Cape of the Goblin King This is the Cape the Goblin King wore back when he was still in any kind of shape to wear a cape. Capeshape, if you will. It's like the Cape of Good Hope, only instead of sailing around it, you put it on your back. It's less similar to the Cape of Good Humor, which is very cold. Type: back item Mysticality Required: 75 Cannot be traded or discarded Moxie +7 (In-game plural: Capes of the Goblin King)

The Knob Goblin King (one time drop)

History

• This item was originally an accessory.
• In July 2012, with the introduction of Back Items, capes (including this item) were changed from accessories or shirts to back items.
• On July 16, 2012, it was replaced by the Codpiece of the Goblin King (an accessory, and thus functionally equivalent to the original) because Jick wanted Back items to have a high Myst requirement[1], yet the Cape was a relatively early item that could not be moved to later in the game.

References

• The Cape of Good Hope is the southmost part of Africa. Sailing around it was one of the first major milestone in Portuguese attempts to establish a sea route to the Far East.
• Good Humor is an ice cream brand.
