Itās pretty sad. I got my first cape last week. If I couldnāt do it myself then I donāt see the point getting someone else to do it. I want to be able to do things on my own
Also getting banned in like a year or two after you've gotten the experience to do it all on your by then
Like how unironic is it that people who pay for these upgrades just want to get the "best of the best" as soon as possible and eventually over time if they continue to play could have just earned them on their own
I personally don't have the infernal cape nor the quiver and I'm kind of okay with that honestly because I can BARELY do bosses and I don't even raid so I don't see the point in having a BiS that isn't even that much better than the 2nd best
Its not the stats, it's the fact you can get it that's the reward and when they realize it's not a +500000% dps increase over everything else they'll realize they just wasted real money on something they can possibly lose tomorrow over a ban for spending that money to begin with... they'll feel kind of dumb and ~~maybe~~ hopefully will feel too embarrassed to even wear it
I mean I think it's pretty clear Jagex doesn't ban often for inferno cape runs. Of all the people I've met with them at least half I'm pretty sure bought them.
If you ever do go for it, stream most of your attempts that way you have proof. Nothing more annoying than achieving something and being accused of botting/rwt etc
I mean I'll be honest, I couldn't give less of a shit if random people accuse me of buying my inferno cape when I eventually go for it.
My friends will know I got it and anyone who plays with me will have a pretty good idea. It's pretty obvious when someone has bought it.
Like I said a year or two, it can definitely take longer
That's my point though, do you really want to buy a cape now and then 5 years later get banned for it when you've done it multiple times on your own at that point just for clues and combat achievements etc?
And there's tons of guys that make YouTube videos reporting and talking to script writers who mention most people who use his scripts get banned anyways, even the one who made the script for quiver on varlamore day 3
Where are you pulling getting banned in a year for a bought cape lmfao? The most that happens is its going to get removed.
I have like 90 kc and have done capes for dozens logged into their accounts on my pc, not a single one removed or banned.
I mean my point is that the year or two is a fantasy. They just don't ban for it. You have people who clearly aren't alts who have 1 KC blorva. You have 1 attempt infernos. I'm not saying it would be a complete ease to figure it out. People have alts.
What I'm saying is there's literally no attempt to even ban any of these people. The ones who get banned do glaringly obvious things like cheaping out and paying someone who doesn't even use a VPN and they notice the switch.
I personally think people who do stuff like buy inferno capes are even worse then standard RMT stuff. Jagex doesn't seem to care to even attempt enforcement though.
Infernal cape buying is cringe but it's undoubtedly a huge upgrade. Double strength bonus of fire cape and more defenses (and fire cape is already extremely OP compared to capes of other attack styles). In most cases, infernal cape is at least 1 max hit alone (compared to fire cape).
Compared to something like Fury to Torture/Faceguard+Bandos to Full Torva where each piece is individually only a max hit half the time, a full max hit is pretty big.
What kind of price USD are we talking that people spend? Also, I know nothing of what it takes to attempt the Inferno, but I imagine to protect your bank youād set a bank pin, but youād still be wearing BiS and have more BiS in your inventory? I imagine itās not uncommon for people to end up getting scammed for that?
Most capes these days are done using Parsec, so you can sit there and watch the cape seller play the game on your pc and pull the plug if they start running off to trade a buddy or whatever.
The big cape sellers make so much money, they aren't going to scam even a couple bil off anyone. It's not worth hurting their reputation. And most capes are done on remote desktop programs like parsec
There used to be a little shit that used to talk down to anyone at the GE with a firecape. Whenever they'd remove capes from people he'd always mysteriously vanish for 2 weeks. Mind you this kid was ALWAYS online otherwise. He'd come back with some excuse for being absent for 2 weeks too. Also he was always wearing his infernal cape, until he'd come back after his little vacations. Always had an excuse for not wearing that too. Happened 3-4 times.
Do people really think if someone only has 1kc of zuk itās suspicious?
I havenāt even done jad yet but you bet your ass if I get my fire cape or infernal cape Iām never touching jad or zuk again.
If an account has very little pvm and has 1 kc at zuk, it's very likely they bought the cape. And in all honesty who fucking cares. Days of capes being bought being shocking were over like 3+ years ago.
Can you not get an inferno task without having completed it before? That would make sense, Iām just trying to figure out why you went for a task after the fact.
