they need to poll the diaries separately. I can see enough resistance to a wilderness diary (most of us do not want to feed pkers ego's with easy kills) that it could kill all the diaries if you bundle them together. pkers are not a large enough group to get a wilderness diary pushed though on their on. unless the things can be complete without having to feed pkers, they will likely get nothing. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

Sounds great, I hope the elite tasks pass. Not sure about repeatable tasks though, I'd rather not be forced to complete that daily to get the most experience/hour anywhere where there are tasks.

Also wait, 10 new diaries?

We only have 11 slots total (one is ammo) and one is already taken (Karamja gloves). We won't be able to wear all our diary gear at the same time unless we're given some kind of diary ammo?

I don't mind seeing this in the game, But If I see a single bit of it when I don't want to, I will be royally ******. Please make sure to add a disable option. I don't want it to be like rs3 where you get some stupid achievement when walking into a new place, or when you fart, or breathe.

Absolutely cannot wait for achievement diaries. I agree with several other players this is a great time to introduce the trimmed quest cape which would be rewarded after all quests completed of course, plus the addition of all hard/elite achievements.

I would like to see the old diary rewards reintroduced into the game obviously with the addition of some new ones (wilderness diary). I definitely enjoyed the cabbage patch ring, Falador shield and Ardougne cloak. I never obtained the other old rewards but would like the opportunity to. :)

As for repeatable tasks + rewards I'm not sure how I feel about this, it seems like everytime the idea of repeatable daily content gets introduced to the game it brings up the additional idea of items that will increase xp rates. I think this is ridiculous and agree with other players. I dont want to have to complete a set amount of tasks every day to be able to get the best xp in game. That would severely throw off game balance. If you guys could come up with ideas for other rewards that would effect xp rates or any other game significant things I would be interested in hearing them*

**;DR: Love achievement diaries, add trimmed quest cape, add old diary rewards, will probably vote no to repeatable daily tasks depending on what you guys do with rewards for those specifically. :)

Can u poll each Achievement Diary individual?

EDIT: Use the tasks that are cuurently on RS3 those tasks are from back in the day when they got introduced.

Okay yes I'd like to see some tasks from rs3 get added again but take off those nostalgia glasses and let's get them some entirely new tasks out their ffs. *´¨)¸.*´ Kilot ~ Failed RuneScape player.

Quest Cape (t) for completing all hard achievement diaries and quests.
-Allows your cape to offer you special teleport location options.
-Red trim on the cape.

Elite Quest Cape for completing all elite achievement diaries and quests.
-Allows your cape to offer additional special teleport location options.
-Acts as an upgraded accumulator (returns arrows/bolts even while behind objects).
-Has the skillcape hood attached to it, but hanging down instead of on the character's head.
-Much more elegant design, similar to the Max cape.
-Recharges run energy much faster. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

I'm not sure I like the idea of replayable diaries, they aren't exactly the more fun content at the time of doing them (I've always considered them to be more for the achievement, accomplishment and/or rewards). Also adding 10 daily activities in one update seems like overkill, I'd prefer to have one activity that requires you to complete a certain task(s) from each area. My other problem with daily content is that it can't have very good rewards without becoming a bit OP. With a weekly activity you can give people a larger reward for a short activity which makes it more worth doing and have less impact as a training and/or moneymaking method.

Also, it would be nice to get a sense of what the reward items would be before polling. Some of the rewards when diaries were released on the other game had some effects on combat and I don't like non combat skilling levels giving untradable boosts in combat. Especially with elite diaries which are likely to require some very high level stats to complete them.
