Every account can only get a single untrimmed skillcape ever. I imagine for a lot of people it doesn’t really matter, so they are unaffected. But for those that care and have some kind of sentimental value towards their first 99, it does matter a lot. Sometimes it’s just an aesthetic choice. Some untrimmed Skillcapes just look better than trimmed ones. And preserving it is really annoying. You have to drop it, hit a new 99 and then tellygrab it ONLY to keep it untrimmed. Or you store a bunch of them in deaths storage in case you fuck up. This kind of foresight isn’t given. It isn’t an obvious mechanic to all. Anecdotal evidence, but I got someone into runescape and their favorite skills to train were herblore and farming. After months of playing casually they finally hit 99 farming and were really happy. the untrimmed farming cape looked really good with the farming outfit from tithe farm. After they hit their 2nd 99 they noticed after a while that the skillcape changed and looks different. I told them that when you hit your 2nd 99 your skillcape trims and you can’t revert it. They haven’t logged back into the game since this happened. They don’t want to create a whole new account. There is no good reason why it can’t be changed so that for your first 99 skillcape is a toggle for trimming. And before someone points out that it isn’t tracked properly for the people in the past and it can’t be reverted, that doesn’t matter. I lost my foreskin a long time ago, that doesn’t mean that future generations also have to suffer through the same bullshit I do. Just make people not have to jump through autistic hoops to keep their pretty cosmetic capes please. submitted by /u/Inv0ker_of_kusH420