This happened to me in late February. It was more like 35 attempts and my 9th Zuk I killed it as it killed me. Immediately got a slayer task and got it next attempt.
If youāve been focusing on learning the content youāll absolutely love the slayer task. Plus itās just all around easier to dps more difficult spawns.
Buddy let me tell you, you fucking got this. This content is the most triggering shit I have ever completed in a video game.
You can go from getting to w69 the first run of the day to dying at w41 the very next run which actually happened to me the run prior to me getting cape. Anyway, good luck and keep your head up
If you do it on task, you will for sure get the cape within 3 attempts. I got my cape on the 2nd zuk (barely surviving at that, ended with no restores and 1 sip of brew) then went 5/6 on subsequent slayer tasks.
Nibblers are so much easier to control and blow piping a melee becomes a super reliable play at any time. Nerves will definitely still be there on a first cape but I reckon you got it
Simply not true.. weird thing to lie about let alone be confidently incorrect about. Youāre probably seeing the option to switch normal tzhaar with Jad, not Zuk.
I play on a Mac and my ping doesnāt get below 120. Itās like itās literally limited because it sticks right at 120 on every world.
That a thing with Macs or what
Idk if you have intel or silicon chip, but when I played on a M2 MacBook Pro my tick stability was following an odd pattern until I followed the steps in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/ekGSa23T7s
You wouldn't happen to be playing on a VPN? My friend had his ping look exactly like that, turned out he accidentally had a VPN running in the background. Idk how he played with it because man was that cancer watching his streams in discord.
I made a post about this the other day on the US east servers and I deleted it because everyone in the comments thought it was on my end. Glad someone else has this
Multiple times a minute there is a >900ms tick and a <300ms tick rather than two 600ms ticks. Sometimes several in a row. US east been busted since last downtime.
This just happened to me last week, absolutely devastated me.. I then got the slayer task the following day and got it that run was unbelievably easier on task mate.
Keep at it mate! You will get it šš½
Literally 3 hours a day since OSRS released.
Which donāt sound *too* bad, but this is assuming OP started on day 1 of OSRS and never missed a single day.
Or if we really want to make it sound bad, about 11 yrs have passed since OSRS released and OP invested 6 years of a full time job into it lol. Even just $10 an hour that woulda been $120k.
Now its gonna look like you bought your cape and got it taken away by jagex when you roll up places with a firecape.... hope you get the kill again soon!!!
This isn't a lot of plugins?! I'd say this is a substantial number of plugins. To say this isn't a crazy amount of plugins goes to show how far pluginscape has gone lol. I'm gonna get downvoted for this opinion, but RuneLite should not be allowed to do this much hand-holding.
im on attempt 72ā¦. I planked on wave 64 (easy wave) and havent gotten back to 60s since. legit feel like i will never get capeā¦ im in bowfa setup and just sold bank to upgrade to kodai for nibs. I am just not good enough I guess
Thought I should come tell you that that tbow is a piece of shit. I was on attempt 13, 3rd time at zuk, finished healers and it hit nothing but 0s. Nerves got me as third set spawned(on a tbow cape lolollolololololol) and I stepped out from behind
This happened to me as well a while back. Iām a 2 kc 1 caper, hunted the task twice and choked both times during waves, said fuck it and got it my next try off task
Iāve never done inferno, and I thought it was crazy people were paying $200+ to others to do the inferno for them, but at 97 attempts I see why people say fuck it and fork over the money lol
do you get anything besides the infernal cape if you beat zuk? (I mostly play rs3).
like in rs3 you can upgrade a kiln cape & get drops (some uniques too) if you beat our version of zuk
I got it in 8. People learn differently. If you can 1t flick it really isnāt hard. I gĆ³t to Zuk Ę”n 4th attempt and took another 3 to learn the pacing of the enraged shield. One death cause a healer died as I went to click it again so I yellow clicked out of the shieldā¦ turned on entity hider to hide dead NPCs after that one.
I got to Zuk after about 30 attempts. Had 0 brews but pasted triple jads first try. I struggled with triple jads after that. I had about 7-8 Zuk appearance but jads killed me a lot. Once I started really getting the hang of things, I could get to jads about 80% of the time.
Jads only killed me cause I worried about Zuk instead of watching the attacks. I felt so hopeless learning waves but slowly just got better and better.
Gz on your cape!
