Why do people wear skillcapes?

Featured Replies

If i had any 99s, which I don't (:thumbdown:), then I would wear it because it shows achievement. Oh and they look awesome :D

Some of them do. The colours of the cooking cape (red and purple) don't really match IMO. :P

 

I think that's because the colors are so close on the color wheel.

Probably. :o

 

The only thing it really even semi-matches with is full Dragon, but even that's not very close.

And dragon full helm/platebody is a waste. :P

Indeed, they are. :thumbup:

It's all about looks/styles/personality.

 

Prayer cape emote and style is tight! It's my favorite Skillcape in RS.

You should get a trimmed thieving cape instead. :thumbsup: Thieving is a very fast skill (200K+ an hour at higher levels) and the cape's awesome.

It's got the same base colour (purple) as cooking and the trim's colour (black) matches nearly everything.

Dunno. Only pros wear Guthix Capes.

Some of us really don't give a rat's ass what the rest of you think of our in-game apparel.

 

Thank you. couldn't of said it better myself <3

I don't know which mod did this. I don't know why they did it. If they're looking for money, I can tell them I don't have any as I'm a student. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over 4 years of RuneScape. Skills that I have worked hard for and people like them can't take them away. If they give me my particles back now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for them, I will not pursue them. But if they don't, I will look for them, I will find them, and they won't like what'll happen

I wear soul wars cape 90% of the time, firecape 5% of the time, and ardy cape 3 5% of the time for its stab bonus where I feel its necessary for rapier :)

Eh, I guess its because people want to be sure everybody can see their dedication and effort they have put in to this game or simply because they want to show everybody that they are better than them.

 

Never heard that one before. :-|

My maths tells me that 90 + 5 + 5 = 100 :unsure:

He read ardy cape 3 5% as ardy cape 3.5%

That is exactly what I did. Bringing us to a new point: You range in sw cape? I suppose for chinning it makes sense but for armadyl?

I wear my wc cape because of the shoulder drapes. It looks cool with monk robes and other armor in general. I wish all capes had those should drapes.

65,280 to 99 fletching on 3-14-09

40,405 to 99 woodcutting on 10-17-2009

By your logic I shouldn't do something because someone else already did it. Guess what? Someone else, many people actually, have complained about skillcapes. Why the **** are you too?

uhh......what? :huh:

Idk about you, but I think the drapes make the skillcapes look too bulky and causes most of your equipment to graphically mess up

a bit...

I love the look of my skillcape, with the "ropes" or whatever they are hanging down in the front and the sweet shoulder pads. I hate wearing my HP cape though, as I feel it's not as big of an achievement as my Magic and Ranged capes; I wear those much more often.

There are quite a lot of people in Runescape who would rather have a nice looking outfit over a 100% practical outfit. Just take Dragon armour for example, Barrows armour is better and cheaper but people still buy it and wear it because it looks nice (or to show off their wealth). For the most part skill capes look nice and usually there's one for every combination of items you wear.

Also people take pride in what they have achieved, wether it be 99 Cooking, 99 Slayer or all Quests complete so they wear the respective cape.

I call utter bull [cabbage].

 

 

As well as I call bull [cabbage] to everyone who says they got 99 and didn't buy a cape.

 

 

 

Also, is 6+ stab really that much?

I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001. Comped 4/30/15

I'm not really sure why people wear them anymore either. I've heard of F2P'ers buying members just so they can go get that str or range cape and put it on, and stay f2p with that cape on forever :/

seems silly to me
