ChickyBee32 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 There's been much discussion, debate and argument recently over which skillcapes are more respected than others. Which lead me to wonder, when it's common knowledge that certain cape are less respected than others, why do people still continue to go for those capes. Which then made me wonder why people go for the capes they do. I've currently got a Quest Cape that I'm pretty pleased with, which I choose to get because I love questing and wanted something to show that. I'm currently trying to hit 99 woodcutting, because I want to make money easily and I have no intention of 'buying' a cape. Basically, because I;m lazy. So, tipiters, why have/did you choose that particular skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 i did agility as my first 99 cause i liked it kinda just happened and it was fun i did cooking as my second 99 cause i had 2m in bank and didnt know what to do with it....(yes im super poor for my level.........) im going for all 99s cause i play this alot way too much and like a challenge. next 99 is strenth cause its the only combat skill i would train outside of slayer and abby demons will make cash...(finally..) lol people get fletch/cook capes sometimes for the bonus you still get more respect than obby cape i think.

Sky_Assasin9 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Agility, Ranged, Hunter, or Thieving... I love them all! I plan eventually to have 99s in all of them, but for now lets take it one step at a time.

Master_Smither Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well I choose 99 Smithing because it had always been something I wanted and realy had no plan for the summer.

samurai_lassie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 My first 99 was mining because well... It is the only skill i truly like except farming, most people do a 99 they enjoy most do it for the cape at the end but i doubt i will ever be 99 in a skill i truly do not enjoy all the way through thick and thin. 563rd to 99 mining on 15/08/0799 Farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaerehw14 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well, I have decided to go for 99 defence. First of all, its not the most common combat skill to get 99 in just because people tend to go for strength and attack first. It's also my favorite combat stat to train. When people called me a def noob in the wild at level 80 when i had like 70 defence, I decided then that it would be my first 99 combat stat just so I could go back and be called a def noob for a reason :P But I'm not powertraining to get the level. Just slayer and other random training at the moment. I don't see the need to rush anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouse_ Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Most people get easy capes just for the hell of it. Imo, you should only bother if you actually enjoy that skill, and not to be one of 30k people with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he do it, even though there's NO point?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? After all, NOBODY gets a 99 just because they like the skill or because it makes money, they just do it to get the respect of newbies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harrington Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I did cooking about a year and half ago and it was my first cape. Despite the number of people complaining about how common these capes are, remember that the vast majority of people DONT have an achievement cape at all. This is why so many strive for one and naturally, they often go for the one that's easiest and requires the least work. I have achieved the two easy capes and have since set my sights a little higher. I recently attained the Crafting cape and am now about 2-3 weeks away from the Slaying cape. I choose to do these since they are harder and slightly more fun to do (plus Slaying can't really be bought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
