When you say that there is no return on the magic or prayer skillcapes I had to think for a moment, only to realize that you were talking about money to be made from training the skill, and only that. What about the access to a multitude of spells to make your rs life a lot more efficient and fun, or wat about the ability to fight high level monsters for longer periods of time, due to lengthened prayer time. If put to use properly training these skills to 99 skills have economic value as well as sweet looking capes. I do not have any 99 skills, I just dont have the patience for it, and as such I look on in envy of anyone with any skillcape for their commitment.
