As many of you know some capes are respected less than others. Such as the Fletching, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Cooking, and the Quest Cape. As we all know they do take time and concentration, sometimes money. Yet they are treated as dirt sometimes. Today I was playing and a level 83 called a level 103 a noob because he had all the capes listed as "Dirt" skill capes when this 83 had none. So my question is, Do you think these are just as valuable as the others?

 

Also, what is the most Respected Cape?

 

 

 

Discuss.

all skill capes are special, its just some are more common than others (fletching, cooking), so some people just assume you got one of those because theyre one of the easier to get. The Quest Cape is a very hard cape to get, seeing as how skillers cant get it, and people who say it isnt an Achievement Cape are just mad because they dont have one at all. Quests Capes take dedication to keep. Once you get a 99 skill, you have it forever, however, with a Quest Cape, you must do the new quest when they come out, else you'll have to go back to something else.

 

 

 

IMO, the most respected would be 99 Prayer, Slayer, Summoning, Construction, or Farming, mostly because those skills take ALOT of dedication and time.

Fletching and Cooking capes are worth nothing to me, sorry. They are just another skill you can pay for and not pay any attention, then in 2 weeks you have your 99.If that level 83 had level 70 slayer, that 83 would get more respect from me than anyone with just Fletching and Cooking Capes.

 

 

 

Firemaking is iffy, it's not hard, but it is a bit harder than Fletching or Cooking. As it actually requires a lot of attention. I still respect someone with a Fm cape.

 

 

 

Quest Cape, well i'm not sure about this one. For all we know they could've used a guide on every quest. Of course that works both ways. They could've not used guides at all. Nevertheless, the low skill requirements (I think it adds up to like 3m exp in all?) make it not so repspectful. But the fact that they have to continue working on their cape redeems it. Making the quest cape a pretty respectful cape.

 

 

 

Woodcutting is one i have no say on. It has some qualities of cooking and fletching, but some of harder skill capes, like low exp rates for a decent profit. I'd put it around the middle of fm-quest cape level of respect. (Quest being more)

 

 

 

Most respected would probably be Runecrafting. Can't be bought, must pay attention, low exp rates but a good moneymaker.

 

 

 

edit: And no one better use the "why don't you have it if it's so easy" argument. If i wanted to, i'd get it in 2 weeks. But i prefer a harder achievment. Such as Range or Defense. I like spending months on a skill instead of having it under a month.

All skill capes deserve equal respect because they are still all skill capes (including quest cape which is probably harder to get than some of the others)

 

 

 

However, i think that ingame people see the capes differently. Eg a lvl 80 with 99 cooking cape (t) is looked down upon, as having a easy skill cape. However a lvl 80 with something like farming (ut)would be given alot of respect by players higher than them.

 

 

 

I think the most respected cape depends on the level of the person wearing it. Eg a lvl 3 with a cape gets more respect than a lvl 100 with the same cape. Imo the most respected cape is slayer cape because of the effort needed to get it.

And any level 3 with a slayer cape deserves very little respect, because that is far too much no-lifeing with lamps.

I would disagree as far as "Buyable" skills go, after all when they are buyable they do have a cost, and that cost is pretty high. Certainly more than I could afford atm.

 

But certainly runecrafting is pretty high up my respect list, alomg with mining (esp combined with smithing) and Agility.

I think every cape should get respect as you spended many money and hours of playing to get it!

 

Firemaking is the one i want!

I don't think that any capes should be considered "dirt" but some should be given more respect than others. If I see a 65 with a trimmed fletching cape I'll put my money on him being a second account of somebody, and the trim on the cape is from cooking. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't get respect for those capes, but I would most definetly give more if he had some other kind of cape.

 

 

 

BTW: How is WC an easy 99? Anyone?

I just tend to respect Runecrafting and Slayer the most. You have to really know what you're doing and be deditcated to achieve them.

That's another thing. Just because someone "no lifed" doesn't mean they shouldn't get respect. They had the time for it, and still trained the ever so slow way of lamps.They deserve respect too.

 

 

 

And i wouldn't mind if they were buyable if they didn't have such high exp rates. But they are way to high for something you can just not pay any attention to for two weeks. Or maybe if the skill cost a bit more.

