Kandarin Diary
Kandarin Diary
Diary
The Kandarin Achievement Diary is set within the north of Kandarin, such as Seers Village, Catherby and Barbarian Outpost. The rewards are claimed from an NPC named The Wedge who can be found outside the entrance to Camelot.
The Kandarin Diary covers Seers' Village, Catherby, Hemenster and the Barbarian Outpost, with tasks in the Elemental Workshop, Waterfall Dungeon, McGrubor's Wood and the Ranging Guild. The 'Wedge' waits outside Camelot's entrance to hand out rewards. The easy tier needs only Elemental Workshop I started, 20 Agility and 16 Fishing, while the medium and hard tiers are popular mid-game goals because they unlock the Catherby herb patch bonus and Barbarian Assault rewards.
The Kandarin headgear 1 to 4 is the reward. Easy makes the headgear a light source and doubles logs from normal trees. Medium speeds up the Seers' spinning wheel, adds 10% more maple XP in Seers' Village and a 5% Catherby herb harvest-life save. Hard gives a daily Sherlock teleport, cheaper battlestaff enchanting, 308-capacity coal trucks, 15% more marks of grace and a 10% higher enchanted bolt special activation chance. Elite gives unlimited Sherlock teleports, 200 coal auto-banked daily and half-price Zamorakian hasta conversion.
Prioritise the hard tier for the enchanted bolt proc bonus and the Camelot Teleport toggle to the Seers' Village bank, both strong for combat and clue hunting. The elite tier is worth it for unlimited Sherlock teleports, the daily auto-banked coal and 250 flax-to-bowstring trades. Ironmen will appreciate the Catherby herb patch save chance, but the elite tier needs 90 Smithing, 86 Herblore and 85 Crafting and Firemaking.

Kandarin Diary FAQ
01What are the Kandarin Diary rewards?
Every completed tier of the Kandarin Diary unlocks permanent rewards. The signature reward is the Kandarin headgear (tiers 1-4): utility bonuses across Kandarin, including noted drops and improved minigame rewards. Each tier also grants an antique lamp, and the elite tier adds the strongest region bonuses. Rewards are claimed from The 'Wedge'.
02How do I upgrade the Kandarin headgear?
The Kandarin headgear 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 The 'Wedge'. Higher tiers keep the lower tier bonuses and add stronger effects.
03What is the Kandarin headgear 4 reward?
Kandarin headgear 4 gives unlimited teleports to Sherlock, automatically banks the first 200 coal placed in the coal trucks each day, exchanges 250 noted flax for 250 noted bowstrings daily, and grants a 15% Catherby herb harvest-life save plus half-price Thormac battlestaff enchanting and Zamorakian hasta conversion.
04What does the Kandarin hard diary unlock for combat?
The hard tier increases the activation chance of enchanted bolt special effects by 10%, even in PvP, and lets you toggle Camelot Teleport to just outside the Seers' Village bank.
05Do I need 70 Prayer for the Kandarin hard diary?
Yes. Entering the Seers' Village courthouse with Piety active requires 70 Prayer and 70 Defence, plus completion of King's Ransom and the Knight Waves Training Grounds.
06What are the requirements for the Kandarin Diary achievement diary?
Each Kandarin 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.
07What are the rewards for the Kandarin 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.
08Which Kandarin 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.
09Do 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.
