A Cape of Accomplishment (also called a skillcape) is a cape that symbolises achieving the highest possible level in a particular skill (level 99), the completion of every quest (333 QP), every Achievement Diary, or unlocking all the in-game music. Capes of Accomplishment are members' only items.

Capes of Accomplishment cost 99,000 coins (same price for the trimmed capes once you have trained two or more skills to 99). Each are obtainable from specific NPC masters, who can be seen proudly displaying the cape. A temporary skill boost that raises a skill level to 99 will not allow the player to obtain the corresponding cape. The NPC is located in a place related to their skill. Capes also come with matching hoods, although the hoods do not offer any bonuses.

When a player achieves a second level 99 skill, their earlier cape of accomplishment receives a graphical enhancement in the form of a "trim" of a different colour. This trim is irreversible. These so called "trimmed skillcapes" can be used to show that someone has more than one skillcape. The Achievement diary cape will allow you to trim both the Quest point cape and the Music cape, although the achievement diary cape can only be trimmed after obtaining the quest point cape. Unlike other Capes of Accomplishment, the aforementioned three capes can be manually trimmed and untrimmed by use of the right click menu.

If a player holding a skillcape dies to another player, and it is not protected on death, 11,880 coins will appear on the floor for the killer.

Most and least common capes

As of 1 April 2026, the five most common skillcapes are Strength, Hitpoints, Ranged, Magic and Attack respectively, while the top five least common skillcapes are Sailing, Runecraft, Agility, Hunter, and Smithing respectively. This is a general reflection of both the difficulty of training the pertaining skill and how useful the skill is to max.

As of 1 April 2026, Sailing is the least common skillcape with 73,464 players having 99 Sailing.

As of 1 April 2026, Strength is the most common skillcape with 758,573 players having 99 Strength.

As of 26 February 2020, the Music cape was the least common cape of accomplishment with 11,543 players achieving the cape.

As of 1 March 2026, there are 37,529 players that have achieved level 99 in all skills in order to max.

An updated table showing the number of players with a 99 in each respective skill can be seen in the table below.

Equipment bonuses

Emote

Main articles: Skill Cape (emote) and Air guitar

Each cape comes with a special emote that can only be performed while wearing the skillcape, however the music cape emote can be performed without wearing its respective cape. The emotes are meant to represent the cape's respective skills.

Skill boost

Selecting the "Boost" option in the equipment menu or equipping a cape of accomplishment temporarily boosts the player's effective level in the cape's skill by 1, up to 100. The Hitpoints and Prayer capes have a 1 minute cool-down period between uses of this effect. Every cape's boost cannot be reactivated until its skill has dropped back to 99. This boost follows the same rules as any other skill boost, lasting up to 60 seconds.

Visible boosts over 99 for skilling actions that use the skilling success rate do not affect those actions.

Cape of Accomplishment perks

Each cape has certain benefits. For example, the Firemaking cape will act as a light source either when equipped or in inventory, and as warm clothing for Wintertodt, and wearing the Cooking cape will prevent any food from being burned. These perks only work on members worlds.

A max cape will provide all the perks of all skillcapes. However, a max cape may be combined with certain best-in-slot cape slot items, such as the Guthix cape, creating a Guthix max cape. Doing so will cause the max cape to assume the stats of the item it was combined with, forfeiting the max cape perks, making it merely a cosmetic enhancement to the original item. A list of all possible max cape combinations can be found here.

If a player displays a certain set of skillcapes on the cape hanger in a player-owned house Achievement Gallery, the perks that they have will become available only to the house owner. The perks of the following skillcapes can be used while displayed on the cape hanger:

• Construct. cape
• Crafting cape
• Farming cape
• Fishing cape
• Fletching cape
• Herblore cape
• Hunter cape
• Magic cape
• Sailing cape
• Strength cape
• Quest point cape
• Achievement diary cape
• Music cape
• Max cape

Keeping Skillcapes untrimmed

When players get their first skillcape, it will be untrimmed by default. The moment the player reaches 99 in another skill, all untrimmed capes currently in possession of the player, banked, stored in their house, or regularly picked up at any time afterwards will automatically become permanently trimmed - unless some precaution is taken.

Players may wish to keep their first skillcape untrimmed for a variety of reasons such as sentiment, aesthetics, or as an achievement. There are lower numbers of certain untrimmed capes within the game that have been obtained by players such as Slayer, Hitpoints, Runecraft & Farming. The required time investment to obtain these certain skillcapes untrimmed can vary widely.

There is no current way for the game to remember which 99 a player achieves first, giving a reason as to why skillcapes have no trimming options, unlike the Achievement diary, Music & Quest capes.

Methods to keep Skillcapes untrimmed:

Note: These methods need to be repeated every time a subsequent 99 is about to be achieved, and always after an untrimmed cape is dropped on the ground for any reason, including within Free-to-Play. It is strongly recommended to purchase multiple untrimmed capes before getting a second 99 to avoid a complete loss of the untrimmed version of that cape on an account in case of mishaps with methods of keeping skillcapes untrimmed.

