– Level 99 in at least one skill, or the Quest Cape

Assuming you’ve already completed Plague’s End and activated the Lodestone, teleport to Prifddinas and Head to the Max Guild. Once inside, left click on the sealed banner of any skill you have reached level 99 in, and the achievement will pop.

Difficulty: Easy
Length: Short
You must wear a ring of charos (a) and charm Gertrude so you can select the colour of your new kitten. Gertrude will not sell a kitten to the player if they already have a kitten or cat with them or in the bank so you may need to release your cat in order to acquire a new one. Gertrude is located South-West of the West Varrock bank.

Unlocked the lodestone at Anachronia, the island of great beasts
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Medium
To get to Anachronia for the first time you need to board the Stormbreaker located East of the Varrock digsite. Upon boarding the ship, play out the cutscene. Once you arrive, you will need to travel to the main city. Once you’ve arrived, work with Giles to get the materials required for the level 1 Town Hall. Once it’s been built, you will be able to build the lodestone by acquiring a bit more material. Once built, the achievement will unlock.

Achievements 6-10
Unlocked the lodestone at Burthorpe, the town of training
Members Only: No

Length: Short
Lodestone teleport to Port Sarim and run North-West to the Clan Camp. If you’re already part of a Clan, right click Quick Travel on the portal. If you’re not part of a clan, feel free to visit any clan’s citadel. “fates pulse” is a current working Clan you can visit. Achievement Unlocked!

Solved the Embrace the Chaos mystery within the Infernal Source archaeology site
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – Embrace the Chaos mystery[runescape.wiki] (29 Archaeology)
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Medium
Head to the Infernal Source dig site North-East of Varrock. I highly recommend following the RS Wiki guide for completing the “Eyes in Their Stars[runescape.wiki]” archaeology mystery. Once completed you can begin the Embrace the Chaos mystery which will unlock the achievement upon entering the portal at the end. These are not difficult and don’t require much in requirements but are a bit time consuming as the Arch skill is quite slow.
——————————————————————————————————-
Unlocked the lodestone at Lumbridge, the city of stone
Members Only: No
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Short
Head to Lumbridge and left click the lodestone to activate it. Very straight forward on this one.
——————————————————————————————————-
Completed all the tasks in the Lumbridge beginner set
Members Only: No
Requirements: – The Restless Ghost[runescape.wiki] quest
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Medium
You need to complete all 24 Beginner Lumbridge (in-game) achievements. None of these are difficult or have any level requirements, but it may take you a bit of time to action them all. I recommend following the RS Wiki guide for this[runescape.wiki] as it has a built in tracker and in depth guides for each individual task! You can additionally track these in your “Area Tasks” section in the Hero Achievement menu.
Achievements 11-15
Completed all the tasks in the Lumbridge Medium set
Members Only: No
Requirements:
20 Smithing
31 Magic
30 Firemaking
40 Cooking
30 Woodcutting
16 Crafting
30 Fishing
20 Mining
Cook’s Assistant[runescape.wiki] quest
Started Dragon Slayer[runescape.wiki]
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Medium
Similar to the beginner tasks, this time you need to do the Medium tasks. I once again recommend the RS Wiki guide for the medium tasks[runescape.wiki] so you can easily track these while you use the guides. This list is half as big as the beginner list which is nice, but obviously require a bit higher skill requirements.
——————————————————————————————————-
Completed all the tasks in the Lumbridge hard set
Members Only: No
Requirements:
40 Smithing
50 Crafting
59 Magic
50 Cooking
45 Prayer
57 Runecrafting
60 Firemaking
Cook’s Assistant
Difficulty: Medium
Length: Medium
More tasks! The hard list is quite short at only 7 tasks and none of them are particularly difficult but just require skillchecks. I once again recommend the RS Wiki guide for the hard tasks[runescape.wiki] to track your list as well as use their guides.
——————————————————————————————————-
Unlocked the lodestone at Prifdinnas, the city of the elves
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – Plague’s End[runescape.wiki] Quest (This requires a slew of high level skills and quests)
Difficulty: Hard
Length: Long
Odds are if you’ve completed the Plague’s End quest, you already have the lodestone. If not, you need to complete it. With all the requirements and required quests this one can be a doozy if you’re early on in your RS career. Once the quest is completed, you will unlock the city of Prifddinas. Simply run directly to the centre of the city and left click the lodstone to activate it. Achievement unlocked!
——————————————————————————————————-
Completed a sinkhole activity
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Medium
I recommend doing this on world 134, the official server for Sinkholes. First, you need to head to Daemonheim and speak to Talsar. The quickest way to get there is to use your ring of Kinship. He will give you a time and a hint as to where the next Sinkhole will spawn. He will also offer to teleport you directly to the sinkhole 5 minutes before it spawns. Teleport to the next sinkhole, and enter it after it spawns to start the activity. Note this is safe, and will require you to bank most items before you can start. All you need to do is complete the activity once for the achievement to unlock. If you would like a detailed guide on how to play the game, I have linked it here[runescape.wiki].

