A clue nest (beginner) is randomly obtained from Woodcutting or emptying bird houses on Fossil Island if the player has not completed X Marks the Spot, otherwise they will receive a Scroll box (beginner) and an empty bird nest will drop to the ground. Searching the nest gives a beginner clue scroll and an empty bird nest on members' worlds. On free-to-play worlds, the bird nest is destroyed.

If the player completes X Marks the Spot before opening the clue nest, they will instead receive a beginner scroll box.

All clue nests are dropped in addition to logs.

The ring of wealth (i) does not affect the rate of clue nest (beginner) drops from Woodcutting in the Wilderness.

Drop rates

The chance of obtaining a beginner clue nest while chopping down a tree depends on a number of factors, including the player's Woodcutting level, the base chance of receiving a clue nest from that type of tree, and a clue tier modifier.

For a more detailed breakdown of how the drop rates of clue nests are determined, see the main article.

Trivia

  • Attempting to open a beginner nest while already in possession of a beginner clue prints the message "The nest refuses to give up its prize - you already have a clue."[1]
