How Capes Work
Capes go in your back slot and offer small bonuses to melee, ranged, and magic defense. Most of them give the same stats (2 across the board), but how you get them—and how cool they look—is where they really differ.
Tattered Cape
Stats: 0 defense
Crafting: 9 Course Thread
Where: Craft it at any Crafting Table
Why Bother: Honestly? Don’t. It’s your starter rag.
Dragonbane Cape
Stats: 0 defense
Crafting: None
Where: Crafting Table
Why Bother: Exclusive alpha test reward. It’s bragging rights in cape form.
Bramblemead Cape
Stats: 2/2/2
Crafting: 10 Coarse Thread

Why Bother: Solid stats and pretty easy to craft once you get the recipe.
Garou Highborn’s Cloak
Stats: 2/2/2

Stormtouched Cape

Where: Recipe is inside Bloodblight Castle
Why Bother: You’re going there anyway. Might as well grab it and get something for all that swamp suffering.
Final Blurb
Most capes in Dragonwilds offer the same flat stats, so it’s more about which ones are easiest (or coolest) to get during your journey. If you’ve got 10 Coarse Thread and a working spine, you can have solid back-slot defense in under an hour—just don’t forget where you left the recipe.
