Talk:Cape of Accomplishment

Fastest?
No less than 11 of 24 skills are listed as being "one of the fastest" skills to level. That seems a little exaggerated. To paraphrase character in "The Incredibles," when everyone's special, no one's special. Perhaps we could save "fastest" for the top two or three contenders and tweak the others back to simply "fast"?

I Agree with that 21:28, April 10, 2010 (UTC) Two are listed as 'the fastest', those being firemaking and construction. I'm not sure, but I think construction if faster if you have the money up front, as you can stand in one place to train the skill all the way to 99.

Don't these seem underpowered?
We get our skill all the way to 99, and just for the stats of an obby cape?
 * I suppose, but it was almost the same thing with the legends cape and obsidian cape.=/ 03:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * At least now you can get a 99,000 coins cape rather than an expensive obby cape.--75.27.230.228 14:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * They are supposed to show skill, not really help in combat. Get a fire cape or soul wars cape if you have a problem.

Un-Headed
I thought these where called capes of achievment --User:Mrs Skilly 08:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Check the Knowledge Base... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  10:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Kinda freaky, but yeah... Wait, if you look through the history and then click on the current revision, it still shows up! EDIT: See the Yew Grove for info. Sir Revan125 19:15, 21 October 2008 (UTC)/Sir Revan125 21:20, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Separation
Seeing as each cape is an individual item, with a different name for each, shouldn't they all have their own individual pages? This would bring them into line with the rest of the articles in the Wiki. It would also mean that this article could be made to look a lot tidier. Dechaineux 15:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I get the idea; perhaps also an additional paragraph on the end of each page about the trimmed cape, and an animated image somewhere close to the top. These could even have their own category. Faiylen 22:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Why
I agree with you because it will clean things up with the articles. I'll see if I can add another link to it.

Just another question
Is there a redirect page to this?? Thanks!Derilith 02:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Capes of Accomplishment or Capes of Achievement?
I think it is confusing that sometimes in the article the capes of Accomplishment/Achievement are said as different things such as the bit in the first paragraph where it says Capes of Achievement are members only and in the same paragraph it says Cape of Accomplishment (or skill cape) is a cape that can be obtained from special masters when a player has achieved the highest merits in a skill I think that it should be changed to just one name.
 * Agreed, it should be consistent. I think the confusion arises from how the capes were released with the name "Achievement", but are now referred to as capes of "Accomplishment" in the Knowledge Base (might have been the other way around). Probably the latter should be used throughout the article. Skill 09:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Skill Capes for f2p rumor??
I recently visited runehq. They says that wc, smithing & etc capes that available in f2p areas are for f2p! I wonder if this is true. Can anybody check this? o0squiggle0o
 * Not true. Just because they're in f2p areas doesn't mean that f2pers can get them (fansites aren't 100% reliable anyway). -- 13:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

skillcapes are going to become f2p dont delet this... its true, go to runescape forum, mod mmg said it... also i asked mod mmg's friend and he confirmed http://forum.runescape.com/p=kKmok3kJqOeN6D3mDdihco3oPeYN2KFy6W5--vZUbNA/forums.ws?16,17,359,58520341


 * Prove it. I want to see links, screenshots, the whole bit... I really want to see proof before we add this to the wiki. 18:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "MMG wishes to make Skill Capes available to free players. This is unconfirmed from a player." The way I see it, it is still unconfirmed which means that we shouldn't add it to the wiki since it is disputed and the information can't be verified. Just because someone says it might happen, doesn't mean it will. 19:23, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

lol ok but i entered today on mod mmg's clan and i asked mod mmg's friend (Sparkey46) if skillcapes would become F2P, nd he answered yes, i just wanted u too know this (u can delet)

Untrimmed
Now that we know Slayer capes can be untrimmed, I wonder if the same can be done with hitpoints. Can it be done? I haven't seen one yet. 00:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Pest Control makes it possible. I don't know what it looks like though. Dtm142 01:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Can't it also be done if the player doesn't buy his/her first 99 skill cape and gets hp first? I'm pretty sure thats another way. MonsterMan RS Name theskk 2  01:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

