"N00b skillcapes" : they're also skillcapes!

[crow]

Well, I got respect for people with cook-capes since I find it an utmost boring skill.

 

Got quest-, str-, hp-, def- and att-cape.

 

First only had questcape. After that I used to wear str all the time since I was to cheap to buy the other capes and str was my first 99. Now I wear hp-cape when slaying. Normally don't wear anything while skilling, but now wearing questcape more often again.

rightly said demoliboy2.some more people like you & we sane players won't ever need to shout for our points that skill capes r really nooby (noob.. a disgusting word,but can't help.this uproar is more disgusting :wall: ) things.when would u cape-hunters realize that it's mastery of a skill that maters rather than those short bursts of insanity which signifies skill cape for u.

 

people want to wear a skill cape ...ooh how admiring..how R-E-S-P-E-C-T-A-B-L-E.well mr 99 fletcher/cook/firemaker tell me when u last enjoyed fletching/cooking/firemaking.u can't tell most of u haven't enjoyed it ever.skill capes are the greatest mistake of jagex.it made runescape much worse. :(

 

By now most of u are finding some choice words for me to use in ur angry retort.but haqve u ever paid attention to runescape before & after skill capes.

 

after skill cape release these following damages have occurred.

 

1) rampage of RWIT-s in every sphere of runescape-: cape hunters like demoliboy2 will buy a lot of raw materials for getting processing skill capes.so demand skyrocketed & RWIT-s saw scope for huge business.we saw thousands of accounts made just to gather raw materials & selling for real world money.i remember honest players having no space for gathering of resources.in those days u couldn't even walk 30 secs without encountering 2-3 RWIT-s.economy of runescape crashed.and the sole cause of that crisis was greed of cape hunters.we were much better of without these capes.

 

2) skillers do exists even in today's runescape.(yeah true skillers,not low lvls pretending to be skillers to hide their low combat stats, dunno why people feel shame to say they r newbies.we all were once.being a newbie is not a bad thing.but this is a different story).& u capehunters are making their life miserable.now how many noncombat 99-s they achieve they never seem to get their due respect.all for u disgracefull capehunters.

 

i know i sound rude.yeah i wanted to be rude.but capehunters do need to learn that having a cape in a skill means nothing unless u are a true master of that skill.then & then only u have reached 99 in that skill.after that it doesn't matter u wear the skill cape or not.

 

 

 

ps: one last parting word for demoliboy2.having a bandos pl8 or gs doesn't give anyone right to call othe person NOOB.i have almost all the precious things in rs including all gs.but i can never feel myself superior enough to call a lvl 3 newcomer NOOB.cuz the basic & only difference between that newbie & me is i joined runescape a few years earlier.keep this in mind.it will help

True, buying maples for 99 fm is only 3.5 mil (from lv 54) and its the second fastest skill (being thieving the level one), and i am firemaking just for the cape, but seriously, i'm starting to enjoy it, and the reason why most ppl dont go for 99 fm is because its a skill that req full focus, unlike cooking and fletching, however getting it to 99 without no lifingtakes quite a while, and i'm not asking to admire my cape (although when i have it i will :thumbsup: ), i'm just asking to respect ym choice.

 

 

 

 

 

peace

 

full focus....funny saying...not to belittle u, but in your mind, what takes more focus. mining or fm?

:lol:

 

 

 

to be honest, both seem the same to me, although mining takes 3 clicks per ore (if you are dropping) and firemaking only takes 2 click per log + the bank trip.

 

the only difference is that in mining you dont see the countdown to 99 (firemaking, in the oter hand, you can see those maples getting fewer over the time :lol: )

Well, i have to desagree you on few points:

 

 

 

firstly, you only atacked firemaking/cooking/fletching, so please tell me, when do you think a fisher, runecrafter, ectofuncter(or whatever people refer to people training prayer), woodcutter, and many others found their skill truly enjoyable, from the beggining to the end. I gotta admit, if i dont have anyone to talk or a few cool people on the bank i get bored, same to many other skills.

 

i'm not demanding respect for my cape, just for my decision to get it.

 

 

 

1) I dont think today theres that many rwt, since jagex precausion and updates (mostly sacrificial updates, like when they took our precious scorched lands :( ) removed most of them, these 3 skills aren't the main income for them. If you don believe lets see:

 

 

 

a) rune/pure essence- truly the main rwt income,that many runecrafters cant work without essence, ans as these mining products only need few clicks to get full inv and bank trip, theres no need add more more info.

