Soul Wars cape

The Red / Blue cape (more commonly known as Soul Wars cape) was released with the Grandmaster quest Nomad's Requiem. This cape has the second highest prayer bonus of any item, having a bonus of +12 (Demon horn necklace having the highest at +13); this beats the previous title holder, the God stole (+10). The Obsidian cape, the Fire Cape, and Capes of Accomplishment have higher defensive bonuses than the Soul Wars cape; however, the Soul Wars cape has a very high prayer bonus. Wearing it gives an advantage where prayer is needed, such as during quests, slayer tasks and player-versus-player combat. In addition, it is a status symbol, as getting one requires the player to complete one of the most challenging quests in the game. However, taking it into player-versus-player combat is not recommended due to the high price of getting the cape back.

The cape comes in either red or blue. After Nomad's Requiem, players may purchase additional capes from Zimberfizz for 150,000 coins per cape. Multiple capes are obtainable by dropping the capes a player already owns. Zimberfizz can change the colour of the cape between red and blue for free at any time.

The cape cannot be taken into a Soul Wars game; however, the cape inside the activity provides the same bonuses, provided players have beaten Nomad's Requiem.

Despite popular belief, this cape does NOT collect arrows, unlike the version worn inside the Soul Wars activity.

Trivia

 * Previously, if you checked the items kept on death while only having this cape with you, it would say that you are carrying 2,906 coins worth of items and risking 1,906 coins; however, you are not risking anything since you keep the cape. This has since been fixed.
 * Interestingly enough, this cape is allowed on Entrana, despite the decent defence bonus (only 1 lower than the Skillcapes, which are not allowed), possibly due to some relation between it having a high prayer bonus and Entrana being an island of monks.New head glitch.png
 * This cape holds the title of most expensive untradeable cape, beating the Dungeoneering Master cape by 30,000 coins. However, its alchemy value is lower than the dungeoneering cape.
 * There was a glitch where the cape would show up in the Costume Room of players who had not beaten the quest. This has been fixed.
 * There was a glitch where while wearing the cape with a Penance Fighter Hat worn, a female player's head will float away from their body. This has been fixed.
 * There is a glitch where if a male player with the "long" hair style wears a facemask with the Soul Wars cape, the player's head will stretch away from his body. This has yet to be fixed.
 * At one point there was a glitch where the amulet of glory was incorrectly rendered when worn with the cape. The string and top circular part of the amulet would appear underneath the neck area of the cape. This has been fixed in a hidden update.
