Cape of Accomplishment

A Cape of Accomplishment (also known as Skillcape) is a cape that symbolises the highest level of accomplishment in a particular field. This means that player has obtained level 99 in any of the skills, or completed all quests in the case of the Quest point cape.

Capes of Accomplishment are only available to members, or in pay-to-play worlds.

Each cape can only be purchased by players who have accomplished one of these feats. Capes of Accomplishment cost 99,000 coins, and are obtained from a specific NPC master, who can be seen wearing the cape. Unfortunately for free players, these capes can only be bought on a member's server. Capes also come with matching hoods, although the hoods do not confer any bonuses. As they cannot be traded, the only way to obtain one of these is by reaching the skill level or completing the quests required.

Emote
Each cape comes with a special emote unique to that cape, which can only be performed while wearing it. The emotes are meant to "represent" the skill required to obtain the cape. In addition, wearing the cape or selecting the "operate" option on the equipment menu boosts the player's effective level in the cape's skill by one, up to 100. (This does not apply to the quest point cape; the Prayer and Hitpoints (and Summoning?) capes have a one minute "cool-down" period between uses of this effect.) Most players, however, consider the cape's ability to demonstrate that a player has a specific skill the main reason to obtain one.

Trimmed capes
Most capes have two styles, regular and trimmed. If a player only has one level 99 skill, the cape will be in the regular style, otherwise it will be trimmed; there is no way to manually choose the style, as it is entirely dependent on the number of level 99 skills one has. Trimmed capes have an additional Prayer equipment bonus over the regular capes, but other than appearance this is the only change. Regular capes will automatically be changed into the trimmed style the instant the player obtains a second level 99 skill, regardless of whether a second cape is purchased. The exception here is again the Quest point cape, which does not have a trimmed style, even if the player has two or more level 99 skills, and does not count towards the two level 99 skills needed for a trimmed cape.

Criticism
The capes have been criticised by some players as being useless, and an unfit reward for reaching an often difficult goal as well as provoking players for the sake of the cape rather than satisfaction or enjoyment from a skill. This mostly applies to faster and easier skills such as Strength, Firemaking, Wood Cutting, Fletching, Cooking and Magic. Players are also sometimes dissatisfied by the inability to choose between the regular and trimmed styles of the cape. On the other hand, some players believe that Capes of Accomplishment were one of the few updates specifically targeted at higher-levelled players.

Trivia

 * It is nearly impossible to obtain an untrimmed Slayer cape or Summoning cape, as they train at a slightly slower pace than Hitpoints. However, by using a Dwarf Cannon, the controlled Attack style, Poison, and rings of recoil, obtaining an untrimmed Slayer or Summoning Cape is possible. One player was the first to achieve both capes, Villandra, earning an untrimmed Slayer cape on the account Slayerbelle and an untrimmed Summoning cape on the account Lorica. Anas 0 Thone and Mjjp_Mom have since achieved the untrimmed Slayer cape, while Shandlar and Yoshi egg80 have achieved the untrimmed Summoning cape.  Shandlar has since trimmed the cape.
 * The Hunter skillcape emote was leaked before any player had achieved 99 in the skill by a Jagex staff member.
 * The Wise Old Man is the only one of the cape sellers who does not wear a skillcape.
 * The Attack skillcape emote looks like Ryu from Street Fighter's special attack, Shoryuken.
 * The high cost of the Hunter skillcape is due to its material which is made of Raharni Wildcat fur, a species close to extinction. Other Capes of Accomplishment are said to be made of expensive materials as well, probably having to do with the skill associated with the cape.
 * While the capes themselves are members-only, if they are already equipped upon entering a free world the emotes can still be performed even though the cape itself becomes a "member's object"
 * On 29 October 2008, skillcapes were updated to include audio, making the skillcape emote the fourth emote with audio, in addition to the Trick, Air Guitar and Freeze emotes.
 * The Armour salesman at the Ranging guild is the only skillcape salesman who wears the matching hood of the skillcape.
 * Ignatius Vulcan (seller of the firemaking cape) is the only skillcape seller to have his cape trimmed.
 * The Magic cape is the only cape to have gold instead of the normal grey on the top of the back and under the shoulder pads of the skill cape.
 * The Construction cape is the only cape with multiple sellers.
 * The Quest cape is the only cape that cannot be trimmed.
 * All Capes of Accomplishment (except capes with Trim) gives the same stat boosts as the Obsidian cape.
 * The Woodcutting cape shows a regular 'hatchet' in its emote, which does not exist.
 * While wearing the untrimmed version of a Cape of Accomplishment, the inside of the cape (the part against the character's back) is the main colour of the cape, but while wearing the trimmed version the inside of the cape is the colour of the trim.
 * Surgeon General Tafani has an untrimmed Hitpoints cape.
 * The symbol on the Agility skillcape does not match the symbol shown in the stats menu.
