Before this update, players with a Max cape killed in deep Wilderness dropped 11,880 GP and nothing in lower Wilderness. This has been raised to 569,250 GP (25% of the Max cape's cost - 2.2M). This change affects all variants of the Max cape.
So it's now pointless to pk with a fire/infernal max cape? Since regular fcape/inf costs 50/100k to repair, and now if you use max variant itll be 2,2m? what kind of bullshit is that lmao, great way to fix PvP /s
Before, if you PK'd with an infernal max cape, fire max cape or assembler max cape below 20 wilderness you would receive a broken version and have to repair it while the pker would a portion of the repair cost as part of their loot. This functionality has been left untouched.
What I did change was make it so that when you get pk'd with any of the max capes above 20 wilderness you lose the cape and the pker gets 25% of the max capes value. This includes the 3 mentioned above and is consistent with how you would lose your fire/infernal capes and assembler when you take them above 20 wilderness previously. All we did is reward the pker for killing someone in a max cape varient.
