The Kandarin Diary is an Achievement Diary whose tasks revolve around areas in and near the northern part of Kandarin, such as Seers' Village, Catherby, and the Barbarian Outpost.

Several skill, quest, and item requirements are needed to complete all tasks. Unless stated otherwise, temporary skill boosts can be used to meet the skill requirements.

Rewards can be claimed from The 'Wedge' outside the entrance to Camelot. Tasks may be done in any order, but the previous tiers of a diary must be completed to claim rewards of the next tier.

Trivia

• In RuneScape 3, this diary is known as the Seers' Village achievement set, which gives the reward of the Seer's headband. The first Kandarin headgear pays homage to this, as it is a leather headband that transforms into a helm after higher tiers are completed.
• There were a few hints from the Old School RuneScape team about the enhanced excalibur before the diary update, but it wasn't added due to the fact that it would devalue the Saradomin godsword and Guthan's set.
• The task to equip a granite platebody would reset when the item was banked. This was later fixed.
