skill capes realy worth all the effort?

[ktmcf121]

I don't think of getting 99s as in '50levels to 99' I think it as a way to sho your devoted. Come on you got 90craft! your 10levels away so why not go for it eh?

 

 

 

too bad lvl 90 isn't even halfway to 99.

[Abyssalwhip]

No wonder your sig says that... And you don't even a skill cape so where are to say this?

[CheeseBap]

Oh My God PLEASE type in a comprehensible manner it drives me insane when you talk like a reject, it does not take much to type a few extra letters.

 

 

 

However -

 

 

 

When I was getting 99 ranged and 99 magic I did not do it for the want of a skill cape, I did it for the want of being able to hit harder in ranged and more accuratly in magic. I am now working on prayer and only so that I can eventually get 126 combat, so again not for the cape. I see the cape as a nice little reward at the end but not as a reason to get a 99 stat.

umm 99 in range/magic/prayer etc doesnt count there is a reason to get 99 in those skills but no reason for example to get 99 mining when an 85 miner can be jsut as fast mining rune

[ElCusco]

A level 52 prayer can use smite, so that's where people should stop training it. A level 70 Ranger can use crystal bows, Karil and so on, so that's where people should stop training.

 

Well...atleast if I follow your opinion.

 

 

 

We all know that you can pray longer with 99 Prayer, you can hit more with 99 Range and 99 Mage. But it's the same thing with Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing and so on. When higher Ranged hits harder, higher Fishing catch more fishes faster. When higher Mage hits harder, higher Mining reduces the ammount of hits and time before you get the ore.

umm thats not true because if 2 players for example 1 with 85 mining and 1 with 99 mining mine the same rune rock there is a fair chance to the 85 miner to get the ore and when it comes to fishing you get fish faster only by a little for example lets say at level 40 you get lobs you get like....1 per minute and with 99 you get 3 per minute thats nothing compared to all the xp someone has to get to fish as much lobs at a certain time

and i also retyped the main post...and im a guy

[miracleman58]

some people just like the skill and dont care about the cape

[dreak92]

i got 99 for: cape+totallevel+totalexperience+no more burning

 

and like some people said before , there is a big difference between cutting yews at 60 and at cutting them at 99 :uhh:

 

AND what about money? :P

 

my friend is almost 90 crafting and now he makes lots of money out of it+ he loves the skill so why not go for 99?

you probably didnt read the posts before but as said if you get xp for moeny and not xp for a cape then i can see a reason but if you get xp for just xp and no additional abilities for example then i realy dont see a reason....others do i dont thats why i asked this qeustion in the first place and about wc yes there is a diffrence between 60 to 99 but there is not diffrence between 80 or 85 to 99 you cut trees jsut as fast

[Made0f12une]

Depends

 

 

 

If you're buying the skill- No, you wont make ANY profit what so ever. You'll probably loose money if anything

 

 

 

If you're not buying the skill- Yes, everything you get from that skill (such as hunting) which can be sold for money (such as 50K Red Chinchompas for 35m)

[gamblingfool]

If you can't understand that people have goals, and to max a level is a major goal. It's basically bragging rights. You've maxed a skill, you can't go another level higher. It's a good feeling to see 99 on your stats page, not 98, 90, or 85.

[racethunder]

i got mu 99 today, im ok with 98 str but the cape + a maxed out skill just gives a little extra.. i luv it btw...

[Solidus_77]

A skillcape is like a spotlight that hangs over you wherever you go. Rarer the skillcape, the bigger the spotlight.

 

 

 

I have become the center of attention no matter where I go, it was TOTALLY worth all the effort.

[jimbob9999]

Its useless, duh? A couple of pixels that you look that and impress ppl with. Then the impressed ppl hardly are impressed, they just work to get one too in order to impress ppl. Endline, everyone wastes their life on them while jagex gets the money.

 

 

 

lmao!!! so true :)

 

 

 

Then it's just as useless as an abbysal whip, because that's only a few pixels that impress people with it's look and the high hits you can do, which are also just pixels. In fact runescape is made up of pixels, and basically everything we do in the game should be to have fun, if you enjoy leveling a skill and the cape lets you enjoy the game more then of course it's worth it.

 

 

 

His argument isn't so true, it's a stupid point.

 

Basically everything you do in runescape could be argued is done for the sole purpose of showing off and impressing people, it all depends on our reasons, and the points he made can apply to any aspect of the skills and items in runescape not just skill capes.

 

 

 

The only part that holds any truth is his last sentence, but if people are enjoying the game they're not wasting their time.

[revanlives]

Yes, a 99 makes all the difference there is. It especially does so for my skill, because many people respect and admire the 99 in the skill. Actually, the 99 is worth more than everything else there is to agility for me, because the cape lets people know you have that 99, where having it high but not 99 means that most people will never know.

[Guest]

Honestly the time it takes to get a lvl 99 of course just a cape isn't worth it. They look great and it's much better than what we had before which was nothing :lol:

[Pandaman115]

Why would people spend 2m and 2 hours on a CAPE?! THE OUTRAGE!!

[tripsis]

In my opinion, it's not all about the cape :? I was interested in 99s before capes were released. To me, it's just about the satisfaction of having completed a skill to the point where you can no longer level up. Sure the capes are nice because it draws some attention to something other than your combat level (since before skill capes, that was the only way you could find out what skills a person had without looking them up).. but I just like the satisfaction of having maxed out a skill (level-wise).
