A reaper cape rewarded from the reaper after completing the reaper task. After obtained it could be added to the Completionist Cape for a slight boost to the combat stats and a new trim effect. The Trimmed Completionist Cape would also receive a new trim (different from the original comp capes new trim).

A normal comp cape would still be the best cape slot item in the game over any other cape slot item in the game, but the add on would provide incentive to PVMers to obtain it.

In a nutshell, this would remove the reaper task from the Comp Cape requirement list and make it a separate reaper challenge to reward a reaper cape that can be added to the comp cape.

Not all of us have the best ISP and not all of us are able to find people to learn these high level pvm bosses/group bosses with. Many players are unable to achieve the comp cape because of this one requirement.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion and I hope you can see my point of view on this issue.

Ditto to that ^^

Having my cape stuck behind a content wall I cannot hope to overcome is somewhat demoralising and honestly puts me off even trying to re-attain it, sapping a fair amount of fun from a game I used to enjoy.

Moving "the Reaper" to a separate in-game item that can then be applied to other capes to boost their stats is a great recommendation. First Maxed 8th March 2014, First Comped August 2014

I want to see something for solo PvMers. I feel they are entitled to some boost as well, especially considering how they wouldn't exactly be avoiding boss encounters altogether, just the ones that require groups. Only problem with these Reaper cape suggestions is there is no title for doing "solo reaper", meaning a Reaper cape wouldn't do anything for those that like to boss hunt, but not just with a group.

It's something I hope the rework addresses as it is also a large issue and something that comes up a lot when bosses and comp are being discussed. .

Just a thought and I might be completely wrong but removing the need to defeat certain boss encounters from comp via the removal of "Reaper" doesn't actually remove them as a comp requirement, not directly at least.

Music tracks would still need to be discovered unless ofc they can be unlocked solo? Mostly thinking of encounters like Vorago / raids? ( Never done one so I don;t know how they work ) whereby you cannot start an encounter solo. First Maxed 8th March 2014, First Comped August 2014

Solak was the straw that broke the camel's back for me

I honestly haven't even looked back at returning to RS3 @Chee__RS

entering the boss encounter unlocks the music, with Yakamaru and Solak being the only exceptions, those music tracks could easily be unlocked at the start of the fight, which means that you would only have to finish the boss fights or find a way to lobby without dying if you were a HCIM

also you can start both raids solo afaik, there might be some trouble with getting to Yaka by completing the puzzle though, only Vorago would require more than just you but if you get 4 friends to suicide with you just to unlock the music, then you would be fine @Chee__RS

Think clan citadel/holiday events you unlock all its tracks at once just being in the lobby area.

I'm sure its not beyond their power to change to just unlock em all by being in the boss room/lobby like walking around Vorago instead of having to enter the fight.
