They are indeed a bitch to get back, personally I've lost two. Once due to afk training at bandits and i was playing xbox simultaneously and i completely forgot i was even playing Runescape, looked at my laptop and i had died and lost 20m+fire cape.
Second time i stupidly got phished and the hacker decided to drop all my untradables like rapier, torso, overloads etc... which included my new fire cape after i re-obtained.
9 tries ouch that must of been painful. I think i got my first fire cape on my 3rd attempt, first time i tried it was old jad in 2007/2008 can't remember and got my arse handed to me.
Then i went back after the Jad graphical update and i had NO idea they had changed how his attacks looks, and the sounds were slightly changed, so i got to wave 60 and panicked the fuck out like what is going on lol
Then after that i got the grips of it managed to get my first 2 fire capes on my first attempts pretty easy
The title of this thread is "How many Firecapes have you lost?"
If you have lost 0 fire capes, you therefore have never lost a fire cape, lust making this thread non-applicable to you, it is not that the option is missing, but that it is not required/not an relevant option to the poll in question.