 

 

 

Like prayer, it's buyable. But it cost 100m+ and you have to pay attention. That gains it a bit of respect. Unlike cooking or fletching which require no attention and only cost at most 10m.

I don't think that any capes should be considered "dirt" but some should be given more respect than others. If I see a 65 with a trimmed fletching cape I'll put my money on him being a second account of somebody, and the trim on the cape is from cooking.

Not necessarily easy but so many have it, thus making it "dirt".

 

BTW im goin for fmin and wcin.

 

 

 

RobinHoddie I agree. If they have that much dedication to be lvl 3 but have all the not combats 99 they deserve respect.

 

 

 

Also everyone thanks for the input.

I must say that the total xp that you need for the quest cape is a lot higher than 3m, it adds up to close to But it is definitely higher than 3m [70 cooking req + 85 cmb req + 75 wcing req + reqs for Rocking Out already surpass 3m]) Also, the reqs for the quests keep increasing so the amount of effort to get the cape continuously increase every month.

Ah, i had forgotten the 85 cb req for a few quests. But i did agree with you in my post. The quest cape is respectable since you need to continue to work for it. Where as if you cook one shark after 99 cooking you go up 1000 ranks(exagerration but you get my point)

Yes ddaanniiellh, I would have to agree. The quest is hard to get and you only gt to wear it for a month because a new quest comes out.

Range along with prayer, magic, smithing, construction, crafting, and herblore are all buyable capes. Just, b/c they are more expensive does not mean they are not buyable.

 

Range-Chinchompas

 

Magic-Ancientz

 

Prayer-D-bones and Poh...might be fastest skill to get to 99.

 

Smithing-Gold ore

 

How can you look down on fletching and cooking, while you highly upon these skills. They should all be under the same category. "Can be done in two weeks with enough money."

 

Hunter is looked down upon too and you cant buy it.

Well I can counter your post.

 

Range-Still must watch

 

Magic-Must do quests first

 

Prayer-What if you have a house far from a bank or can't get your stuff from your house.

 

Smithing-I can't think of any for this yet.

I can do that pretty easily.

 

 

 

Range-Yes it may be buyable, but cost 3x more as cooking. Which means it takes 3x as long to get(i.e. making the money) and requires attention. I cannot stress that enough. That is the deciding factor in most capes.

 

 

 

Magic-Once more, about 60m? 6x more than cooking and fletching? And you need attention

 

 

 

Prayer-100m.10x more than either cooking or fletching. AT LEAST 10 times harder to get.And attention

 

 

 

Smithing-You need money and attention for this. PLUS the low exp rate.

 

 

 

I've never said anything about hunter.

 

 

 

You see, you can get the money for cooking or fletching and never look at your screen again. All the above require constant clicking and a LOT more money.

Please don't say Woodcutting is one of the easy capes I went to hell and back getting that cape!

 

But yes capes like Cooking and Fletching don't get much respect at all anymore.

Nearly all combat skills, Fletching,Thieving, Cooking, Hunter and Firemaking are not even close to being hard. The majority of them are afk, and those that aren't can be raised quickly if you have the money. To me the hardest skills ingame are Runecrafting, Slayer, Agility and Mining.

I never said it was easy i just said so many people have it so it isn't as respected.

 

 

 

People are just morons. Ignore them and go about your business.

That was cold hard evidence my friends.

The truth is, that's a non-question, it can't be established. Your basically asking which capes should be universally considered respected. That cannot be achieved, because respect is something entirely human, there's no fact, nothing to base it on. When things are subjective, there is no good or wrong answer no matter how much you'd want to argue about your opinion being better. If you respect a cape or not is a personal opinion.

i think they should deserve respect but just not as much as the more harder ones to get.

All you are saying is that you respect money. One buyable skill cost more than another, so you respect it more??? Why should you respect money? Someone could have given them the money or they could have scammed people.

 

I understand the paying attention part, but its not like you can't afk combat skills. And whoever had to pay attention to smithing.

 

For anyone who doesn't respect fishing or woodcutting, then how can you respect mining. They are all gathering skills some just give more xp per hour.

Someone could have given them the money or they could have scammed people.

 

 

 

um, where have you been? you cant really "give" someone money for a 99 skill. unless its hunter and you give them 20k worth of hunting equipment.

 

scamming? how? unless someone is coerced into putting items into the party chest.
