AGILITY

Agility is a members-only skill which gives access to various shortcuts around RuneScape. Apart from the shortcuts, Agility also has several other uses, such as obtaining the graceful outfit and fighting Commander Zilyana.

A higher Agility level allows for faster run energy restoration. At level 1 Agility, a player recovers 1% of their run energy every 7.5 seconds. At level 50 Agility, a player recovers the same amount in only 4 seconds.

Agility Training Areas are identified with a running figure Agility training icon.png icon on the world map. These areas contain an Agility course that players will need to complete to train their Agility. An Agility course is completed by successfully passing all obstacles. It is however possible to fail an obstacle, which will result in the character taking small amounts of damage. Therefore it is advised to bring some food when planning on training Agility at lower Agility and Hitpoints levels.

On many courses, the amount of damage taken after failing an obstacle is based on your remaining Hitpoints, so to conserve food it is often worthwhile to wait until your Hitpoints are low before eating. For example, falling into the lava might cause 12 points of damage in the Wilderness course if at full Hitpoints, but only 6 if there are just 20 Hitpoints left.

For the best experience rates, it is required to continually keep running around the courses. This might result in quickly draining the character's run energy, therefore it can be helpful to bring some energy potions, super energy potions or stamina potions, or to wear weight-reducing clothing while training Agility:
