Agility Guide

Agility Guide

Introduction
Agility is a 'Members-only' skill that allows you to gracefully swing across rope swings, scramble over rock slides, squeeze through pipes and more; using agility you can access secret areas or make use of shortcuts. Another major benefit of agility is that it affects your energy level - see the Getting around Guide.

To train this skill there are many different obstacle courses where you repeat laps around the course to gain agility xp. Each individual obstacle gives a certain amount of xp, and by going through the obstacles in the correct order you gain a bonus amount of xp. Each of the 13 courses is explained below, following that you can learn about the Agility Arena, the Agility Dungeon, the various shortcuts and other aspects of agility.


There are 13 courses for you to train agility:
Gnome Stronghold Course: Level 1
Brimhaven Agility Arena: Level 1 *
Skullball game: Level 25
Agility Pyramid: Level 30
Penguin Course: Level 30
Barbarian Outpost Course: Level 35
Yanille Dungeon: Level 42 **
Ape Atoll Course: Level 48
Wilderness Course: Level 52
Werewolf Course: Level 60
Dorgesh-Kaan Course: Level 80
Advanced Gnome Stronghold Course: Level 85
Advanced Barbarian Outpost Course: Level 90
*While there is no requirement for the Brimhaven agility arena, most obstacles require at least level 20, and you must have level 40 in order to use all of them.
**Yanille dungeon requires increasing agility levels to penetrate deeper into the area.
Note also that you can use boosters to be able to cross obstacles or enter courses which require 3 to 5 levels higher than your agility level. See the boosters section of this guide.

Doubling your Experience
For players who are familiar with the Barbarian Assault Activity, there is an option that can double the experience gained from completing the courses listed below (excluding Werewolf Skullball and Agility Pyramid). Players that have obtained a Penance horn can set the switch in the wave's waiting rooms to 'XP' and the Penance horn will charge up as the player makes progress through the waves.
The Penance horn works similarly to the Morphic tools from the Stealing Creation Activity. As a player completes laps around the agility course, the horn will gradually lose charge. When the horn is out of charges, it will have to be recharged before it can continue doubling the XP gained from the laps.


Gnome Stronghold Course
Located north-west of Ardougne in the Gnome Stronghold, this is where you will have to start. Around the course you will see Gnome trainers ready to help you out and encourage you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Move through the course in the order explained below:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have 85+ Agility, there is an alternative advanced route that you can take:
After the first tree branch, climb up the next tree branch.
Run across the signpost to the other side. (This is the only obstacle that you can fail. Failing does NOT reset your lap count or reduce xp, it just means that that lap doesn't count towards your total of 250. Players have reported that they stop failing at around level 89.)
Swing to some poles.
Jump over the barrier and slide down a tube to finish the course.
Congratulations on completing an advanced lap! Here's the xp you gain.

Barbarian Outpost Course
Located due north-east from the Gnome Stronghold and due north from Baxtorian Falls. You can also use a Games Necklace to teleport to a spot right near the course. To gain entrance to the outpost you must complete the Alfred Grimhand Barcrawl. To enter the agility course itself, you must squeeze through the pipe, this requires level 35 agility.
The crucial difference between this course and the Gnome Stronghold Course is that you can lose life points if you fall on the spikes or into the pond. You only lose a small amount and it depends on your maximum life points so you'll never get killed. However it is a good idea to bring food with you as a failsafe.

Swing over the spikes via the rope swing (Watch out for the spikes).

22.0

Balance across the log to get over the pond.

13.7

Climb the net to enter this building.

8.2

Balance across the ledge over the spikes (Watch the spikes again).

22.0

Now hurdle over each of the two crumbling walls.

13.7

And your done!

Total Xp: 139.5 Including Bonus