• Utilizing Death's Office
  • The most reliable and safest way to store untrimmed skillcapes without risk of them becoming automatically trimmed is by intentionally sending them to Death's Office for storage & safekeeping. This can be done by dying with the skillcapes in your inventory and rather than normally looting your grave, go to Death's office instead and have Death bring your items directly to you after confirming a fee. An item retrieval service interface will appear, and you will be able to see your untrimmed capes being stored.
    • There is no fee for untradable items, such as skillcapes, when retrieving them from Death.
    • This process can be slightly sped up by being skulled.
• Dropping & Tele-grabbing
  • The fastest way to save untrimmed skillcapes is to use the Telekinetic-grab method. To do so, drop the untrimmed capes on the ground, level up the second 99, and then use Telekinetic-grab to pick up any untrimmed capes off the ground (one-by-one). They will appear back in the player's inventory still untrimmed.
  • After achieving the second 99 you MUST use Telekinetic-grab to pick up any untrimmed capes EVERY TIME they are dropped, or else they will instantly & automatically become trimmed.
  • The Drop & Tele-grab method:
    • Drop any untrimmed skillcapes down on the ground
    • Achieve 99 in another skill
    • Tele-grab any untrimmed skillcapes up off the ground
      • If picked up without tele-grab they will become trimmed instantly
• Death Storages
  • Some account types may need to utilize ulterior motives of saving untrimmed capes, such as Skill pures, as they cannot use Magic to tele-grab any capes. Dying to certain instanced NPCs/Bosses will transport your items into item retrieval services excluding protected items, which can provide a great way of accommodating players with restricted accounts.
    • Normal deaths - Dying to an NPC will put your items into a grave, excluding protected items. When untrimmed capes are then moved into Death's Office, they will never be trimmed automatically.
    • Hespori - Requiring 65 Farming, Arno will hold your items upon death while fighting Hespori. He requires 25,000 coins to reclaim them afterwards.
    • Zulrah - Priestess Zul-Gwenwynig will hold your items too after having access to Zul-Andra. She requires 100,000 coins to reclaim them after you have killed Zulrah 50 times for free.
    • Theatre of Blood: The chest outside the theatre will hold your items upon death. This requires 100,000 coins to unlock and reclaim items.
    • Chambers of Xeric - Putting your untrimmed capes in a Storage unit during the raid and leaving it there will let you reclaim it afterwards. This is the best temporary method of storage as you can die multiple times outside of the raid and the items in the chest will never disappear, unlike the Zulrah, Hespori or Theatre of Blood chests.
  • The following death storages have not been tested, but are assumed to work similarly:
    • Alchemical Hydra - Orrvor quo Maten will hold your items in a chest upon death. He requires 100,000 coins to reclaim them. (Don't forget protective footwear!)
    • Vorkath - Torfinn will hold your items after getting obliterated by Vorkath's Launched Dragonfire. He requires 100,000 coins to reclaim the items. This method also requires partial completion of Dragon Slayer II.
• Other methods
  • If the Woodcutting cape is the player's first 99, it can be stored in the cape pouch of the Forestry kit. The cape will not be trimmed when another 99 is reached.
  • If the Hunter cape is the player's first 99, it can be stored in the Huntsman's kit. The cape will not be trimmed when another 99 is reached.
  • If the Sailing cape is the player's first 99, it can be stored in the cargo hold of the player's boat. The cape will not be trimmed when another 99 is reached.
  • The Gauntlet - Although this method has not been confirmed safe, if you are wearing an untrimmed cape while inside an instance of the The Gauntlet, the cape will not be automatically trimmed when another 99 is reached.
• Important Note for Ultimate Ironmen
  • If you die while holding an untrimmed skillcape on an ultimate ironman (and you have more than one 99 skill), you must use the Telekinetic-grab method to pick it up from your deathpile. If you don't use the Telekinetic-grab method, your cape will be trimmed once it is picked up.

Joke Skillcapes

While these capes resemble a skillcape and possess a skillcape emote, they are considered a joke and do not qualify as a real Cape of Accomplishment (e.g. for purposes of the Falador Diary).

Trivia

• If a player somehow possesses a cape of accomplishment for a skill that they later have the base level reduced, they will be unable to wear it until they achieve 99 again. This was previously possible in Deadman Mode worlds, when death would result in loss of experience before an update, and in unrestricted worlds, where the player can freely set their levels.
• The max cape does not have an operate function, and thus cannot boost any skill.
• As every cape costs 99,000 coins each, buying all Capes of Accomplishment (Skill Capes, Quest Point Cape, Achievement Diary Cape, and Music Cape) will require 2,673,000 coins, excluding the max cape. With the Max cape included, it would cost 5,049,000 coins for every Cape of Accomplishment.
• Including the 24 skillcapes, the Max cape, the Quest point cape, the Achievement diary cape, and the Music cape, there are a total of 28 capes of accomplishment.
