I am a cape snob though because I find that someone who has 99 cook or fletch wears their cape 24/7 and they tend to be newer to the game.

 

Okay, how would you know that? That's just completely made-up. Not even close to true.

Personally, I can say I've enjoyed training all my skills to where they are now. There may have been a few I liked more than others but overall I liked doing them (hunter is my least favorite). Occasionally I'll run into people that may look me up in the hiscores and ask if I'm going for top 21 overall rank and I respond saying that I set goals and do what I enjoy (currently working on 200m fletch/cook and all stats 20m+ xp)...if I manage to get into the top 21 while accomplishing my goals then that's fine with me, just a bonus I guess. So I say, just do what you enjoy doing and set goals for yourself and try to accomplish them and don't listen to what other people say if they criticize you - it's a game, meant to have fun ;)

Honestly, I think anyone who wears this cape is awesome.

 

 

 

Man, I'm awesome now :lol: seriously though, every 99 skill is an accomplishment, regardless of the skill. Just some people really undermine this. And those who really enjoy the skill (like me, I always fletch whenever I'm farming or taking breaks from other skills ) are really dragged down by those who want it for the cape. And the cape's aren't that awesome anyway. I felt great getting the skill to 99, not when I bought the cape.

 

 

 

Sometimes its about working smart, not hard.

 

 

 

I'd siggy this if my signature had enough characters. Very true statement :D

I think any skill that is 99 is an impressive feat, just because its easier than other skills doesn't mean it doesnt take a lot of time to get.

id rather get fletching than str....i think str is way to overated

i see your point.

 

 

 

personally, its not that I don't think of it as "bad" 99, along with cooking, its just that its not as impressive as something like rc or something.

 

 

 

it more just bugs me when people brag about having a 99 in fletching or cooking to someone with a 99 in something more impressive (no offense).

 

 

 

and about going for the easier ones first...im pure f2p, so fletchings not really there for me. cooking would be the easiest skill for me. instead, I'm going for 99 smithing first (94 atm). surprisingly, and i dont know if this makes sense, but I didn't have the patience for 99 cooking, which would have taken me about 1-2 months, and less than 15m im assuming? i've been working on 99 smithing since february (started gooing for 99 at level 51) and being a poor f2p noob, its not that easy. yet somehow, i have the patience for this instead of cooking.

 

 

 

smithing has also raised my magic level a ton (from 71-91, with 112k xp left till 92), and so after 99 smithing i will probably go for 99 magic. I also want 99 mining, as it isn't a "buyable" skill (although i still REALLY like smithing, if you can't tell by looking at the rest of my lower-level stats), and it will go with 99 smithing pretty well, and you its not something you can afk from like fishing (don't take it the wrong way fishers, i know most of you high level fishers probably don't afk cuz you have to pay attention to changing fish spots and stuff, im just saying you can afk from it, it will just waste a lot of time).

 

 

 

I may choose to go for 99 cooking before i go for mining, or in between mining. the last time i tried going for 99 cooking was around november, and i started as level 55 or 56, got to level 72, then gave up. i guess you could say its not easy for me =\

 

 

 

Shows what passion means.

 

 

 

I personally can't stand runecrafting (level 7 ftw!), even though it isn't really hard getting above 30 or so runecrafting, whereas I have a lot of patience for things like mining and smithing.

im not saying the skill is cruddy i loved it sometimes still do but the cap is fugly... mage cape looks so much better he he

In honesty, Fletching does deserve to be bashed... I achieved 99 fletching around 3 years ago, solely stinging over 150k bows to get it... I was the 4k person to get it and before the announcement of skill capes only around 5.5k people had it... And that was before this ridiculous 'string x' option.

 

 

 

The 'x' option has completely killed the respect for fletching and it IS very easy, hence the 10's of 000's of people who have it.

 

Want a 99 cape? Everyone gets fletching, because it IS easy... Its the most common (U) cape, because it IS easy.

 

 

 

Tell me what is exactly hard about clicking on the bank a few times a minute and letting your little man do all the work?

 

To be honest, fletching doesn't deserve any recognition as it takes about as much time as getting 85 agility. Theres a reason why people bash it, so don't come here ranting and raving and telling people to 'suck an egg' when you have decided to go for the EASIEST skill cape in the game.

 

 

 

Furthermore, i dont think i've ever seen more than maybe 20 people flaming others for the fletching cape in my whole time of playing Runescape... So im quessing you engaged in an argument with someone, unprovoked or not, and he 'bashed you' for having the easiest level in the game... And as a result, you huffed and puffed and came on here to rant.

