Capes add style to any character in the games that allow them. But capes by themselves are dull and drab. Runescape characters can add spice to their otherwise drab back wear by choosing to dye their capes a different color. Dying capes is done by using the crafting skill and each successful attempt gives the character a small amount of crating experience..
Dying capes is also a good way to get started leveling up the crafting skill. A player serious about leveling up the crafting skill should quickly move on to more difficult items to make, such as pottery or leather working goods.
The process for dying a cape is using the crafting skill is simple. A Runescape character must buy the color of dye he wishes to apply to the cape. Through a magical coding process only understood by the video game designers at Jagex, the color of the cape then change to the color of the dye that has been used on it. The author makes the assumption that all Runescape characters have capes. No mmorpg character should be without this stylish article of clothing.
When a character successfully dyes his cape, he earns 2.5 crafting experience. The amount earned does not raised, but dying capes may be the best way to start with this Runescape skill. A character with the crafting skill needs to move on items that are more difficult to make shorty after he is done with dying his capes or the capes of other characters.
Changing the color of a Runescape character's cape s simple. A player that enjoys trade skills for the crafting process may wish to gather the materials to make the dyes rather than buying them from another player. Gathering dye ingredients is an easy process if the player knows what to collect and where to collect the needed item.

Dying a character's cape is just a way to help each character develop his own look. The video game designers have kept the game graphically simple so that the free mmorpg can be run on a large variety of computers. Crafting is supposedly one of the most difficult skills to level in Runescape.
Because the crafting trade skill encompasses skills that would be broken down into other trade skills in other online games, a player must sort through the information and plan how to level the crafting skill level of his character.
