Agility

Agility is a members support skill which gives access to various shortcuts around RuneScape. More shortcuts become accessible as the player's Agility level increases. A higher Agility level also causes the player's energy to recharge quicker naturally, when resting, and when listening to a musician. The main way to gain experience in Agility is for the player to complete an agility course. Agility courses are loops of simple obstacles. The themes and levels required to use a training course are highly varied. Agility was released on 12 December 2002. The current minimum requirement to be ranked (at approximately rank 881,227) on the hiscores for Agility is level 15. As of 04 February 2023, there are 101,003 current members that have achieved level 99 in Agility. There are 2,707 current members that have achieved level 120 in Agility.

Using food[]

Many agility activities can not be failed and do not damage the player. Food is only required for certain activities or as a precaution. On courses that can damage the player, it is often worthwhile to keep the amount of life points fairly low because the amount of damage taken after failing an obstacle is based on the player's remaining life points.

Agility courses[]

Gnome Stronghold Agility Course location

A picture of the gnome agility course

The player's Agility level is increased mainly by completing laps around agility training courses. The training courses are identified with a running figure (Agility training map icon) on the map. Most courses and obstacles are themed to the surrounding area. Many of the courses have an Agility level requirement and some also require other levels or quests before they are accessible. Some courses have obstacles that can only be traversed at higher levels and sometimes advanced versions of the course are offered for higher level players. For each course, a set amount of Agility experience is gained per obstacle completed. Typically, players are rewarded with an additional larger amount of Agility experience for completing the lap in full without failing any obstacles. In some cases, this bonus reward makes up the majority of the experience gained for running a lap of the course.

Burthorpe Agility Course[]

The Burthorpe Agility Course can be found in northeast Burthorpe. This course has no starting requirements, and is in an easy location for new players to begin training the Agility skill. It is impossible to fail any of the obstacles at this course so no food is required, though some energy potions may be helpful for faster training. With few misclicks and no delays, this course takes about 38 seconds to complete which yields roughly 8,000 experience per hour.

Gnome Stronghold Agility Course[]

This course has no starting requirements, and it is recommended that new Agility trainers begin here. The course is located near the Grand Tree in the Tree Gnome Stronghold, north-west of Ardougne. It is impossible to fail any of the obstacles at this course so no food is required, though some energy potions may be helpful for faster training. With few misclicks and no delays, this course takes about 43 seconds to complete which yields roughly 9,000 experience per hour.

Advanced Gnome Stronghold Agility Course[]

The Advanced Gnome Stronghold Agility Course begins at the same location as the regular Gnome Stronghold Agility Course. Players with level 85 Agility or above can gain access to this path in the course. The benefit of completing the course using the advanced path is a higher experience gain, and the ability to earn Agility weight-reducing equipment, Agile legs, as a reward for completing the course 250 times without failing. Boosts such as a Summer pie can be used to gain access to the advanced path in order to obtain the Agile armour at a lower level. The signpost run can be failed, but after level 89 Agility, no obstacles will be failed. With few misclicks and no delays, this course takes about 40 seconds to complete which yields roughly 65,000 experience per hour.

Brimhaven Agility Arena[]

Brimhaven Agility Arena

The course is located underground in the northeast section of Brimhaven. The Brimhaven Agility Arena has no level requirements to use. However, players are charged 200 coins to enter each visit. The course is free after completion of the Rocking Out quest. This training method differs from a typical course because instead of a loop of obstacles, players must tag pillars marked with flashing arrows. Obstacles stand between the pillars which slow the player's movement around the arena. Successful consecutive tags earn the player tickets which are redeemable from prizes such as experience. The marked pillar changes every minute. This means players can gain a maximum of 60 tickets per hour which, when redeemed for experience, gains the player roughly 20,000 experience per hour.

Agility Pyramid[]

Main article: Agility Pyramid
Agility Pyramid

The Agility Pyramid is located in the Kharidian Desert and requires at least level 30 Agility to begin. Players complete this course by climbing over obstacles to reach the top of the pyramid before sliding down. While this agility training spot is arranged in a repeatable loop, it also offers players the secondary task of retrieving an artefact from the top which can be sold to the nearby Simon Templeton for 1,000 coins. Because this course is located in the desert, players must bring a water source with them, such as an enchanted water tiara. Obstacles can be failed on this course. With no failures, this course takes about 180 seconds to complete which yields roughly 20,000 experience per hour.

The benefit of completing the course using the advanced path is a higher experience gain and the ability to earn Agility weight-reducing equipment, Agile top, as a reward for completing the course 250 times without failing.

This lap-based agility course can be found in the Hefin district of the elf city, Prifddinas. It requires level 77 Agility and completion of the quest Plague's End. Obstacles on this course can never be failed. This course features two shortcuts which are periodically available to the player and allow for quicker lap times. A unique feature of the course is the build up of velocity while completing obstacles. When a player's velocity bar is filled, the player will automatically complete the next obstacle draining the entire bar. For each completed lap, there is a chance of receiving a reward from the light creature at the end of the course. With few misclicks and no delays, this course takes about 44 seconds to complete which yields roughly 58,000-110,000 experience per hour depending on the player's Agility level. The parentheses in the table below indicate experience gains when the Voice of Seren is active in the Hefin district.

Dorgesh-Kaan agility map
Dorgesh-Kaan course

The Dorgesh-Kaan Agility Course requires level 80 Agility, completion of the quest Death to the Dorgeshuun, and a light source. The basic premise of the course is to cross obstacles using one of two routes to get to an item requested by the goblin Turgall. Once the item is obtained, either path can be used to return to Turgall, who will bestow an experience bonus depending on which route the player used to depart and return. The longer of the two routes gives the player more Agility experience. The shorter of the two routes gives less Agility experience and requires a mithril grapple, a crossbow, and level 80 Strength and 80 Ranged. With few misclicks and no delays, this course takes about 160 seconds to complete which yields roughly 53,000 experience per hour.

Agility Emote

A player wearing an Agility cape (t) and performing the Skillcape emote.

Level 99 as with all other skills (excluding Dungeoneering, Invention, and Slayer) is the highest level you can achieve on Agility. The first person to achieve this was Thehate on 23 March 2003.

The Agility skillcape is dark blue, with a red trim if the player has more than one 99. It is also the only skillcape in the game that still has the old skill icon on it. The cape and hood can be purchased from Cap'n Izzy No-Beard at the Brimhaven Agility Arena for 99,000 coins. The Agility emote shows the player jumping from one brown pole to another then sliding down a third.

Skilling pet[]

Trivia[]

  • Each level of Agility will reduce the time needed to regenerate energy up to 100% for 1 second. So for every 10 levels of agility, the player's reggae is 10 seconds faster. (A player with 70 agility will recharge his energy in just 1 minute and 47 seconds. Compare with an Agility Player 90, he will regenerate in just 1 minute and 27 seconds).
  • When you gain agility experience through Guthix's Tears mini-game, you get the message, "You feel lighter."
