The cape was first mentioned in a Developer Blog on 31 July 2015 and it was released on 7 December 2015 after being announced in December's Behind the Scenes. This cape is not a requirement for the completionist cape or its trimmed version. However, the master quest cape does have requirements that overlap with those capes. The master quest cape also has its own tab within the Completionist tab in the Hero interface where a player can see their progress with requirements for the cape. Players can buy the cape from Curator Haig Halen on the ground floor[UK] of the Varrock Museum.
