It was awe-inspiring to go back to OSRS gold Grand Exchange and see people dressed in armor and wielding swords that seemed to unleash god-killing force to smash my high-gloss dragon's armor, and abyssal whip (that'd be impressive if you played in the days of my youth or even as a kid).
Even the menus were different, though it turns out the folks at Jagex provided a wide range of support for older players with a menu for the past, such as a classic mode. In another nod towards old players, I ecstatic to discover that if I went to Lumbridge and spoke with Hans one of the most famous NPC since the beginning of the game, Hans could give me five-, 10--, as well as a 15-year-old veteran's cape. The cape that has 15 years of service is something to see; it's got fire burning in the top.
In the wake of being overwhelmed, I decided to pursue a lifetime ambition of mine: to master firemaking. Mastering the art of firemaking takes numerous hours of repetitive actions to reach 99 levels (now the number is 120 for a few skills), and doing so will earn you a cape worthy of the title of a master. The cape has been trimmed. It's bright.
It shows the symbol of the skill of any kind and even includes a matching hood. My brother and a trusted friend who claimed to be a powerful mage--also joined in the RuneScape gold fun, and after having a second look around all the possibilities of RuneScape universe (and frequently reminding my crew on the Discord chat that I was the most powerful among us) it was time to get started.
