lighting a bullseye lantern
Anyone know if a sapphire lantern will work for this task? --nekobawt 23:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No. I tried, so that is why it got added to the page under medium tasks tips. [[Image:Guthix cloak.gif]] Invincibility |Talk| |Edit Count| [[Image:Iceburst.png]] 02:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Inaccurate edit
"Due to Yew or Magic Seed required to complete this diary, prices quickly rose even before the achievement diary was released."

They rose due to the quest "while guthix sleeps" not because of the achievement diary. I know because i was one of the people making the prices rise ;)
 * Lol...Think about it, If prices rose before it was released, how would they even know it would be needed? >.< 01:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

assist system
can it really be used?  floppyc5    02:27, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is technically a "bug", where the "official knowledge base" article states that you can't (in this case "shouldn't") use the assist feature in order to complete this portion of the achievement diary. Use at your own risk.... as sometimes Jagex punishes players who deliberately exploit known bugs.  --Robert Horning 14:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

sweetcorn not working?
I planted sweetcorn, made it grow, watered it regurarly, had a scarecrow... Still had no Achievement diary update. There are people with me who have the same problem. Anyone any idea what I done wrong? Therealmagicrune 13:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I had the same problem but after my Sweetcorn grew a little bit, I dug out and re-planted the Scarecrow which worked. Hope that helps! 13:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks i'll try. Have to get more seeds though... Luckily Vinesweeper can give 3 sweetcorn seeds in 2 minutes. Therealmagicrune 13:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Clearly there is a proper sequence to follow, but I am not sure of it. A friend of mine had to re-plant 4 times to hit the right sequence, yet I got it on the first try.  My order:  I weeded, composted, and planted a herb seed (probably useless, but I was in the neighborhood so I wanted to max my farming xp). I weeded, composted, planted corn, then watered in the east plot. I weeded, composted, planted corn, then watered in the west plot.  Last, I weeded and planted my scarecrow in the flower plot.  I got the task completion messaged immeadiately.   Hatchenator 13:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I also had the same problem. It turns out that you have to plant the scarecrow WHILE the corn is growing, not before. Plant the sweetcorn, water it, and wait for the first growth spurt. Then plant the scarecrow, and the task will be complete. You don't even need to wait for the corn to completely grow.

Or you could do what the two people above me did, who I conveniently had edit conflicts with. >.< 14:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

This seems to have changed now. I already had a scarecrow there and all I had to do was plant the sweetcorn seeds. 22:42, 18 December (UTC)

Spicy stews?
I assume that any stat boost won't work for the lvl 70 prayer for the hard tasks, but will a spicy stew work to get lvl 66 runecrafting for the 196 air runes? Or for any of the other skill requirements?


 * Actually, stat boosts might just work for prayer. I need to check, but you might want to try out the Spa facilities at Oo'glog (requires As a First Resort... quest to be completed).  I need to try that out at least.  It seems like this might not work, but it is worth trying.


 * As for the runecrafting stat boost.... you might want to have somebody "assist" you in the effort (not using the skill assist feature, however). It requires eating the stew, trading the bowl for some rune essence, and crafting the runes in a short period of time before the effects wear off.  An alternative would be to bring a small ess pouch, eat the stew, drop two ess + bowl, drop the pouch, empty the pouch, drop the pouch, then grab the two ess to quickly craft the runes.  Both sound rather complicated to me.
 * Either that or bring a beast of burden with you that carries the stews, where you do an ess drop, eat the stews, then grab the ess real quick. Just some ideas worth trying.


 * The point is you have to have 28 essence at the same time in order to make it work properly. --Robert Horning 01:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Volatile Hammer
I crafted the limbs with my Volatile hammer, the sound "sounded" and it said I completed a task but the Diary itself wont accept that. So just use a normal Hammer.Duckmartins 22:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * PS Now I crafted another limbs (5 with the Volatile) and its still not counting, bug report time![[Image:Pith_helmet.png|Pith helmet]]Duckmartins 22:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Explorer's Ring Used?
Ive recently been runecrafting with my Explorers Ring. I have below 66 runecrafting and managed to make 166(?) air runes. After looking through the article, I wasnt able to find this mentioned. Not 100% sure if this is a usable method as cannot try it till Christmas. If someone would like to try, note that it takes a couple loads as the Explorer's Ring's boost is random.
