Little of topic but im interested in the layout of the navigation tabs in game.

I feel the pillars on either side of the inventory space ugly and it was originally placed as a stepping stone to a different layout from what i remember, the 2006/ early 2007 layout was alot nicer. (same artwork just without the pillars)

although i do remember the multi combat symbol as the "combat options" and they were mostly all nicer looking than the current ones...ill stop rambling on now.

back on topic i really like the skilling ideas. not so much the melee ideas.

Fletching should give you a chance of making two of something out of one material instead of one, i.*. two bows out of one logs item, but this would happen simultaneously, so you'd have both pop up at once, or one appear on the ground in the case your inventory can't hold two, that way they can't abuse this and possibly keep the material they just technically used for free.

The Max cape perk is that it's best in-slot, it should get the same stats as it had in RS2, they weren't too much better than the fire cape so it wasn't a game-breaking item. I believe either the comp cape or both it and the max cape acted as accumulators, did they not? We could do that too, I suppose.

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


An excellent point.

Another thing. Some of us which are taking interest in this matter like to disaggree on specific capes.
This doesn' t really have to be rushed through now does it. Many good ideas have been introduced. Others need more careful consideration. I am assuming. I have not read each and every comment. Just so that is clear.

This update could be done in two parts. That isn't neccesarely correct. But it's better to get this right, rather than making haste decisions.


And to all nay sayers.
Changes are inevitable. Nothing lasts. Embrace changes. You may try and control how things turn out. If it matters, do so. Learn this as soon as you can.
It is of weaker nature to fear changes.


I have nothing to add.

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
It was a joke, not an actual suggestion ;P Its a cape bonus that represents how most people got the 99.

Fletching- "charge" the cape with bowstrings to 1000. No way to get the bowstrings back as not to effect profits of picking flax and spinning it yourself. Just something to take a way 1 bank click for normal players and a faster way for ironmen to get bowstrings.

Herblore- 1. can do the same thing kinda but only with 1 clean herb at a time and pinned back to 50-150 charges, while still remaining untradeable. 2. make (unf)potions using dirty herbs gaining cleaning xp for a slight boost in xp/hour 3. can use herb on empty vial then add second ingredient, then fill from a water source (no using water items or humidify) to always make potion(4) x times a day

My eyes! Lots of those perks are ridiculously overpowered, even for skillcapes of achievement. Ores in one swing of the pickaxe?

Then I saw your wish for a Sailing Skillcape and it all clicked into place..
