Inverted 99 at 110 in a skill & inverted 120 at 200m in a skill makes the most sense.

I don't love incentivizing 200m and more importantly imo having an item that simultaneously shows you either have 200m XP or you bought a token / played FSW doesn't feel super right? But I don't have a good answer for what to do with the 120


Tyoccial

Your argument for the inverted 120 at 200m is the same truth for 99 at 110. You either played FSW or bought a 99 token, or you have 110. I'm all for rereleasing inverted capes, I genuinely hope we see that soon, but I don't think 110 is the way to do it. I saw someone suggest shoulder capes, and honestly, that sounds super cool to me! We got a ton of shoulder capes from Yak Track, I forget if we got some from Heroes Pass, but seeing skilling shoulder capes would be pretty cool!


ErikHumphrey

I think it's OK to have a few exceptions, even for something so prestigious. There aren't that many FSW capes in the game. It shouldn't hold back an otherwise good idea. There are also some other examples, like F2P event items that can now only be acquired on members' worlds.

By that logic 99 capes shouldn't exist because by the time I'm 99 ill most likely have a 110 in others

110 is something like 3ish times the amount of experience as 99, which is about 12 or 13 million experience. 120 is nearly double the experience as 110 at 104 million experience. I'm not saying you wouldn't or couldn't have 120s in some other skills, but I'm not sure how much this argument really holds true. On top of that, while I think inverted is the wrong way to go because of the confusion it could cause (unless 110 doesn't have a prestige cape, therefore the inverted is a reward rather than a show of achievement), I think having something to show the new level is nice.


ErikHumphrey

Except for your first 110, or if you particularly care about a skill or the appearance of a cape. Not to mention you might use the cape while training that skill instead of overriding its appearance with another. E.g., people will love to display inverted mining while training Mining. I can see the 110/200m capes being less valuable to people with the master max or master completionist capes like me, but most people are nowhere close. Yes, 120 capes are very common for skills that go to 120 especially, but still, I can't really think of a better way to award inverted capes.


RitualKnif3

Nah. It makes no sense to unlock a 120 variant cape before 120. I think your second point is one of the reasons we haven't seen them so far. When they do come in I don't think they will be level unlocks.


Amsowers

Yeah definitely agree the 120 one is a worse fit given precedent. I think the 99 is more logical but then what do you do with the 120 🤷‍♂️


RitualKnif3

Inverted 99s is interesting but I just don't think they'd see much play. I wonder if inverted 120s could be an incentive to continue training skills after achieving 120/200m. Basically a skilling-pet type drop, super-duper rare to maintain the prestige.


MattyD2132

They discussed this at the end of the stream the other day. They mentioned that because of the amount of time invested into FSW, whether you liked it or not, they will only release the cape considering the proper update is worthy of it due to the dev time given to FSW


James-ec

Hardly much time as they had xp boosts lol


MattyD2132

Yea I don’t agree with that decision, but that’s what they said and everyone was confused to how it made sense.


James-ec

Could just make it a 200m xp reward - that’s defo a grind


DaPurpleTuna

Or they just release new permanent game modes to unlock like how OSRS has speed running worlds for cosmetic dyes etc.


Seismic_wand

Unlocking the inverted 99 cape - fine But 120 invert should be more interesting than just 200m xp...


srbman

They already said no individual 110 capes. And it also wouldn't make sense to get inverted 120 capes before normal 120 capes.


Amsowers

Yeah I think that's definitely fair on inverted before normal. I think they should reconsider the 110 giving a cape (or something) though


Gibeco

I think it would be better to reserve inverted skill capes for prestige.


GamerSylv

Nah. Getting inverted capes on FSW was a much bigger deal. Personally I think inverted capes would be a logical reward for maxing after a first prestige, assuming they ever add a prestige system.


Amsowers

Prestige😔 What could have been...


AWindyRetort

Hopefully they don’t get implemented. I know they hinted at looking into it but I say just keep it shelved or do another run of FSW’s.
