Are clue tokens refreshed? They are on the board at the start, how do you get more after those are gone, I think Ive heard that some cards add clue tokens, what other way?
Clues
When I was playing, a lot of the Mythos cards I drew had a "clue appears at:" statement, which would mean that you put a clue token down on the specified location, I would expect. I actually had far too many clues on the board to ever run dry, but then, I was playing with a single investigator.
As far as other ways to add clues to the board, I don't know...but I do recall some of the locations or card events giving you chances to earn more clue tokens by turning in trophies and such.
In the base game, all (non-rumor) Mythos cards have a "clue appears at" effect. But since clues don't appear on open gates, so there's a counter-mechanic. Any non-mythos effect that puts clues onto the board is rare (and may be non-existent in the base game).

Hunh...I could've sworn that I found a couple in the base game (Environment types, I think) that just have "activity at" and not a "clue appears at," but maybe I just misread it. (It was getting very late by then.)
Ah, and I wasn't aware of the open gate = no clue rule (ironically, I had no clue about the rule 
). I don't think it ever came up meaningfully in my game, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.
Oops, you're right. Rumor cards don't add clues to the board (instead they add insult to injury).

Mostly Mythos cards add clue tokens on the board. But they can appear by other means in later expansions, such as by passing Personal Stories, a guardian like Hypnos, Professor Rice, etc.

Besides mythos cards that add them, there's Akachi, Professor Rice, and other clue generating investigator abilities. More practicaly speaking, there are the Elder Signs (all equivalent to 5 clues) and the Kings in Yellow, always worth hunting for, and of course the Science Building. I'm not quite sure if that's what you meant, so I'm sorry if I answered uselessly.
This kind of question is really from newbies, so I tend to omit related expansion components, as I don't want to confuse anybody.
