Title: Expert Skillcapes
Post by: RuneScape News on September 08, 2014, 13:38:11: Expert skillcapes are a snappy new way to show your progress from 99 to maxed - available in RuneScape right now.

Courtesy of the Ninja Team and their lethal needlework, these spectacular shoulder-huggers come in four varieties, each showing your expertise in a group of linked skills.

Artisan's Cape Combatant's Cape Gatherer's Cape Support Cape
To get your hands on these capes, you'll need level 99 in a number of skills:

Artisan's cape:
Cooking
Construction
Crafting
Firemaking
Fletching
Herblore
Runecrafting
Smithing
Combatant's cape:
Attack
Constitution
Defence
Magic
Prayer
Ranged
Strength
Summoning
Gatherer's cape:
Divination
Farming
Fishing
Hunter
Mining
Woodcutting
Support cape:
Agility
Dungeoneering
Slayer
Thieving
While training the above skills at level 99, via certain commonly used methods, you'll occasionally see a skill shard appear in your inventory.

Once you have a shard for each of your coveted cape's related skills, simply combine them. Then, drape yourself in silky splendour and continue with your adventures!

Expert skillcapes have the same stats as regular skillcapes and come with a cosmetic hood. They can also boost all of their related skills to 100 for a short time. Finally, each has its own lavishly animated emote.

They can be stored in the costume room of your player-owned house, and can be retrieved from Diango if lost.

Have Fun!

It's a long road to maxed, so why not pick up some stylish threads on the way? Get collecting those shards, and give us your thoughts over on the forums.

To save space in the Awards Box in peoples profiles?

or something similar?

Post by: Only Lilly on September 08, 2014, 17:19:56: Why do they keep making more and more capes? They are not needed at all.

I am sure there are more important things to be working on.

being able to flex your achievements is important in mmorpgs and keeps people playing and making goals.

Besides, this is from the ninja team so the resources/man hours are minimal.

Post by: Teknolla G on September 12, 2014, 05:55:38: The gatherer's cape is the only one I would consider getting. The others honestly display a severe lack of effort in the design process.