The key here is how much respect you give to other accomplishments that require similar amounts of time. Skillcapes like fletching often attract a disproportionate amount of disdain from people who would otherwise admire something like a set of full dragon, a low-end rare, or a set of Lord Marshal clothes. It's hypocritical to think of a fletching cape as n00by if you find a thieving cape to be a significant accomplishment.

Agreed.

 

 

 

Just because a cape is easier than the rest of the capes, doesn't mean its EASY.

 

But compared to others, it is easy. Fletching capes are ugly imo and I don't really care if people get it to 99 that much. Just boring to see the cape all the time, though.

I agree with this statement, however just because a skill takes the same amount of time to train, doesn't make them as hard. Blackjacking is a very painful way to train thieving, a bit like old-style fletching, and Pyramid Plunder requires alot more concentration. Many skills can be levelled to 99 in the same time or even faster than fletching, but in fairiness, other than cooking, they're all harded...

 

 

 

For example;

 

 

 

99 Range using chins... Over 300k xp an hour, however you need to find the 45m+ to get it.

 

99 Construction.... I've heard about 150k+ xp an hour, however very expensive.

 

99 Pray... Very fast xp, but again very expensive.

 

 

 

I simply dont agree with his rant, because fletching, now, is TOO easy. You could get it in the same it takes to make the money for full dragon.

Fletching capes is how we all spot the noobs.

 

 

 

Worthless cape, i refuse to get it. Fletching will be the last cape i ever get.

Prayer, construction, range, and such would be totally out of the ballpark, because you have to lump in the time needed to earn the money in order to evaluate them accurately.

 

 

 

[hide=Aside]Range might take 45 hours to train to 99, but then it also takes another ~150 hours for an average player to earn the money for it. It averages to just slightly faster than woodcutting teaks to 99 woodcutting. So if you evaluated skillcapes solely on the basis of average time required for 99, ranged would be roughly on equal footing with woodcutting.[/hide]

 

 

 

As far as thieving taking additional concentration, that's balanced out because it's also faster xp than fletching. Well, unless you're fletching something (like arrows) that takes just as much concentration. And anyway, firemaking gets the same bad rap as fletching and cooking, and it requires constant attention just like thieving. In fact, it's also slower than thieving.

 

All you haters can suck an egg.

 

uh............................... hmm, eh.....

 

 

:thumbup:

id rather get fletching than str....i think str is way to overated

 

As Do I...

 

 

 

(No offence to people who like str.)

 

Even though I would love having 99 str more than 99 Flecting.

Although all 99's do take some time, to me there is a clear division of difficult/easy 99's.

 

 

 

In my opinion, i'd rank fletching, along with cooking right at the bottom. The exp per hour and low price really makes them both not 'difficult' in my opinion. The most difficult, to me would be slayer/runecrafting, on t he basis that none of them are buyable, not only is the XP slow, but you have to click almost every other second to get that exp, contrary a semi-afkable skill, like woodcutting or fishing for example.

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding going for 99 everything, I don't think you should be doing it the way you are, i.e "grinding out the worst ones first." Play the game as you want to play it, get the skills you enjoy first. Afterall, you could get hacked/banned/quit, never getting round to doing anything you want to.

If you have a 99, I respect you.

 

 

 

If you have 99 slayer, runecrafting or mining I admire you.

 

 

 

If you have 99 everything, I pity you.

hm again I have nothing wrong with the cape, and I guess its more the other people than the cape or whos wearing it, but...

 

 

 

I'm at ge, and ppl go up to a guy around my level with fletch cape. "wow nice cape". or words to that effect. and I have no problem that people are complimenting it.

 

 

 

I just hate how none of my skills get any credit. I know very few of them are good, but my 95 smithing definately took more dedication, hard work, and time to get than his 99 fletch. Not to mention hes p2p and im pure f2p, so he makes way easier money.

 

 

 

and yet, I get nothing. im not asking for attention, and idk if i really want it. its more the fact that fletch is easy, and ppl glomp the dude, and smithing isnt extremely hard, but im still next to worthless. it just doesnt make sense to me.

Unless you sit around quick chatting your smithing level, no one would know how high it is.

 

 

 

And I would have 95 smithing over 99 fletching ANY day.

yeah thats true.

 

 

 

and as tempting as it is to brag, I try not to unless im asked or the topic is brought up...

 

 

 

I am a cape snob though because I find that someone who has 99 cook or fletch wears their cape 24/7 and they tend to be newer to the game.

 

 

 

.

 

i play this game 7 years and im wearing a fletch cape all the time? guess im newer to the game then most people then

Well, clearly your isolated case completely undermines his properly qualified generalisation.

Tendency: 1. a likelihood of behaving in a particular way or going in a particular direction; a tending toward.

Agreed.
