A detailed image of a Red Soul Wars cape

The Red cape (more commonly known as the Red Soul Wars cape) is a cape used in the Soul Wars activity and also a reward from the Grandmaster quest Nomad's Requiem. This cape is identical in bonuses to the blue soul wars cape. After the quest, players may purchase additional capes from Zimberfizz for 150,000 coins per cape. Multiple capes are obtainable by dropping the capes a player already owns. Zimberfizz can change the colour of the cape between red and blue for free at any time. Both colour capes can be obtained through the drop method.

This cape has the second highest prayer bonus of any item, having a bonus of +12 (Demon horn necklace and Completionist Cape having the highest at +13); this beats the previous title holder, the God stole (+10). The Obsidian cape, the Fire Cape, and Capes of Accomplishment have higher defensive bonuses than the Soul Wars cape; however, the Soul Wars cape has a very high prayer bonus. Wearing it gives an advantage where prayer is needed, such as during quests, slayer tasks and player-versus-player combat. In addition, it is a status symbol, as getting one requires the player to complete one of the most challenging quests in the game. However, taking it into player-versus-player combat is not recommended due to the high price of getting the cape back.

The cape cannot be taken into a Soul Wars game; however, the cape inside the activity provides the same bonuses, provided players have completed Nomad's Requiem.

Despite popular belief, the version worn outside Soul Wars does NOT collect arrows, unlike the version worn inside activity.
