# Clue geode

Clue geodes are rare rocks that can be found while mining (excluding in the Motherlode Mine) in place of receiving an ore. Searching them will give players a clue scroll of the same difficulty as the geode given. Like clue scrolls, players can only have one of each difficulty of clue geode in their possession. If a player possesses a clue scroll of the same difficulty as the clue geode, they will be unable to search the geode until the clue scroll is no longer in their possession.

There are four types of clue geodes:

## Rates

Like skilling pets, the rate of obtaining clue geodes are dependent on the player's mining level and the type of rock the player is mining. A ring of wealth (i) will double the rate of clue geodes for mining rocks in the Wilderness.

If a player gets a clue geode, there is a 40% chance of it being an easy clue geode, a 30% chance of it being a medium clue geode, a 20% chance of it being a hard clue geode, and a 10% chance of it being an elite clue geode. This does not change if the player already has one or more clue scrolls in their possession.[1]

The chance of obtaining a clue geode of any difficulty is 1 in ${\displaystyle [X/(100+Y)]}$, rounded down, where ${\displaystyle X}$ is the base chance and ${\displaystyle Y}$ is the player's mining level. For example, a player mining a runite rock at level 99 mining will have a 1 in 212 chance of obtaining a clue geode.
