Agility Training Update: What’s New?

Jagex has recently enhanced Agility training, making it faster and more engaging. Here are the key updates:

Increased XP Rates: Experience point rates have been boosted by an average of 13.4% across 13 different agility courses, speeding up your journey to level 99.
More Marks of Grace: Seven additional courses, including the level 1 Gnome Stronghold course, now award Marks of Grace, making the Graceful outfit more accessible early on.
New and Reworked Shortcuts: Eleven new agility shortcuts have been introduced, and existing ones have been improved, offering faster navigation and gameplay.
Mobile-Friendly Improvements: For mobile players, obstacle highlights can be enabled in game settings, making agility courses easier to see and interact with.

Why Train Agility in OSRS? Agility Perks

Agility is a highly beneficial skill in OSRS, offering several key advantages:

Increased Run Energy Regeneration: Higher Agility levels directly increase the speed at which your run energy replenishes, allowing you to stay active for longer periods.
Graceful Outfit: Training Agility allows you to earn Marks of Grace, which can be exchanged for the Graceful outfit. This set significantly boosts run energy regeneration and reduces weight, making it invaluable for various activities.
Agility Shortcuts: Unlock numerous shortcuts across Gielinor, allowing you to bypass lengthy routes, access hidden areas, and escape player killers (PKers) in PvP scenarios.

Your 1-99 Agility Training Path in OSRS

Your journey to 99 Agility will primarily involve these five key training methods:

Rooftop Agility Courses: Repetitive, low-risk, and profitable, Rooftop Courses are a staple for Agility training, providing Marks of Grace while you level up.
Brimhaven Agility Arena: Becoming increasingly viable after recent updates, the Brimhaven Arena offers a unique and engaging training experience.
Hallowed Sepulchre: For players seeking the best Agility XP rates in OSRS, the Hallowed Sepulchre is the top choice, combining speed with profit.
Wilderness Agility Course: A more dangerous but highly rewarding option, the Wilderness Course can yield up to 2.8 million GP per hour while training Agility.
Prifddinas Agility Course: Similar to Rooftop Courses, the Prifddinas Course offers a relaxed training experience with additional benefits at higher levels.

Beyond these primary methods, niche techniques can also be effective:

Early Brimhaven Arena Training: Boost to level 15 Agility to start training at the Brimhaven Arena, providing excellent XP rates at lower levels.
Barbarian Fishing: Training Fishing via Barbarian Fishing offers passive Agility experience, potentially reaching level 74 Agility by level 99 Fishing.
AFK Player-Owned House (POH) Agility: Offers the most AFK experience for Agility, though with slower XP rates compared to active methods.

Low-Level Agility Training (Levels 1-30)

Questing is the quickest way to gain early Agility levels:

Tourist Trap Quest: Completing this quest will boost you from level 1 to level 26 Agility instantly.
Additional Early Quests: The Recruitment Drive, Depths of Despair, and The Grand Tree quests can further elevate you to level 33 Agility.

For non-questing methods at low levels:

Draynor Rooftop Course: Now accessible from level 1, the Draynor Rooftop Course is a convenient starting point right after Tutorial Island.
Level 1 Courses: Choose from Draynor Rooftop, Gnome Stronghold course, and Shayzien basic course, all offering around 10,000 Agility XP per hour.
Brimhaven Arena (Spike Trap): At level 15 (boosted with a summer pie), utilize the spike trap in Brimhaven Arena for up to 30,000 XP per hour.
Al Kharid Rooftop Course (Level 20): Offers only 12,000 XP per hour, making Brimhaven Arena a significantly faster alternative at this level.
Barbarian Fishing (Level 30): Starting at level 30 Agility, Barbarian Fishing becomes available, offering a way to train Agility passively while leveling Fishing.

Rooftop Agility Courses: Levels 1-90

Rooftop Agility is a straightforward and profitable method to train Agility. These courses are repetitive and require minimal attention, making them ideal for AFK training while still earning Marks of Grace.

