The Ardougne Diary is a set of achievement diaries whose tasks revolve around areas in and near East Ardougne, such as West Ardougne, Yanille and Port Khazard.

To complete all of the tasks, players will need the stats shown in the infobox to the right. Unless stated otherwise, temporary skill boosts can be used for all of the diary tasks.

Players looking to claim their rewards can do so from Two-pints in the Flying Horse Inn in East Ardougne. Note that players must complete a diary of a previous tier to claim the next tier's rewards; for example, players must do the easy and medium tasks in order to claim rewards from the hard tasks.

Easy

Items Required

Around 100 coins Silk (Note that if you steal silk from the silk stall, the silk trader will not talk to you for 30 minutes to 1 hour, and cannot be bypassed by hopping worlds.) Rusty sword (More may be needed; it may be a good idea to bring a few extras. These are found by pick-pocketing H.A.M Members, or by digging in Level 1 sites at the Digsite if the quest has been started.) A knife or slashing weapon (To be safe, not needed, but you have to use the lever to the Wilderness.)
