Skill Cape
Released		18 October 2006 (Update)
Members		No
Enhancer		No
Duration		Varies
Requirements		Wearing a Cape of Accomplishment, banana cape, or cabbage cape

A Skill Cape emote can be performed when the player is wearing the proper Cape of Accomplishment, banana cape, or cabbage cape. Each cape is associated with a unique animation, representing something about the skill (or food item) the cape embodies. For example, the Defence cape Skill Cape emote shows a player defending themselves from different threats.

Emote durations

When performed, each Skill Cape emote will stall the player for a certain number of game ticks, preventing most actions from being executed while the emote is happening. The table below lists the stall duration (in ticks) for each cape.

Trivia

• The emote icon depicts a player with a Ranging cape and Ranging equipment regardless of what cape is equipped.
• All Skill Cape emotes are usable on free-to-play worlds, despite Capes of Accomplishment being members-only items and many skills with associated capes being unavailable for free-to-play users.
• The Music cape, despite being visually similar to Capes of Accomplishment and enabling the use of an emote when unlocked, does not have a Skill Cape emote.
• A bug exists where the emote icon is not highlighted when wearing a cabbage cape, even though the emote can be performed.
• Upon initial release of the cabbage cape, players were able to use the cape's Skill Cape emote to complete an elite Falador diary task requiring the player to use a Skill Cape emote at the top of the White Knights' Castle. The bug was patched quickly after being found.