Profitability: Marks of Grace can be exchanged for Amylase crystals, worth approximately 9,000 GP per mark, providing a steady income stream.
No Requirements: Rooftop Agility courses have no quest or item requirements other than the necessary Agility level.
Starting Point: Begin at the Draynor Village rooftop course (level 1 Agility), located north of Spria’s house, the Draynor Slayer Master. Look for the agility icon on the map to find the course start.
Level Progression: The path to level 99 Agility using rooftop courses takes approximately 250 hours. You can boost with a Summer Pie to access the next course 5 levels early for slightly faster XP rates.
Level 70 Course Choice: At level 70, your course choice depends on achievement diary completion.
Pollnivneach Course (Hard Desert Diary): With the Hard Desert diary completed, the Pollnivneach course offers the fastest XP at level 70 due to a 15% XP boost.
Seers’ Village Course (Hard Kandarin Diary): If you lack the Hard Desert Diary but have the Hard Kandarin Diary, the Seers’ Village rooftop course becomes optimal, primarily due to the Camelot teleport for faster course access.
Pollnivneach Course (No Diaries): Without either Hard diary, Pollnivneach remains the best rooftop course option at level 70.

Achievement diaries provide further benefits to rooftop agility:

Kandarin Diaries (Easy & Medium): Increase the number of Marks of Grace obtained from rooftop courses in Kandarin.
Ardougne Elite Diary: Boosts Mark of Grace spawn rate by 23.5% on the Ardougne Rooftop Course, significantly enhancing its profitability.
Best Courses for Marks of Grace: Canifis Rooftop Course (level 60) is excellent for Marks of Grace, especially if you haven’t completed the Kandarin Hard diary for the Seers’ Village teleport.
Mark Spawn Rate: Full Mark of Grace spawn rate is maintained if your Agility level is within 20 levels of the course level, except for Canifis, which always spawns at full rate regardless of level.
Run Energy Management: Completing obstacles on rooftop courses regenerates run energy, often eliminating the need for stamina potions, except at Seers’ Village without the Hard Kandarin diary.
Ardougne Rooftop Course (Level 90): The primary course for levels 90-99, Ardougne Rooftop allows for camera-locked training facing west and concentrated Mark of Grace spawns.
Mobile Obstacle Highlights: Mobile players should enable obstacle highlights in game settings for better visibility and interaction on courses.
Runelite Plugin: PC players should use the Agility plugin on Runelite for obstacle highlights and guidance.

Brimhaven Agility Arena: Levels 20-99

The Brimhaven Agility Arena offers a dynamic and engaging way to train Agility. Players navigate obstacle courses to reach ticket dispensers, earning tickets for experience and rewards.

Gameplay: Navigate through obstacles towards highlighted dispensers to earn tickets, which are exchanged for XP and items.
Two Ticket Types: Recent updates now reward two ticket types per dispenser tag: Agility Arena Tickets and Brimhaven Vouchers.
Agility Arena Tickets: Each ticket grants 345 Agility XP, or 379.5 XP with Karamja gloves 2 or higher. The XP does not scale with level, making it excellent for lower-level training.
Brimhaven Vouchers: Exchanged at the arena store for rewards including toadflax, snapdragons, amylase crystals, a pirate hook, and a dark blue Graceful recolor.
Competitive XP Rates: The arena provides competitive XP rates at all levels, starting at 30,000 XP per hour at level 20 and scaling up to 67,000 XP per hour at level 99. Not recommended below level 20, or 15 with boosts.
Fastest Arena Access: Achievement Diary Cape teleport is the quickest way to reach the arena.
Easy Arena Access: For most players, an Amulet of Glory teleport to Karamja followed by a run west is convenient. Spirit Trees and House Portals in Brimhaven are also options.
Arena Preparation: Entry costs 200 coins per session. Bring extra coins, food, and Graceful outfit if available. Logging out inside requires paying the entry fee again.
Dispenser Navigation: Follow the arrow on the minimap to locate the highlighted ticket dispenser. The first tag now rewards tickets.
Arena Layout: The arena features 14 different obstacle types arranged in a large square formation.
Spike Trap Training (Levels 15-40): At level 20 (or 15 boosted), repeatedly attempt the spike trap obstacle for around 30,000 XP per hour. Use Runelite’s detached camera plugin for easier continuous clicking.
Full Course Training (Level 40+): Once you reach level 40 Agility, completing full laps in the arena by tagging dispensers and using nearby obstacles offers higher XP rates.
Multitasking: Train Fletching or Magic while waiting for dispenser respawns to maximize efficiency.

