I believe RuneScape would be more frequently used
Most underrated items in OSRS
It's not the best-rated, however, I think myths' capes are pretty underrated. It's not quite as impressive as a fire cape, but OSRS gold has a built-in teleport. I like it more than my fire cape for the majority of Slayer-related tasks due to the teleport and honestly it's a lot cooler than the fire cape. Plus galvek and vorkath were far more difficult than the battle caves.
If it had 2 strengths and 2 prayers I believe it would be more frequently used. Sometimes I think they made a mistake by making the fire cape so good. There's no room for improvement without touching the Infernal cape.
This cape developed this good long in the past, before all of the other stuff. It was at the time the absolute hardest content that you could create especially considering the equipment they used back then. It was designed to be a flex that was powerful since it came from content that a lot of folks believed would always be the most difficult task in RS. With the advent of divine bow, blowpipe, potion beer, high healing foods, incredible armor and the prayer switching/flicking mechanics as a fundamental aspect of PvM but it's not as difficult as it used to be , which is why this fire cape is losing a little in its status. Although trivial to a lot many people, it's still an essential part of the experience for any new player. I think the ironman mode has made the challenge return to its original roots due to their limited access to gear and equipment once they've got at the point that they are able to take on the challenge.
They didn't "screw their own heads" by creating the fire cape as sturdy as it can be. The fight caves slowly shifted from being the most difficult to easy content as gear materials, supplies, and the combat mechanics' power crept upwards. When they made the fire cape, it was the most deserved reward for the most difficult content. It deserved to be robust. It certainly does.
Yes, but what I'm trying to say is that by making the fire cape great as OSRS GP they didn't plan for the day when it would not be the most effective anymore, without creating wildly overpowered capes. Similar to how the myths cape is more difficult to find nowadays however they could not create a better one without making the fight caves useless to do. I understand why they created it in the way they did however, they could have future-proofed it by giving it stronger by adding a +2 or 3 strength as well as prayer.
