The gatherer's cape is an Expert cape of Accomplishment that shows the wearer has achieved level 99 in multiple related skills. For the gatherer's cape these skills are Archaeology, Divination, Farming, Fishing, Hunter, Mining and Woodcutting.

The release of the Archaeology skill means that players who previously owned a gatherer's cape have lost the cape, and have had the shards refunded to them automatically into the expert skillcape shard bag. Players will have to gain the ancient shard to be able to make this cape again.

To get the gatherer's cape, players must train any of these skills beyond level 99 in order to gain a skill shard for each skill. Once one shard per skill has been obtained, players can combine them to create a gatherer's cape, and a matching cosmetic hood. The shards required for the gatherer's cape are the ancient, balanced, cultivated, damp, trapped, mineral, and wooden shards.

The Capes of Accomplishment each have a perk. The support, gatherer's, artisan's, and combatant's capes can hold up to two of those perks, from their respective skill sets, by consuming a cape by using the respective cape on the relevant cape. Master Capes of Accomplishments can be added, and will retain the perks of both the standard and master versions when added. If the standard counterpart is already added, then adding the master version will replace it.

The Cape of Accomplishment cannot be retrieved, which means that switching perks effectively costs 99,000 coins each time or 120,000 for master versions (extra capes are easiest to get from Elen Anterth's store in the Max Guild). For a list of perks see Cape of Accomplishment#List of Capes of Accomplishment and perks.

The Gatherer's cape has the same stats as an ordinary skillcape, and is also capable of boosting its associated skill by +1 for a short period of time.

The gatherer's cape can't be re-obtained from Diango if a keepsake key was used on it.

Perks

Skillcape			Buying the cape		Perk
			Location	Seller	Effect	Activation
Archaeology cape			Varrock Dig Site	Acting Guildmaster Reiniger	The cape's perk provides the ability to access the relic powers interface at banks, and an additional 1% sprite focus is gained whenever some is gained.	Activate
Archaeology master cape					The cape's perk provides 5–15% of progress to the next discovery when discovering an artefact. When the effect triggers, the following message is shown: Your Archaeology master skillcape perk grants some discovery progress.	Passive
Divination cape			South of Draynor Village	Orla Fairweather	The cape's perk boosts a spring's minimum duration by 30 seconds, one time per spring. This effect does not stack with that of Ethereal Connection.	Passive
Farming cape			Draynor Village	Martin the Master Gardener	The cape's perk provides a 5% chance per action to instantly harvest all remaining resources from a crop (stacks with juju farming potion and greenfinger auras), and notes the harvested crops automatically. The cape can trigger on the last remaining produce of any crops.	Passive
Farming master cape					The cape's perk automatically treats Farming patches with supercompost for free, and allows the player to increase the health and happiness of all of their player-owned farm animals by 20% once per day. This does not use up supercompost stored with the Tool Leprechauns nor automatic composting charges; and if ultracomposting is selected with the Leprechauns, this will automatically take priority over the supercompost provided by the perk.	Activate
Fishing cape			Fishing Guild	Master fisher	The cape's perk provides a 5% chance to gain an additional catch. No experience is given for the additional catch.	Passive
Hunter cape			Feldip Hills	Hunting expert	The cape's perk allows the player to place the next box trap, marasamaw plant or tortle trap instantly within two game ticks of activating the cape. Activation of the cape has an invisible cooldown of one game tick before it takes effect.	Activate
Mining cape			Mining Guild (Falador entrance)	Gadrin	The cape's perk provides a 5% double ore chance on all core rocks. Whenever double ore is received, bonus XP equal to the level requirement to mine that rock is awarded.	Passive
Woodcutting cape			West of the Falador lodestone	Wilfred	The cape's perk provides an increased chance of receiving a bird's nest or crystal geode.	Passive
