Berrakus Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you try to do the Varrock Diary tasks in the order that Jagex lists them you will be running around all over the place and doing a lot of needless, duplicate work. So I tried to group the tasks together and make routes that will help you complete the tasks a lot faster. This guide assumes that you have all of the necessary pre-requisites for each task and groups the Easy, Medium and Hard tasks together. (TIP - If you are within 6 Levels of the Farming or Smithing requirements, you can try making Dave's Evil Stew. If you decide to do this, then catch Hellrats in Evil Dave's Basement. Hellrats count towards getting your Cat Medal and you can stock up on the spices you will need for your stews) Some tasks couldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t be grouped together. These include: Select a colour for a new kitten ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ If you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have a kitten or non-overgrown cat, go to GertrudeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s house west of Varrock and talk to her while wearing a Ring of Charos(a). Buy a kitten and select itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s color. If you already have a kitten or non-overgrown cat, you must either wait for it to grow to an overgrown cat, release it, or trade it in West Ardougne for 100 Death Runes (if its not a kitten). Since you have to catch 100 rats with a non-overgrown cat, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s best to get a kitten and let it grow into a cat before you try catching the rats. So you might want to do this first. Teleport to the Digsite using a digsite pendant ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Go to any furnace with a Necklace Mould, a Gold Bar, a Cut Ruby, 1 Cosmic Rune, and 5 Fire Runes/Fire Staff. Craft a Ruby Necklace, enchant it, and use it to tele to the Digsite. Talk to Romily Weaklax and give him a wild pie ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Romily Weaklax is located on the ground floor of the Cooking Guild and you need a ChefÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Hat or Cooking Cape to enter the guild. Wild Pies cost around 10K to buy from another player or you can make your own with 85 cooking, raw bear, raw rabbit, and raw chompy meat. Obviously the raw chompy is the hardest ingredient to gather as they require Ogre/Composite Ogre Bow, Ogre/Brutal Arrows, Bellows, and Toads. If you decide to make your own, you may want to make several and sell them, as they had a decent market before this (because of the +5 Slayer effect), and their demand has gone up. Also, since the cooking level is so high, you may want to use the Lunar Bake Pie spell so you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t burn any. Make a Varrock teleport tablet on a mahogany lectern ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Luckily you can use anybodyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s lectern. You wouldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want to create a mahogany lectern just for this as the lectern requires gold leaf. Use the Home Teleport spell in the Ancient Magicks spellbook to teleport to Edgeville ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ If you arenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t on Ancients, the easiest way to do this is to use a PharaohÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Sceptre and use the last teleport option to go to the Ancient Magic Temple. Climb down the temple, go in the back entrance, and pray at the altar. Then use the Home Teleport Spell. Then use the PharaohÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Sceptre to switch back to normal Magic. If you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have a PharaohÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Sceptre, you will have to use Carpet Rides or a Camulet to get to the Ancient Magic Temple. I've grouped the rest of the tasks together, listed the items that are needed, and provided a route to follow: Items Needed: Poison Ivy seed (if you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t already have a grown Poison Ivy bush), any Pickaxe. Start Location: ChampionÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Guild south of Varrock (Combat Bracelet will tele you there) Enter and exit the ChampionÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Guild. Go to the bush patch just west of the Guild. Pick a Poison Ivy if you already have a grown Poison Ivy bush, otherwise plant a Poison Ivy seed (takes about 2 ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâý hours to grow). Head southeast and jump over the Fence and back. Head northeast to the southeast mining location and mine one iron ore.

Cancel out of the makeover. Head south down the road until you run into a stray dog. Use a bone on the dog. Head west to the Apothecary. The Apothecary will give you a Strength potion for 5gp, a Limpwurt Root, and a Red Spider Egg. Head east to the Anvil Room just west of Aubury's Rune Shop and smith an Addy Medium Helmet.

Head southeast through the gate and go into DimintheisÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s house. Drop your Family Crest Guantlets and ask Dimintheis for a new pair. Go into the Fancy Dress Shop next door and trade your 2 Dashing Kebbit furs and 800 gp for a Spottier Cape. Head North to the East Varrock Bank.

XxTearGodxX Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Awesome guide man, just got a quick question. How do I add rats to my ratpole? Also, how will I know when its full?

De_Lille_D Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Awesome guide man, just got a quick question. How do I add rats to my ratpole? Also, how will I know when its full? Will there be a pop up message in the chat screen or something? And how many rats is it for a full pole. Equip ratpole while hunting rats to add them (you'll get aksed if you want to add it or not). No idea how many for fulll pole... ON TOPIC: Good guide, maybe you should list all the requirements and items needed for easy, medium and hard tasks, so people know which one they can complete and have a list of what to get before begining. You should add a note to the part where you go charge an air battlestaff, to remind people not to take stuff they don't want to lose into wildy (,so you don't get "1 lost my st00f because of u! i h8s you and gonn4 rep0rt U for personal details!").

pokemama Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks for the grouping thing - will sticky this temporarily until Tip.It guide is up. Nice! it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.

Thanks. Added a Wilderness warning. Also, I was going to break it down into Easy/Medium/Hard, but some of the tasks overlap. For instance, you have to make a plank and then you have to make 20 Mahogany planks. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m just providing a path to get everything done at once (or as much done as you are capable of.) I meant a list of what task you have to complete for easy/medium/hard and their requirement (like in you diary, but without the scrolling down and requirements added) and of what items needed (I like to get stuff before I begin, so I don't have to stop in between tasks).

De_Lille_D Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Another thing: put the 3rd part before the 2nd (you get red spider eggs in the 3rd and you need some in the 2nd).

De_Lille_D Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Nice tips! I would have gone to the abyss area (with fairy rings), but this is faster! The rat thing is also good to know so i can just keep spices in my bank for future stews.
