Trivia

On the day the diary came out the spoilers said: "Spoilers are wicked things, and the White Knights prefer to see them locked up for a day." However, the spoilers on the website were still locked, more than 3 days after the release.
On the day the diary came out, a player could be assisted by another player with a higher Runecrafting level to complete the task of creating 196 air runes in one action. Jagex noticed this the next day and changed it.
The Achievement Diary symbol in the chemist's was there long before the actual diary was released.
After travelling to Musa Point to complete the Medium task, a player can take a ride back on the same ship to complete an Easy task in the Karamja Diary.
After the RuneTek 5 update there was a glitch where buying a farming amulet from Sarah did not register in the achievement diary. This was fixed by Jagex shortly after.
Before 17 September 2009, the hard task "Craft 140 mind runes simultaneously" was instead "Craft 196 air runes simultaneously". This was changed in lieu of the air altar being moved to south-west of Varrock. Due to this update, the Runecrafting level needed has fallen from 66 to 56.
