The game prompts me to talk to Mistress Fara to receive my first daily challenge, and I have exhausted all dialogue options with her without any success. Is there any workaround to start receiving daily challenges? For context, the challenges tab just shows 5 "complete all basic challenges" at the moment.

Could you please submit an in game bug report? Capturing your game state would be immensely helpful in reproducing this bug.

As a workaround hypothesis (I'm in Australia until the new year, so unable to view the code from here), please check you have the "Talk to Fara" achievement in the Daily Challenges path in the Burthorpe path book selected in your Activity Tracker (so there's a breadcrumb trail pointing to Fara), before talking to Fara.

(You can find the achievement paths panel on the Achievements tab in your Hero parent interface. The button on the bottom cycles through the Burthorpe, Lumbridge, etc, path books.)

When you're in the intended state, the daily challenge interface tutorial should start after one opening line of dialogue from Fara (so you shouldn't need to choose any dialogue topics), and you'll need to complete those interface tutorial steps to get your first 5 basic challenges.

Thanks for replying during your vacation period! I have tried your method, but I am unable to find the Burthorpe Path book under the achievement paths. The first 3 path books for me are wizard tower, draynor, varrock.

No problem! Sounds like you're on the default path book. There should be a button at bottom centre between the tick and padlock tick boxes, currently labeled Paths.

Press that and see if it'll cycle over to Burthorpe. Also, just to be on the safe side, do it near the Burthorpe lodestone.

(If that button only cycles between Paths and Lumbridge, then your Burthorpe path book (which is the one that contains the Daily Challenges path) is being hidden due to you being considered an experienced player, which is probably where the issue arises.)

Hey, I’ve been wondering if there is a way to unlock daily challenges as a lvl 3 skiller? Currently you have to complete a prayer challenge as one of the basic challenges (bury bones + the reward is direct xp) and as a skiller I don’t really want to touch that.

Not as far as I know, as they include a combat and prayer challenge, and you need to clear at least one of the basic challenges before regular ones roll. Regular bones shouldn't put you over a level IIRC, but the buffed Prayer XP from the daily challenge rework could be an issue. You could reset your combat skills at Nastroth in Lumbridge in a worst case scenario. (I'll see if I can get Nastroth to auto-complete skiller-unfriendly basic challenges, if another dev doesn't get to this issue before me in the new year.)

Hey,

Has this issue been resolved? I just created a level 3 skiller since the release of Archaeology and despite completing all 3 of the skilling challenges, have been unable to acquire the standard daily challenges. The tutorial "Basic Challenges" just refresh on the following reset.

Created an account and tested in live just to be sure, and looks like this feature indeed hasn't been released yet.

Investigated the JIRA tracking this issue, and looks like it was returned by QA to resolve a bug they discovered, so the issue's still in progress. I've offered to help them fix it when we're back from the weekend so we can get this pushed live.