 

 

 

b)gold ore- mainly merched for questers that need those high smithing level and for people trying to achieve skillcape, those were also a great source of income.

 

 

 

c)combat bots- mainly killing green dragons, these would gather vast amounts of d'hides and d bones for our dear and "respected" runecrafters and ectofuncters. these would also kill hill giants and even chickens, mostly for their bones.

 

 

 

d)red chins- when hunter came out, rangers saw this new cute little bomb, called chinchompa. This created a large demand for them, and bots also saw this as a good source ofimcome, it ididnt took too long fir the first hunter bots start apearing.

 

 

 

e)runecrafters- with the release of ancient magic, there was an urge to level magic to at least level 82, for that new and apealing ice blitz, or even 94 for th ice barrage. rwt didnt wasted this and started ruencrafting like idiots, sometimes buying ess from other rwt'ers and then selling nats for alching in a higher price.

 

 

 

f)plank makers- do i really need to explain this?

 

 

 

 

 

2) In this points, i agree parcially: most people when see a 99 fletcher level 120 cb and a 99 fletcher 30 cb, they respect the level 120cb (which raises another question:what is more respected now? combat levels are more respected then skil levels?). I usually do it backwards. If i saw this, i'd respect the level 30, as i bet he had much more trouble geting the money or the logs to 99 fletching. I don't think we should disrespect players for their skill, but for their level of maturity and respect for the other players.

 

 

 

about that little ps, i never called people noob because i had a b pl8 and they dont, i call them noob when they are trying to let me down as i'm training firemaking. and i never caled a newcomer noob. rare cases are those where i feel confortable by calling other people noob.

 

 

 

i hope you agree me...

i hope you agree me...

 

 

hmm i had to quote ur entire reply to give u answer..needless to say my answer will b a bit long so bear with me.

 

1) i'm not going ONLY against fm/fletch/cook-ing capes.though these 3 r worst of the lot.please read my entire post carefully.i'm going against all skill capes. even those i own myself.i hate all skill capes.

 

 

 

2) i won't respect u cuz u have a skill cape.what i pressed in my post & what u missed entirely is getting 99 in a skill is no big deal.give some time have patience ,u'll get any & every cape in rs.that's never the point of getting 99 in anything.what's good in having a 99 in a skill if u don't know every tips & trick of that skill. what's good a skill cape if u r not a master of that skill. sadly skillcapes changed this outlook of rs.now most players in possession of a cape in any skill hardly knows every tips & tricks of that skill. i can say that i'm a master of combat.not becuz i have all melee combat skillcapes.i can say so because i know every tips & tricks of all combats of rs & i can make ppl get 99 faster by sharing that knowledge with them.this is skill mastery.those of us who got their 99-s without cape's incentive had to know these before.but now with appearance of cape hunters whole scenario has changed.that's why i won't respect u lot.

 

 

 

3) i mentioned RWIT-s cuz how appearance of skillcapes inspired & invigorated RWIT-s.why u started giving me a list of how they work.if i want i can write a book on their methods. i & my friends have a intense dislike of RWITs & so we used to keep track of their method.(by the way,for ur information RWIT still exists in rs.but how they operate is not within the scope of this post).so most of ur post becomes useless .

 

 

 

4) there r 2 groups of so called skillers.

 

a) true skillers-they hate lvling above 3.generally they lvl all noncombat skills & some of them have 65 slayer too ( how? simple genie lamp & experience tomes)

 

B) low lvl cape hunter cowards- these r neither noncombat skillers nor combat skillers.they get some 60 to 70 combat lvls then saw people with skill capes & wanted to flaunt a cape proudly too. so they went forward bought some supply & got a cooking/fm/fletching cape. & yes only these 3 capes. if u ask them how to lvl cooking fast with minimum resources or how to lvl fletching in a reasonable time without buying all supplies or even how to get fm cape in 1 week (yes,possible but u have to b insanely lucky) they becomes deaf & dumb.sadly most of those low lvls roaming arround rs with their capes fall in this category.sad. sad for them sad for rs too.

 

 

 

5) in the little note in ps i wanted to say u that never hear the word noob from anyone at any point without a fight.cuz in ur post u told that ppl call u noob for doing fm.so i wanted to assure u that u r never noob for doing anything.even for cape hunting.

 

 

 

hope i made myself clear for all.

 

wish runescape had never seen the black day of release of skillcapes.

 

regards

[Demoli]

You're right, sorry, my bad, i didnt read your thread carefully.

