Achievement Capes' Respect

[davidium]

certain skill capes are certainly less respectable than others...i am 100% sure that a 99 runecrafter spent more time and concentration on getting his 99 than a 99 chief did...

 

 

 

other skills are meant to show off how rich a person is such as con and perhaps summoning...imo the most respectable skill cape would be slayer followed by runecrafting...both require time, LOADS of time and concentration but i rank rc as second cause from 91 to 99 rc there is a great incentive to train rc but for slayer the only incentive is the cape...the drops that you get from slayer monsters are random no profit is guaranteed while for rc at least 600k/hour is guaranteed after 91...

[reverberates]

I think 600k an hour is a slight exaggeration, especially at the prices of nature runes and pure essence now.

[Poppet]

Its Runners bring pure ess double nats thats how you 600k xp

[x_bow80]

Im not sure why people haven't been talking about agility. I would say this could be the hardest 99 next to slayer and mining.

[D Jay99]

[hide=Calculations to prove Runecrafting 91 is still profitable]You can do 3000 essence per hour using a spirit graahk, which costs 12k. You use 1.2 graahk per hour, so 15k per hour used on graahks. You also use 30 super energies per hour, worth 33k.

 

Also, you need 3k pure essence, worth 471k.

 

Total Cost per hour: 519k.

 

You craft 6k natures per hour, worth ~270ea.

 

Total Value of natures crafted per hour: 1620k.

 

Total Profit: 1101k.

 

Who said it wasn't profitable anymore?[/hide]

 

 

 

I respect Slayer, Runecrafting, Farming and Ranged capes most.

 

Slayer, rc and ranged for their usefulness, and farming, slayer and rc for how long they take.

 

Why don't I respect mining? I despise the skill and think anyone with over 85-87 mining has wasted too much time on the skill :D .

[RyderJ]

Im not sure why people haven't been talking about agility. I would say this could be the hardest 99 next to slayer and mining.

 

I'm glad you think so, as that's probably going to be my next 99.

[matanui12321]

I would love to see more quests with 70+ requirements. Then the quest cape would finally be kind of hard to get.

[Tom_Servo]

All skill capes are pretty much the same. All they require is time. Some just take more time than others.

[Moad14]

First off, I'd like to say that I haven't read the entire thread, that would take far too long.

 

I did notice a pattern though, the general agreement is that if more people have 99 in a skill than in another, then the first skill is dirt. That's hardly accurate at all. Just because more than a few hundred people enjoy or can afford a certain cape doesn't make it any better. I actually see a lot of attack capes, but I don't give them any less respect than a slayer cape. For both, you have to work a good deal to acheive the 99.

 

I have two 99s, fletching and cooking. I got fletching because I enjoyed it, until the last level anyway. ;) I trained cooking solely for the emote, since I like to cook in real life. When I wear either cape though, people come up to me and insult me. I can understand if they don't respect my cape as much as other skillcapes, but to tell me is rather rude.

 

That example perhaps brings forth a mental picture of some level 37 wearing half iron and half steel. More often than not though, it's a higher-leveled player. Noob is an insult I can handle, it usually means that the other person is a bit of an idiot. But to say that any cape is "noob" or "dirt" is just beyond my comprehension. We should make an effort to never deride other players because they have have an "easy" 99.

 

 

 

Thanks for your time,

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.

 

 

 

but your saying a lvl3 with a slayer cape uses lots of lamps and not rings of recoil deserves no respect but your sayign a lvl 3 with 99 runecraft is better when they can just lamp it anyway?

[Money Wasted]

everyone who has gained a skillcape should have respect for putting their time into a 99 skill. its just how much you get. of course, you never see someone going omfg!!! a cooking cape!!! (unless their f2p) but fort something like slayer, your bound to see someone say nice cape

[wesley19933]

:shock: :shock: this type of thread again..

 

 

 

In all of the skillcapes, I respect:

 

Prayer, for the money cost

 

Magic, for the money cost(if bursting/barraging), or for the tireness of their finger(alching)

 

Runecrafting, for the boreness and the long time they used

 

Construction, mainly for the cost and boreness

 

Agility, for its boreness and slow xp/hr

 

Herblore, for the cost

 

Crafting, for the cost(if doing fast methods), or for their patience(if doing slow methods like shades temple, killing green dragons themself for hides....etc)

 

Slayer, for the time

 

Mining, for the boreness and time

 

Farming, for the cost or patience(if doing vinesweeper)

 

Summon, for the cost

 

 

 

So, most of them are respectable, BUT I hate skillcapes not if its common, easy-to-get, but for its look, better get the 99 and not wear the cape if its ugly :shame:

 

 

 

The capes that are ugly:

 

Strength, bad colour-designing, though the hood matches wc cape

 

Slayer, Yes, slayer cape is dull, though its hard-to-get

 

Herblore, personally I hate combinations of green+golden/red

 

Hunter, nice skill-icon but an ugly cape

 

Fletching, as I've said, ugly combination of green+gold, one of the 3 ugliest cape

 

Mining, waste of such a hard-to-get 99 stat, one of the 3 ugliest cape

 

Cooking, the purple of cooking cape is WAY worse than thieving cape

[Melos]

I love my Quest Cape. And I like the simple comments that people say when I am wearing it too :P. Of course there are some capes I respect more, but I do respect all of them with the exception of those that bot or hire people to level up your characters -.-. And that does still happen.

[IeatWindex]

Not many people have said WoodCutting is easy, and its not. People with 99 FM should also be respected because they fought EXTREME boredom. All the buyable skills like fletching and cooking should too be respected because people spent time to make the money for the skills. All capes should be respected :

[Clbyt]

All skillcapes deserve respect. They show that you've set yourself a lofty goal and accomplished it. Most are simply looked down upon because of their relative ease compared to others or the fact that they are slightly more common than the rest.

