The Cape of Accomplishment is a beautiful work of finery, made from costly materials and offered only to the masters of a skill. As such they are rarely seen and keenly sought by those without one, and worn with pride by those few who have earned the right.

Getting a skillcape

To become the proud owner of a Cape of Accomplishment and hood, you must first have a level of 99 in a particular skill. Only hard work and persistence will get you to this level, but once achieved you will be rewarded with something like the following message:

Whether you have just received this message, or have a skill of level 99 anyway, then you are ready to purchase a Cape of Accomplishment and hood from one of the masters across RuneScape. There is only one master in each particular skill, and they all wear their very own Cape of Accomplishment and hood:

The Cape of Accomplishment and hood come with a hefty price tag, however. The materials are expensive and only the finest crafters make them, so each of the masters require 99,000 gold to part with them.

The skillcape skill boosts.

Though the Cape of Accomplishment hood may look pretty and keep off the rain during RuneScape’s seasonal showers, it cannot compare to the Cape of Accomplishment in terms of usefulness and power. The Cape of Accomplishment contains magical properties that will boost the wearer’s relevant skill from 99 to 100 for a short period of time. This boost may become invaluable in moments of need, and there is no better feeling than seeing your stat tipping over to 100!

Right-clicking on the Cape of Accomplishment and selecting ‘Operate’ will return the relevant skill level to 100, as will removing and then wearing the cape once the skill has gone down to 99.

The two exceptions to this rule are the Skillcape of Hitpoints and the Skillcape of Prayer. You will only be able to raise your maximum possible Prayer and Hitpoint level once every minute.

Additionally, the Cape of Accomplishment carries a bonus to the combat stats. If the cape is trimmed (see further down) then the cape also holds a Prayer bonus.

The skillcape emotes.

Owners of a Cape of Accomplishment will not just be able to impress their friends with their spiked shoulders and natty insignia; each Cape of Accomplishment also comes with its own, individual emote. These are accessible from the bottom of the emote tab.

Trimmed Skillcapes.

Those who buy their Cape of Accomplishment with two or more skills at a level of 99 will find that they receive a ‘trimmed’ version of their skillcape. Looking slightly different, these capes also boast a bonus to their wearer’s Prayer level, adding +4 while the cape is worn.

The Quest Point Cape

The Quest Point Cape and hood are available to those who have completed every quest. These items can be bought from the Wise Old Man, inside his house in Draynor Village, for the princely sum of 99,000 gold.

RuneScape is full of danger and those looking for champions to rid the world of danger, so it is inevitable that more quests will be released as the game progresses. Upon logging into the game after a quest update, those wearing a Quest Point Cape will receive a warning, telling them that the Quest Point Cape has unequipped itself.

The Quest Point Cape and hood will be unwearable until the quest has been completed, at which point you will find that the cape and hood will be equipable once again. If you have no inventory slots for the unequipped Quest Point Cape and hood then they will be stored in your bank. If this, too, is full then you will have to return to the Wise Old Man to retrieve them for free.

Note - To receive the Quest Point Cape you will need to have completed every element of each quest and have all the necessary quest points. This includes the ‘Wish List’ section of the Rag and Bone Man quest.

Losing your skillcape.

The Cape of Accomplishment and hood are valuable items, and will only be lost in extreme situations (or when deliberately destroyed). Getting a Cape of Accomplishment and hood back will require another trip to the master of your maxed skill, and then repaying the 99,000 gold to retrieve them.
