Fire cape

The Fire cape is a reward received from defeating TzTok-Jad, a level 702 boss found in the TzHaar Fight Cave activity. Players will always receive a fire cape after killing TzTok-Jad, regardless of whether they already own one or not. Any spare fire capes can be kept in a player's bank, although they could also be sold to TzHaar-Mej-Jal for 8,000 Tokkul (Or high-alched for 60,000 coins). If you lose the Fire cape, you will have to defeat TzTok-Jad again to receive another one.

The fire cape currently has the highest Defence and Strength bonuses of any cape in RuneScape (Technically the only cape to have a Strength bonus). It is, however, surpassed by the god capes in Magic, Ava's accumulator/attractor in the Ranged skill, and is surpassed by the Ardougne cloak (versions 2 and 3), trimmed Capes of Achievement, Vestment cloaks and Soul Wars cape in Prayer.

As of 8 February 2010, the cape had to be worn to fight Ice strykewyrms. Without it, the player could not deal damage, or even get assigned the task. Note: The player must have them as a task to be able to attack them, just having a fire cape is not enough. However, Jagex has implemented an extra reward into those from Slayer tasks, that players who do not own a Fire cape are able to kill Ice Strykewyrms by purchasing the ability from a Slayer master for 2,000 points.

Trivia



 * On Monday, 22 February 2010 after the Hunter update, players' Fire capes were glitched when changing the texture detail to Low. This was fixed a day later.
 * The Fire cape is the only animated cape in the game. Users have reported not seeing an animation when running High Detail mode with lighting detail off, however.
 * Previously, the lava on the cape was updated along with RuneScape HD, but because of player complaints, the Fire cape was changed back to its original (and current) animation.
 * Setting all the graphics to low detail caused the fountains in Zanaris, Camelot, and the Wizard's tower to have a similar animation of the fire cape; this has since been fixed.
 * With the 17 March 2009 updates, there appeared a graphical glitch on Standard Detail Mode, in which the Fire cape would flash colours under certain animations, such as using the spell High Level Alchemy, teleporting, or using Special attacks, thus losing its lava texture for a few seconds. This was fixed a day later.
 * According to the Items Kept on Death interface, the Fire cape is worth 60,000 coins
 * The Fire cape is one of the few capes to give a Prayer bonus, along with the Ardougne cloak, Capes of Accomplishment, Vestment cloaks, and the Soul Wars cape.
 * Due to the RuneTek 5 Game Engine Update on 2 September 2009, the Fire cape's animation was slowed down. It is unknown if this is a bug or was purposely intended.
 * A problem with the Fire cape when using fairy rings was corrected on 9 November 2009.
 * If one views the cape on someone who is Fishing or something similar, the lava will appear to flow up the cape.
