain (requires Fishing Contest) or use the Balloon transport system (requires Enlightened Journey, normal Logs, and a Tinderbox). You can also teleport with a Taverley tablet(with the completion of Love Story and 77 Magic) and then walk northeast.
A steel plateskirt can be bought in Al-Kharid or made, coifs can be bought at the Ranging Guild, Grand Exchange, or made. Sapphire necklaces can be crafted by the player, or bought from other players or the Grand Exchange but are fairly expensive due to the demand for games necklaces. The easiest ways to reach Port Sarim are to use the cabbage-port from Explorer's ring 3 or 4 or a teleport to Draynor Village from an Amulet of glory. Alternatively, players can teleport to Falador and run to the port. You should be able to do this emote any where on the dock, as long as you are east of the bank deposit.
Steel platebodys can be easily purchased from the grand exchange, as well of maple shortbow, as both of these items are in huge oversupply. Bronze boots can be purchased from the Grand Exchange or obtained as a drop from Cave crawlers, which are very poisonous and require level 10 Slayer to kill. The agility arena is at the Barbarian Outpost. A games necklace will come in very handy as the Barbarian Outpost is rather remote.
Green dragonhide armour is sold in the Champions' guild. The steel sq shield can be made or purchased from the Grand Exchange. There is also a shield shop in Falador which sells this. The ogre pen is located in the Combat Training Camp, just north of West Ardougne, also you will have to squeeze through a gap in the railings located on the west of the pen to get in with the Ogres. Use the ardougne teleport, or spirit tree to the gnome stronghold and head southeast to reach the area. You need to have completed Biohazard to get into the combat training camp and Dragon Slayer in order to wear the body.
Leather gloves can be bought at the Varrock clothing store near the general store. You can buy Blue flowers in the Grand Exchange or obtain them by planting Mithril seeds. The amulet must be either player-made at level 50 Crafting or bought from the Grand Exchange. The exam centre is south of the digsite, use the digsite pendant or a gnome glider to reach the area.
An iron medium helmet spawns near the Khazard battlefield, but can also be purchased from Peksa's Helmet Shop in Gunnarsgrunn or player-made. An emerald ring is player made at Level 27 Crafting, or purchased/traded. The gloves spawn just south of the bank in Edgeville, and can also be crafted. Causeway is another name for Bridge. Use fairy ring code DIS, an amulet of glory, cabbage port, Wicked hood or Lumbridge Teleport to reach the area.
Emerald rings can be player-made at level 27 Crafting or bought from the grand exchange. The wood camo top can be bought from the grand exchange or made by bringing two Common kebbit furs and 20 coins to the fancy dress shop in Varrock. Tiaras are crafted by players, but purchasing them on the grand exchange is far cheaper. Ardroune teleport then head north, it's in the farm area, or use Skills necklace to teleport to Fishing Guild.
Green d'hide chaps can be purchased at the Champions' Guild. Steel Kiteshield can be found at the Falador Shield Store. Ring of Forging is an enchanted ruby ring, and must be player made or purchased. Use a Spirit tree teleport to the gnome stronghold, or Ardougne Teleport and head northwest to the gnome stronghold. You need to partially complete the agility course then do the two emotes in sequence. A painted herald steel kiteshield will not work. (Note: The emotes are actually performed on the south-west tree. This may be an oversight by Jagex.)
An adamant 2h Sword can be bought in Taverley (2-handed sword shop held by Gaius, at the very north of Taverley) or made at level 84 smithing. Rings of life and amulets of glory can be bought from the Grand Exchange or player-made at level 43 and 80 Crafting, respectively. A level 108 Double agent will attack. Sophanem is in the far southern desert, and requires partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper to enter. The cat-doored pyramid is located just south of the Pyramid Plunder pyramid. The most direct way is using Jalsavrah teleport with pharaoh's sceptre which teleports to the Pyramid Plunder pyramid; or use the magic carpet service to reach the city. Alternatively, a Ring of Slaying teleport to Sumona with a run across the desert or use of the magic carpets is an option. After Love Story, a house teleport tab to the Pollnivneach portal could also be used.
An iron chainbody can be bought at the chain store near the southern Falador entrance. Sapphire Rings are player made or purchased on the Grand Exchange. A longbow can be found in any range store, such as the one in Catherby or the Ranging Guild, or is in overstock on the grand exchange. The explorers ring 3 cabbage port, amulet of glory teleport, or Home teleport to Draynor will put you in the area.
Mithril platelegs are available in the Al-Kharid platelegs store and can also be made. The 2-handed sword can be purchased in Burthorpe, or is player made, and the spiny helm can be bought from a Slayer Master such as Mazchna, who is very close to the location. Use Fairy ring code C-K-S, the Canifis house portal, or the ectophial.
The steel full helm and Steel Platebody are in oversupply on the grand exchange, but can also be bought from stores or player-made. The iron plateskirt can be made or purchased in the Al-Kharid plateskirt store. The Party Room in Falador is best reached by the Falador Teleport.

