Agility, a members-only skill, holds a pivotal role in your OSRS adventure. Beyond being one of the eight exclusive members' skills, it serves as a gateway to accessing crucial shortcuts throughout Gielinor. The significance of Agility extends beyond mere convenience; it directly influences run energy restoration and unlocks access to specialized outfits, amplifying your character's capabilities.
To truly grasp the essence of Agility, one must delve into the art of agility training. This involves mastering the skill of traversing shortcuts efficiently, enhancing your character's nimbleness and overall effectiveness in the game.
Welcome to the exhilarating world of Agility training in Old School Runescape! While it may be considered one of the more challenging skills to master, the rewards are undoubtedly worth the effort. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the intricacies of Agility training, from courses to essential items that will make your journey to level 99 smoother and more enjoyable.
1. Lighter Equipment: Opt for lighter gear to conserve run energy, crucial for successfully completing courses. Heavy armor may seem protective, but agility demands nimbleness.
2. Bring Summer Pies: A staple in your inventory, Summer Pies not only heal 11 HP per bite but also provide a substantial +5 Agility boost and enhance run energy restoration.
Agility courses are the backbone of efficient training. These specialized spots in Gielinor are designed to hone your Agility skills through a series of obstacles. Although demanding, undertaking agility courses is one of the quickest routes to level 99.
Regular Course: Standard obstacle courses.
Rooftop Course: Offers Marks of Grace as rewards.
Special Course: Features unique mechanics and challenges.
Marks of Grace: Keep an eye out for Marks of Grace during Rooftop Courses. These items, vital for later use, disappear 10 minutes after dropping, so grab them promptly.
While doing some of the Rooftop Agility Courses, it's very likely that you'll come across Marks of grace. These are used to buy pieces of the graceful outfit, recolor any existing pieces you have, and even purchase amylase crystals.
If you're wondering how much amylase crystals cost, they're worth a whopping 14,260 coins so you can use that to increase your money significantly. But of course, you should aim to get a graceful outfit first.
If you want to farm Marks of Grace, here are some of the courses that you can get them from.
1. Draynor: 10-13.8 per hour
2. Al Kharid: 8-11.5 per hour
3. Varrock: 8-11.3 per hour
4. Canifis: 16-18.0 per hour
5. Falador: 10-12.1 per hour
6. Seers: 11-13.8 per hour
7. Pollnivneach: 9-11.9 per hour
8. Rellekka: 13-15.5 per hour
9. Ardougne: 16-18.1 per hour
Graceful clothing is weight-reducing gear that can be bought from Grace found in the Rogues' Den beneath The Toad and Chicken in Burthorpe. The pieces are bought with marks of grace, which are obtained by completing Rooftop Agility Courses.
While individual pieces of the graceful outfit will increase the rate of the player's natural run energy restoration (adding up to 20%), wearing the full graceful outfit gives an additional 10% bonus, giving a total of 30% increased natural run energy restoration.
Item | Cost in | Weight reduction | Run energy restoration rate |
---|---|---|---|
Hood | 35 | -3 kg | 3% |
Top | 55 | -5 kg | 4% |
Legs | 60 | -6 kg | 4% |
Gloves | 30 | -3 kg | 3% |
Boots | 40 | -4 kg | 3% |
Cape | 40 | -4 kg | 3% |
Complete set | 260 | -25 kg | +30% |
We know what you're here for, getting from level 1 to 100 Agility as quickly as possible. In this part of this OSRS agility guide, we're going to share the best way to rummage through those levels with ease.
You can skip a huge portion of the levels by doing quests that give you Agility experience first. With this, we are referring to Recruitment Drive, The Tourist Trap, The Depths of Despair, and the Grand Tree.
1. Recruitment Drive: This is the initial quest for the Temple Knight series. It requires you to solve a few puzzles using your wits. To start this quest, you'll need to speak to Sir Amik Varze on the 3rd floor of the White Knights' Castle's western tower in Falador.
2. The Tourist Trap: This is an intermediate-level quest that's located in the Kharidian Desert. This is an exciting quest that walks you through an undercover rescue mission to save a woman's daughter. To start this quest, speak to Irena by the Shantay Pass, south of Al Kharid.
3. The Depths of Despair: This quest is a part of the Great Kourend series quest so it will be a bit of a journey before you can get here. To start this quest, talk to Lord Kandur Hosidius at his home in Hosidius, northwest of the Vinery.
4. The Grand Tree: This exciting quest tasks you with protecting the Grand Tree and preventing it from dying. You can start this by talking to King Narnode Shareen in the Grand Tree.
By doing these four quests, you can earn a total of 19,700 experience for your Agility. That should be enough to get you from level 1 to 33 without any problem. These quests are fairly easy to do as well and little preparation is needed. This is just one part of your journey to train in Agility though.
Although there are other agility quests in the game, these net you the most XP gain so they're worth doing.
