Ancient page

Ancient pages are items which are part of the book My notes. Players can copy them to the book by using the 'Copy to log' option on the page even without the book in the backpack. There are 26 different pages that can be found.

They are sometimes obtained when rummaging barbarian skeletons or as monster drops in the Ancient Cavern, including mithril dragons. However, mithril dragons also drop ancient pages outside of the Ancient Cavern. Duplicate pages may still be obtained before completion of My notes if rummaging skeletons. Killing skeletons or mithril dragons normally will not produce duplicate pages unless all pages have been copied to My notes. A page may drop twice if it hasn't been copied to My notes. Because they are uncommon drops, My notes may take several hours to complete.

Finding all of the notes is a requirement for obtaining the master quest cape (the achievement Otto the Ancient).
