I feel like when it comes to actually unlocking everything the Hard diaries are by far the most valuable. The Elites may expand upon that, but the Hards are the ones that unlock most of the things like choosing destinations on obelisks, more runes in barrows chest, elite void, bone crusher, etc.
@@loganwebb5086 I’ve been doing gem mine lately and it’s actually good xp and money. I’m at 81 right now and I made like 2m from 80-81 and took me a little over 3 hours at ~55k an hour
Didnt really care for your ratings, but it was nice to re-familiarize all the diaries and their rewards. Sometimes you forget which each one does. Especially the ones you don't use often. Thanks
To prevent confusion, note that 'X% change to save herb life" doesnt mean it prevents it from dying, you get an X% extra change to harvest more herb from that patch before depleting.
Something I think you should have mentioned/included in your weighting is the fact that the Lumbridge and Ardougne diary items also provide very easily obtainable prayer bonus for the back and ring slots for mid levels and Ironmen.

You missed some of the actual items that are really good. The Rada's blessing 4 and Ardougne cloak 4 are two pieces of BiS gear slots which you looked over entirely. Those two alone I'd put an extra point in each.

Why is the mole locator ranked so high compared to the Kalphite queen shortcut and ropes? Both are basically essential for pet hunting their respective boss. Certainly Desert 1-3 is useless, but the unlimited Nardah teleport for the ornate pool effect + 10% hp, and the KQ shortcut make Desert 4 pretty good in my opinion.
Wtf r u writing about. Mole is more money and much more afk. Not to mention it only requires dharock set and a rock cake, also only requires a hard diary not elite. KQ is not afk in the slightest, requires an item switch and even with elite diary requires banking, something that is very delayed with mole.
@@SkyzTwon I look at it like this. if you have 99 con and dont really need the hp boost for pvm, pool 100%. if you need the stat boost for solo pvm, nardah is better imo
Nardah is overrated. In poh you have access to bank/pvm teleports seconds away from pool, 8 more hp at the cost of heal + teleports is not worth it in most cases. You'd be better off using angler to overheal, especially for pvm. Also, if you die in your poh (from delayed pvp hits/venom), you keep everything, don't need to waste time traveling back and picking up stuff.
Gr8 B8 M8 yeah I agree, you’re going to have to teleport out of nardah anyway, so may aswell teleport straight to house, the extra inv space used for the amulet could be filled with a lobster, so then you’ve already got 12hp extra for the trip
Desert elite??? You really thing that infinite tele to nardah to restore pretty much everything is not helpful? In some cases is even better than the pool in your house for the extra restores in your stats ...
Houses do most everything nardah can do, and if you want to go to nardah really bad their teles have been around 3000 gp for the last year (until a recent spike that I can't be sure will continue). I don't think it is that much of an improvement, although it does have a use.
@@SmallExpLamp idk, nardah elite tele is better than house tele unless you need a stat restore, nardah does everything but that and give you a 10% boost to hp I believe with no load time like your house does. Better than most elite rewards imo.
@@June-gq9me nardah shrine is meta for most boss grinds that require to bank often and don't require a fairy ring to get to for example: vork and zulrah even when maxed it's more efficient to use the shrine
Never understood the ardy easy 10% chance to steal from stalls. Like if there is no guard or shop keeper there, isn't it always just 100%? Can't say I've ever randomly failed stealing from a stall.
I like the ardy diary (even just getting easy done only) for the cloak that gives a free prayer bonus. Also, the Varrock armor is great for 1 def pures.
In the dessert ones, i think the Elite is kinda OP . Unlimited teles to Nardah where you have the statue you can pray to fully restore your stats and there is also a bank. Pretty nice if you dont have a house and dont want to use duel rings.
Looks like many people think I undervalued this one. In my experience I've never really needed to go their, since my house does most everything, and nardah teles are typically 3k, so I didn't feel it was a great improvement but I can see how others would depending on the situation!
You missed that the ardy cloak is actually useful and bis for some things. Going off the rest of the comments, looks like this was a pretty rushed video.
