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
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.
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.
Appreciate the support on the videos boys! It's always a joy to be able to send another one live for you guys and I will continue to keep grinding fun videos and maxing content for you all
@@time502 and unlimited teles to the mountain + the ability to wear any boots inside the mountain. It also had a 15 percent chance to catch double of anything, including karambwans and minnows. Lemme tell you, as someone who banks all bones, that tele plus my con cape makes it damn worth it.
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.
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.
@@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
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!
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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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 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
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.
I feel like you're ranking of the desert elite diary doesn't take into consideration a lot of people don't have the tens of millions of gold coins to spend on construction for an ornate rejuvenation pool like iron men. Unlimited teleports to a restore pool in Nardah has saved me so much gp over time.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
KQ profit per hour can be compared to the mole which has way less requirements and is easier to do. Unless you're on a pet grind. KQ is not a good boss. Which makes the shortcut useless.
@@La_Verge every diary reward is useless in terms of money. ToB is legit 6m/h after ~100 hours of it. Just because something doesn't make as much money doesn't make it useless. By your logic, Fally3 is useless because mole is only 1.5m/h and hos no notable drops besides the pet.
@@otomachiuna9617 No they are not. Having the mole locator, the claws and the skin noted makes your gp per hour go up. Having the dragon bones noted in the wildy boost your gp per hour. Having the varrock armor 4 boost your gp per hour when mining. Do you want me to continue? "By my logic" You didn't even understand what I wrote.
You said KQ was a useless boss because it has a comparable gp/h as mole. by your logic, all diary rewards are useless because ToB is the best gp/h, ergo it's not worth to do anything else. My logic is that there is reason to do KQ besides the money. It's an engaging boss that isn't braindead like Mole. @ouellet
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.
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.
