The Wilderness Diary is an Achievement Diary whose tasks are exclusively done within the Wilderness. Therefore, players should be prepared for attacks from player killers.

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 Lesser Fanatic east of the Edgeville jailhouse and nearby the bridge, outside of the Wilderness. Tasks may be done in any order, but the previous tiers of a diary must be completed to claim rewards of the next tier.
