For the Smithing skillcape, the coal perk that currently is in place is great and all, however it got rid of the goldsmith gauntlet perk which was useful for quite a few people (specifically for blast furnace). Is there any way we can have both or choose just 1 via a toggle?

I believe the farming skillcape perk most definitely needs a buff and here is why:

Right now I do farm runs with 6 of the 7 patches. My runs can range anywhere between 30-50 herbs (IF none of them die). For being 90+ farming or even 99 farming I believe this disparity is too great between farm runs.

Compare this to the cooking skillcape, for example, where the cape prevents food from being burned. Compare this to thieving where the higher your level is the less chance you have at failing. The thieving skillcape also provides 10% better chance of succeeding when pickpocketing. Compare this to agility where the higher your levels the less chance you have at failing. As my farming level increases shouldn't I "become a better farmer" and thus have less chance of crops dying? This is currently not the nature of farming which is why the perk needs a buff.

(Assuming both players use magic secateurs) A player who is 98 farming will receive the EXACT same ranarr yield as someone who is level 32 farming. In my opinion, the extra 5% yield on the farming skillcape is almost insignificant, especially for how often patches seem to die even with supercompost.

Lastly, for how long the skill takes to level I believe the skillcape could use a slight buff. My suggestions include:

1) Increase the current 5% bonus to 10% or 15% bonus. This extra 10% or 15% would also stack on the magic secateurs 15% bonus.
2) Keep the 5% bonus and make it so all our patches are automatically fertilized with supercompost
3) Keep the 5% and allow us to persuade martin the master gardner to protect an extra herb patch (or even for a one time fee)
4) Similar to the Ardougne cape, add free teleports to one of the herb patches (Trollheim, Ardougne, Harmony Island)

These are only some of my suggestions. Farming provides a lot of options for improvement on the skillcape perk

My main point is that 5% is too small and should either be increased or have an added additional bonus

Thank you,

Wh-what? We're... we're finally going to Fossil Island? HALLELUJAH! :D

This update doesn't shed much light on it. I hope you give us a blog about it, soon. I'd love to know if it's an instanced event, a minigame, a skilling point, yet another pvp zone (god I hope not), or even a new quest! Don't leave me hanging, guys!

It's been a while since I've been genuinely excited for an update. Started in 2005... What have I done with my life Proud of it!

I hope the herblore cape changes. The pestle and mortar thing is nice, but the other bonus can be obtained by getting the "hard Desert achievement diary". Which seems totally unfair to herblore cape holders. The hard Desert diary is way easier than 99 herblore.

Id like to start off with saying that i do love all the new updates especially the slayer ones. I was wondering will we ever have a poll or a discussion on another minigame for Skilling such as something to Stealing Creation or Similar?

---- Farming cape update ----

I'd like the cape (while worn) to have the same effect as Magic secateurs, more yield per harvest of crops. You do not need to have the quest Fairytale 1 unlocked, this is just a bonus to players with 99 farming cape (WORN) but does not stack with the actual secateurs.

This is a benefit to those who have 99 farming, but without the ability to complete quest due to combat experience. (e.g. skillers & pures)

I'd like to see some feedback on this please.
Thank you