 

 

 

Still i don't think those 3 capes shouldnt be dubbed as noob skillcapes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

peace

[kamikaje]

these r are called noobcapes cuz these r processing skills.that means these involve intermediate stages of processing of raw materials into final product.other processing skills are rc,herblore,con & summoning.but these 3 skills(fletch,fm,cooking) differ from other processing skills by

 

1) these 3 have raw materials which are easy to obtain.

 

2) these 3 needs least money to get the raw materials.

 

3) these 3 have high exp per task completed.means these have high exp/money spent ratio.

 

4) these 3 have minimum demanding other dependent skill requirements to lvl.

 

so these skill capes r not much favored.

[imzachhubla]

There are many opinions on this thread, but the only one that matters is yours. Which in most cases, will be:

 

 

 

"I'm going to do whatever the hell I want."

 

 

 

This seems to be one of the most popular opinions in the thread:

 

 

 

You should get a 99 because you like the skill, not because you want the cape.

 

 

 

This contradicts the definition of liking something. I like the cape, so I want to get it. Refer to the first quote. I'm going to do whatever the hell I want. And if I can't do what I want then why even play the damn game?

 

 

 

If a person doesn't even want the cape then that's a different story. But as long as they want the reward, what's to stop them? The potential respect of an insignificant person that they will never meet again?

 

 

 

Addressing the person who said anyone with 99 slayer/crafting/herblore etc. is an idiot:

 

 

 

If you dont like the skill, then that's why you don't have the cape (if you do have the cape, then you're contradicting your whole argument). How can justify that anyone who likes those skills is an idiot? If the fact that you don't like said skills is your only reason, then your opinion loses all validity right there.

 

 

 

I'll restate my central point: I will do whatever the hell I want. I pay no heed to the respect of others, because apparently I would have to play against my own will to do so. What is a game about? Insignificant respect, or doing what you want and having fun?

 

thank you very much!! :thumbup:

[dpattle]

tsk tsk tsk...you comments sadden me kamikaje. i dont think you realize the point thats so clear and easy to see. NO CAPE is nooby. and it's really not fair to state reasons why you think a cape is nooby...it doesnt matter how a cape is achieved, or if it takes less time, or less money( and fm/cook makes no money...u just loose, so technically it "costs more") a 99 is a 99, and a skill cape is still a skill cape. Noobs are the people who try to discriminate against any cape, or all capes. And the truth is, it doesnt matter if they enjoy the skill or not...or maybe they just enjoy one part of it...if they want the cape, they'll get it. i do understand your point about actually being a master of the skill. i'm pretty sure im just about a master of fm. just need the adze now. i even made a maple pyre ship ffs...and it is not easy for some1 of my level to get those dang chewed bones! in closing, as i believ this topic should also...a cape is a cape...an achievment no matter what. discriminating against capes is like discriminating against race or religion ffs....just on a mmo. the question we must all ask ourselves is...are we racist haters in real life? then dont be on a game. :shame:

here comes another one of those ppl..listen how many times i have to tell people like u to read my full post carefully & LINE BY LINE? :wall: evidently u never bothered to read my all posts.i'm against all capes.but specially of all capes i hate fm/cook/fletch

 

i've given my reasons to hate cape please be bothered to read them carefully before talking things.now about ur posts-

 

1) from where u got these data that cooking cape makes no money?get raw sharks then make them cooked & sell u r not gonna lose much money.and if u r smart enough(evidently u failed the test,sounds rude but sadly true #-o ) u won't lose any money in getting cooking cape even gain from it.(how?it's up to u to figure out,master firemaker)

 

 

 

2) cape is not part of the skill.if u r training a skill for getting a cape u have missed all the fun & missed to point of training the skill by a large margin.u may tell "it's my life & i can do whatever i want".ya u r right u can do.but it's the duty of other players to remind that person what mistake he/she is doing.

 

 

 

3) from where u got the idea that burning a maple pyre ship means u mastered fm?again read my post. learn what is meant by skill mastery in terms of sane/mature scapers. then argue.otherwise u r just wasting space.

 

 

 

4) lastly where exactly u found racial discrimination in our criticism of skillcapes? u may think urself very fashionable & smart by using context of racial discrimination in this arguement but u again proven ur ignorance here.racial discrimination isn't so fun a term to use everywhere.for u it's smartness for matures it's dumbness.ever faced racial discrimination? even knew what it's like? then why stamp a small argument as big as racial discrimination.

 

and that concludes my reply.

