OSRS Quest Cape: Requirements and Hours Left

What the quest cape needs

The quest point cape needs every quest in the game: 189 quests worth 349 quest points. Recipe for Disaster's 10 parts are listed one by one, which makes 198 quests to tick. Miniquests are not part of it, but 6 of them have to be done along the way because a quest needs them, such as Alfred Grimhand's Barcrawl, Enter the Abyss and Skippy and the Mogres. The page lists all of them in the Optimal Quest Guide's order for your account, main or ironman, which puts quests that give experience before the quests that need it.

With boosts, an account can do every quest with 70 Mining and 60 Fishing and boost the last 2 Mining and 2 Fishing levels, since the highest Mining and Fishing requirements are boostable but Song of the Elves needs 70 Mining and The Fremennik Exiles 60 Fishing without a boost. The other levels cannot be cut that way. Dream Mentor needs combat level 85, and While Guthix Sleeps needs the Warriors' Guild.

How the hours are worked out

Each quest is timed from its official length. Quests with a speedrun Bronze time from Jagex use that time, and every other quest uses the middle Bronze time of quests the same length, both scaled up for a player who is not speedrunning. The scale comes from Dragon Slayer II: the first player to finish it on release day took 2 hours 55 minutes, against a Bronze time of 2 hours 20 minutes, so every quest takes 1.25 times its Bronze time. On that model the quests alone take about 139 hours from a new account.

Training is added just before the quest that needs each level, so experience from earlier quests counts first. A boostable requirement is trained only to the level the best boost you can use reaches it from. Each stretch is timed with the fastest method the XP calculator lists at every level, and Farming is counted in days because trees grow in real time. Combat level 85 and the Warriors' Guild are met by whichever mix of the seven combat skills takes the fewest hours. Experience a quest gives is the amount the guide counts, and the quest XP rewards calculator lists each one.

Bone Voyage needs 100 kudos. Quests give kudos at the Varrock Museum, and when they are not enough by then the page adds the museum's natural history quiz and some cleaning of finds before Bone Voyage.

Ironmen, Hardcore Worlds and Deadman

Ironmen gather every item, so some quests need higher levels to make them, and the ironman order moves a few quests. Pick an ironman account type to get both. Group ironmen also gain group storage slots at 50, 100, 150 and 200 quest points. On a hardcore account a death during a quest is a real death except in a few fights, listed under the cape. Hardcore Worlds are members worlds for main accounts with one life and the main game's experience rates.

On the permanent Deadman world, Dragon Slayer I, Animal Magnetism, Monkey Madness I, Romeo & Juliet, Goblin Diplomacy, Prince Ali Rescue, Heroes' Quest and Shield of Arrav are done for every account, quest and training experience is multiplied by your protection and level, and quest lamps from the Emblem Trader complete whole quest series for archaic points. A lamp gives none of the quests' experience, so the page leaves that experience out and trains the levels instead.

The cape also counts towards the achievement diaries: two elite tasks need its emote, and the trimmed cape needs every diary done.
