Clan cloak



The Clan cloak (not to be mistaken as Team cape) is a cloak players can equip to show their clan allegiance, and is the wearable counterpart to the Clan vexillum. It was released on 12 April 2011, in the "Clan Camp, Support and Web Pages" update. To obtain one, you have to speak to the Captain of the Guard in the Clan Camp while being a member in a Clan. He will also replace the cloak if lost.

It features the clan logo and the clan colour, chosen by the clan leader or admins/deputy owner. These can be configured in the 'Clan Settings' of the Clan interface by the owner/Admin of the clan.

The clan cloak was released together with The Clan Camp, and is partially customisable with two icons from a set and a selection of colours from a palette. The cape does not offer any stat bonuses whatsoever and is purely decorative.

The colours and symbols of the clan cloak as well as the clan vexillum can be edited using the Clan Customisation tool, which can be found in the Clan Chat tab of the side interface. Four colours can be customised - the main cape colour, the cape's trim/inside colour, and one colour for each of the two logos.

Many players create "fake" skill capes by adjusting the colours and emblems of the Clan cloak to match those of a Skillcape.

The Clan Cloak has also limited the use of the previously popular f2p cape, the 'Team Cape', due to its lessened diversity and choice of colour. This cape is now mostly used to coordinate itself to certain trimmed armours, instead of Team Capes.



Trivia

 * If you take your Forum Avatar picture with the cloak on and your clan leader disbands the clan, then the cloak on the Forum Avatar will turn into its default colour blue, with the icons being an R and S.
 * On June 1 2011, the clan cloak's collar was changed to two separate collars so as to not cover the player's amulet slot.
 * From June 1st through June 27th, the clan cloak's shoulderpads would stretch in various situations. For a common bug, this took Jagex surprisingly long to fix.
 * Similarly, the glitch occur when a player rides a carpet in the Al Kharid Desert. The shoulders appear to stretch down through the carpet to normal height.
 * If you are wearing the cloak and the Sandwich lady appears, the cape changes to the default settings when you teleport to the event, but as you leave and enter the Runescape surface again, it returns to your settings.
