Pretty easy to tell you haven't done that many clues in your life lol.
Go get firelighters and magic shortbow only hard clues then come back. The day you do clues for the money is a bad day, they're absolutely shit money if you don't hit a good rare.
That's not very shitty, especially in comparison to elite clues xD.
I estimate i've done a bit over 2000 hard clues in my entire time playing, before counters and whatnot. I've had my share of shitty loots, and never expect to get something good =)
imagine someone killing a kiddo with black d'hide and a coif and getting ahrims karils and guthans. Would be the most confusing shit ever. Either way, good kill.
