Cape of Accomplishment

A Cape of Accomplishment (or skill cape) is a cape that can be obtained from special masters when a player has achieved the highest merits in a skill. This means level 99, or having all Quest Points in the case of the Quest point cape. They cost 99 000 coins each and come with a matching hood. They can be bought from NPCs that wear the cape. They are nontradeable. Also, accompanying each cape is a special emote that you can only use while wearing the cape. Finally, wearing the cape will boost the relevant skill to an impressive 100 in your stat menu for a brief period of time. The player can regain this boost by removing the cape and putting it on again, or by right clicking it and selecting "operate". For Prayer and Hitpoints, however, the cape's effect cannot be reactivated for a whole minute once the effect has worn off. Each cape has two styles, a regular style and a trimmed style. When a player visits a skill master with two or more skills at the 99 level or with all quests completed, the purchased cape will have a special trimming around its edges. Capes with this trimming have an additional stat attack increase of 4 Prayer along with the 9 to each defence. If you already have a cape when you reach 99 in a second level, the cape you have already have will become trimmed automatically.

Skill capes have been criticized by many players as useless, and not a fitting reward for reaching level 99 in a skill. Some players are also dissatisfied with the fact you can't get an untrimmed version of the cape if you have two 99 skills. Capes of Accomplishment are members only.

When the skill capes were released, the Fletching cape was available in the Ranging Guild. It was later moved to Catherby as many players thought it was unfair that they couldn't buy it because they didn't train Ranged (such as pure skillers).

Trivia

 * It is nearly impossible to obtain an untrimmed Slayer cape, as Slayer is trained at a slightly slower pace than Hitpoints. However, by using a multicannon mixed with attack, strength, and defence training, the untrimmed slayer cape can be achieved.
 * The Hunter Cape emote was leaked before any player had achieved 99 in the skill by a Jagex staff member.
 * Wise Old Man is the only one of cape sellers who doesn't wear his cape.
 * Nn some rumors it is said that the Air guitar emote was planned to be the emote for a planned 500 song skill cape.
 * The Attack skill cape emote looks like Ryu from Street Fighter's special attack, Shoryuken.