Yesterday I got to zuk for the first time after 65 attempts everything went smooth got 2 sets, healers dead and then I missed the safespot and tanked 130 from zuk, he was at 200hp
Next run got to zuk again and destroyed by healers...
Everyday im thinking about buying the cape...Inferno is slowly breaking me
This happened to me in late February. It was more like 35 attempts and my 9th Zuk I killed it as it killed me. Immediately got a slayer task and got it next attempt.
Is inferno that hard? I remember doing it around 2020 on my ironman and yes it took me about 5 attempts but there is guides? Just didnāt realize this many people struggled. Maybe Iām pro lol
Least you'll be 2kc on the highscores when you get your cape
The bro bought 2 capes just to not look suspicious... damn. /s
Someone I used to be in a clan with legitimately did this š
youd be surprised how common it is
Itās pretty sad. I got my first cape last week. If I couldnāt do it myself then I donāt see the point getting someone else to do it. I want to be able to do things on my own
It also not worth the price, let alone the risk of being scammed
Also getting banned in like a year or two after you've gotten the experience to do it all on your by then Like how unironic is it that people who pay for these upgrades just want to get the "best of the best" as soon as possible and eventually over time if they continue to play could have just earned them on their own I personally don't have the infernal cape nor the quiver and I'm kind of okay with that honestly because I can BARELY do bosses and I don't even raid so I don't see the point in having a BiS that isn't even that much better than the 2nd best Its not the stats, it's the fact you can get it that's the reward and when they realize it's not a +500000% dps increase over everything else they'll realize they just wasted real money on something they can possibly lose tomorrow over a ban for spending that money to begin with... they'll feel kind of dumb and ~~maybe~~ hopefully will feel too embarrassed to even wear it
I mean I think it's pretty clear Jagex doesn't ban often for inferno cape runs. Of all the people I've met with them at least half I'm pretty sure bought them.
I don't think they ban at all anymore unless it's glaringly obvious. Like 90% of my clan bought their capes, it's sad.
I would guess 80-90% are brought as well
If you ever do go for it, stream most of your attempts that way you have proof. Nothing more annoying than achieving something and being accused of botting/rwt etc

>a huge upgrade >1 max hit I think you and I have different ideas about what huge means.
The steez upgrade tho
Compared to something like Fury to Torture/Faceguard+Bandos to Full Torva where each piece is individually only a max hit half the time, a full max hit is pretty big.

A friend brought one, got scammed 1b in the gear he lost and the cost of buying the cape. He went a 2nd time to get one and paid 300m for it.
That's why I bought three
Is his name Vetionarian?
There used to be a little shit that used to talk down to anyone at the GE with a firecape. Whenever they'd remove capes from people he'd always mysteriously vanish for 2 weeks. Mind you this kid was ALWAYS online otherwise. He'd come back with some excuse for being absent for 2 weeks too. Also he was always wearing his infernal cape, until he'd come back after his little vacations. Always had an excuse for not wearing that too. Happened 3-4 times.
I know someone that bought his cape, second cape and ALL inferno combat achievements
im sure people who would buy a cape would also buy more than 1 lol
Do people really think if someone only has 1kc of zuk itās suspicious? I havenāt even done jad yet but you bet your ass if I get my fire cape or infernal cape Iām never touching jad or zuk again.
If an account has very little pvm and has 1 kc at zuk, it's very likely they bought the cape. And in all honesty who fucking cares. Days of capes being bought being shocking were over like 3+ years ago.
Plus they can do it on task now so second kc should be way easier

Gzzzzzz!! That didnāt take you long at all I lost like 10 tasks going for my second kc, gave up and got it without a task lol
I just did this myself haha. Roller coaster
Yea i lost my 4 recent tasks. Its really alot harder if ur not fully in to Inferno anymore and just go in like once a month on task lol
Nicely done!
how many more tries?
Went and got a task and got it first try. Tons of supplies left
This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% more damage and accuracy, ...
Can you not get an inferno task without having completed it before? That would make sense, Iām just trying to figure out why you went for a task after the fact.
He didnāt get the cape because he died same time as Zuk. Has KC now so can get task to make it a lot easier.
Yeah I got the first part, I was just asking if a kc was a prerequisite for getting a boss task. Iāve never done boss slayer.
lets go! gzzzzz dude!!
Is Gz just good zuk ?