Reminder that the hard kandarin diary reward of "10% increase in enchanted bolts effects" doesnt mean what you might think The ruby bolts (e) have a base 6% chance to proc in PvE, the diary reward doesnt make it 16% chance, it makes it 6.6% chance, it increases BY 10% of the base chance it does NOT add a flat proc chance 10% So...really not something to write home about
You're overrating the ones that scale with level because you essentially count them multiple times. For example you gave all the varrock diaries high scores due to all of them having battlestaves. The elite diary doesn't give you 120, it gives you 60 and you already had 60 from the hard. You're also underrating ardy easy and hard. Easy gives you quick access to the fairy ring system, which is bis for a long time in early game. and ardy hard gives global 10% pickpocket increase, which is huge.
Kandarin Diary benefit to herb patches was explained wrong. It doesn't help its chances against disease (which would be mostly useless with Ulteacompost); It gives the patch a chance to not lose a harvest life while you're harvesting. This is the biggest way you make money from herb runs. Can't recommend it enough.
Desert elite is one of the most useful ones for clue hunters. A lot of steps are in the desert and the unlimited teleports to not only Nardah but the Kalphite hive (both of which are right next to carpet transports) means you can be at any desert city within seconds. Free carpet rides makes it even better so you don't need to carry coins around.
I have every medium and 3-4 hard diaries done. I’m getting to the point now where I don’t think I can get many more. I just don’t have the time to commit to get some of my skills into 80s and 90s
Same bro. I got quest cape and all hard diaries done but I aint trying to spend 200 hours of my precious free time doing some ford motor company shit to get a level for elites
hmm can’t say I completely agree with you. Why didn’t you mention the unlimited teleports to Relleka via Fremennik elite diary. This makes the easiest access to Vorkath, enhancing the GP per hour significantly!
Honestly, I really almost 100% agree with you on your opinion towards each diary. I also agree it's going to be person to person depending on your goals, but overall that's how it should be, so to see people dislike the video for your input is kind of saddening considering all you're doing it expressing how you feel about it. It's not like you're claiming to state that by fact one is worse than the other. Great video mate! Glad I subscribed and get to glance at some of your older content!
Just thought using the wildy lever is probably fastest way to get to ardougne on a new acc. Run to edgeville pull,pull and your there ready to complete the easy diary for the cape. Love the vids as always keep up the work
Had to downvote this one because you just flat out missed so much. Didn't mention teles to Sherlock and permanant light source that weighs 0 kg in Kandarin, missed the fact that Nardah Tele goes to basically the best rejuvination pool in the game (does it all plus overheals), and you didn't even include the fremink boots giving a deposit box there and unlimited teles at the elite level which is huge for people doing vorkath.... Just make sure you cover everything if you are gonna spend the time to mention fucking flax and bowstrings but not other major bonuses... 2/10 for you sir
Probably should have mentioned the BiS items from Ardy and Kourend. Also, while the Nardah Statue is overshadowed by the POH, it is still noteworthy since the teleport is now right next to it and it does give a health boost. And Kandarin's Elite Teleport is a pretty big deal; just as important for Clues as the KQ Shortcut is for KQ.
I think after Tombs of Amascut it be safe to say the Desert Diary has been buffed slightly with the Nardah tele and Pharoah's Sceptre charges but overall I think people now after past the hype of ToA. Pharoah's Sceptres for example are back down to about 2mil after skyrocketing to like 7m, however, Nardah scrolls are going strength to strength with an all-time high currently of 16K a pop from previously being 2K each. Is it better then Karamja? It's debatable with the raid now. Would be interested in your thoughts @Smallxplamp
i really like how this video ranked each tier of diary however i feel what would have made this one of the most comprehensive videos on the topic would be if you pointed out the notable requirements for each tier ie 1 attack pures cant do past. zerks etc
Honestly the Ardy Easy diary is amazing as a mid-level player. Turael boosting? How about a tele that puts you right next to a zoo with wolves, scorpions, bears, penguins (counts for bird tasks), and monkeys. The point of Turael boosting is that you’re trying to get it done quickly, right? Also, Vannaka gives Hill Giants and the Cyclops at the Ardy zoo counts for that. Plus, at low levels, you don’t have many teleports close to an altar.
list is fair but i would say give a rating per tier over the usefulness of each tier, so rank easy to a different easy so on and so forth because this way you are not rating an easy to an elite. only other point i think you could make is you listed some rewards that are items and counted those as a plus ie. varrock plate and didnt count the fact that ardy cloak is a great cloak for prayer or the headgear is a light source that you never have to worry about, yeah you would have to have it in inventory but you gave the shield a plus but you also have to have it with you.
