Desert achievements

The Desert Tasks are the tasks relating to Kharidian Desert and its surrounding area, added on 21 January 2013. To complete all of the tasks, players will need the stats shown to the right. These members tasks, like all other members' task sets, have four difficulties ranging from easy to elite. Please note you must do the easy tasks first in order to claim rewards from medium, hard or elite. Two higher level requirements for the elite tasks include 91 Thieving and 89 Crafting. Some of the tasks include riding a magic carpet, mining granite and looting the engraved sarcophagus in Pyramid Plunder. They also include tasks from the Agility Pyramid and the Mage Training Arena.