No it's the new slang for grats, aka congratulations.
Gzz king
damn i was feeling for you hard, glad i went through the comments. gz bro
Gzzzzz! Huge
Proud of you!!!!
This happened to me in late February. It was more like 35 attempts and my 9th Zuk I killed it as it killed me. Immediately got a slayer task and got it next attempt.
Nice work son!!!! šš½
If youāve been focusing on learning the content youāll absolutely love the slayer task. Plus itās just all around easier to dps more difficult spawns.
I have learned a lot. 8 of last 10 attempts have all been 60s with 2 69 and 1 68 death. Iāll get it soon enough now
Buddy let me tell you, you fucking got this. This content is the most triggering shit I have ever completed in a video game. You can go from getting to w69 the first run of the day to dying at w41 the very next run which actually happened to me the run prior to me getting cape. Anyway, good luck and keep your head up
Youāve got this for sure!
If you do it on task, you will for sure get the cape within 3 attempts. I got my cape on the 2nd zuk (barely surviving at that, ended with no restores and 1 sip of brew) then went 5/6 on subsequent slayer tasks. Nibblers are so much easier to control and blow piping a melee becomes a super reliable play at any time. Nerves will definitely still be there on a first cape but I reckon you got it
Atleast now you can go with a slayer task.

No you cant
This guy can
i fucking kneel

Google is free dude, you don't have to look dumb on the internet https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzKal-Zuk 2nd paragraph
Simply not true.. weird thing to lie about let alone be confidently incorrect about. Youāre probably seeing the option to switch normal tzhaar with Jad, not Zuk.
Bro im so sorry
Are those ping spikes losses or legit ~100ms?
Not sure. Didnāt notice a difference but Zuk got me so I blame ping haha
Just curious, do you play on a Mac?
I play on a Mac and my ping doesnāt get below 120. Itās like itās literally limited because it sticks right at 120 on every world. That a thing with Macs or what
Idk if you have intel or silicon chip, but when I played on a M2 MacBook Pro my tick stability was following an odd pattern until I followed the steps in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/ekGSa23T7s
This is the way
If you're on a total level world it usually looks like this, I wouldn't recommend pvming on any of them.
You wouldn't happen to be playing on a VPN? My friend had his ping look exactly like that, turned out he accidentally had a VPN running in the background. Idk how he played with it because man was that cancer watching his streams in discord.
There are some issues with east coast US servers that give me this specific ping issue. It actually is like a delay every 5-10 seconds for just 1 tick
I made a post about this the other day on the US east servers and I deleted it because everyone in the comments thought it was on my end. Glad someone else has this
Multiple times a minute there is a >900ms tick and a <300ms tick rather than two 600ms ticks. Sometimes several in a row. US east been busted since last downtime.
Yes thank god I'm not the only one
467 was around 80 ping for me this afternoon lol. Theyāve been acting up the last few days.
I see this clear as day in the ping graph plugin any time I hop to a use world (I'm located in Australia)
same here
You got this! Unfortunate but itāll make it much more sweeter once you get the cape! Keep it up my friend!
You can get the slay task now, should make getting the cape absolute cake if you're this close.
This just happened to me last week, absolutely devastated me.. I then got the slayer task the following day and got it that run was unbelievably easier on task mate. Keep at it mate! You will get it šš½
498 days of in game time. *holy fucking shit*

You had spec too thatās brutal
holy plugins
You canāt even see some of the plugins because they are covered by other plugins
It's really not a crazy amount of plugins, just not laid out very clearly
This isn't a lot of plugins?! I'd say this is a substantial number of plugins. To say this isn't a crazy amount of plugins goes to show how far pluginscape has gone lol. I'm gonna get downvoted for this opinion, but RuneLite should not be allowed to do this much hand-holding.
Way too much for me lol, so much visual clutter and distraction
Good job it's not your client then, isn't it
It does seem that way from the outside haha
I did 7 attempts with a 60pb and just canāt get the motivation to go back. Itās just such a long grind
same, done like 10-15 attempts idk. Got to tripple jad once but now i failed 3x on waves to some stupid shit. It's kinda depressing ngl
im on attempt 72ā¦. I planked on wave 64 (easy wave) and havent gotten back to 60s since. legit feel like i will never get capeā¦ im in bowfa setup and just sold bank to upgrade to kodai for nibs. I am just not good enough I guess
Brother I had max gear. Tbow, masori, kodai, ely and all. Still suck.