 

my parting line is- these mindless junk replies r inevitable i guess.cuz jagex made the greatest blunder in the beginning by making rs a game for 13+ yrs.which should b at least 18+ yrs

 

and the uproar begins...............

[skgbafa]

getting a skillcape takes a loyt of time and effort and those who have them know that (ive tried and failed many times). so would the ones calling you a noob because you are seeking a skillcape be the noobs themselves?

[Troacctid]

Kamikaje, I'm sure people would read your posts more thoroughly if you typed more legibly. :shame:

 

 

 

Oh, and...

 

1) from where u got these data that cooking cape makes no money?get raw sharks then make them cooked & sell u r not gonna lose much money.and if u r smart enough(evidently u failed the test,sounds rude but sadly true #-o ) u won't lose any money in getting cooking cape even gain from it.(how?it's up to u to figure out,master firemaker)

 

Manta rays. Tuna potatoes. P'apple pizza. Anchovy pizza. Karambwan. Butter churning. Gnome cooking. Wild pies. Curry. Chef's delight. Do I win?

[kamikaje]

u covered almost all the things i meant.good.i just didn't think about butter churning & curry cuz the final product is hard to sell.u proved u r a master of cooking. now it doesn't matter when u get ur cooking cape.u deserve it.by the way u forgot to mention cake.hmm... i don't like wide spaced writing so my post is rather crowded.if some more people think that my posts are a bit hard to read i'll definitely change. :thumbsup:

[Knightster]

tbh skills that can be bought to get 99 are noob skills, but this is only the simple skills such as Fletching (the noobiest skill).

 

I wouldn't say firemaking is a nooby skill as many ppl say they will get 99 but give up as it is very boring.

 

Other 'buyable' skills like herblore, pray, cook, construction and so on are to be admired. This is because they cost a fair amount of gp for example:

 

Herblore ~ 110M

 

Pray ~ 130M

 

Construction ~ 90M

 

Cook ~ 5M

 

 

 

Bearing in mind these are approximations

 

 

 

Skills that you have to work for suck as the cb skills are to be admired as garuntee you will walk past a player with a combat related skillcape and think 'God i want that cape'. In a way every skillcape should be admired as the player who has them has been determined to get them and has not given up.

 

 

 

If some1 walks past you and says 'NOOB' just simply say, i dont see you with a skillcape or anything decent so that means you must be a noob

 

 

 

Keep ur goals going, dont give up or you will miss out on that skillcape you desire :thumbsup:

[robert7854]

well after reading a lot of posts i figured i would put in my 2 cents worth.

 

firstly il start off with what i consider a noob cape: fletching strength cooking fire making

 

now i will give a reason as to why i consider them nooby capes.

 

 

 

Fletching- i consider this a pointless skill not even worthy of having a skill cape to go with the skill yes it is tedious work yes it requires patience but it can be gotten in 2 or 3 weeks depending on how much you play. estimated cost for 99? i can do it with spending 14mil... final thoughts?

 

take out the X option and maybe il consider it a skill. - on a side note there are some fletching capes i respect the ones that were achieved before the fletch X option and one of my friends even mined her own essence to craft the nats to alch the bows :o and even picked the flax then spinned it to make her bowstrings and of course cut her own logs :D thumbs up to you mike and drizzy

 

 

 

Cooking- my friend went from 93-99 cooking with monks in less then a week...what else needs to be said... final thoughts? again... take out the cook X option and maybe i will consider it a skill

 

 

 

 

 

fire making- out of the noob capes this is the only cape i will give the time of day to. it doesnt cost a lot and is fast to train which is why i consider it a noob cape. BUT what sets it appart from the other noob capes is the fact that you must actualy do the clicking to train it there isnt a burn X option...final thoughts? because of how inexpencive it is and the fact that most people wont actualy cut there own logs it will always be a nooby cape but still a cape worthy of recognition.

 

 

 

Strength- why i consider this one a noob cape might take some expaining

 

reason 1) theres over 60000 strength capes

 

reason 2)people dont seem to see that with 70 attack and 99 str they wont ever hit

 

reason 3) i hate pures

 

reason 4) most people with untrimmed str capes are cocky arrogent jerks (sorry to people who have untrimmed str and are not jerks)

 

as far as capes go i have ALWAYS perfered attack over str and im sick of walking into the grand exchange and seeing 17 people with untrimmed str capes... as far as im concerend i put str in the same bin as fletching... 'nuff said....final thoughts? people with 99 str 70 def and 70 atk are morons...'nuff said

 

 

 

 

 

lets move on to what i consider a real cape

 

a real skill cape is something that people cannot buy (fishing mining hunting ect) or skills that cost countless millions of gp to buy (herblore smithing prayer ect) heres a few exemples of just that

 

 

 

Slayer- the cape and 99 i have the absolute most respect for it requires countless hours of hard work and dedication to achieve it its a skill that CAN NOT be bought... final thoughts? do i really need to say anything?

