Members of the AoC community will get a special in-game item for one of the nicest perks in Hyboria.

In addition to looking stylish in the tavern and impressing all the wenches, the Drinking Cape comes with the best perk in Hyboria: free drinks for life.

Drinking is not only a fun way to get to know your friends and pick up wenches (or man-wenches, if that’s your thing), it also is a key component in the Drunken Brawling PvP minigame. Those who don the Drinking Cape before strutting into the tavern get free drinks for life, meaning they can brawl to their drunken heart’s content in all the taverns of Hyboria without losing any money. It’s all the benefits of drinking with none of the side effects, truly a wonderous thing to the barbarian’s heart.

The Drinking Cape features a leopard skin lining to keep you warm once you’re thrown out into the cold night, while its stylish insignia lets everyone know that they’re about to take on a world-class drinker, fighter, and all around awesome person, be it in the tavern brawl, stumbling home afterwards, or on the battlefield.