 

 

 

I won't bore you by listing my most "respected" capes in order of merit, but although I don't feel as awe-struck by someone in an untrimmed cooking cape than by someone with a runecrafting or slayer cape, I do feel happy that they set themselves a goal and accomplished it. Whether it takes them 2 weeks or 2 years, they should feel proud.

 

 

 

I own a quest cape and a fletching cape, one resides in my bank whilst the other is locked up in my house.

 

I'm slightly more proud of my quest cape than of the fletching, not because I found one easier or quicker, but because I have to continually maintain my quest cape, whilst I haven't actually found myself doing any fletching at all for the past year.

 

 

 

Basically, all skill capes are created equal. They're signs of sticking to your dreams whether you avidly sought 99 in that skill or just found yourself with it as a by-product of something else.

[Outsanity]

You have to face it. People get certain capes and 99s first because they are easy. Today, there are NOT many people with with untrimmed capes. If someone gets a harder 99, say, Smithing or even something like Agility. They usually will immediately go and trim it with cooking, fletching or firemaking, because those take little time and money to achieve.

 

 

 

My first 99 was Cooking and I went from level 85 to 99 in 2 days flat. My second was Fletching, which took about 1 week from 85, as I was not being entirely focused. Then I got Thieving, which only took a month even with the fact that I had school and couldn't play much every day.

 

 

 

Then I got my combat 99s. All 99 melee stats + 99 Prayer.

 

 

 

All of my 99s were easy to get, and most everyone (other than for prayer) has them. Right now, I am taking a different route. I am striving towards one of the hardest, if not THE hardest 99 to get: Slayer. It takes the longest to get exp even at it's fastest training, slower even than Runecrafting, which you can achieve 35k+ exp in an hour.

 

 

 

So once I have 99 Slayer, do you think anyone will care about the other 99s I have? Nope. Because Slayer is respected because it's hard to achieve and the others really are not.

 

 

 

It's nice to have a 99, but you're kidding yourself if you honestly think every cape is actually "hard" to get. Of course I am going to respect a cape (such as Slayer or Rc) that a person had to put probably over 600+ hours in to get, over a cape that someone had to put in maybe 50 hours to get.

[holiday]

I trained cooking solely for the emote, since I like to cook in real life.

 

 

 

That makes sense

[Maxana32]

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!

 

 

 

Flodder dont worry, it'll come :) And trust me, you wont regret it ;)

 

 

 

I personaly think that it depends on the skill...

 

And im not saying that whoever has 99 in this skill doesnt deserve as much credit as someone with a better 99 skill but,

 

say if u have tons of money, and you really want... 99 fm, so you buy 15k magics to burn for it... this isnt really as special because you havent really put much effort into it...

 

but say if you're gettin 99 fm and you buy 80k maples, well thats about 80 hours of non-stop burning for you (depending on your method)

 

But im not saying that the person doesnt deserve credit!! ...just not that much :roll:

If you're not correlating difficulty with level of respect on a one-to-one basis, get rid of the idiocy tumor stuck in your cerebellum. Let it get any bigger and removal will be impossible.

 

 

 

Flaunting three days worth of work is not something to expect others to respect you for. A Skill cape should be obtained for two, and only two things: either a) a love of the skill, or B) a cape with higher defense capabilities than any currently available to said player. If, as is the case for the majority of the owners of some capes, a skill cape is obtained for a main reason neither of those two, that player is an attention-seeker. Respecting this type of person for reasons that are, relatively speaking, not worthy any realistically tangible level of respect, is not wise and should be avoided. You are feeding their ego's and making them weaker psychologically than they already are.

 

 

 

Sadly, differentiation between an attention-seeker and a true lover of a skill is difficult at first glance, and, although, attention-seekers make up a large majority of "easy skill cape" owners, generalizations and stereotypes should be avoided. Subsequently, unless given logical reason to praise such people [the possibility that they are not an attention-seeker is reasonably high, they are your friend, etc.] laudation is unnecessary and unadvised.

[roanlo]

I just ignore all the [bleep]s that say that.

 

 

 

A few facts; the people who say that(dirt cape/easy to get) don't actually have a skill cape themself.

 

 

 

Some of them are just fat [bleep]a's that just play the game like a robot(refer to south Park's episode where the gang plays WoW)

[highlanders]

What's with all the skillcape "respect" topics anyway? It's getting really old, really fast. We kinda got the picture after the 10th topic.

[SwreeTak]

I think it's sad that some people call some skill capes dirt. Every 99 is an awesome achievement and those who have reached this level in a skill has worked real hard for getting it. But some skills are harder to train than others, and therefore I think that those with level 99 Herblore or Construction should have more respect of other players than those who have 99 Fletching or 99 Firemaking.

 

But still a 99 is a 99, and I think that all who have reached the max level in a skill should get loads of respect from others. Because a skill cape, whatever one it is, is still an evidence for that you have worked real hard in the game. A skill cape is never dirt.

Mining get you dirt :

[Robert_de_Sable]

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.

 

Construction is basically just an expensive fletching, you know....

[3hitm4g3u]

I remember when fletching was my favourite cape.

 

 

 

I used to wear it all the time until I started getting called a noob (and other variations of the word).

 

 

 

Didn't seem to matter to them that I had 11 other 99's including herblore and runecrafting (although when I switched my fletching cape to RC cape the comments tended to stop in mid conversation).

 

 

 

I don't think anyone should have to face verbal abuse from people due to their wearing a fletching cape, no matter how many or how little other 99's a person has.

 

 

 

Well, that's my two cents.