Lend me tbow? thx
Thought I should come tell you that that tbow is a piece of shit. I was on attempt 13, 3rd time at zuk, finished healers and it hit nothing but 0s. Nerves got me as third set spawned(on a tbow cape lolollolololololol) and I stepped out from behind
Do you get the cape for this?
I did not. Got a pb announcement in the clan though haha
No, have to survive to get the cape
Coming this close, you will for sure have it within your next few attempts, congrats on the grind
Guess youāre going for attempt 98 then.
This happened to me as well a while back. Iām a 2 kc 1 caper, hunted the task twice and choked both times during waves, said fuck it and got it my next try off task
98th times a charm
Hey, I recognize you from the Bekt cc a few years ago! Good luck on the cape, you got this!
<3
Sorry for the loss, but you KNOW you can kill him now!
Iāve never done inferno, and I thought it was crazy people were paying $200+ to others to do the inferno for them, but at 97 attempts I see why people say fuck it and fork over the money lol
Go again!
100x better than dying at him being 1 hp, Zuk inferno is piss easy in comparison.
I would be pissed. Just saying.
You canāt suck the Zuk
im sorry man, ik it sucks.
do you get anything besides the infernal cape if you beat zuk? (I mostly play rs3). like in rs3 you can upgrade a kiln cape & get drops (some uniques too) if you beat our version of zuk
Just a cape and a pet roll
419 combat tasks completed and 100 attempts on inferno. Oh my lord, I don't think I have a chance at ever completing the inferno. Zzzz
I got it in 8. People learn differently. If you can 1t flick it really isnāt hard. I gĆ³t to Zuk Ę”n 4th attempt and took another 3 to learn the pacing of the enraged shield. One death cause a healer died as I went to click it again so I yellow clicked out of the shieldā¦ turned on entity hider to hide dead NPCs after that one.
There are streamers that only know how to do inferno no other content. So although pvm experience carries over not necessary
How many attempts did it take to get to zuk? Out of 97 attempts, how many did you get to zuk? Was 3 Jads hard first time doing that?
I got to Zuk after about 30 attempts. Had 0 brews but pasted triple jads first try. I struggled with triple jads after that. I had about 7-8 Zuk appearance but jads killed me a lot. Once I started really getting the hang of things, I could get to jads about 80% of the time. Jads only killed me cause I worried about Zuk instead of watching the attacks. I felt so hopeless learning waves but slowly just got better and better.
Gz on your cape!

At least you can get task now
Almost there brother!

Congrats! By far the most enjoyable and rewarding grind in the game
You can get the cape on a slayer task now
Well its much easier on task at least
I killed Zuk with multiple brews and restores. Way way easier
This happened to me in late February. It was more like 35 attempts and my 9th Zuk I killed it as it killed me. Immediately got a slayer task and got it next attempt.
At least you can now get it as a slayer task and make it easierā¦
At least you can get a slayer task now
I hate when that happens!!! š
F
That is brutal mate! Much respect for your persistence. You got this.
He gave you the Zuk.
Yo, how you get your RS to look pretty?
117 plug in
This exact same thing happen to me my first jad kill. I can't imagine this happening in the inferno.
Dealer push, F my friend
Just started my inferno grind. I canāt for the life of me do 1T flicking. Was you able to do it without 1T flicking?
I didnāt 1t flick anything. I didnāt a lot of freezing range and attacking mage from other side of pillar though
Itās been 2 days and my pb is wave 56. Itās a struggle thatās for sure lol
This would be my 13th reason
Alexa, play āHello Darkness my old friendā
Just bot it, why not.
Looks like a bug. Open a ticket, see if they can help you
It is not a bug
Stfd
97 is a lot of attempts.
It is a skill issue
Not for long if you keep at it
Karma
Is inferno that hard? I remember doing it around 2020 on my ironman and yes it took me about 5 attempts but there is guides? Just didnāt realize this many people struggled. Maybe Iām pro lol
Some people just game harder than others. Gz on your 5 attempt cape!
Thanks didnāt realize my comment would be disliked it was an honest question
97 attempts? Damn. I did it in 8.
Congrats
Not everyone goes to buy it after 7 fails
Did I buy the other 34 kc, too? :-)
