Skill Cape Perks

If the glory of a owning a skill cape was not reason enough for you to regularly take it out of your bank, we've given each cape a small perk to make them that bit more useful!

Skill Cape Perks


Since their release skill capes have been a great way to show off your accomplishments in RuneScape, but as great as they look they haven't always been the most useful items. In an effort to give you more reasons to show off your accomplishments more regularly, we have added perks to each of the skill capes in game.

Attack	Free access to Cyclops area found upstairs within the Warriors' Guild.
Strength	Unlimited teleports to the Warriors' Guild.
Defence	Act as a permanent Ring of Life. This effect can be toggled.

Runecrafting	Acts as all tiaras.

PvM Arena

The PvM Arena has returned for this year's Clan Cup! Clans participating in the tournament will be able to face-off in this head-to-head PvM battle, taking down boss after boss after boss. Two teams enter the arena with one goal: get more kills than the other clan in one hour.

Quality of life/other updates

Worlds 317 and 321 have been reverted from Deadman worlds to Old School worlds.

Worlds 318, 325 and 337 have been returned to where they were originally hosted.

Bugfixes

The one tick delay present when you used the Port Phasmatys bank booths rather than bankers has been removed – on top of this, one of those booths was not giving a message for players not using an amulet of ghostspeak; this has been fixed.

A problem where attack options were being hidden has been resolved.

A typo in the Varrock diary interface for the spelling of 'Paddewwa' has been fixed.

Information given in the tutorial about Deadman mode has been updated to reflect the changes made to death and XP loss.

The message received when failing a stepping stone shortcut is now correctly filtered.

When removed from the Wilderness resource area by Mandrith, the game message no longer states that you must pay again to regain entry if you have the elite Wilderness diary complete.

It is no longer possible to enter the closet in Draynor Manor when skulled on a Deadman world.

When purchasing battlestaves as part of the Varrock diary reward from Zaff's barrel, you will no longer be told your inventory is full when it already contains a stack of noted battlestaves.
