Ardougne Diary
Ardougne Diary
Diary
The Ardougne Achievement Diary is set in the area in and around ardougne. The rewards are claimed from an NPC named two-pints who can be found in the bar within East Ardougne.
The Ardougne Diary covers East and West Ardougne, Yanille and Port Khazard, reaching into the Ardougne Zoo, the Combat Training Camp, the Skavid Caves and the Legends' Guild. It suits mid-to-late game accounts: the easy tier asks only 5 Thieving and Rune Mysteries, while the elite tier demands 90 Agility, 91 Smithing and Cooking, and 94 Magic. Rewards are claimed from Two-pints in the Flying Horse Inn in East Ardougne.
The signature rewards are the Ardougne cloaks 1 to 4. Cloak 1 gives unlimited Ardougne Monastery teleports and doubled death runes when handing cats to West Ardougne civilians. Medium adds three daily Ardougne farm teleports, 100 free noted pure essence each day from Wizard Cromperty, a ring of life toggle to Ardougne, and extra runes at the Ourania Altar. Cloak 3 grants five farm teleports, a Watchtower Teleport toggle to central Yanille, and a 10% pickpocket bonus across all of Gielinor.
Prioritise the medium tier first: the farm-patch teleports and Wizard Cromperty's daily essence are useful immediately, and the hard tier's global pickpocket bonus is a major Thieving upgrade. The elite tier is worth chasing for 250 daily noted pure essence, 25% more marks of grace from the Ardougne Rooftop Course, and Bert delivering 84 buckets of sand to your bank every day. Ultimate Ironmen are ineligible for Bert's delivery and must fill a bucket from the sand pit instead.

Ardougne Diary FAQ
01What are the Ardougne Diary rewards?
Every completed tier of the Ardougne Diary unlocks permanent rewards. The signature reward is the Ardougne cloak (tiers 1-4): teleports to the Ardougne farm and monastery, thieving bonuses across Ardougne, and noted drops. Each tier also grants an antique lamp, and the elite tier adds the strongest region bonuses. Rewards are claimed from Two-pints.
02How do I upgrade the Ardougne cloak?
The Ardougne cloak upgrades through the four diary tiers: Easy unlocks tier 1, Medium tier 2, Hard tier 3, and Elite tier 4. Complete every task in a tier to claim its upgrade from Two-pints. Higher tiers keep the lower tier bonuses and add stronger effects.
03What changed for Ardougne diary tasks in August 2026?
12 Aug 2026: the northernmost Red Salamander spot at the Ourania Altar now completes the Hard Ardougne task. Several grapple shortcuts are usable barehanded at higher Agility (e.g. Yanille wall at 69), but diary tasks that name a grapple still require you to use the grapple.
04What is the Ardougne cloak 4 reward?
Ardougne cloak 4 gives unlimited teleports to the Ardougne farm patch, 250 free noted pure essence per day from Wizard Cromperty, 50% more fish from the Fishing Trawler, 25% more marks of grace from the Ardougne Rooftop Course, and 84 daily buckets of sand delivered by Bert. Ultimate Ironmen cannot receive Bert's sand delivery.
05Do I need Monkey Madness for the Ardougne diary?
Only the hard tier requires it. The task of having a zookeeper put you in Ardougne Zoo's monkey cage needs partial completion of Monkey Madness I and a Karamjan monkey greegree.
06Why does the Ardougne elite diary mention 800,000 Nightmare Zone points?
The elite task requires imbuing a salve amulet at the Nightmare Zone or equipping a Salve amulet(i). If you do not already have one, it costs 800,000 Nightmare Zone points, reduced to 400,000 with the hard Combat Achievements tier; Soul Wars and Emir's Arena imbues do not count.
07What are the requirements for the Ardougne Diary achievement diary?
Each Ardougne Diary diary has four tiers — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Elite — with higher tiers requiring higher skill levels, more quests, and tougher combat encounters. Expand each tier on this page to see the exact skill and quest requirements before you start.
08What are the rewards for the Ardougne Diary diary?
Every completed tier unlocks permanent rewards: the Easy tier grants basic utility, Medium upgrades your diary gloves, Hard improves teleport access and drop rates, and Elite grants the strongest bonuses in the region. Use this checklist to see every reward as you complete tiers.
09Which Ardougne Diary diary tier should I aim for first?
For most accounts the Medium tier is the first big milestone — the diary gloves upgrade saves inventory space and the teleports make future training much faster. Ironmen should prioritise diaries early because gloves, lamps, and teleport unlocks are account-wide and never require trading.
10Do achievement diary rewards matter for ironmen?
Yes. Diary rewards are some of the best account-wide unlocks in the game for ironmen: gloves, free daily teleports, clue scroll rewards, and the elite bonus drops. Most ironman progression guides schedule diaries early for exactly this reason.
