Varrock achievements

The Varrock Tasks are the tasks relating to northern Misthalin. The Varrock Tasks were the second group of tasks, released on 10 September 2007. The easy NPC for these tasks is Rat Burgiss found down the road south of Varrock at the icon. Note that even though non-members can complete the easy tasks, they cannot talk to Rat Burgiss to claim the rewards. They can, however, talk to Explorer Jack in Lumbridge to claim coins for the rewards they can complete. The medium NPC for these tasks is Reldo found in the Varrock Palace Library at the icon. The hard NPC for these tasks is Vannaka found in the Edgeville Dungeon at the icon. They will be indicated by a icon on your minimap and the world map.

Trivia

 * The Task Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a reference to a cult classic movie of the same name. (May also be a reference to the song, "Faster Kill Pussycat" by Brittany Murphy.)
 * When at the sawmill using Mahogany Planks for the Flatpack Backpack task, using Special Logs to transform your inventory logs into planks will not complete the task. It is not known whether this is intentional or not.
 * When the Defender of Varrock quest was released, the Kudos requirement remained 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 tasks.
 * 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.
 * There was a bug on 25 May, 2011, the task A Bolt From the Blue does not register making 10 rune bolts and adding feathers to the bolts. Therefore in order to complete the task you must have 10 rune bars and use the "x" option then select "100" once all 100 rune bolts (unf) have been made you can click to add feathers and the task will then be complete. This has been fixed.
 * The task Dial v for Varrock may be a play on the Hitchcock film Dial m for Murder.
 * The task Royale with Thieve is a reference to the quote "Royale with Cheese", said in the movie "Pulp Fiction"
 * The task But It Won't Warp You Anywhere is a reference to Mario games in which pipes can be used to warp to different areas.
 * The task Waka-Waka-Waka is a reference to the arcade game Pacman where Pacman makes the same sound when he eats a dot.
 * The task Relocation, Relocation, Relocation is a reference to the phrase "Location, Location, Location."
 * The task It Belongs In a Museum may be a reference to a quote in Indiana Jones: The last Crusade where he continually says that the Cross of Coronado "belongs in a museum".
 * The task Engage may make reference to Star Trek. The required quest makes several references to the television series and "engage" is the order for the helmsman of the starship to activate the engines.
 * The task Double-strength Weaksauce may be a reference to the dystopian novel Ninteen Eighty-Four, in which a new language called "Newspeak" is used for shortening vocabulary. For example, the term "Double-plus ungood" means "Very, very bad" in English.
 * The task Journey to the Centre of the Earth Altar is a reference to the book "Journey to the Centre of the Earth".
 * The task You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry is a reference to the movie "The Incredible Hulk".
