i'm annoyed with people saying that you don't have a 99 in a skill so therefore you are not as good as i for i have a 99 in [skill]. huh? look buddy, you get a quest cape and go bs to me about how hard it is to get your 99 firemaking that you got in about 2 weeks. oh yeah and once you lose your cape because the skill level went up once a month because of updates i'll probably lend an ear. oh wait a tick! it doesn't! that's odd, quest cape you have too manage to hold on too? man that's some weird stuff dude. you know what's pretty weird too? for the first time in a year or 3, people have gotten a break from doing questing because jagex wants to focus on improvements rather than game additions.

 

 

 

i'm not "lazy" when it comes to rs. i did 3 of the 5 diaries, did all quests and have all my skills above 63. i have enough money to buy any of the more common 99's the fast way. i play this game for fun, not for stats. i do what i want and if i'm doing something otherwise it's so i can do something else in the game that's going to make up for the lack of enjoyment i'm having at that moment (run on sentence ftw).

 

i don't like not being able to do something in the game, hence the quest cape. i've played minigames for a month straight one time because i just wanted too. i've also done slayer too the point where i have more charms than i know what to do with.

 

 

 

don't criticize me because i play leisurely please.

Like hell it is. Getting 99 Cooking / Fletching takes less then a month, you cant get a Quest Cape within that time unless you litteraly no-life, with maybe 24hrs sleep total throught the month.

[hide=]First, you're basing that on nothing more than the time it takes to achieve the capes. Right off the bat, the quest cape is easier because it's engaging, and doesn't involve grinding. Time flies when you're having fun, as they say - even if the identity of 'they' is disputed.

 

 

 

Second - and this is where it goes into a slightly grey (or gray, I guess) area - most people with a 99 probably already have the requirements to complete half the available quests. A lot have probably finished half (or more) of the quests. Unless you have a total level of around 1000, you're probably pretty close to stopping the requirement-getting part and starting the questing itself. I don't think most people with a quest cape have level 92 or more in a particular stat - which sort of leads me to point three.

 

 

 

The process of getting a quest cape is different to that of getting a 99. I'd say that about 70% of quests offer a reward that would compel a player to complete it for no other reason than the reward itself. This means that by the time a casual player has decided that he wants a white cape with a strange emote but doesn't want to barrage rock lobsters for eons, he's probably already more than halfway there. The only skill you can really apply this phenomenon to is HP, and even then you're more set on getting a combat 99 before you even reach level 92 and don't realise that you're sort of getting to be halfway there. With any other skill, you probably realise that you want to get it to 99 at about the 2-3 million exp mark, which is around level 83. That leaves you with 10-11 million experience to go, and when you realise the RSI-inducing repetitiveness and vastness of the task, you're more likely to give up.

 

 

 

I'd say your analogy holds if a player is straight off tutorial island and the two choices are cooking and quest cape, but for the average, reasonably balanced player, the quest cape is probably closer and more enjoyable, and thus easier.

 

 

 

Also, the only skills with a high enough exp rate to make this frankly messy comparison competitive are fletching, cooking, thieving and perhaps firemaking. Runecrafting takes about 600 hours, compared to cooking's ~80. Melee skills are about 200, slayer is 1,000+, construction requires 80m before starting...[/hide]

 

TL;DR it's a difficult comparison to make, due to the starting number of quests/starting experience, how much the player likes skilling/questing, etc. But I'll say that most 99s are more difficult than a quest cape.

You need over 7m exp for a quest cape (not counting combat level requirments)+time to do the quests.

 

That is harder then alot of skill capes.

 

Yes, but that completely ignores the fact that most people with a 99 also have many of the other quest requirements.

Getting a Quest cape is harder than getting a skill cape, key word "hard"... Some of you people need to search up the meaning of "hard".

 

Skill capes take a long time to get and can be repetitive, but are in no way shape or form "hard"... Just because something takes a long time does not mean that it is hard, while on the other hand most of the RS quests are very, very hard, and need you to use your brain. Well unless you use Quest guides... :-# You can watch a movie while doing most skills.

 

 

 

Remind me what part of skilling needs you to use your brain and really think about what you will do next.... OH, OH NO!!! What log will I cut next, the left or right one, OMG my brain is about to pop!!! TOO MANY CHOICES!!! :wall: :shame:

yeah you know cause it's real hard to sit infront of a fire talking on a clan chat and cooking x amount of lobsters/monks etc. or sitting at a bank for however long putting a knife through a log and stringing them together.

