Treasure Trails/Guide/Scans
Scans are a type of Treasure Trail clue only occurring with elite clue scrolls. They were added to the game as part of the Treasure Trail update on 4 August 2010. They are immediately recognisable by the orb attached to the clue scroll. Scans clues require going to a particular region and scanning in order to find the next clue (or the casket).
To start the clue, players must first right-click the scroll and select the "Read" option to find out in which region to search. Then they must go to this region and use the scroll's "Scan" option to scan for the correct spot. This may be anywhere within the stated region, so it is important to scan in different parts of the region in order to find the correct location. When the correct spot is within the orb's scan range, using the scan will detect it. When this happens, an arrow will appear above the dig location, and also on the minimap. Once the spot has been located, players must dig there to receive the next clue or the casket.
A Spade or a Meerkat familiar is needed to dig up the next clue. Using a spade, there is a possibility that a level 125 Guthix wizard (or level 110 in the Wilderness) will appear and attack the player. This wizard will need to be killed in order to successfully dig. Using Meerkats, players can avoid the possibility of having to fight a Guthix wizard.
Since the location may be anywhere within the region, scans require a certain amount of patience, since there is no quick and easy way to find the correct location. It is also advised to continually click scan as you move around, and to try not to miss any part of the area as you pass through it, taking note of the orb's scan range.
