Changes: Seers' Village achievements

Revision as of 07:45, 19 June 2009

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: Empty pot, 5 cider, 3 coins, big fishing net, bucket of milk(or a bucket as you can milk the cows in Sinclair Mansion), 3 jute seeds, a seed dibber, a Rake, a few Camelot teleports (recommended).

Tips

When buying a candle, make sure it is a WHITE candle, as black candles will not complete the task.
To save time, 5 flax can be picked first and spun later.
Buy cider from the bar under Miscellania (Fairy code : C-I-P) for 2 coins each (after the Royal Trouble quest.)
The cider may be used on the same person 5 times, without having to run around.
When walking around the statue make sure that your run is off, to make the task easier. It is more difficult to run around the statue without pausing if you are running.
Also when walking around the statue, start at one corner then click on the corner diagonal to it; continue this process to make it a lot easier.

Rewards

Seers' headband 1
Headband counts as a dim light source
Talk to Geoffrey in the flax field to claim 30 free flax per day
Coal trucks will hold 140 coal
Extra log given when cutting normal trees anywhere (you only get experience for 1)
1,000 experience lamp - in any chosen skill above level 30

Medium tasks

Items needed: Pickaxe, big fishing net, longbow, Bronze arrows, Pyrelord pouch (or Forge regent pouch), Battered key, fishbowl, seaweed (from Arhein for 2 coins), 10 coins (for Tiny net), a few Camelot teleports (recommended)

Tips

The "Killing one guard in each tower" task will only be completed if a regular wood longbow is used. You can use only bronze or iron arrows. Protection prayer may be used.
The "Killing one guard in each tower" task must also be completed without leaving the tower. If the player leaves at any time, the previous kills will not be counted.
Longbow and Bronze arrows are both on sale at Dargaud's Bows and Arrows inside the Ranging Guild.
It is possible to bring the coal from Seers' Village bank to the closest coal truck, if you already have 120 coal. This will save the time taken to mine the coal.
If mining the coal yourself, time can be saved by wearing Varrock armour 1 or higher
Archery tickets may be bought or traded with a friend.

Rewards

Seers' headband 2
Headband functions as a medium Light source
Ability to get 60 flax a day from Geoffrey
Coal trucks will hold 168 coal
Ability to get 10% more experience (110 experience instead of 100) from cutting maples while wearing Seers' headband 2.
Extra log given when cutting normal trees anywhere
5,000 experience lamp

Hard tasks

Items needed: Combat bracelet, Hatchet, knife, Dramen staff (or Lunar staff), tinderbox, 2 Magic logs, bow string, harpoon, 5 unpowered orbs, Mith grapple, crossbow, Cooking gauntlets, 15 cosmic runes, 150 water runes, 1 nature rune, 5 fire runes.

Tips

The fastest route from Catherby to Water Obelisk is to use the various agility shortcuts such as one-way grapple up the cliff to Taverley, and Blue dragon pipe shortcut.
For those with a high Firemaking level, it is recommended not to light the Magic log with a bow or a Summoning familiar - the task will not be completed this way.
A knife respawns in the house south-west of the bank.

Rewards

Seers' headband 3. When worn, this allows:
- 120 flax a day from Geoffrey
- Significant increase in speed while using the Spinning wheel in Seers' Village. Each flax takes just over one second to spin when worn.
- Cheaper enchant for mystic staves from Thormac (27,000 coins instead of 40,000), at the Sorcerer's Tower
- Chance of producing more arrows than normal when Fletching
- Slight prayer boost at Seer's Village altar (+2)
- use as a bright Light source
- Bonus 10 experience per maple tree when using Woodcutting to chop maple trees anywhere
- Bonus log when woodcutting regular trees anywhere.
- Ability to receive Enhanced excalibur - Players may talk to the Lady of the Lake to upgrade Excalibur, which will have stats comparable to a Rune longsword and a new special attack that, in addition to a greater Defence boost, will heal 4 Hitpoints every two seconds up to five times, for a total of 20 HP.

Other rewards:
- Coal trucks hold 196 coal
- Teleport to Camelot spell will teleport players to the centre of Seers' Village (this does not apply to the Camelot teleport tablet, though)
- 10,000 experience lamp

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.
While giving you the first headband, the seer mentions that Geoffrey prefers to be called "Flax".
