War_Junky_91 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's a shame the the Quest Cape cannot be trimmed. It has a cool emote and completing all quests has always been a nice accomplishment. But since it is untrimmed, it's mostly worn by lower leveled players who don't have 2 or more 99's, thus helping to keep it's reputation as a "noob" cape. If it could be trimmed, I would gladly wear mine some even though I have 12 other capes to choose from. I heard a while back that when there are enough Achievement Diaries released that you will be able to have your Quest Cape trimmed by completeing them all.

Drazhor Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 To be honest, look at it this way: Jagex brings out new quests every month, sometimes 2 *Z0mG* while you have to take more time to work towards earning the cape again, once you get a 99 in a skill you can't work anymore towards that 99 skill again as you have achieved the highest level. The Quest Cape on the other hand, seeing as I'm the proud owner of one, may require lower skills than 99, but still requires more patience and a different kind of skill to be achieved. Visit my blog!

Tijger2099 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have always respected the quest cape but I don't see why people think that the new quest would make it more respectable other then it just means you did one more quest. The quest itself was do able, it took much longer than an average quest would take but in general didn't provide an immense amount of toughness, patience was the only thing that it took (imo). Now people are saying that the new quest makes the cape more respectable because you needed all the quests finished to start it in the first place, including Mourning's end pt II (as a frequently given example in this argument), but that requirement was already in the quest cape it self, in order for someone to wear it he needed to finish all the quests already in the first place. Some people now asume that the new quest made the quest cape more respectable as if now it requires 100 more quests to do it, but in fact it was only 1 more (yet long) quest added to the requirement, that's it.

Da_Latios Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I respect the quest cape not because it is difficult to get, but because most players who own one have a deep understanding of the game.

Smavey Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I hope there's going to be an achievement cape released this month. It would be cool that if you've completed the achievement cape (which would look like the quest cape but green) and the quest cape, you could wear a mixture of the two! Like either a half green half blue quest cape! (or trimmed!) (or whatever colour green and blue makes together lol :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's on par with Cooking and Fletching imo. It's an easy cape to get because requires much less patience/time than another skillcape. It's also as good as free and it's the ugliest cape out there. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

It's only 1 more quest added but the requirements haven't changed much other than the fact you need 1 more quest and defeat the monster in the chaos tunnels.

Doing the quests alone takes more time than earning a 99 in most skills, let alone getting the skills for the quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allbot Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 the quest cape is the only cape that takes any skill at all, i think most ppl dont like it is because it cant be trimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punitive_D Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's on par with Cooking and Fletching imo. It's an easy cape to get because requires much less patience/time than another skillcape. It would be interesting to know how many people can wear quest capes right now compared to how many can wear the other skill capes. I know that I haven't been able to wear the quest cape since rocking out because I don't want to train up smithing. Jagex could set up a mechanism for tracking this, and I wish they would. In fact, I would like a page in the KB that would allow us to check how many of each cape can be worn at any given time -- this would go a long way, imho, toward resolving these incessant arguments about which capes are more prestigious. The more rare a cape is, the more prestigious it is. I just wish it were easy to tell which are the most rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofskils Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have always respected, and always will respect the quest cape. If i see it lined up against skill capes, to me it seems like more of an accomplishment as it needs constant effort to have one, whereas a 99 is complete once you've got it.. I think it takes a different type of skill to be able to get the quest cape. 99 cooking achieved 15/07/200799 hunting achieved 19/12/200799 firemaking achieved 29/11/2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugpoint Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A quest cape ensures that it's wearer has a fairly balanced out skills. A quest cape allows it's wearer to know about Runescape history and it's map. A quest cape cannot be bought. A quest cape is never permanent, unlike other skills capes new quests get released and the wearer must complete that quest again. Yes, it has got more respected but people will still say that it's "noob", however I can bet that these people are the ones without quest capes and usually have a skill cape. Well said I always respected quest cape - more hours go into it than some of the buyable skills. Plus, quest capes are the only ones you can't macro ;) Not that I've tried, thought I'd clarify that!

xSxqPowerx Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well the quest itself and the skill requirements are very easy. I had all of the individual quests, and easily the skills, but I was one of the people running around to get 50 qp. Still... a few days to get my qp to max is not nearly enough for me to want to buy the quest cape at all. Not saying that I don't respect it... just that it's ridiculous to think that it's harder than a 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 ...It's still a noob cape. Quests take no skill, especially since a large part of quests is running around Runescape playing delivery boy/girl with the odd battle thrown in here and there. Edit: And the highest level you need for a quest is like 75, right? That's like 1/12th the experience of 99, iirc. Quests take more "skill" than actually training a skill. Or did you think the mindless, repetitive skills such as fletching and cooking require skill? Questing might not be that hard, but some quests actually have some nasty parts. Also, quests might have a low skill requirement, but it still takes the time to complete all those quests. Not saying it's an epic cape or something, but it deserves more recognition than quite a few skills.

BBC3 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 it does take more time to do all quests WITH a guide even if you did them all before with all the items needed for all quests, than it does to get cooking or fletching. quest cape is harder than cooking and fletching end of story. also quests are just like combat stats, everyone who starts the game does quests or train combat, then theres the many skills to train, with cooking and fletching and firemaking being the most useless of those to train. 4000000657th to 99 cookin555555406th to 99 flethcin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smavey Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think the most impressive part of the quest cape is beating ONE SMALL FAVOUR. Probably the most annoying thing in all of rs. One of the most frustrating days of my life. I almost quit on my goal of completing all of the quests because of this little bugger. ARGH! Was not worth it!! And the end....after that longggg quest where you seriously WALK around the world of rs gathering random stuff, you talk to rantz, the final favour, and he helps you out....and then you realize...oh crud i have to walk all the way back around the world AGAIN!....until you get to last guy in twai bwo village and all he says "thanks" and walks away....and you're like "!!!" and then he's like "you took so long i could have just done it myself!" quest complete. wooooooooow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefoo Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Pfft, Quest Cape takes no skill... Cooking, come on, that's amazingly difficult. You never know when the lobster might run away and hide in a dungeon with horrid traps and a complex story behind it, challenging your puzzle solving skills to the max, not to mention ALL the boss monsters, oh the boss monsters! Oh, and you could burn your hand! If you ask me, the Quest Cape should be one of the most respected capes. It takes much less time than most other skill capes, but if you don't use guides, it actually takes THINKING, not just grinding for hours and hours. Of course, since most people can't be bothered to think, they just use guides, never even bothering to read the story, or do anything for themself. I suppose either people think "Oh it doesn't take a lot of time, so it's 'teh noob cape'", or "Ugh, just another person who follows guides and don't think for themself".

stormveritas Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If quest cape gave the same stats as trimmed capes, I think everyone who had one would wear it. It shows you're up to date in the game, you know the history behind the game, and that you're playing. An unfortunate side effect of macroers is that the simple click/go skills like fishing/woodcutting/mining are not trusted as much. The mining cape may be the most tedious cape in the game to acquire, but it could also be the easiest; unfortunately it's hard to give someone you don't know the benefit of the doubt. When someone wears the Quest Cape, there is no doubt they earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