From levels 34-99, you should focus more on the Agility course areas throughout Gielinor. The process will still be long but this is the most optimized way to train agility. Below, you'll find a chart featuring all of the agility course areas you can find in the game, as well as a few key details. We'll dive deeper into each area in the next section.
If you're going to start at the base level directly, the only recommended training course is this one. You can earn around 8,000 XP per hour. This entire part of the leveling system can take you around 13 laps to reach level 10.
We highly recommend going through each of the courses at least once because you might as well start familiarizing yourself with how the levels work.
This special area nets you around 9,000 XP per hour. From level 10, you can get to level 20 in around 28 laps. This area might be challenging if you don't have stamina potions but if you do, you can take it up a notch and get to level 30 in this area. It entirely depends on what items you have with you. If you have Summer Pies getting to level 30 should be a breeze.
This is the first wilderness agility course that you can try at early game. It takes a lot less work than the previous two agility courses. You can keep the mouse cursor in one spot and continuously click to earn more XP. You can earn around 13,200 XP per hour.
The downside however is that since this is a wilderness agility course, you could be exposed to player hunters within the area. Any wilderness course in OSRS will put you in danger of PVP so keep that in mind.
This is currently one of the best spots to get to level 30 if you want to focus on rooftop agility courses. It nets you 9,360 XP per hour if you have stamina potions. This is a good alternative to Werewolf Skullball just in case you don't have access to that area yet.
This is the fastest way to get to level 40 Agility. The problem is that you'll first need to complete the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest and have the Ring of Charos to gain access to the area. If you haven't done any of this, you can either focus on Al Kharid Rooftop Course or the Varrock Rooftop Course instead.
Don't bring any Summer Pies or any food for that matter for this course. You'll need to brace yourself though as the course itself is very click-intensive. It can be tough but once you get the rhythm, you can breeze through the course easily. With good focus, you can gain up to 18,000 XP per hour.
If you want something that takes less work to do but gets you a good amount of XP as well, you can choose this over the previous two courses on this list. With luck and skill, you can get up to 13,200 XP per hour on this rooftop course. Even if you fail on some obstacles, you're still getting a ton of XP.
The Varrock agility course is fairly easy to do. Even if you fail obstacles here and there, you're still getting a good amount of XP.
If you're planning on collecting Marks of Grace, then this is one of the best courses to choose. That's on top of the fact that this is a good alternative to the Werewolf Skullball when it comes to XP gain. Still, you can expect to get 18-22 Marks of Grace per hour on average. If you're wondering how much that can get you in terms of coins, that's 313,720 coins.
If you consistently train in this area, you can earn enough XP to get to level 60 Agility with ease. Each hour on the course can yield you around 17,800 XP. If you fail in some areas, you can expect to get around 14,000-16,000 instead.
If you've done Monkey Madness I - chapter 2, then you should've unlocked this course. This course can give you around 30,000-35,000 XP every hour. With stamina potions you can greatly increase that to 45,000-50,000 per hour. The problem though is that your XP gain can suffer drastically each time you fail so make sure to be very careful and thorough in this course.
The Wilderness Agility Course is an Agility training area located in the Wilderness, available to players with level 52 Agility.
The easiest way to get there is to teleport using Edgeville's teleport lever to teleport to the Deserted Fortress. From here, run north and cut the net. Then run west. Bring a knife or any sharp weapon to cut the net.
The Agility course rewards 571.4 Agility experience per completed lap. With an average time of 40 seconds per lap, it is possible to get upwards of 47,500 Agility experience per hour from this course. At lower Agility levels expect to get around 40,000 Agility experience per hour, depending on concentration levels.
The Seers' Village Rooftop Course is a Rooftop Agility Course located in Seers' Village that is available to players with an Agility level of 60. It is preceded by the Falador Rooftop Course and followed by the Pollnivneach Rooftop Course.
The Seers' Village Rooftop Agility Course can be started by climbing up the wall near the entrance of Seer's Village bank and is finished by jumping off the roof of the church, by the Yew trees. Players gain 570 experience in total per completed lap of the course. The course can be a destination for an elite clue scroll step, where players are required to search a crate on top one of the buildings that is part of the Agility course.
If this course is started at level 60, it would take 814 complete laps to reach level 70.
You're going to be spending most of your time in the Hallowed Sepulcher once you hit this part of your agility training. It provides the best XP gain out of all the other training courses in the game. It's also one of the hardest but your efforts are well-rewarded in this training course.
You need good timing and concentration to get through this course without failing. If you're very active on this course, you can get to the Grand Hallowed Coffin on the final floor and nab the ring of endurance. However, you'll need to be at level 66 Thieving if you want to loot the coffins.
Additionally, make sure that you've finished the Sins of the Father quest as this area won't be accessible if you haven't yet.
After level 92 Agility, you can gain up to 90,000 - 95,000 XP per hour. If you are looting at this level you can expect to get 2M gold per hour as well.
Keep in mind that these aren't just the agility courses in the game. Some of the other courses include the Pollnivneach Rooftop course, Ardougne Rooftop Course, the Seers Village Course, and more.