 

 

 

construction- only diference between this and fletching is 400mil(yes i know people can get it for a lot less but 400mil is is the avrage cost of those overkill mansions i see)... final thoughts? despite it being a higher level version of fletching (and i dont mean in terms of training it) it still desierves the utmost respect same thing for herblore and prayer

 

 

 

now i know people are going to hate on me for posting this and saying why do you hate on those capes? and heres why they all have 50k+ people with 99 in the skill and im very sick of seeing untrimmed str and untrimmed fletching when you get a 99 it shouldnt be for the cape it should be because you love the skill people who train a skill even tho they dont enjoy it simply for the cape honestly havent earned it and earlier on in the thread who called people who powertrain no lifers all i have to say to you is shut up i no-lifed my 99 atk and i enjoyed it tbh. -final thoughts on skill capes DONT GET THEM IF YOUR SIMPLY AFTER THE CAPE (unless your a skiller ;) )*points at drizzy* only go for the 99 if you truely love the skill ( i <3 you attack).

 

ps~ im coming for you hp :D

[Bladeangel3]

No, they arent also "skillcapes". They're just something someone can buy.

 

 

 

Skillcapes were originally a sign of dedication to a skill, but now they're just something someone has. Its pathetic.

 

 

 

Nooby skillcapes (Ones people can buy):

 

 

 

Firemaking

 

Cooking

 

Fletching

 

Ranged (WHY?!!)

 

 

 

Common skillcapes (One you cant buy, but see often)

 

 

 

Strength

 

Hitpoints

 

Attack

 

Thieving

 

Woodcutting

 

Magic

 

Summoning

 

 

 

Uncommon skillcapes (Ones you dont see too often, and are fairly difficult to achieve)

 

 

 

Mining

 

Slayer

 

Construction (Seriously, it just drains cash.)

 

Prayer

 

Smithing

 

Agility

 

Herblore

 

 

 

Masterful Skillcapes (You gotta love the skill to get these)

 

 

 

Crafting

 

Farming

 

Hunter

 

Runecrafting

 

 

 

NOTE: By "buying" I mean a skill you can achieve just by having cash. Normally fairly quick to get as well.

Nooby skillcapes (Ones people can buy):

 

 

 

Firemaking

 

Cooking

 

Fletching

 

Ranged (WHY?!!)

 

 

 

Common skillcapes (One you cant buy, but see often)

 

 

 

Strength

 

Hitpoints

 

Attack

 

Thieving

 

Woodcutting

 

Magic

 

Summoning

 

 

 

Uncommon skillcapes (Ones you dont see too often, and are fairly difficult to achieve)

 

 

 

Mining

 

Slayer

 

Construction (Seriously, it just drains cash.)

 

Prayer

 

Smithing

 

Agility

 

Herblore

 

 

 

Masterful Skillcapes (You gotta love the skill to get these)

 

 

 

Crafting

 

Farming

 

Hunter

 

Runecrafting

 

 

 

NOTE: By "buying" I mean a skill you can achieve just by having cash. Normally fairly quick to get as well.

 

 

 

 

 

If thats what you mean as n00b skillcapes (can be bought), then y arent Construction, mage, smithing, etc in ur 'n00b' list? they have nice exp rate and can easily be bought. Nothing more nothing less...

you should put mining in "masterful", because no one willingly trains mining (i am an exception, but people say somethings not quite right with me -.- ). also, theres no real monetary benefit to mining since mining rune takes forever.

If you have the time to work a skill up to level 99, show your cape off with pride, no matter what the skill is.

 

Yes, some of them are much more common and quicker to increase than others, but it's still a skillcape.

 

I've recently decided to work my way up to 99 hunting, i don't have any other 99 skill and at 69 hunting I'm already overwhelmed >.<

 

Why am i doing it? Because I've loved it since the day the skill came out!

 

My highest skill is fletching at lvl 87 and i've gotten that there for the pure reason that I like to make money from it and I've worked my way up to at least buying myself a Robin (hehe...i can't high alch), but when I'm out hunting, people ask me all the time if i've borrowed it and call me a noob. They look down on hunting because you can't make money from it and it doesn't take any "real skill" but at least im enjoying and every level i feel proud of myself for doing it.

