What about the music skillcape?
Maybe it could be operated to make the player act like a Musician. The player would be playing a song, which would regenerate his run, and other players can right-click "Rest" near him to regenerate run aswell.
Or
Maybe you can operate it to choose 10 different Rs3 music to be played by a special playlist accessible by operating the cape Maxed OSRS. Pet Hunter, Infernal Cape owner, Completionist.

99 Prayer: You come back from the dead with different aspects due to your faith in the Gods!(Doesn't work in PvP) (Only works once a day)

Guthix:
Your trust in the balance has won Guthix's approval and he restores your well being!
You come back to the grave with 1/2 hp instead of the 1/4.
Saradomin:
Saradomin has blessed this day and given you back the breath of life!
You come back with 1/4 hp with increased defence.
Zamorak:
Zamorak has seen his disciple slain and he resurrects you with hatred!
You come back with 1/4 with increased strength.

Just an idea of course, I just think the current 99 prayer bonus is kind of weak. I love this idea though and am really glad to see this! :)

With the combat skillcapes, you have to take the players interest into consideration.
If somebody has 99 strength, it probably means they're a PvMer or PKer and enjoy combat, therefore you should give them something that fits their playstyle, like making the cape give +5 strength bonus or something like that.

Fishing shouldn't boost you to 100, one level is such a small increase in effectivity. Do it like you did with herblore, although i think the number(5%) is too small. Give them a 10% increase in chance to catch fish rather than just boosting your fishing by one level.

Having the smithing cape act as goldsmith gauntlets is useless. Anyone who has 99 smithing either 1) already has the gaunts or 2) won't smith gold after getting 99.

A few ideas that might be a little better:

-No need for a hammer in inventory
-Smiths 2 items per action on anvils
-Increases time whilst smelting ores at any furnace
-Use less coal when making bars at furnaces (excluding Blast Furnace)

As for the combat capes those are easy:
Attack Strength Defence: Allows you to afk for more than 20 minutes if wearing full guthans.
Magic: Allows you to afk for more than 20 minutes if wearing full iron armor and holding a smoke battle staff.

Definitely not gonna happen. Nice try lazy bones :P

i think you are on the right track with the perks, but i do not believe these perks will be enough to motivate people to get to 13,034,000 exp lol...i honestly feel that once you have the 99 skill that you should be superior to those that dont, and with that being said, the perks need to reflect that. Most people that play OSRS play for the fact that they didnt like the combat system in EOC. People enjoy the OSRS combat system or the older style. Make the perks to the combat capes well worth it, not just for a flimsy teleport to a guild no one really even cares about. give some fighting perks such as better chances of hitting for attack, or higher percentage of a hard hit for strength, range could be chance for a double arrow attkor an increased spec bonus, etc. get creative with it and make people want to achieve the 99s. do not just simply check the block by adding meaningless perks.

thanks for reading

I want to see the stats of skillcapes buffed anyway.

It's ridiculous to see them rendered practically useless in comparison to a firecape, which for most skillcapes is significantly easier to get.

The skillcapes should give a permanent boost to 100 for one. The short term boost is a joke. For two, the skillcape should give 1-3 higher defense in each stat than the fire cape has. This way it'd be a somewhat viable alternative. Most people would rather have the strength from fire cape anyway.
