The '''veteran hood''' is a hood that can be bought from [[Hans]] if players have had an account for 5 years or longer. The hood is obtained free at the same time as players buy the [[veteran cape]], and unlike the cape, the hood will appear under a player's gravestone.

==History and development==
[[File:GC Veteran Cape.jpg|thumb|The options for the guaranteed poll.]]
The idea for the cape was first revealed in a guaranteed content poll in which free-players and members alike could vote on designs for the cape{{CiteNews |author=Mod Emilee |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/guaranteed-content-poll-veteran-cape-design-result |title=Guaranteed Content Poll: Veteran Cape Design Result |newsdate=1 April 2011 |notes= |date=20:29, May 9, 2011 (UTC) |name= }}. The design of the cape was divided into five categories: hood design, collar shape, collar pattern, back symbol, and cape pattern. One month after the closing of the poll, the veteran cape was once again mentioned in the [[Update:Behind the Scenes - May (2011)|May edition]] of [[Behind the Scenes]], a monthly news release which outlines a tentative schedule for updates which [[Jagex]] plans to release that month{{CiteNews |author= Mod Mark|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/behind-the-scenes--may |title= Behind the Scenes – May|newsdate=2 May 2011 |notes= |date=20:29, May 9, 2011 (UTC) |name= }}. One day after the release of the Behind the Scenes post, the cape was introduced into the game, bearing the winning design as voted for by players{{CiteNews |author= Mod Chris L|url= http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=4227|title=Capes of Distinction|newsdate= 3 May 2011|notes= |date=20:29, May 9, 2011 (UTC) |name= }}.
