Capes of Prestige

I honestly think everything about the game is subjective in terms of achievement. Like Debs, she's 200m DG and to her, yeah, that's nice, but not astounding by any means. Me, on the other hand, I'm slowly pushing away at that goal of 120 that seems so close yet so far. To me, that beautiful 120 Dunge cape is the most gorgeous thing in the world. It's all a matter of perspective.

People who are comped are maxed (not really those in this clan, mind you, but just as a general rule of thumb) will go around whining about how maxing is soooooo eassyyyy now and how you're a total noobcake until you're at least comped. Honestly, I see that as a bit inconsiderate and elitist. I won't disagree with the fact that xp rates have changed drastically, mtx and minigames have introduced ways to literally cut the time you need to spend training in half, but the point still stands that a lot of people aren't maxed or comped. And maybe they don't want to be.

Honestly, I value my Quest Cape over all 9 (yeah, still a noob) skillcapes because not only did I get all the skills required for said quests, but I went through nearly 200 different story lines and, you know what, I love quests like crazy nonetheless! That's why my Quest Cape is keepsaked. I don't care what people think about my 99's, or anything like that, because I -- at heart -- am a Lorehound and a lover of adventure and questing, which is perfectly displayed by that pretty white cape.

And at the end of it all, it just proves that prestige, accomplishment, and achievement are all relative in a game like RuneScape where you can choose whichever path you fancy. It's hard to say what the most prestigious cape in the cape is because, honestly, I don't see afking 4500 gold tickets in cw as an achievement. If anything, it's a little sad. But you know, that's just me! If the person sitting there for hours on end thinks that the gold trim at the end of the months of afking is worth it, then by all means, go for it.

And that's the true beauty of RS. It's what YOU make of it. <3

I agree, and that is ultimately why I made this thread to gather other peoples opinions.

At the end of the day there is no clear cut answer as to what the cape that holds the most esteem is, it's all a matter of who is taking it into consideration. There are so many different factors taken into it, and specifically when it comes to skills some people just adore certain skills that some one else would rather kill with fire. So naturally, if you despise a skill you would hold a cape that embodies the fact that that person has gotten over 104m xp in that skill over one that you enjoyed. (Although you may be more jealous of one you enjoy. )

There's also a definite distinction to be made between which cape you deem as the most prestigious, and which you like the most. For instance as I said I feel that 120 thieving, hunter, or slayer would be phenomenal capes of achievement. However, despite it being a "fairly common" thing as some people have stated, I would rather have a comp cape 1,000 times over one of those capes that I would hold to a higher esteem.

I want to be able to customize, and accessorize.