 

 

 

now i'll go out on a limb and say that getting the skills that aren't money efficient, getting items that weren't buyable because the ge hadn't come out yet, and not having the luxury of a familiar/lumby ring/super energy potions to restore all of my run energy would be a little more work related than spending a week at edgeville setting a tinderbox to a pair of logs.

 

 

 

some other skills i will admit have a lot of patience to go through that is either as respectable or more respectable to a quest cape.

 

 

 

and another thing- there's a ridiculous amount of guides how to get 99 in any skills and for a large sum of levels, you're doing the same exact thing OVER AND OVER again. i can't stress how different it is compared to quest cape.

 

 

 

the way i see it, with getting a 99 skill you're adding number together. as you go progressively through the levels you have to add more digitis. so you start from like 4+9, then eventually you'll work up too 155,696,235+816,781,654 or something to that effect.

 

and with quest cape respectively you're doing division, multiplication, exponents and occasionally a proof (i find proofs near impossible) and it never ends.

As someone who has a Quest, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Fletching, Cooking, Hunter, and Thieving Cape - Quest was much harder to get than Cooking and Fletching. I even used guides and had a high combat yet it was still harder to get.

From 180 qps to 277, took me 2 weeks exactly. 99 Cooking took me about a month, but I agree, questing is harder then 99 cooking.

Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

I understand the process involved in getting a quest cape. I have a quest cape. That is why I state that getting a quest cape is easier, simply because it doesn't involve doing the same thing over and over. Plus the other reasons I already outlined, which you completely ignored.

 

 

 

I think your rant, and the million other rants with almost identical wording, can be fixed by this:

 

Get a 99. If it's so easy, and the insults are affecting you this badly, just get a 99. Or, see a psychiatrist. You have to understand that you're just developing a persecution complex, like everyone else. "BAWWW, people pick on me because I'm too skinny." "BAWWW, people call me names because I'm using an adamant scimitar." "BAWWW, people comprehensively demolish every last tenet of my cherished religion."

 

Everyone's got problems. If you can't deal with someone claiming that their account is superior to yours because it is, you need to rethink your priorities.

It really bugs me when people knock a firemaking cape. That is not an easy cape to get, you cant afk it and there is alot of clicking. I see more attack and str capes then i do firemaking.

The simple resolution is tell whoever is criticizing you the truth - That they're a nerd for caring about someone elses stats and gameplay styles, then laugh at them as they shout crap at you, and be on your merry way ::'

In my opinion, an achievement cape is an achievement cape, I have the same respect for everyone with an achievement cape* even if one person has cooking and another has construction, they both went throught the same thing, only the construcution probably costed more. Also, anyone who says that quest cape is easy to get, I have a few quests i'd like you to take on, such as Mournings Ends Part 2**, Recipe For Disaster**, Dream Mentor, One Small Favour, do them without guides, and see how easy they are then..

 

 

 

 

 

(*Except in the case of untrimmed summoning, slayer and hp, that's another story)

 

(**I did use a guide for these ones)

i'm not "lazy" when it comes to rs. i did 3 of the 5 diaries, did all quests and have all my skills above 63. i have enough money to buy any of the more common 99's the fast way. i play this game for fun, not for stats. i do what i want and if i'm doing something otherwise it's so i can do something else in the game that's going to make up for the lack of enjoyment i'm having at that moment (run on sentence ftw).

Dude, are you me?

 

 

 

Z0mg, same with me; I've played my account for 3 and a half to 4 years, and my stats definately don't show it. It's a game, for FUN. I hate people who judge you on your stats, stats don't make a person good or bad. (although the general rs population is a bunch of headstrong idiots. :wall: )

This feels exceptional on my under-carriage.

Get a 99 you fr00b

 

 

 

On topic: Way to go :P

 

you've discovered the meaning of rs. Have fun!

 

MMORPG stands for:

 

massively multiplayer online role playing GAME. It's meant to be fun. If you like clicking on logs for hours non-stop, then good for you. Some people don't. I say you should just do what you want.

 

 

 

unfortunately you will run into this problem with any mmo.

ok so you have come to the conclusion that a quest cape is harder than fletching/cooking that still doesnt make it hard. There all easy if thats what you want to do.

 

 

 

IMO firemaking is a very hard skill to get to 99 i know i never will get 99 i really am not that stupid to waste so many hours for no achievement. Unless you count an orange cape as an achievement and if thats the case go get a firecape. (without youtube)
