RuneScape Enable Players to Perform Various Activities
The 25 skills in RuneScape enable players to perform various activities within the game, allowing for interaction with NPCs, the environment and other players. Players gain experience points in a skill when they utilise it. For example, mining an ore trains the mining skill, and when the player accumulates enough experience points in the skill, their character will "level up". As the skill level rises, the ability to retrieve better raw materials and produce better products increases, as does the experience awarded if the player utilises new abilities. The total skill level of a player partly symbolises the player's status in the game and the official Runescape Gold high score tables can be viewed by subscribers. Upon reaching the highest available level in a skill, members may buy a special cape known as a "Cape of Accomplishment" or a "Skill Cape", to symbolise their achievement. A "Max Cape" can be purchased if a member reaches the highest level in all skills.
