Map of Medium Tasks

Notes[]

  • Task #3: The portal is near the east entrance, with a bit walking to the north.
  • Task #4: Six rats need to be caught. These do not need to be caught in the same house as in the quest, though. Instead, it is suggested to be caught directly under the Sewers.
  • Task #7: You must first complete the Stronghold of Security. The four emotes are Idea, Stomp, Flap and Slap Head.
  • Task #8: You can get another cat and keep the one you have by storing the one you have in the menagerine in your player-owned-house.
  • Task #11: First, learn to make a digsite pendant at the Varrock Museum. You don't need to dig up another pendent to make into a digsite pendent, just enchant a ruby necklace after you learn the spell. (Note: During the quest Temple at Senntisten if you choose to teleport to the digsite using a Digsite pendant, this counts towards the task being completed.) Unpatched as of 7th April 2010
  • Task #15: Vannaka is in the middle of the Edgeville Dungeon, the fastest way to reach him is to use the Agility shortcut from Varrock Sewers.
  • Task #16: Using Special Mahogany Logs won't work.
  • Task #17: White tree fruit is only available when Garden of Tranquility is finished.
  • Task #18: It's wise to go to either Entrana or Taverley as you only need one normal log. You must do a voyage to Varrock first, which requires 10 Willow Logs
  • Task #19: Your character will say when your cat catches 100 rats. After this talk to Gertrude to get your medal.
  • Task #20: The Fairy Ring Code is D-K-R.
  • Task #21: Oziach's shop is located at the northwest of Edgeville.

Notes[]

File:Cooks Guild Bank Varrock Diary.PNG

Cook's Guild Bank

File:Varrock Armor 3.PNG

A male and female player wearing the reward from the hard tasks.

  • Task #1: The farm patch is west of the Champion's Guild. Boosts will work for this task.
  • Task #1, #4: The Spicy Stew works for all tasks. It can grant anywhere from a -6 to a +6. However there is only a 1/60 chance to a +6. This allows level 64 farming for the bush, and level 67 smithing for the helmet.
  • Task #3: The Fancy-dress shop owner is located south-east of the eastern Varrock bank.
  • Task #5: If 153 kudos have already been collected, just talk to Orlando. See the Varrock Museum for information on obtaining Kudos.
  • Task #6: Romily Weaklax roams on the ground level of the Chef's Guild. Buy the pie at the Grand exchange, instead of making them yourself.
  • Task #8: If your POH is already decorated with a tropical wood or fancy stone finish, and you want to keep it like that, it would be cheapest to switch to a basic wood or stone finish and switch back to a tropical wood or fancy stone finish, costing between 20-30k. (Or, if you have completed Love story, Dark stone is the slightly cheaper alternative)
  • Task #9: You can get this achievement on any Mahogany Eagle Lectern. Always double check to make sure it is gilded.
  • Task #10: You need to first destroy your previous gauntlets if you still have them and then talk to Dimintheis again.

Trivia[]

  • Orlando Smith is a nod to the character Indiana Jones from the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie.
  • When the Defender of Varrock quest was released, the Kudos requirement stayed at 153 instead of the new total.
  • From sometime no later than 13 May 2009, until the 19 May 2009 update, the Ancients Home Teleport did not register, making it impossible to complete the diary.
  • If you cast home teleport in a Bounty hunter world, it does NOT count for completing the Hard task of using home teleport to teleport to Edgeville .
  • The reward from all armours used to include better prices when buying and selling from Varrock stores, but was replaced with a higher chance at receiving Skull Sceptre parts on 2 September 2009 along with the Personalised Shops Update.
  • When Elsie tells you a story about "Dissy" she is actually speaking about the Wise Old Man from Draynor.
  • When you try to mine iron ore for the easy Varrock Achievement diary it doesn't count as the achievement.This bug is not fixed.