Leather boots and gloves are easily crafted from basic leather or purchased. Use Lumbridge teleport,then enter the pass way you will need 10gp to get past. Then head north to the mine.
The fishing guild is located between Seers' Village and Ardougne. You'll need a sapphire amulet, an emerald ring, and a bronze chainbody. You do not need to go inside of the guild to get the reward. Make sure you use the jig emote, not the dance emote. The jewellery must be unenchanted, otherwise it won't work.
The snelm may be player-made at level 15 Crafting, or, more uncommonly, bought from the Grand Exchange. The pointed blue snail itself may be found just north of the fairy ring in Mort Myre (code BKR). A staff of air can be bought at the staff shop in Varrock or received as a monster drop. The bronze square shield may be player-made, received as a drop from Goblins, or bought from the Grand Exchange or the shield store in Falador. Shantay's awning refers to the Shantay Pass. Make sure to use the pointed snelm and not standard round one. The Broomstick from Swept Away places you almost exactly there. The magic carpet system can be used form the desert, otherwise the lodestone teleport to Al Kharid is probably best.
Iron boots can be obtained as a drop from a Cockatrice or Cave slime or bought in the grand exchange, the unholy symbol can be made or bought from another player or from the grand exchange, and a steel hatchet may be purchased from bob's axes or made. The beehives are just west of the Catherby bank, in the fenced in area. Use the Camelot teleport or Catherby lodestone teleport to get to the area.
No stores in the game sell these items, so they must be bought from the Grand Exchange, player-made through Crafting and Smithing, or received as drops from monsters. Note: Rune full helm (e) or any other variation of blue d'hide chaps (i.e. trimmed, gold-trimmed, Blessed, etc.) will not work. The Mountain Camp is east of Rellekka. Take a rope to get into the camp if you haven't done the quest Mountain Daughter. North of Fairy Ring (A-J-R). Teleportation via Slayer Ring is also an option.

One location considered as "The heart of the Haunted Woods"The location depicted is located south-east of the Fairy Ring (A-L-Q) and south of the farming area. There are two short mushrooms east and within sight (3/4 of the way to the edge of the minimap) of the fairy ring which the player can stand in between. Standing between these mushrooms is the location where the emote is to be done. Directly west of this clump of vegetation is a 'live tree' which will attack. Players should wear armour for this clue and bring food as they will need to fend off leeches and vampires until they reach the location. Stat restore potions are suggested for players under level 105 combat as the leeches may slightly reduce their stats. A level 108 Double Agent will attack, so equipping armour and a weapon again to kill him is recommended. Be sure to un-equip all items again only when it is safe to do so.

A level 108 Double agent will attack.
Panic on the pier where you catch the Fishing Trawler. Have nothing equipped at all when you do.

The mausoleum is the small island where the player dug up various body parts. You cannot go directly as the bridge is broken, go to the graveyard east of the castle and push the eastern memorial to pass through the Experiment dungeon.
