Well I can easily see a few good bonuses for QP cape wielders. One bonus would be possibly a 5% discount at stores, or even more time when doing the guthix tears mini-game.

I'm thinking that the fishing cape will probably have a blue and white animation similar to waves, with the bonus of a higher chance to catch fish. As for the herblore cape...maybe sometimes you make a 4 dose pot instead of a 3. There's lots of ways to give people with 99 skills such as that a good bonus opposed to just xp. Rcers for instance might not need the necklace of binding to RC combo runes 100% or smithers not need a ring of forging for 100% on iron (perhaps more dart tips/bolt tips made.) Edit: I like the portable anvil cape idea!

A lot of people on the fight caves tend to forget that reflexes play a huge role in the ability to succeed. I still don't have a fire cape, and have tried just about every method that a person can think of, but I'm not too worried...I just accept it as having reflexes to slow to pull it off. Anyway, yes the strength cape will probably have higher str and the mage cape higher mage than the god capes...However, think of it on the flip side these capes will surely cost something to even get. For all we know it could be specific quests to do and repeat just to wear a crazy cape on our shoulders. I will admit that I look forward to the ranging cape, because what's more fun than throwing knives at people in the wilderness...than doing it with an animated cape :P

Wereolves...or wilderness. It just depends on how long I'm going to be training and if I feel like pking somebody for food to train with.

I'd have to disagree on that...Personally, I think that the slayer cape would probably have a higher chance of getting a slayer item drop from the appropriate NPC's. EDIT: I don't think that pkers would respect a person with 99 agility due to them being a running noob :lol:

RC, slayer, or agility because all of those take a lot of annoying work.

Thieving or slayer.

I used to have a collection of about 7K mud, 7K mist, and 7K smoke runes...hey somebody has to be the combo rcer to sell combos to questers :P

If you ask me it could be shaped like a fire and a bit short...maybe even an examine along the lines of, "A singed old cape...lovely..."

Well the quest cape probably won't be wieldable until you've completed all of the current quests, but I don't see them unwielding it from you if you don't have them all done and had it on. Past that the wardrobe idea is just derived from the old old bank chest idea for POH it seems, but they decided that'd make construction too easy and amped it up differently.

I'm curious as to how they plan on initiating the method of getting the capes to the players...the best solution would be have them talk to an NPC to get them. However, I wouldn't be suprised if they just put them in the player's inventory over the bank. So, I'm just saying when you logout and it's close to a day an update could happen, be sure to bank your phats or they might be deleted. Now only if I didn't vow not to play RS at college and change my pass lol...otherwise I'd be mage and HP training like a madman at pest control.

Just go around to the backside of the pyramid and go through the crevice opposed to the whole pyramid. Past that the scepter should be able to tele you to the pyramid...i don't know, because it didn't seem worth the effort to get it. Instead, I just grab a couple of eng pots and use the camulet to get to the pyramid and change to ancient....much easier to just stock up on camel dung and recharge =P.

Well if you're f2p I would highly recommend not making chocolate cakes for cooking, but instead recommend fishing and cooking salmon and trout. Or if you don't like that much fishing then make anchovy pizzas at the bandit camp. Now if you're p2p I'd instead recommend that you complete (or mostly complete) the sequel to Cook's Assistant and then just make wines at the Lumby bank chest. Since, the same chest sells all the ingredients you need to make wine along with other things. Thus, you're getting some faster xp than the cakes and can world hop. That and 3 gp per wine to make is pretty great for cheap nonwildy food for non meleers.

I would probably just recommend killing bloodvelds for blood runes over shadow warriors. As for times to get 1K blood runes...well I think it could be done in 6-8 hours from blood rcing.

Personally if I had lower stats I'd say the 76 fishing or just go for the bloody ole' 77 rcing.

Either the lobs idea or get started on Recipe for Disaster and do what you can get done in it, then make wines at the chest in Lumby. Sure there will be some world hopping, but wines are very useful for rcing to get your hp up and cost 3 gp per wine to make with 200 or 220 xp i think.

If you're using the wilderness hobgoblin mine then I have a useful suggestion. Range hobgoblins for about 1 attack to pull them over to one or 2 sides of the rocks. That way, if pkers come by and try to pk you there's an escape by charging right through your hobgoblin army. Here's an old pic of me with my hobgoblin army (think this one has 17, but I've been known to get 19.)

Typical lag errors...seriously just ignore it and have a healthy inner laugh about the matter.

It doesn't have Drakan's castle so there's more to come than what is just on that map.

Well if intelligence you lack then I suggest insolence and use neither, but instead go for obsidian rings =P. One handed and the same stats of a MSB. That and I'm sure you can find a good use for the other hand in RS.

Actually, I chose not to add that part due to I don't support that. Aye pking RCers may be low, and as immoral as I may be at times I personally think that a person should still stick around and fight back if they were to come up and fight you even if they have food.

Actually I would agree under normal conditions on that, but knives or darts on rapid are too fast for teleporting to even happen at all with a glory, dueling ring, or games necklace.

To answer your question it is the full helm, legs, and plate. The full helm will have to be bought from a player or a drop from a monster, the rest should be buyable from the appropriate stores unless I'm delusional (hey anything can happen.)

Naturally rune knives would be fine, but the problem is trying to get a hold of them. As for in terms of drops I think the only monster that drops them is red dragons and that is about 3 of them at a time with drop odds roughly 1/50.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this, but frankly I don't care since I stopped playing RS a month ago lol. Alright the best strategy that worked for me is pretty simple. Most rcers fit into 2 categories. 1.) People with 1 click teleport 2.) People without. I'd say that after Construction came out 45% of rcers aren't the 1 click teleport RCers...these are the fun ones. My recommendation is black dragonhide, barrow gloves, best mage boots you have, best mage headpiece you have, mith or better knives wielded (must be knives and not darts due to a greater distance.) glory, choice of food, range pot, choice of boots, and runes for an ice barrage. Then the solution is simple. Whenever, you see a RCer freeze them with one ice barrage, don't even bother to try casting a 2nd one...your mage should be good enough to often hit with 1 cast, and then range them with addy knives on rapid. The result is if you're range potted you should have no problem pking them even if they're in dragonhide without using prayer, but if you really want to use prayer then throw on the best range boosting prayer you have after you've already been ranging them for a few rounds in combat. As for the other way there's not really much of a variation you can do (definately wear mage gear for this though). It's pretty much TB, bind, then your preferance is what I'd do. NOTE: I said TB then bind, because anybody with half of a brain is going to attempt to tele before being binded. That is if they have the 1 click teleport.