Wilderness Agility Course: Levels 47-62 (Profitable)

Recently reworked to be highly profitable, the Wilderness Agility Course is currently the fastest Agility XP method between levels 47 and 62, with significant risk and reward.

Wilderness Location: Located deep in the Wilderness, it’s a hotspot for PKers due to its valuable rewards.
High Profit Potential: Paying 150,000 coins grants tickets per lap, averaging 10,000 GP loot per lap initially, increasing to 40,000 GP per lap after 60 laps in a session.
Up to 2.8M GP/Hour: With sustained laps, you can achieve up to 2.8 million GP per hour in profit.
XP Rates & Gear: Offers up to 60,000 Agility XP per hour. Bring defensive gear like Dinh’s Bulwark and dragonhide armor, along with food to survive PK attempts.
Course Layout: Laps consist of a pipe shortcut, rope swing, stepping stones, log balance, and rock climb, ending with tagging an agility dispenser for rewards.

Hallowed Sepulchre: Levels 62-99 (Fastest XP)

The Hallowed Sepulchre is the fastest Agility training method from level 62 to 99, demanding high focus but rewarding with excellent XP and profit.

Gameplay & Profit: Navigate through five floors of complex agility obstacles. High-level players can earn around 1.8 million GP per hour alongside top-tier XP rates.
XP Rates: XP rates start at 50,000 per hour at level 62, scaling up to 100,000+ XP per hour above level 92.
Quest Requirement: Completion of the Sins of the Father quest is required to access Darkmeyer where the Sepulchre is located.
Fastest Access: Drakan’s medallion teleport to Darkmeyer provides quick access.
Floor Agility Levels: Floor 1 requires 52 Agility, with each subsequent floor increasing in requirement by 10 levels.
Recommended Stats: High Hitpoints level is recommended to withstand damage.
Looting Levels: Higher Thieving and Agility levels are needed to loot coffins on higher floors, with floor 5 requiring 66 Thieving.
Initial Inventory: Bring food, stamina potions, a Saradomin item (for run energy restoration), and optionally a Ring of Endurance for extended stamina potion effects.
Sepulchre Traps: Five types of traps exist, with increasing difficulty and combinations on higher floors.
Tile Mechanics: Blue tiles teleport you forward, yellow tiles teleport you backward, adding complexity to navigation.
Priest Trap: Creates 3×3 lightning zones.
Wizard Trap: Casts a line of fire.
Knight Trap: Vaults a Saradomin sword.
Crossbow Statue Trap: Shoots bolts that must be avoided.
Floor Layouts: Floors 1-2 have 4 layouts each, floors 3-4 have 2 layouts each, and floor 5 has a fixed layout.
Floor Timer: Each floor starts with a 2-minute timer. Completing a floor adds 2 minutes. Failure to complete within the time limit requires restarting the floor.
Tile Markers: Tile markers are highly recommended. Import tiles from runemarkers.net or use Pastebin links for Runelite.
Runelite Agility Plugin: Utilize the Runelite Agility plugin for trap highlights and indicators.
Looting Strategy: Always loot the grand coffin at the end of each run for a chance at the valuable Ring of Endurance (approximately 26 million GP).
Profit Looting: For profit or the black graceful set, loot chests on floors 3 and above. Above 92 Agility, focus only on floors 4 and 5 for efficiency.
Portal Immunity: Blue and yellow portals grant 2 ticks of immunity, useful for avoiding traps.
Lockpicks: Lockpicks significantly speed up coffin opening, with strange old lockpicks being even faster.
Saradomin Pillars: Restore 100% run energy at the end of each floor by using the Saradomin pillars while wearing a Saradomin item.
Reward Shop Order: Unlock items in this order: Hallowed grapple, focus, hammer, and symbol, each costing 100 hallowed marks.
Private Instance: Consider paying 200 marks for a private instance, ensuring consistent trap timing and preventing interference from other players.
Hallowed Ring: For players less comfortable with traps, the Hallowed ring (250 marks) reduces respawn time and negates damage.