If you train all your other combat stats (strength, attack, ranged) relatively equally this shouldn't be a problem. Doing the right quests (with hitpoints xp rewards) would make it even easier. My HP is currently one level higher than any of my other combat stats because of both factors. In fact, this is the reason why it's almost impossible to get an untrimmed slayer cape: hitpoints will probably hit 99 before any other stat if you fight controlled. --Ashura652 21:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

The Slayer Cape Untrimmed is not as unlikely as it seems- due to Soul Wars, as well as the usage of certain forms of attack (such as the Dwarf Cannon) that lower the amount of Constitution exp you recieve per damage done. -FrOsT_DrXgon

I think it would be cool
hmm, untrimmed hp cape would look nice... but like above said, you would need to train every stat pretty much the same, and do the right quests, also use any reward stuff like genie lamp and knowledge book on hp anytime you could, youd have to start pretty early on untrimmed hp cape to get it right Super Afroman 21:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * How exactly does that help the article? -- 22:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not hard at all. I've been fighting on controlled since 84 att/str/def, and I'm about 815k from 99hp.--nekobawt 21:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

'Reaper skillcape'
It seems pretty obvious that this was just a joke. Can I remove it, please? WWTDD? 00:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Images
Should skillcape images be taken with or without their respective hoods? 20:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Skill Cape Trim in F2p
My membership will run out in 15 days and I need to know if getting another 99 will get my cook cape trimmed if I was a non member. My friend told me no as it is a members only feature.
 * It should do, but bear in mind the cape is a members object and if you take it off you won't be able to put it back on. -- 09:24, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Well,It seems as though skillcapes are only members currently but apparently will become free aswell but not yet so i think this awnser is a no. 7:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Your first cape will be trimmed as soon as you get 99 in another skill. You don't need to buy a second cape for the first one to become trimmed. I know this from experience. :p   Luvdogmilk    03:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Adding Sprites for Capes
I think that for the chart that has the locations of all the capes and who gives them to you, we should also put a picture of the sprite for each cape trimmed and untrimmed... Like this MXIIA 20:49, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

99 Strength, 1 Attack
-You cannot get a skillcape of Strength without level your attack, am I right? The seller is in the Warrior's Guild, and you need a total attack+strength level of 130 to enter. Should we put this in the article? The Myth
 * I think the rule is changed that if you have one 99 in either Attack or Strength, they will let you inside. I might be wrong though. 22:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, they let you in whenever you have either one of them 99. So yes.

My First 99
I'm about to get 99 Strength in the next week...im sooo excited-- 20:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations! ^^ --Raian the Fallen 20:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

F2P skillcapes
Mod Mark just said here (near the end) that skillcapes will not become free-to-play -- 20:59, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Tab
How about a tab for the number of players who have that 99 at the time?

You have to admit the term "no life cape" does not belong on any wiki.

Joke or real?
At the bottom uder trivia there's something about clicking "random objective" and getting a funny message. Is this really true? 74.215.173.84 06:44, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's true, but you need to have all 99s. See this link for proof 15:05, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Rarity of skillcape reasons
Hey, It says that Construction is the most expensive skill to train. This is untrue, as you can get construction to under 100m easily at the moment

Herblore, however is costing at least 300m a peice.

Please may I suggest this is changed :P

3-way Split
Can we split between untrimmed capes, trimmed capes and hoods?

Discussion

 * Split - As nom/Per RS:G. --Coolnesse 21:59, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Splitish - yes to untrimmed and trimmed, but not the hoods -- 21:28, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - That would be taking RS:G way too seriously. 16:49, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The page isn't too long and all the info there is useful to someone looking it up. It would be annoying to most readers to have to look up three pages just to get the core info about skillcapes. Inelcirc 00:33, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose If this page were longer then yes but not when its that short 14:48, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per Farxodor and C Teng. 18:11, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This article is not long enough to be split anyways. 02:13, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Each of the items have different stats. They each look different.  That doesn't seem like taking it too far to me.   11:47, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Hal, they are completely different. 14:24, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Frequency numbers
Many of these numbers are too great when checked on the highscores, a revision is needed.
