Classic cape

The Classic cape was first mentioned in the Capes of Distinction Developers' Blog. This cape can only be worn by players who have visited RuneScape Classic. The cape has a pixelated look and comes with a pixelated emote. It is sold by Iffie.

Mod Mark released a statement in the Behind the Scenes of May, saying "That winning veteran cape design will soon be available to all players who have had a RuneScape account for at least five years. Joining it is the Classic cape, for all of those who have at some point logged into RuneScape Classic on their account."

The cape's emote is activated by using the Skillcape emote, as the right-click menu does not have the option like most capes. This is unusual since the skillcape emote is usually reserved for capes associated with a level rank of 99 or 120 in a skill.

The cape seems to be available only to those who can currently access the classic servers. This means that those players that played prior to the release of Runescape 2, but have not logged into a Classic server during one of the open periods will not have access to this cape.

Trivia

 * Some people who have logged into Runescape Classic cannot obtain this cape. The reason for this is currently unknown. Although it seems that only people who can currently access the classic servers can obtain the cape.


 * The icons that appear over the players head when the emote is performed are based on those used in RuneScape Classic instead of an animation when skilling. The three icons that can appear when the emote was performed are: a rune axe (this appeared over a players head in classic when they attempted to cut down a tree with a rune axe), a rune arrow (this appeared when a player fletched a rune arrow) and a rune bar (this appeared in classic when a runite bar was smelted).


 * The Classic hood is the exact same shape as a Veteran hood.


 * The cape, even though it is members, gives the same bonuses in F2P.
