Overall it looks great.

However I do have a few 'opinions'.

• MLM exp boost might be a bit too high. If the dairy has something like a 95 non-boostable requirement my point is moot.

* Noted DKS bones should be an elite reward.

• Mole locator is better placed in the hard rewards.

• How much is a small fee according to the Nardah herbalist? We get too little info here.

• Free noted pure ess seems like a useless reward.

• Why were we not given the stats on all the task set items except for the cloak? Should we just see them as cosmetics?

• Will the exp lamps from the karamja tasks be boosted to match the other tasks? Will be a bit weird otherwise.

That was all i think. Great first draft guys, looking forward to more information! ^_^

XP lamps
- These seem fair enough although I don't really see any point in giving these out, they just seem like "XP just because you did something"

Ardounge
50% more fish & marks of grace seems very high, I know its an elite diary but 25% should be enough to make a difference.

Falador
- Prayer restore would be powerful, I dont know if rs3 has that but I dont like it.
- 10% more experience of the falador farm is very powerful, perhaps change this to yield 10% more crops.
-10% & 20% more experience from mining pay dirt is powerful, it's already the best XP with banking ore you can get. Perhaps change this so you can get paydirt faster or have a chance of getting more pay dirt in 1 swing

Fremenik
- Sounds perfect

*andarin
- Extra logs when cutting normal trees, this should be like a 10% chance, then as you complete the harder clues it moves to 50%.
- Coal trucks increasing your coal is good, but 240, 208 and 200 coal banked is very powerful. Perhaps make it so 250 is the max coal and you can pay an NPC a few GP to bank 200 coal a day.
- 10 % extra experience a day for maples is powerful, perhaps a 10% chance of getting two logs.
- Skipping a barbarian assault wave once per day. How would this happen. do you need a full team to do it? This doesn't sound very practical
- 50% discount from otto, this seems like a lot, perhaps a 25% discount would be better.

Karamja
- One fight cave resurrection per day. What exactly is this? does it mean you can die and get full health again.

Lumbridge & draynor
- In*eased Xp from tears of guthix. How much? I want to know if it would be too much or not.

Mortania
- 50% more prayer experience from shade remains. This is a lot of XP bonus, I'd suggest making it faster.
- Double runes from barrows should be elite diary, and 25% should be hard
- 10% more xp at the slayer tower when on task. This is a lot of XP, perhaps you get an increased drop table from them
- 50% more firemaking experience from shade remains. I'd suggest making it faster instead of more bonus XP

Western provinces
- Ability to upgrade void top and bottom to have +3 prayer bonus should be elite, and +2 should be hard.
- I'm also unsure about how powerful the crystal halberd will be, I have a feeling it'll be similar to the granite clamp (Which shouldn't be in game because it didn't pass a poll).

Wilderness
- 50% more lava shards, this should start as 10% and increase up to 50% for the elite rewards
____
Generally I think less XP based rewards and more chances of getting items faster or getting multiple items at once.

Doubling up on skipping a wave @ BA. Does that mean your whole team skips one wave? Do you get rewarded for it, or is it just a skipped wave? Everybody cares about things that nobody cares about.

Mod Ronan already stated that a lot of the elites require 90+ stats and the falador one requires a 99 (Perform skillcape emote) so all of these are justified I say. Just because we don't know the requirements for the diary's doesn't mean the rewards are overpowered. Elites will be VERY hard to get.

Keep in mind that Elite rewards will need 90+ in a lot of skills and most of us will be unable to do it. Most people are not taking that into account. Despite that there's still a few rewards that are overpowered/pointless.

Kandarian:
• Able to skip one barbarian assault wave once per day - This one seems pointless as you probably won't get the points and all your team will have to do this. Id suggest a 10% increase in points per wave which will give you about 30-40 extra points per full round (from wave 1 to 10).

Karamja:
• One fight cave resurrection per day - By the time you finish this Elite task most people should already have Fire cape. It seems a bit OP and pointless at the same time. Why not change this with the ability to buy the new Jad pet as a trade for example for like 50 fire capes?
• Noted red dragonhide from Brimhaven dungeon - Red dragons are dead content right now and while most high levels wouldn't kill these dragons (unless something like this would happen) I do think the shortcut would help a lot but I'd suggest having it in the Hard tasks instead of Elites. As for this one, just no.

Desert:
• The Nardah herbalist will create unfinished potions for a small fee - This is just way too OP. Please no.

Morytania:
• Cannonball smithing time is halved in Port Phasmatys - Have mixed feeling about this one but I'd rather see it as a Hard task reward and not Medium.

Western Provinces:
• Access to a locked room under the temple on Ape Atoll - More info about this??

Wilderness:
• Can have 4 ecumenical keys at a time - Do you have to be wielding Wildy sword? All good if not.

The ones about Fally and Mole seem OP but currently people only kill it for the pet. I doubt really high lvl ppl would take that much advantage from the Mole locator. I'm assuming you don't have to be wielding the Fally shield on this one too.
As for the others I didn't talk about I agree with them

I have mixed feelings about some of these rewards, but I like most of them.

I'd like to see more stats for some of the items (like wilderness sword) and more info on which rewards will require the items, and which won't.

I'm kind of disappointed to not see the Enhanced Excalibur, but I can see why it wasn't added.

Do you really think anyone will care for free access to Shilo furnace from elite diary, when you're adding Edgeville furnace from Varrock easy? Make free access sooner from Karamja diaries, and/or add some other benefit to the furnace.

Explorer's ring 4 should grant more daily 50% energy boosts, or maybe 75% instead, rather than fewer 100% boosts, so you don't have to wait until your energy is drained to get the full benefit.

Should the should the Morytania legs have a teleport? perhaps to Morton?

Why no cooking guild bank access from Varrock armor? Make it a hard reward please.

For the most part, this looks good. Hope to see more on the tasks soon.