 

I certainly look up to people with any combat skill at lvl 99 and if you have one and are reading this, I don't know how you do it.

 

But any others who are going for it deserve respect too. People with one of those "easy" capes, good job to you too.

 

Is it as impressive as say 99 slayer? No.

 

But if you worked your butt off for it and felt proud for doing it, you deserve respect.

 

 

 

Sorry to point out the critical flaw in your comments: Hunter is an incredibly lucrative skill to get to 99, assuming you know how (and that really isn't too hard to fathom). Chincompas, even just using them from 80-99 should net you a minimum of 30-40m unless prices have changed a lot since I could last be bothered to look. So for the record, that's not a reason for people looking down on hunter!

 

 

 

Other than that, fair points.

[waheera1]

firstly to all of you idiots out there that are saying "Learn to spell" or watever......learn to freaking read....the guy said that english wasnt his native language....so obviously he's foreign......

 

 

 

secondly, whats wrong with fletching fm and cookin capes....just because you can by the skill cape doesnt mean you did i think that all those people out there that got the skill cape the proper hard way get called noobs etc for no reason......me for example....i decided 4 weeks ago i was goin to get 99 fletching....simply because i like it.....but i also like wc so i thought to myself why should i pay for 99 fletching.....so im not...i am not paying on single darned GP for 99 fletching but once i achieve my goal (hopefully around april) i will have 99 wc, 99 fletching, 70 mining, 70 rc, 70 craft and 91 magic....and even though i will have gotten my cape the way im doing so.....ill get called called "noob" etc....but at the end of the day....i know i got my cape in a way that not many people do....and i can smile and think "ha! i bet you wouldnt get it the way i did".....anyway my point is this......the cape is not nooby in certain ways.....sure if i see someone with a fletch cape i wonder ..."did you buy it or earn it"...either way its a cape.... i feel that people who get their cape by earning it are a lot more respectable than people who decide on a whim to buy the cape because then they can say they have one.....but there is no noob skillcape

 

 

 

Anyone else find it ironic that someone lambasting people for criticising spelling errors punctuates his own post completely incorrectly?!

 

 

 

Added to which you can't really BY a skillcape. :-P

[hybrid2hell]

I'm going for 99 Fm, not for the cape because I actually do enjoy firemaking. I just listen to music, talk in cc, and leisurely click on my logs. Think I'm BS'ing? I'm f2p, so no chance of cape.

[impironwood]

I see nothing wrong with working on a skill and achieving 99. I have because I enjoy thieving. I did not buy the cape because I do not want it or need it. It is enough for me to get the 99. I made money at it and still go back and pickpockets at least once a week. Its relaxing and fun, but some people dont understand that and call me a lier untill they look up my scores. I do not really care what anyone thinks i achieved my goal and now I do it just because its fun.

Okay. I have 35m gp. That's enough for 99 cooking, firemaking, AND fletching, right? I suppose I'll just go to the Grand Exchange and buy them all, then. La di da...hmm...I don't see them listed...I guess I'll go speak with Ignatius Vulcan, he can sell me a fm cape, right? Da dum...hmm...no, he says I need to do something first. Oh, what, you mean I actually have to train? Sorry, I was under the impression I could just shell out 4m to someone and get a firemaking cape. Can't I do that? No? You mean I need to spend more than 80 hours of training first? Fine, I'll try fletching. What, you mean I need to train that too? Well that's just [cabbage] now isn't it.

 

 

 

You have no idea what it takes to get level 99 in a skill if you think you can just "buy" it. You think fletching is n00by because it's "buyable"? Well guess what--thieving is faster to train, and it's free. And where do you think all that money comes from? This is Runescape. Every player starts with less than 100 gp in their bank. Every player needs to earn their wealth. Or are you saying that only RWT'ers have cooking capes? If I spend 300 hours to earn enough money for enough ingredients to get 99 herblore, and another 60 hours putting them together, what makes my cape less valuable than a player who spent less than 70 hours getting 99 thieving without spending a cent? You think that money came out of thin air? You think I didn't work for it, when I spent more than four times as much time getting the money as the other guy spent training to 99? You think I didn't work training the skill, when I spent sixty hours of my life on it? Did you think that you could just hand that cash to a genie and he'd hand over a 13m xp lamp?

 

 

 

Bottom line: stfu.

 

 

 

Oh, and summoning is a common skillcape? Lol.
