Ardougne Achievement Diary
This activity is very dynamic, involving different levels of tasks. Because of this, the activity risk ratings are given in the task summaries (found at the beginning of the Easy, Medium and Hard task listings).
Introduction
Your Achievement Diary will be available to you at all times. To access it, simply look at your Control Panel and choose the Achievement Diary symbol.

Starting
The Ardougne Achievement Diary contains tasks that can be completed by low, medium, and high level players.
What to wear is for you to decide, using your best judgment. Only selected tasks directly involve combat, so armour will not be necessary except for very low levels, who may want defence against ordinary monsters that exist around the towns. If you are going to fight a monster you might want armour and weapons. However, if you do not plan to do anything involving fighting and will be in a safe area, then lightweight clothing is suggested.
In general, Jagex allows players to use stat boosting items (such as potions, pies, ales or Evil Dave's stew) to increase a stat to do a diary task. However, player assist does not work.
The Ardougne teleport will be a big help in this diary, since it brings you to the centre of Ardougne, convenient to most of the locations.
Before you can begin fulfilling your Achievement Diary, you need to talk to any one of three NPCs. The following list shows the three NPCs and their locations:
- Doctor Orbon: East Ardougne Church
- Town Crier: Ardougne Square, near the market stalls
- Aleck: Yanille Hunter Shop
Once you've spoken to one of them, the city in your diary will turn yellow. The first time you complete a task in the diary, the level will turn yellow (showing that you've started the Diary, similar to the quest list.) If you click on the Diary, it pulls up a parchment list in your main game window. You can scroll through it to see the complete list of tasks.
Every time you finish a Diary task, you will get a message in your chat window stating that you've completed a task and it's been recorded in your Achievement Diary. Open the Diary and you'll see a red line has been marked through that task.
Once you've started the Diary, you can perform the tasks in any order and at the first three levels (Easy, Medium or Hard) that you wish.
With the Ardougne diary comes a new set of tasks: Elite. These only become available after completing the easy, medium, and hard tasks.
In order to help players plan effectively, a map showing the location for each task is available. It shows a code number for each task, which matches the lists in this guide. Check the map, bring what you need, and you're on your way!

In addition to the effects of the Ardougne cloak 1, these abilities are:
- Can teleport you to farming patch north of Ardougne once per day
- Reduces chance of being caught pickpocketing in Ardougne
