The Varrock achievements are Exploration achievements relating to northern Misthalin.

The NPCs for the easy, medium, hard, and elite achievement sets are indicated by a icon on the minimap and the world map. These are Rat Burgiss found down the road south of Varrock, Reldo in the Varrock Palace Library, and Vannaka in the Edgeville Dungeon at the icon, respectively.

The rewards for this achievement set include the Varrock armour and experience lamps giving a total of 166,000 experience in skills. A player must obtain each Varrock armour in chronological order (e.g. medium achievements must be completed before the reward for hard achievements is available).

If the armour is lost, it can be retrieved from the NPC who gave the player the armour; Rat Burgiss for the Varrock armour 1, Reldo for the Varrock armour 2, and Vannaka for the Varrock armour 3 and 4.

This set of achievements is required for the Task Master achievement of the completionist cape.

Trivia

• The Varrock achievements were the second group of achievements released.
• 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 achievements.
• The rewards formerly included better prices when buying and selling from Varrock stores, but this was replaced with a higher chance at receiving skull sceptre parts on 2 September 2009 along with the Personalised Shops update.
