Should YOU Get A Completionist Cape? | The Good, The Bad, The Ugly...

more content like this please! love the rambles while im bashing out comp reqs

I literally had the same thing happen with the Myreque statues that you talked about. I left it to the end cuz I saw it was just a miniquest. Turns out I had everything done and now have to wait 10 days, 4 of which still remain. I hope they change this

I've had my comp cape for a few months now; I definitely agree with the longer, tedious tasks like Livid Farm being long for mostly arbitrary reasons. Livid Farm, for me, was very unfortunate because the Travelling Merchant was not offering Livid Plants for 2 months, which meant I had to do it the minigame itself; I did learn about getting Livid Plants from player-owned farms, but that was when I was 80% done with the minigame. Still, I did make bearable by listening to music while I did the minigame. With Ports, I didn't mind it much because I saw it as a daily thing that I check on once or twice a day; I also knew about the rewards from Ports, so those motivated me to do it regularly. The requirement that I wasn't fond of was Music Maestro; it's not that unlocking music was awful, but that fact that some music tracks were locked behind minigames, which almost no one plays anymore except for those who want the achievements or Thaler. It also meant I had to learn and play the minigames while also find people to help me (this was before I used discord regularly). I was locked out from getting comp cape for a week or two because Castle Wars was empty and Barbarian Assault was intimidating; it was only when I joined a nice clan that I was able to finish Music Maestro. I also looked online for video guides specifically for Music Maestro, and all that came up were the music tracks from Raids by going into practice mode, which I figured out on my own beforehand. Many music tracks were locked behind quests, but I didn't mind because I love doing quests.

Im fully with you on the point about the time gated ones. Like, the egg incubator d&d is a great example (although for mqc) it is literally a full year or half a year with monthly resets, and all you go do is once a month, you do a 5 minute minigame to get told a story by a dragon… like why? At least make it a weekly or less chaptors. I started my ports a bit late so was already behind on that, and then i only recently found out about the d&d because Its way less talked about in the community

3:20 You were looking for 'observations' 😊 9:30 Oh hey, that was me! :3 But got that achievement a while ago, only took 2 attempts I think. Just with random people, never spoke a word with any of them. 😅 You just have to get lucky and end up in a group that care more about killing than skilling 15:40 most miniquests are less important for comp, I think. It's a MQC req, t

What music did you use at 0:30 please? I’ve been wanting to find the name of this song for ages

I've had my comp cape now for a few year, it's honestly something I never expected I'd have or even go for. Luckily for mean I always loves quests and doing side content. Since having my quest cape since release I've always had one of the harder tasks out of the way. There were definitely moments and grinds I hated (Looking at you Livid Farm Pre-Merchant) but I'll never trade the feeling of finally getting it. Then came retaining the damn thing. LOL Honestly it's something I'll recommend doing especially now since it's not as bad anymore plus it give you a good taste of everything the game has to offer. Plus trim and Master QP Cape for those that want a hardcore grind.

Bro you straight up slayed that master clue. I did one elite my entire RuneScape career and will never go above hard clues… 45mins and that was still with skip’s costume & puzzle. The terra compass from Arch I’m sick of doing too. I have saved them up cause the first one was such a cluster fkery it wasn’t able to finish until I submitted a bug report. Granted only have 7 compass saved atm but it gave me that unnerving feeling of not wanting to bother.

Crazy thing with rs3 is, even when you're trim comped, you still have a gigaton of completionist goals you can go for :P

I am currently in progress of knocking out the requirements for comp cape and I totally feel you. Some requirements are just silly....

I don't have the guts to watch this video now, so don't you dare say it's not worth it now that I'm 2 freaking achievements away from it! 😆

Honestly, I'm surprised that the 5000 scarabs caught wasn't a trim req. It feels like it should be one full-stop.

Adding a section labeled “time gated requirements” would be nice

Hey @Chevalric, thank you for this video. People dedicated to the game shouldn't have to suffer silently like this. Im getting close to the end of my Comp Cape grind and yes, all the things you mentioned are terrible and I agree. To add to the list. Getting the song from Barbarian Assault. I have to wait MONTHS to get that song and that's if I can manage to get into a game when the time comes. Mage Arena, Livid Farm, Sprites, and Crocs are extremely grindy basically dead content that needs to be reworked or removed. The Abyssal lord task doesn't make a super amount of sense. Temple trekking would be fine if not for the girl that refuses to fight was coded a bit differently. Demonhiem was on my list for a long time but I got super lucky one day. For months I would go and no one be there. I play on weekends or at night so Im basically a solo player. Honestly, I feel like the cape needs to be reworked into a tiered system. Or "comp armor" even. It used to be the elite diaries but its gotten a bit out of hand. Some requirements like livid farm seem legitimately malicious.

My main issue with trim comp is a lot of the requirements are just excessively over the top to the point where there is really no need to do it other than trim. Not to mention that the particles do not match the actual gold coloring of the trim on the Cape and it just seems out of place

Lmao the myreque statues was me, bummer when i noticed i had to wait 10 extra days lol

I don't mind the grind requirements. I just hate forced dead multi-player minigames.

trim has been ever elusive for me, i hit a burn out point, and when i think about trimming again theres another 10+ new reqs. as of right now, only missing dinos/last kal'gerion scroll, and the boss pvm reqs

My biggest issue going for comp is the 120 skills, i have always liked doing all the different kind of content in osrs for comp, but also rhe kind of guy qho think 99 is maxing.

Had it back in 2016.. took a break just came back in Nov.. its like the req doubled while i was gone like jeez i have a lot to do
