I wanna trim my cape too!

[nightzero]

If any of you have visited RSOF forums or even any popular smelting/smithing place, you probably know that many people are angry at Jagex for making such "high" lvl requirements for "Rocking out". I myself, am training my smtihing from 68 to 69 so i can retrieve me quest cape from that my bank (who knows what the bankers do with ure stuff when ure not there :? )

 

So after I finish this new quest, I plan on wearing my quest cape proudly and doing my emote every other minute on f2p worlds but I feel like I'm missing out. Why can't I get that lovely trim on my cape and +4 prayer bonus? Are quests noobier than clicking 500 million times to get 99 cooking and fletching? But of course many will say that quests require lower skill requirements. I'm sure that if you added up all the experience needed for every skill for every quest, the amount would be pretty decent. Besides thats not what quests are about, theyre about puzzles, bosses, gathering required items(used to take a while before GE) and other stuff. So I think either we need to allow the quest cape to be trimmed like any other cape, getting an extra cape.

 

The question lies here, should quest capes be trimmable?

 

And if so should it be trimmable via a 99 cape or should a new achievement cape be introduced...say minigame cape, achievement diary cape or w/e.

Been suggested many times, and I unno.

[r4ngewarlord]

i reckon so you basically need 13mil xp (99) :o :shock: :o to get the requirments anyway and as you siad puzzles and monsters are also there as well

[RyderJ]

Well, there's the experience, but there's also the time. I'm pretty sure it takes longer to finish every quest than it does to get most 99s.

 

 

 

I personally like that the new quest needed 69 smithing. We need quests with higher reqs. Already there's so little value on quest capes, it's sad.

 

 

 

With both achievement diaries done as well as all quests, I would like our kin to be more recognised. :P At least until I get my Herb/Agil cape. :lol:

[ddaanniiellh]

There was a post about the requirements to get a quest cape, and the amount of xp it adds up to is only around 8m i believe, however with the new recent quests, maybe an increase in about another mil.

 

 

 

However, imo, it takes a lot more skill and patience to get a quest cape, despite the guides out there, than many of the skill capes out there. Also, should definitely receive a trim once you complete something such as all the achievement diaries (After a few more are released)

So if a new quest comes out does your other cape become untrimmed?

 

 

 

I always thought it was a coding issue.

[Aresgodowar]

i always felt that since there are so many quests that when you finish all quests you get the trimmed cape, but when you don't have all of the quests finished, say a new one comes out your cape becomes untrimed.

[doomy]

Maybe, after more achievement diaries there will be an achievement diary cape as well to trim it.

[RyderJ]

Eh, beating the Achievment Diaries gives quite a reward anyway. But I can see a Quest Cape being trimmed for finishing them all once there are more out.

 

 

 

Maybe 5 or so. I want another one. The first two were great. :o

[Kaphias]

I think if you have had the quest point cape at one time but you currently don't have all quests complete, then it should be untrimmed. If you have completed all the quests, then it should be trimmed.

[Mr_Cheese]

I think if you have had the quest point cape at one time but you currently don't have all quests complete, then it should be untrimmed. If you have completed all the quests, then it should be trimmed.

 

 

 

But then that really defeats the purpose of haveing the quest cape? I think to wear it you have to have completed all quests and to have it trimmed either finish all the achievement diaries or have another achievement cape.

Whatever. I was just trying to throw a different thought out there.

[compfreak847]

I thought I remembered hearing something about a mod saying that achievement diarys will trim quest cape, but it won't be until they release several more, as it would currently be too easy.

[Inuashakent]

I say that the higher the quest requirement, the better. Heck, let's face it - Quest capes are the least respected cape in the game. And rightfully so, too. Even though it may add up to more total time than most skills, who actually has the patience to stick to one skill? Maybe this is how Jagex is thinking, or maybe because it's simply not a skill?

 

 

 

I do have a quest cape by the way.

I highly disagree with the quest cape being the least respected cape. The 2 most common factor that goes into how much a quest cape is respected is time and cost.

 

 

 

The amount of time that it takes to complete all of the quests takes a decent amount of time, in compared to the amount of time it takes to get 99 in certain skills.

