The Varrock Tasks are the tasks relating to northern Misthalin. The Varrock Tasks were the second group of tasks, released on 10 September 2007. The easy NPC for these tasks is Rat Burgiss found down the road south of Varrock at the File:Questicon.PNG icon. Note that even though non-members can complete the easy tasks, they cannot talk to Rat Burgiss to claim the rewards. They can, however, talk to Explorer Jack in Lumbridge to claim coins for the rewards they can complete. The medium NPC for these tasks is Reldo found in the Varrock Palace Library at the File:Questicon.PNG icon. The hard NPC for these tasks is Vannaka found in the Edgeville Dungeon at the File:Slayer master icon.png icon. They will be indicated by a Task map icon icon on your minimap and the world map.

Map of Medium Tasks

Notes

  • Task #1: Finish all of the dialogue including after you receive the potion or the achievement won't be updated.
  • Task #3: The portal is near the east entrance, with a bit walking to the north.
  • Task #4: Six rats need to be caught. These do not need to be caught in the same house as in the quest, though. Instead, it is suggested to be caught directly under the Sewers.
  • Task #7: You must first complete the Stronghold of Security. The four emotes are Idea, Stomp, Flap and Slap Head.
  • Task #8: You can get another cat and keep the one you have by storing the one you have in the menagerie in your player-owned-house. Also, you complete the task when the selection screen comes up: you can just walk away when this screen appears, and not have to buy a kitten, to complete the task.
  • Task #11: First, learn to make a digsite pendant at the Varrock Museum. You don't need to dig up another pendent to make into a digsite pendent, just enchant a ruby necklace after you learn the spell. (Note: During the quest Temple at Senntisten if you choose to teleport to the digsite using a Digsite pendant, this counts towards the task being completed.) Unpatched as of 7 April 2010
  • Task #15: Vannaka is in the middle of the Edgeville Dungeon, the fastest way to reach him is to use the Agility shortcut from Varrock Sewers.
  • Task #16: Using Special Mahogany Logs won't work.
  • Task #17: White tree fruit is only available when Garden of Tranquility is finished.
  • Task #18: It's wise to go to either Entrana or Taverley as you only need one normal log. You must do a voyage to Varrock first, which requires 10 Willow Logs
  • Task #19: Your character will say when your cat catches 100 rats. After this talk to Gertrude to get your medal.
  • Task #20: The Fairy Ring Code is D-K-R.
  • Task #21: Oziach's shop is located at the northwest of Edgeville.

Map of Hard Tasks

Notes

  • Task #1: The farm patch is west of the Champion's Guild. Boosts will work for this task. (Garden Pies boost you'r farming level by 3, hence they are the best option. You need to boost both while planting the seed, as well as checking the health of the plant once grown.)
  • Task #1, #4: The Spicy stew works for all tasks. It can grant anywhere from a -6 to a +6. However there is only a 1/60 chance to a +6. This allows level 64 farming for the bush, and level 67 smithing for the helmet.
  • Task #3: The Fancy-dress shop owner is located south-east of the eastern Varrock bank.
  • Task #5: If 153 kudos have already been collected, just talk to Orlando. See the Varrock Museum for information on obtaining Kudos.
  • Task #6: Romily Weaklax roams on the ground level of the Chef's Guild. Buy the pie at the Grand exchange, instead of making them yourself.
  • Task #8: If your POH is already decorated with a tropical wood or fancy stone finish, and you want to keep it like that, it would be cheapest to switch to a basic wood or stone finish and switch back to a tropical wood or fancy stone finish, costing between 20-30k. (Or, if you have completed Love story, Dark stone is the slightly cheaper alternative)
  • Task #9: You can get this achievement on any Mahogany Eagle Lectern. Always double check to make sure it is gilded.
  • Task #10: You need to first destroy your previous gauntlets if you still have them and then talk to Dimintheis again.

Rewards

  • Varrock armour 3 - In addition to the easy and medium tasks' reward, when worn:
    • Chance of smelting two bars at once when smelting ores up to and including adamantite in Edgeville furnace
    • Chance of Mining two ores at once when Mining ores up to and including adamantite
    • 64 Battlestaves are now available daily for purchase from Zaff's magic shop
  • Access to new bank area in the Cooks' Guild ground floor with range in bank lobby
  • Access the Cooks' Guild without a chef's hat
  • Option to change your Varrock teleport to the Grand Exchange by talking to Vannaka.
  • An Antique lamp - 10,000 experience in any skill with a minimum level of 50.

A Ton of Earth Craft 100 or more earth runes simultaneously None 78 Runecrafting Can be done with as low as 66 Runecrafting and a bit of luck [1]. This is actually possible at level 65 or less, as a player in the free game crafted 101 earth runes from 28 essence without the following bonus. The explorer's ring's bonus runes ability will not help here; if you only crafted 100 or more runes due to the special effect it will not count, though you can still use the ring for some bonus runes while attempting this task.

Rewards

When worn:
  • Five free bolt enchantments per day (up to and including ruby bolts)
At all times:
  • Zaff's apprentice, Naff, will sell you up to 80 battlestaves per day
  • Varrock's estate agent offers half price housing costs
  • Bork's charm and gem drops are doubled.
  • Access to the log storage boxes near the Fired Up beacons.

  • Option to change your Varrock teleport to the altar in northern Varrock by talking to Vannaka.
  • Antique lamp - 3 x 40,000 experience in the skill of your choice level 88 and over.
  • Antique lamp - 30,000 experience in the skill of your choice level 65 and over.
  • Note: Stat boost won't work for the experience lamps.

Trivia

  • When at the sawmill using Mahogany Planks for the Flat Back Task, using Special Logs to transform your inventory logs into planks will not make the task become complete.
  • 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 tasks.
  • The reward from all armours used to include better prices when buying and selling from Varrock stores, but was replaced with a higher chance at receiving Skull Sceptre parts on 2 September 2009 along with the Personalised Shops Update.
  • The task Waka, Waka, Waka may be a reference to the song, "Waka Waka," or the sound Pac-Man makes while moving.
  • There was a bug on 25 May, 2011, the task A Bolt From the Blue does not register making 10 rune bolts and adding feathers to the bolts. Therefore in order to complete the task you must have 10 rune bars and use the "x" option then select "100" once all 100 rune bolts (unf) have been made you can click to add feathers and the task will then be complete. This has been fixed.
  • The task Dial v for Varrock may be a play on the Columbo film Dial m for Murder.
