I honestly think they have been trying to move away from Skillcapes the Day they were implemented, It severely limited interaction between skillers and Combat carachters, since there was the extra incentive of prestige. Max Cape and Comp were also part of this move, but since they require such inane reqs i think SkillCapes did the most damage. anyways, new Task set next month, thats great, expecting a necklace or a main weapon, probably a neck.
