perk - From the first hit from every monster, wearing the skillcape you will take Zero damage? Something along those lines.

Isn't much, but it isn't ment to be.. "OP"

Woodcutting/Mining cape:
Gives a chance of cutting/mining 2 logs/ores at once.
Gives a chance of getting noted logs/ores when cutting a tree/mining a rock.

I feel like cutting a tree or mining a rock with level 99 doesnt make that much of a diffenrence so there could use more meaningful effect than just a boost to 100. Especially woodcutting skill hasnt been updated yet/added anything (compare mining -> motherload mine). It really does need some new content ;)

I really like this idea! I feel we are being a bit stingy though, after all, 99's are difficult to get! Particularly the max cape! I have a few suggestions :)

Ranged Cape - Maybe you could use ava's accumulator with the cape, which could change the graphics of the cape slightly, so it appears a tad bulkier as though you are wearing a back pack? not necessary but a nice touch I think. Using the accumulator with the cape enables the perk!

Fire making Cape - Didn't really read what was already suggested, but the first thing that springs to mind is an unlimited light source.

Fishing - Maybe a separate section added to the fishing guild for skill capes only? Maybe a huge cave with either a) lots of various spots of already existing fish, so you can fish whatever you need from the guild pretty much. OR b) maybe bring out a new fish which requires 99 fishing and can only be caught in this special area. Untradeable perhaps?

Smithing - Half the number of bars needed to make said item. Might actually bring a profit back to smithing? Even if this was limited to so many items a day, I think this could be useful....

Herblore - 100 potions a day (could be any number) made into (4) instead of (3).

Fletching - A new bow can be made whilst wearing the cape? Struggling for this skill tbh.

Woodcutting - Could tie in with fletching, release a 99's only area with a new tree or again, like I said with fishing, a selection of already existing trees which means you can get all your logs from one convenient place.

Also, has nobody thought of a combat cape as well as a max cape for people who don't really skill? (doesn't apply to me, but we should try to keep everyone happy!) and maybe vice versa with a skill completionists cape (i.e all skills excluding combat)

Just my thoughts, hope some of them can be of help!

A few ideas:
Herblore - Ability to decant potions into 4 doses via operate, like the NPCs at the GE and Nardah, creating 4 doses outright or saving secondaries perhaps seems a bit too useful?

Woodcutting - More birds nests/better chance of higher level seeds from nests (shouldn't affect nests obtained from trading giant mole parts though)

Crafting - Provides unlimited thread whilst worn, sort of makes sense if you imagine the cape itself made of some magic self-replicating thread :p

Fishing - Small bonuses whilst on the Trawler (e.g. larger catch, less junk items etc.)

Runecrafting - Could do with a bonus related to the abyss instead, to make it used more frequently perhaps act as an unlimited abyssal bracelet to prevent skulling or a free pouch repair (once a day?)

Anyways great idea for an update, skillcapes do really need to be more useful! :)
