The Achievement Diary entries will each relate to an area in the game (in this first case, Karamja), and each will have a set of easy, medium and hard tasks to complete. The easy tasks could be as simple as picking a few bananas, while the hard tasks include defeating a mighty Ket-Zek (level 360) in the TzHaar Fight Cave! There are rewards for completing each set, so if you can't beat all-comers in the Fight Pits yet, don't worry.
The rewards range from improved Agility experience in the Brimhaven Agility Arena to an entirely new mine that can only be used by people who have done all of the hard tasks. On top of that, you'll increase your knowledge of Karamja, and might even discover more interesting and enjoyable ways to do things.
There are plenty of reasons to start filling in your Achievement Diary, and we'll be adding more areas to the diary in the future.
----------
They're creepy, they're crawly, and now they look even scarier! Our eight, six and four legged friends have been getting a visit from the Makeover Mage, and it wasn't a pleasant visit! Between trying to convince the Kalphite Queen that black really wasn't her colour and the fine detail work on the small spider, the mage is beginning to wonder if he/she is in the right line of work.
As a small surprise, the Mage also managed to hammer the metal dragons into shape, which is no easy feat. But all the hard work paid off as small spiders, kalphites, scorpions and metal dragons have shiny new looks and animations.
In other news...
Players entering the Abyss become 'skulled' - marked as player-killers by the skull emblem above their heads. Anyone entering the Abyss while already skulled has their timer reset, so they have to wait at least another 10 minutes for the skull to disappear. The abyssal bracelet, released in last week's Crafting update, has now been upgraded to prevent the timer being reset in this way, so if you've been skulled and then put on the bracelet, the skull's duration won't be extended when you re-enter the Abyss. This doesn't use up any charges on the bracelet.
The jacket and cap from An Enlightened Journey may now be stored in your houses' costume rooms.
Players visiting the Fountain of Heroes or Legends' Guild to recharge their amulets, necklaces and bracelets will be glad to hear that the fountain now recharges all the amulets of glory in your inventory (including any that you're wearing) without the need for repeated clicking, and the totem pole in the Legends' Guild does the same for the bracelet of combat and necklace of skills.
Finally, you'll find that the minimap icon for general stores has been changed. It used to represent a pot of flour. It's been pointed out to us that general stores don't usually stock pots of flour, so the icon now resembles an empty pot. Please try to contain your excitement.

The gloves themselves are horrible, but eh... what new item in RS isn't these days?
When you 'Operate' them, you will be teleported to the Underground Shilo Mine (8 Gem Rocks) - I am unsure if you will be able to have them all to yourself or if you have to share them with other miners who can access the underground mines.
Once you climb up the ladder in the underground mine, you will find yourself right outside the other 7 Gem Rocks. I like the fact that it is a teleport to Shilo (may be good for obtaining quick Slayer Tasks from Duradel)

With the gloves (any level) an Uncut Onyx only costs 260k Tokkul, that is 40k less than with out the gloves.

If you buy Obsidian Mauls for 120-150K each with those gloves, you will resell them for approximately 15,300 Tokkul each. Since the Onyx stone is worth 260K with those gloves, this makes it much cheaper and worth a reasonable amount.
Try it. I'm going to definitely give this a shot since I have absolutely nothing better to do with my money.

The Obsidian Knife (TokTz-Xil-Ak) sells for 8,750 Tokkul with the gloves.
Technically, the knife sells for 80k on the street, but you can get it as low as 50k.
It'll cost roughly 1.5-2.4M for a fury, if that's what you desire.
Enjoy!

Interesting Little Update... I ended up with the Karamja Gloves 3... which proved to be fairly useful. I got 16K xp into anything I wanted (Ancient Lamps) and I also got access to a secret mine located in Shilo (Also an infinite teleport to Shilo).
The gloves themselves are horrible, but eh... what new item in RS isn't these days?

Who are you?
