Seers' Village achievements

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 1/30) If using the spicy stew, train for the extra level because a +5 boost is more common (1/10).

Easy tasks
Items needed: 5 empty pots, 5 cider, 3 coins, big fishing net, bucket of milk, 3 jute seeds, a few Camelot teleports (recommended).

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 players talk to Geoffrey and get flax with a lower level headband, then get 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 players 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.