Climbed to the top of the white knights’ castle and saw all there was to see
Members Only: No
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Short
Climb up the western tower of the White Knight’s Castle until you reach the top floor and this achievement will unlock. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you see a herb patch.
Achievements 16-20
Defeated the 6 (or 7) barrows brothers and claimed their loot 5 times over
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – Priest in Peril[runescape.wiki] quest
Started The Nature Spirit[runescape.wiki] quest
Difficulty: Medium – High
Length: Medium
Once you have started the Nature Spirit quest, you will be able to navigate to the Barrows brother minigame located far South-East of Canfis by running through the swamp. While there are technically no requirements beyond the two quests required to navigate here, it is highly recommend you are at least level 70 in your combat skills with good equipment as well as this minigame is NOT safe. You must complete the minigame by defeating the 6 barrows brothers and looting the chest at the end 5 times. Note if you’ve done the Ritual of the Mahjarrat, or Kindred Spirits quests, they each respectively add an additional brother/sister to be fought. To get a full understanding of how to play the minigame and what each brother can do, I recommend reading up the RS Wiki strategy guide[runescape.wiki].
——————————————————————————————————-
Gained access to the golden city of Menaphos by completing the Jack of Spades quest
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – The Jack of Spades[runescape.wiki] quest
(Two prerequisite quests with no skill levels required)
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Long
You need to complete the quests Stolen Heart, Diamond in the Rough, then The Jack of Spades to unlock the city of Menaphos which unlocks this achievement. None of these quests are hard or have any skill requirements, but they’re all considered at least medium length so it may take you a bit of time to get all three completed. To begin the Stolen Heart quest, speak to Ozan in Draynor Village.
——————————————————————————————————-
Finished 10 clue scrolls and claimed their loot
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – None to start, but the clues themselves have a bunch of unique skill and quest requirements
Difficulty: Easy to Hard
Length: Very Long
This is the first achievement where luck is required and can be extremely time consuming if you know nothing about Treasure Trails. You need to first get your hands on some clue scrolls. They rarely drop from a ton of Runescape’s enemies, but can also be acquired in other ways such as pick-pocketing certain enemies, some skills like fishing, etc.
Clues drop in different levels of difficulty including easy, medium, hard, elites and masters.
Depending on the clue you get, you will be tasked with a treasure hunt filled with a variety of different puzzles and eventually a reward casket which could be as lame as a couple hundred coins, or have an extremely rare item potentially worth billions of gold! Note that just outside the bottom gate of the grand exchange, there is an NPC named Zaida who can trade in your treasure trail points for even more clue scrolls.
To try and farm these I recommend the following enemies:
Easy – Man (level 2) 1/128 drop rate
Medium – Falador Guard (level 16/18) 1/128 drop rate
Hard – Hellhound (level 92) 1/64 drop rate
Once you actually have the scrolls, I recommend RuneHQs excellent guides[www.runehq.com] on individual clues to solve these. Once you have opened your 10th reward casket, this achievement will pop. Good luck!!

Travelled to the Arc islands and visited 50 uncharted isles
Members Only: Yes
Requirements: – Impressing the Locals[runescape.wiki] quest
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Long – Very Long
Once you have completed the required quest, you can simply travel to the Arc by speaking to Quartermaster Gully in Port Sarim. What you need to do is spend supplies and travel to 50 uncharted isles. This obviously means you should stick to small isles as they only cost 5 supplies, meaning you need a total of 250 supplies. There is a very long and lazy way to earn this, or a more painful but much faster way to do this.
Long and Lazy: Every day after Runescape resets (7pm EST), head to Quartermaster Gully, and travel to the island of Waiko. Beside Rosie in the central hub, she will have a box of free supplies you can take from. These give you 5 supplies. Travel to a small island, check for any washed up supplies or chimes, leave, rinse and repeat and in a very short 50~ days, you’ll have your achievement. You can also do this once every 10 days as her supply box can store up to 50 supplies at a time.
Painful but Faster: Lets earn some chimes! Chimes can be used to purchase supplies from Rosie we have referenced above(25 chimes = 1 supply).
Chimes buy us supplies, which get us to isles, which we can earn more chimes from. This method is only recommended if you have very high skill levels.
When travelling to these isles, I recommend three things:
1. Check for washed up supply boxes on the shore. These will give you a few supplies back and quicken the process. Also look for chimes on the ground. These can be spotted by the red dots on your minimap.
2. If you have 96 fishing and cooking, catch Wobbegong and back them at the boat until you deplete the resource. These fish can be cooked into oil and sell for a ton of chimes at the fish seller back near Rosie.
3. If you have 90 woodcutting, chop bamboo! The bamboo can be fletched into bundles and sold to the bamboo seller back near Rosie for a decent amount of chimes.
Rinse and repeat these steps until you get the 250 supplies required for travelling to small isles!

Killed 1000 of RuneScape’s bosses
Members Only: No
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Easy – Hard
Length: Long – Very Long
1000 Bosses is a lot. Depending on the bosses you decide to farm, this could take a few days, few weeks or few months.
One of the easiest bosses that I highly recommend and is available to non-members is the King Black Dragon. It’s not overly powerful, has a cheap instance fee and if you’re high level it’s mostly AFKable, you just need to keep an eye on your antifire.
I recommend heading to the Artefact North-West Edgeville as it will safely take you to the KBD without needing to enter the wilderness. Create an instance for yourself for 50K with the fastest possible respawn rate, enter the arena, drink your super anti-fire and any other useful potions like overloads and prepare to fight. I will link a guide here for the KBD[runescape.wiki] but its a extremely straightforward fight and as long as you have reliable healing and antifire, its a very easy fight that can be finished in around 30 seconds.
And that wraps up our share on RuneScape: 100% Achievement Guide. If you have any additional insights or tips to contribute, don’t hesitate to drop a comment below. For a more in-depth read, you can refer to the original article here by Amity, who deserves all the credit. Happy gaming!