Right off the bat... Desert having that low of a rating. Really? Then some miss information. Kandarin has an increase of up to 15% to save a harvest life. Basic meaning, increase crop yield. No mention of Sherlock teles saving a good bit of time. No BiS blessing from Kourend. No increase slayer points from konar slayer. Not much but for 1k tasks bonus it's an extra 100 points.
i feel like jagex didnt think these rewards out at all, id say only 10% is actually useful, like who the hell did they think would want 30 flax to bowstrings a day???
Isn't the desert elite nardah tele extremely useful as it puts you next to an altar that acts like a rejuv pool from a maxed house and boosts your hp like you have eaten an angler? As for Karamja Gloves, the main thing they offer is the ability to sell items to the store over alch value. There are still locations you can sell items at alch value without needing to do a diary so it's not massive, but I'd say it's actually better than the mole drops with the addition of birdhouses.
If you like doing herb runs and don't hate yourself get the hard fremennik, you can put a stony basalt tp on your house and save like 2-3 mins of running. Other things to notice: the kourend item will be your best in-sloth for the ammo sloth if you don't use range and that the varroc armor also procs in the guardians of the rift essence, making the 2 best diaries even better XD
Forgot the unlimited teleports from fremennik elite for people farming vorkoth.... smh really useful as it's one of the best money makers in game. Easily 10/10 rating eith the noted dk bones. Also for the desert diary, you are able to have a permanent rope for the KQ as well as the short cut. I'd say that boosts it a little bit cause it saves space and time when killing KQ.
Also elite kourend gives you radas 4 which which is best in slot prayer bonus. But yeah the only thing easy and med diaries are good for is unlocking hard diaries.
Diaries are about the long term benefits aswell, for example yes, shilo gem mine tele is just ok if your getting a slayer task from duradel but it's EXTREMELY useful over the course of 99 slayer and a absolute must have... Just saying the benefits of a lot of diaries get better and better the more you use them.

As for Karamja Gloves, the main thing they offer is the ability to sell items to the store over alch value. There are still locations you can sell items at alch value without needing to do a diary so it's not massive, but I'd say it's actually better than the mole drops with the addition of birdhouses.
If you like doing herb runs and don't hate yourself get the hard fremennik, you can put a stony basalt tp on your house and save like 2-3 mins of running.
Other things to notice: the kourend item will be your best in-sloth for the ammo sloth if you don't use range and that the varroc armor also procs in the guardians of the rift essence, making the 2 best diaries even better XD

I know this is subjective but free prayer restore is useless but faster flax spinning is decent? C'mon man.
Forgot the unlimited teleports from fremennik elite for people farming vorkoth.... smh really useful as it's one of the best money makers in game. Easily 10/10 rating eith the noted dk bones. Also for the desert diary, you are able to have a permanent rope for the KQ as well as the short cut. I'd say that boosts it a little bit cause it saves space and time when killing KQ.
no summary?
Been wanting to get Desert Elite done but now that they might add the KQ ropes and shortcuts perm with Hard only. Not even worth it.
Also elite kourend gives you radas 4 which which is best in slot prayer bonus. But yeah the only thing easy and med diaries are good for is unlocking hard diaries.
Don't forget that getting favour completely saves all of your herbs in Kourand. No diary needed.
True bruh
Diaries are about the long term benefits aswell, for example yes, shilo gem mine tele is just ok if your getting a slayer task from duradel but it's EXTREMELY useful over the course of 99 slayer and a absolute must have... Just saying the benefits of a lot of diaries get better and better the more you use them.
Doesn’t the Karamja store discount apply to buying onyx gems?
this seems so half assed with only your opinion. no mention of desert elite unlimited tp to heal like a house pool