 

 

 

Also, during the quests, you spend a lot of money on necessary supplies for the quests, although obviously not as much as skills such as prayer or summoning, but can still require a good amount, especially if you are low leveled (aka borderline combat for quest cape) or if you are incapable of doing things such as solving the puzzle in MM.

 

 

 

The cape may not be as respected due to the many quest guides out there, but it still is a rather time and money consuming cape that balances all skills.

 

(And yes, I've had the quest cape too)

There ya go. Quests are different from skills, I don't think they should trim each other.

 

 

 

Maybe quest capes could be trimmed if you have all songs unlocked as well. Which leads into a song cape (been suggested, I know.)

[Aquashock]

Are quests noobier than clicking 500 million times to get 99 cooking and fletching?

 

 

 

Yes

 

 

 

The lack of a trim makes the cape useless after you have 2 99 skills, but guess what...

 

 

 

You can't even alch the stupid cape -.- I've had 3 stuck in my bank for about a year now, that i cant wear because I don't do many quests anymore :roll:

 

 

 

Anyway, OT, if you could trim it with say, all achievement diaries, that would be great.

 

 

 

All songs is a bit much, since some songs come from minigames, and not quests.

[Tsar]

I don't think it takes any longer to get a quest cape than an easy 99 (ex: cooking or fletching). I accumulated ~200 quest points by the end of my first month in members, for example. Now, if you have multiple 99s, you won't care about whether the quest cape is trimmed or not, chances are you won't wear it that often anyway. So ideally the only players who will actually benefit from a trimmed quest cape are those with a single skill at level 99.

 

 

 

I personally don't support the trimmable quest cape idea. It'll just add to the already excessive amount of capes we can obtain. To be honest, players don't need it that badly, they just want an easier/alternative way to add a trim to their skillcapes.

 

 

 

As for people whining about the high requirements, I don't understand why! Alot of players want a hard quest every once in awhile, and when Jagex finally gives us that, the whining starts, that the requirements are too high, the quest takes too long to complete, there's too much walking.... etc. For god sakes, why can't they just go and do the damn quest, or if the requirements are too high, train their skills to the point where they can attempt the quest. If it takes too long to complete, don't attempt to do it in one day. If there's too much walking, just run. It's what they wanted, afterall. :roll:

[Master_Smither]

Hard requirements? Thats less than 1M xp in a skill for 1 requirement not that hard. The cape is just not related to skills so it's not going to trim them and frankly quest cape is easier than some 99's but not all because it's variety and not endless grinding of 1 thing.

[Maximusa]

Firstly, for the requirement, 69 is a pathetic requirement. They still cant count past 70 or very good at it. People need to work/play for what they want. (No disrespect for those who spent alot time achieving that goal, im not saying it deserves no respect because it does.)

 

 

 

Anyway, I think the quest cape should only be trimmed once there are more achievements and you have completed all of the achievements aswell as the quests.

 

 

 

They cant do that yet as well.. They kinda forgotten about achievements??

 

 

 

...Anyone who moans about 69 is annoying. (Not the OP) (Edit: Lol I just noticed what I said.. 69 isnt so bad.. *coughs*) Its WHY they dont realise higher stuff. 85 is hard yes. 80 is a challenge. Anything below 70 should just become a goal for someone who doesnt have it. I cant remember when I got 69 smithing but I do remember working towards 60 mining.

 

 

 

If you cant do the higher quests then tough luck lol. There are lots who could.. it wouldnt be a waste.. You dont NEED to do every quest. Just do the ones you have the requirements for. There is no NEED for a cape or nothing.. I would be VERY happy if they release a quest with 85 summoning requirement. That would be difficult for me to achieve. Which is good isnt it? I would love that.. I know it take me a while to get the requirement. Great goal...

There's more to trimming capes than getting fletching or cooking.

Well as for easy, few people have done the Varrock 3 as it requires 70 farming, so I agree with too few diaries, but not too easy. I think maybe after 5 are released they should release the achievement cape.

31k people have 70 farming or higher, that's quite a lot if you ask me.

[fubol]

quest cape > skill cape

 

 

 

quest capes should be trimmed imo

 

i totally agree! ;)

But over 40k people have 99 fletching and over 42k people have 99 cooking, that's quite a lot if you ask me
