The Burthorpe and Taverley tasks were released on 31 January 2012 with the rework of Burthorpe. Originally, there were 55 tasks to complete, and 10 more were added with the release of Divination. However the Divination tasks were transferred to the Achievement system on 29 August 2017 and are now the achievements in the Divination subcategory of the Skills category. The other tasks were not transferred and were thus removed from the game. Regardless of the number, these tasks were meant to serve as an introduction to the game — a tutorial. The majority of the tasks were designed to be done in a linear order, following the old now-removed Troll Warzone storyline. However, high level players had the option to skip the storyline and do the tasks in any order, and latter tasks were not in any particular order.
Before the inclusion of Divination in late 2013, players could perform these tasks with ease. There used to be only one difficulty level and no skill requirements to complete any of the tasks. These tasks were also not necessary to perform the "Taskmaster" emote. But, due to Divination release, there was a requirement of level 13 Divination, making part of this task set required for the emote as well as the completionist cape. The original 55 tasks were not required; just the Divination tasks.
