Agility Basics

by: Latona

Agility can be trained throughout Runescape on obstacles and various courses of differing agility levels. To start gaining agility experience you should go to the Gnome Stronghold Agility Arena. Each course in Runescape has different obstacles that you need to successfully negotiate. Each time you are successful on an obstacle you will gain experience in agility. If you fail any obstacles while doing a lap you will generally lose some hitpoints, they will heal back over time, although it is advisable to bring food with you so that you can continue training for longer periods of time.

After each successful lap of an agility course is completed you will receive a bonus amount of experience. The table below is a summary of the Agility level required for each course within Runescape.

Agility is useful because it determines the rate that you regain your run energy on both member and free to play servers. This can be very helpful when running between places as your energy recovers quicker when you have a higher agility level. Observant players will also notice that the more weight you carry will also cause your energy rate to fall quicker. It is advisable to carry only things that are necessary when travelling between places so you can reach your destination quicker.

There are several items on Runescape that will help you regain energy quicker. The table below shows the name of the item and how much energy it recovers.

Item	Effect
Strange Fruit	Restores 20% energy
Energy Restore Potion	Restores 10% energy per dose
