Fire cape



The Fire cape is a reward received after defeating the level 702 TzTok-Jad 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. Fire capes stack when stored in the bank, and they can be stored on the cape rack in a Costume room of a Player-owned house. Players that don't want their cape can sell it to TzHaar-Mej-Jal for 8,000 tokkul. A lost fire cape can only be replaced by defeating TzTok-Jad again to receive another one.

The fire cape is much sought after due to its high stat bonuses. It is one of three capes that have a strength bonus. It currently has the second highest strength and defence bonuses of any cape in the game only surpassed by the Completionist cape. It is, however, surpassed by the god capes in Magic attack bonus, Ava's accumulator/attractor/alerter in Ranged attack bonus, and by the Ardougne cloak (3 and 4), the Third-age druidic cloak, all trimmed skillcapes, the Completionist cape, and the Soul Wars capes in Prayer bonus.

Until 8 February 2010, the cape had to be worn to fight Ice strykewyrms. Without it, the player could not deal any 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 that allows players who do not own a Fire cape to gain the ability to kill and be assigned Ice Strykewyrms by purchasing it from a Slayer master for 2,000 slayer reward points.

The fire cape is one of few animated equipment pieces, as well as the very first one. It is meant to depict a flow of lava streaming down. With recent upgrades to Runescapes rendering engine the animation of it is beginning to look outdated. As of today, a more creditworthy animation of magma or actual fire flowing down a players back should be possible using particle effects, such as with the firemaking skillcape's emote, but would be video resource intensive to render and would visually outdo special capes such as the completionist cape, which is far harder to obtain than the fire cape.



After the Items Kept on Death update of April 19, 2011, the fire cape's protect value is believed to be 3,500,000 coins

Trivia

 * When resting on the Ice Bridge in Zamorak's Fortress in the God Wars Dungeon with the cape equipped, the cape appears to be transparent and goes through the ice.
 * When Runescape HD first came out, the fire cape received a graphical makeover. Many players were outraged, stating it gave a "flowing cheese" effect. After many complaints on the forums, Jagex eventually changed it back to its former and current look.
 * The Fire Cape is made from PINGAS.
