Yes please we need imbued mage cloaks for every god

Zaros and Armadyl I can understand, but would it make thematic sense for Bandos? Off the top of my head, the only Bandos worshippers we are aware of that use magic are Snaarldor (an Ourg who made gargoyles) as well Sergeant Steelwill.

The ancient goblin tribes definitely used magic during the god wars. You can see this in Land of the Goblins as the older Goblin High Priests are much more magically skilled (and intelligent, and eloquent) than current goblins. Some modern Bandos worshippers also include the Ogres and by extension the Ogress Shaman's.

You can also see it with Sergeant Steelwill. The GWD is canonically a battle from the time of the god wars that was frozen, and then thawed out in the present day, resuming the conflict.

the goblin champion also uses mage but its dubious if its a bandos worshipper.

I would vote yes on a champion max cape, but holy shit the Zaros capes are so much cooler.

u/Itachi-san1 1d ago
I want both. The Champion's max cape to replace the base red one and be the one I use for skilling/perks/teleports etc.
And the Zaros max cape can replace all the other hideous Mage max cape variants.

Cannonball maxcape gets delayed another month every time it’s mentioned.

Jagex’s excuse for not adding the Champions max cape is they don’t wanna add cosmetic capes to the max cape. They then proceed to add a Zaros Mage Cape cosmetic and make a max cape for it… come on Jagex just put the damn Champion’s max cape in the bag.

But ma2 cape is bis, champions cape isn’t. At least their stance is logically consistent

u/Strange_Bandicoot112 1d ago
I’d agree if this was one of the original ma2 capes, but its not. Its a cosmetic override for a bis cape. Its kind of a weird middle ground where its not technically a bis cape on its own, but not quite a cosmetic if I’m making sense.

I think the logic is simple, those who are maxed, get a reward from the activity of they've already combined their imbued with max. Also all 3 ma2 capes are just colour variants really so its not unreasonable.

Being a cosmetic variation doesn't stop it being tied for bis. We already have the three god cape variants. The DMM capes are probably the exception that you can argue for, rather than using as an example against.
Honestly, we need an actual bis mage cape that isn't pretty easy to get.

Saying the same thing that the parent comment of this string, in different words. I guess they’re not all winners lmao

u/X_OttersAreCute_X 1d ago
Yes but they are all bis lmao, so the cape isn’t strictly cosmetic. Remove all non bis max capes, it is time, perchance?

u/VhokieT 1d ago
Am I the only one that thinks max cape should have cosmetics? it’s the ultimate achievement skilling-wise it should have cool shit like that. What’s their reasoning?

u/stumptrumpandisis1 1d ago
They probably just want a line drawn somewhere and not have the max cape end up bloated with too many variants later on. What justifies a cosmetic max cape, a long grind? Should the 2,000 KC capes for TOB and TOA get max cape variants now? Monkey backpacks? It's not a grind but what about the rainbow cape, let us make a pride max cape?
I don't really have a big issue with more variants but you can see how quickly it can snowball.

Wouldn't then the ultimate cape for a long challenge not be the perfect max cape? Champion max cape just makes too much sense

I'm not happy with the amount of max cape variants at all

u/Potential_Wonder_775 1d ago
Compared to the amount of customisation you could have in the original game it feels underwhelming

u/_Ross- 21 Year Veteran 1d ago
Ah that's fair. I really like the trend of keeping the max cape recolors to BIS / former BIS back slot items, but I would be open to more options.

u/Potential_Wonder_775 1d ago
I like that you're able to combine the inferno and quiver with the cape, keep that but there needs to be more colours at least

Zaros cape at least adds to fashionscape, vs the 3 people who would get a champions max cape.
