This guide provides everything you need to efficiently gather both hard
and elite
clues from Thieving Menaphos market guards in the Merchant District of Menaphos. This method requires interacting every 15 minutes to prevent logout by using a combination of the Ring of Vitur
and Magpie Pouches 
Clue Rates
Baseline rates are approximately 17.5 elite
and 21.0 hard

and 21.6 hard
clues per hour, not including Bik