Prifddinas Agility Course: Level 75+ (Relaxed & Semi-Profitable)

Unlocked at level 75 Agility and requiring the Song of the Elves quest, the Prifddinas Course offers a relaxed training experience similar to rooftop courses, with some profit potential.

Relaxed Training: Less intensive compared to the Sepulchre, suitable for long sessions without intense focus.
Semi-Profitable: Collect crystal shards during laps, worth around 300,000 GP per hour when converted to divine super combat potions.
XP Rates: Starts at 50,000 XP per hour at level 75, scaling to 66,000 XP per hour at higher levels.
Course Location: Start in northwestern Prifddinas, near the bank, marked by the agility icon.
Portal Shortcuts: Occasionally, portal shortcuts appear during the course. Take these to increase XP rates.
Runelite Plugin: Use the “Prifddinas” Runelite plugin to enable low detail mode, reducing lag and visual clutter in Prifddinas.

Low Effort Agility Training Methods

For players seeking less intensive Agility training, consider these low-effort methods:

AFK Player-Owned House (POH) Agility: Utilize a POH dungeon with a specific layout (costing around 1.2 million GP to build).
POH Dungeon Method: Lure a Tzhaar Ranger to attack you, then AFK with Protect from Ranged and auto-retaliate enabled. The ranger will push you through traps, granting Agility XP.
POH Agility XP Rates: XP rates are low, ranging from 1,000 to 12,000 XP per hour from level 1 to 99.
Monitoring Needed: Requires occasional monitoring to prevent dying from melee attacks if the ranger gets too close.
Detached Camera Brimhaven Arena: Use Runelite’s detached camera plugin to continuously click the spike trap in Brimhaven Arena for semi-AFK training.
Wireless Mouse Trick: With a wireless mouse, affix something to the sensor to prevent movement, allowing you to spam-click while away from your computer for very low-effort training.
Barbarian Fishing (Passive Agility): Training Fishing through Barbarian Fishing provides passive Agility experience, reaching level 74 Agility alongside 99 Fishing. 3-tick fishing can also train Cooking.

Agility Pet: Giant Squirrel Chance

The Giant Squirrel is a sought-after skilling pet obtained through Agility training. Expect around a 50% chance of obtaining the pet on your journey to level 99 Agility.

Pet Rarity: The Giant Squirrel is considered one of the rarer skilling pets in OSRS.
Rooftop Courses Pet Chance: Approximately a 44% chance of getting the pet from level 1 to 99 training exclusively on rooftop courses.
Brimhaven Arena Pet Chance: Slightly higher at 59% chance from level 1 to 99.
Hallowed Sepulchre Pet Chance: Around 49% chance from level 52 to 99.
Penguin Agility Course: Despite Brimhaven Arena’s higher percentage, the Penguin Agility Course is statistically the fastest way to obtain the pet.
Penguin Course Efficiency: On average, it takes 4 million Agility XP at the Penguin Course to be statistically on rate for the pet, considerably less than other methods, although the course XP per hour is slower.
