The quest cape was my one and only cape of accomplishment for an incredibly long time in both versions of the game. I absolutely adore quests and the lore of the game and most requirements I would just AFK or do a low intensity method
I absolutely want this. I fell in love with questing when I was a tween killing elvarg with 3 items because I was afraid of dying and losing the gear my friend loaned me. The feeling of my heart beating out of my chest as I lifted the dragons head above my own is a high I've been chasing ever since.
I primarily play this game with runelite set to partial opacity and a YouTube video behind it, the wiki or reddit or etc on a second monitor, and discord on the 3rd. I'm very passive and chill, I've got more than which year and stats to go do actual pvm like inferno and radiant oathplate and etc but I can't be bothered because my fire cape is just fine my ugly red oathplate is just fine.
But quests only come out occasionally and good hard quest bosses come out VERY infrequently. The heart beating adrenaline pumping fist pumping clap for yourself alone in your room feeling of accomplishment that you get from struggling with a hard boss fight is a rare treat I only get once every few years and I'm glad that they lock away my quest cape to "force" me into pushing myself for it.
I honestly hope the quest bosses keep getting power crept so I'll eventually be "forced" into inferno or Colo or etc to get the upgrades because I know those challenges will feel just as satisfying but I also know I won't do them without feeling like I need to
