The world of Gielinor features an array of illustrious and hard-won capes for the few players of Old School Runescape ready to dedicate their time to earn them. These capes are awarded for gaining 99 in certain skills, completing a lot of the in-game content, and for those super fans who generally just spend way too long in-game.
If you're wondering which cape is worth your effort, here's 10 that can hold the key to speeding up those banks and house runs while fighting boss monsters for profit, earn you more money in skills, and can generally make Old School Runescape a more fulfilling and rewarding experience.
10 Smithing Skillcape
The award for attaining 99 Smithing, the Smithing Skillcape awards its wearer with further help when smithing larger bars such as adamantine and runite that require a large amount of coal, allowing your coal bag to hold 36 instead of 27 ore.
Its biggest perk, however, is that it allows you to hold more coal alongside acting as Goldsmith gauntlets, allowing you quicker Blast Furnace runs and extra inventory space.
9 Ranging Skillcape
The award for attaining 99 Ranged, the Ranging skillcape acts in place of Avas' Accumulator, which means no more forgetting it in the bank when heading out on those arduous slayer tasks and boss grinds, only to have your arrows falling all over the floor.
As with all Skillcapes, the Ranging Skillcape also handily comes with a +9 to all defensive stats and a +4 prayer bonus if trimmed, giving you the defensive bonuses of a cape and the perks of wielding an Avas' Accumulator in one.
8 Farming
The award for attaining 99 Farming, the Farming Skillcape can give you unlimited teleports to the Farming guild in the Kebos Lowlands, allowing easy access to a bank chest and also to the foot of Mount Karuulm.
It also gives the user a 5x yield on all herb patches, which can make you a great profit off some of the pricier herbs, as well as providing Ironmen a quicker means of achieving a 99 in Herblore.
7 Hitpoints
The award for attaining 99 Hitpoints, the Hitpoint Skillcape not only has one of the best Skillcape perks in the game but is also arguably one of the best looking, awarding points for fashionscape whilst giving you a massive combat advantage.
The Hitpoint Skillcape gives the bonus of 2x hitpoint restoration to its wearer, meaning less time banking when going off on those harder slayer tasks and boss runs and more time hunting for those elusive drops.
6 Magic
The award for attaining 99 Magic, the Magic Skillcape offers its wearer five daily changes of spellbook per day, with a choice between the Standard, Ancient Magicks, Lunar, and Arceus books.
Although to many players this may not seem immediately useful past teleports, these spellbook changes open up the world of PvP play in Old School. It allows its wearer to make use of the Tele Block spell in the Standard spellbook before swapping to Ancient Magicks for some high-damage Ice Barrage spells to freeze their foe in place, and is essential for taking out high-level players for massive rewards.
5 Quest Cape
The Quest Cape is awarded to those few players who have put the time into completing every quest Runescape has to offer, good and bad, and is an excellent reward for those looking for a useful teleport alongside making use of those reduced Nightmare Zone prices.
The Quest Cape allows its wearer to teleport to the Legend's Guild an unlimited number of times a day, which proves essential for those looking to grind through some high-level Elite and Master clue scrolls.
4 Achievement Diary Cape
The Achievement Diary Cape is arguably the hardest cape in the game, rivaling even the Max Cape, needing you to complete every level of Achievement Diary in order to wield.
Its use comes in its abundance of niche teleport locations, allowing an unlimited number of teleports to any of the Achievement Diary masters located throughout Gielinor without the need to carry runes.
3 Crafting
The award for attaining 99 Crafting, the Crafting Skillcape has arguably one of the best and most useful teleports in the game, especially for those grinding skills on mobile, though it may not seem that useful at first glance.
The ability to teleport to the Crafting Guild an unlimited number of times a day is endlessly helpful in being the closest teleport to a bank in the game. This means quick teleports during slayer grinds, skilling, or boss runs, along with not needing to waste inventory slots on multiple teleportation runes.
2 Construction
The award for attaining 99 Construction, the Construction Skillcape gives the wearer the best teleport in the game: straight to the player's own house!
By having 99 Construction to wear this, it's a given that your house already contains many of the high-level amenities you'd expect; such as a Portal Nexus for any handy teleport you wished alongside a Pool of Rejuvenation. A Pool of Rejuvenation remains the best POH item in the game, allowing you to quickly recharge prayer, run energy, hitpoints, special attack, reduced stats, and even cure disease and poison.
1 Max Cape
The Max Cape is the award for those who have attained a 99 in each of Old School Runescape's 23 skills, taking a ridiculously long time to attain but hiding the greatest perk the game has to offer.
The Max Cape allows the use of the perk of every Skillcape in the game, giving its wielder access to the Crafting Cape's bank chest and the Construction Cape's player-owned house teleport in one Cape! It's by far the best Cape in the game, and can even be combined with other capes such as the Infernal and Mythical capes as well as Avas' Assembler for arguably some of the best fashionscape and bragging rights Gielinor has to offer.
