Seers' Village Diary

Test2- BurnettBot 04:41, August 22, 2010 (UTC) Test- BurnettBot 04:38, August 22, 2010 (UTC) The Seers' Village Diary is one of the Achievement Diaries based on certain tasks in or around Seers' Village and was released on 20 January 2009. To start the diary, talk to any Seer in Seers' Village, Stankers by the coal trucks or Sir Kay in Camelot.

Rewards were significantly updated on 10 February 2009. The rewards were improved in response to complaints from players.

Skill boosts
If a skill level is not high enough to complete a certain task, temporary boosts may be available to raise it to allow completion. See skills for more information. Spicy stew are giving -6 to +6 skill boost based on luck. (A skill boost +6 is chance of 1/60) If using spicy stew it is highly recommended to train for the extra level because a +5 boost is more common (1/20).

Tips

 * When buying a candle, make sure it is a WHITE candle, as black candles will not complete the task.
 * To save time, 5 flax can be picked first and spun later, or done at the same time.
 * Buy cider from the bar under Miscellania (Fairy code: C-I-P) for 2 coins each (after the Royal Trouble quest.)
 * The cider may be used on the same person 5 times, without having to run around.
 * When walking around the statue make sure that your run is off, to make the task easier. It is more difficult to run around the statue without pausing if you are running.
 * Also when walking around the statue, start at one corner then click on the corner diagonal to it; continue this process to make it a lot easier.

Tips

 * The "Killing one guard in each tower" task will only be completed if a regular wood longbow is used. You can use only bronze or iron arrows. Protection prayer may be used.
 * The "Killing one guard in each tower" task must also be completed without leaving the tower. If the player leaves at any time, the previous kills will not be counted.
 * Longbow and Bronze arrows are both on sale at Dargaud's Bows and Arrows inside the Ranging Guild.
 * It is possible to bring the coal from Seers' Village bank to the closest coal truck, if you already have 120 coal. This will save the time taken to mine the coal.

Trivia

 * When given the poison chalice, King Arthur replies: You chose ...poorly. This is an Indiana Jones reference to the Holy grail.
 * Geoffrey was released with the diary and can be located in the Flax field.
 * If a player talks to Geoffrey and gets flax with a lower level headband, then gets a higher level headband on the same day, they cannot obtain any additional flax until the following day.
 * On the day of release, the spoilers were: Spoilers do not fit with the Seers' desire to predict the future more... esoterically. Please check back tomorrow.
 * If a player had completed the Holy Grail quest before talking to Galahad, the player will automatically exclaim: I've returned the Holy grail to Camelot and Galahad will congratulate the player. The same exchange could happen before the diary, as a player-chosen interaction option.
 * On the day of release skill boosts such as a spicy stew could not be used to cook the sharks; as of 27 January 2009 they can.
 * While giving a player the first headband, the seer mentions that Geoffrey prefers to be called "Flax".
 * The headbands do not need to be equipped to function as a light source.
 * Fishing a big shark counts toward the task of fishing sharks.
