I have been struggling with this decision for quite some time now and I need your guys' opinion to help influence my final decision. I think that both of the skill capes are very nice, if not the best out of all of them. However, that's not what it's entirely about. I think it would be strategic and smart to base this decision also on long-term benefits; which skill will be more useful after getting level 99 in it?

Two things that come off the top of my head for 99 prayer are:
- Turmoil
- Soul Split

Likewise, 99 herblore allows you to make some very nice potions such as extreme prayer potions, overloads, recover special potions, etc.

I know it would probably be best to just try to get 95 prayer and 96 herblore, but I really would like to get a skill cape for one of them. The reason why I would get 99 prayer is because I am ultimately going for level 138 combat and this will help towards that long-term goal. On the other hand, with 99 herblore I can make the best potions in the game that will help me for miscellaneous bosses and intense training, among other various things as well. One possibility that I have thought about is getting 99 prayer and use the rest of my cash to get 91 or 93 herblore. Then, I would assist people on a daily basis (via effigies) until level 99. It would be a long process but I know I have the patience for it considering that I have currently assisted 5.4M xp in crafting with effigies.

All in all, I am stumped and don't know which 99 I should commit to. That is why I am asking you, rsbandb, which one would you choose?

Thanks much.

I say Herblore, just because I like the look of the Trimmed Herblore cape much more then the Prayer cape. :P :D

This kid has lost this mind, so don't listen to him.

Prayer capes are probably the best looking one in the game. So, if looks is what you want, Prayer it is.

I would go for prayer because I find it more of a respectable skill than Herblore,and more useful. Higher prayer last longer, and give you more benefits when training. I think 99 Prayer + Super sets will make you better off.

I think you should get 95 + 96 respectively, that way you get the benefits of both without paying a ton more just for the cape.

True, but as I mentioned before I really want to get a skill cape for one of them. Unfortunately, I can't afford to get lvl 99 in both of them yet. I am leaning more towards prayer now, though. Then, I should have enough to buy 91 herblore afterwards.

im with djinn here.. 99 prayer and the prayer points are very easy to restore. Although you may make 1k-2k overloads on your way to 99 those will only last so long until you'll have to make more.

Another thought is: overloads are mainly used for boss monsters (or were you can make >100k/5 minutes). Turmoil can be used at alot of places to speed up a kill, or you can flash some soul split while in combat if your needing some healing.

Prayer cape an emote are definitely one of the best in the game, so from just wanting a cape, Prayer for sure ;)

Yeah I chose to go with prayer. Currently 85/99 so I'm getting there slowly. I have all of the bones I need as well.

Yeah I said prayer cause you will have more prayer points,so your prayers will last longer.If your doing god-wars or something you wont have to pot up as much.Where as herblore you just kinda spend your bank and get a cape IMO
