Attack: augmented items don't degrade so n/a for anyone who uses augmented gear?

Strength: only applies to comp cape since kiln capes > max cape

Defence: One of the more OP perks imo but I rather use kiln cape

Ranged: If comped, useless, if not then it's kiln cape vs max cape again

Prayer: handy, not OP

Magic: Might be handy, rip book switch but I don't even care about that and I rarely switch

Runecrafting: Handy, it tells your last personal rune only, not too OP

Construction: Nice small reduction to plank cost, doesn't seem OP imo

Agility: Useless unless going for pirate hook.

Herblore: Never store dirty herbs, maybe some people will like.

Thieving: Might save a little at time in some areas

Crafting: Meh

Fletching: Nothing to see here

Slayer: teleports are handy, but adding to max cape makes it a navigation nightmare

Hunter: Who hunts jadinkos at 99 (unless for juju)?

Mining: Not sure what +2 will do, unknown if it stacks with familiar boosts.

Smithing: I never had issue with wearing goldsmith gauntlets, useless for me.

Fishing: Sounds nice, I assume double catch does not equate to double xp so not too op

Invention: My personal fav, no idea what difference it makes but less drain is good for me

Summoning: If it stacks with spirit gems then maybe kind of op

Dungeoneering: Haven't checked it out but I'm sure I could find a use for at least one tele

Farming: Can get around all patches with single dose of juju, wont change anything for me

Divination: Really have no clue with this one, I doubt it will be a must have perk

Woodcutting: Need to know if it stacks with rabbit's foot and tree shaking, if so then OP

Questpoints: Dont have cape but I like the idea of this perk.


I don't think there many real game changing perks here. Def I have mixed feelings about. Some are outright useless but I'm okay with that.

I'm going to keep rooncraft and construction separate. As for adding to my max cape, only invention so far, unsure about last 2 slots.

def, agree
prayer, it's pretty OP for ironman. One of the biggest reasons why gilded altars aren't feasible is the fact that you need to collect the herbs for it. Ofc, this benefit is only useful post max, but for those going for 99+ it might be worth it (if you camp PvM bosses that drop dragon bones, i think those new bosses do)

RC: is op if you do viswax

con is pretty damn op iun the long run

herb is pretty nice for ironmen
thieving is pretty op

fletching is pretty good if you get the exp from it, since maples are 110kl+ exp/hr already, if it happens frequently it could start being worth over broads
mining pretty good if ti stacks
smithing is handy so you don't need to swap gloves from gaunts
fishing helps
cooking = cook gaunts maybe?

firemaking = no more painful solo cooking?
invention = op for ironmen
summoning = op af
farming =- nice
div = nice
qp = op

on their own it isn't that op, but if you consider all the benefits at once and what they can do, there's gonna be some smart people figuring out uses we can't think of yet.

^Kind of changing my mind about some of these already, good points you mentioned.

So many unknowns. The frequency of the random occurrence of the buffs will determine what's good or not. Just like you mention with fletch.

Same goes with what stacks, personally I think spirit gems are OP on their own, let alone stacking another perk on top of them (not sure if this is even the case though).

It is nice to for skillcapes to have niche uses, today I bought my 2nd skillcape ever on this account, so that says something I guess :)

lol i have all skillcapes bought and banked on this account. i always liked keeping a physical reminder of which capes i got before which capes.

See that's funny cause on my main I had them in order of where they were on the skills list. Maybe I'll do this on this acc for historical value. I'm sort of working on div as my first cape (91 atm) but also focusing on highering general stats (lowest is 62 atm).

I did that back in the day on this account, but on IM I didn't even buy most capes. You will never get anything for free. Anyone claiming that is trying to scam, lure or hijack you.

Did you buy your first one? Dungeoneering, yes. After that I only bought a cape when I saw it as an upgrade from what I already had. (Like, when you have a Slayer cape and you then get 99 Firemaking, it's not like you are going to start wearing the Firemaking cape so might as well not get it).

Just knocked out the final quick/easy reqs.

I only just started the tech trees, but considering the other reqs are going to take weeks (if not months), that's fine. You will never get anything for free. Anyone claiming that is trying to scam, lure or hijack you.
