4.0 - Miscellaneous

4.1 - Yanille Agility Dungeon

Once you have achieved level 67 agility and you're tired of training at the other available courses, you can train here. The Yanille agility dungeon is located north of Yanille. You might want to bring a weapon, some armour, and antipoison potions, because the agility dungeon contains some monsters and poison spiders.

If you manage to get to the end of the dungeon, there is Salarin the Twisted, a level 70 creature, who is one of the only monsters in all of RuneScape that drops the Sinister Key (several of the Implings drop this key as well). Use this key to open a chest within the dungeon that contains the herb to Zamorak Brew and many other random herbs.

If you really like Herblore then this is the place for you to train agility or for the collection of herbs. This dungeon is full of chaos druids and chaos druid warriors. Chaos druid warriors also drop whiteberries, and other secondary ingredients. Therefore, instead of risking your life going up into the wild and picking them up where the dangerous and mighty red dragon slumbers, you can fight chaos druid warriors for the whiteberries.

When you enter the dungeon, you will find yourself in a small room with three giant bats (level-27).

You will now come to an area with four chaos druids (level-13), and a Salarin the Twisted (level-70). Salarin the Twisted drops the Sinister key, use this to open the Sinister chest in an earlier room.

4.2 - Toy Mouse Training

As an alternative to training at an agility course, those who are level 1 agility can train it by catching a Toy Mouse. Simply obtain a Toy Mouse from a player or craft one using your Workshop Crafting Table 4.

Winding the mouse and releasing it gives 3xp when you catch it. This is best trained in a small area where the Toy Mouse is easily caught, for example in the small room above the Hairdresser in Falador. One of the best places to train agility was within Captain Barnaby's boat at the docks of Ardougne. Crossing the gangplank and descending the ladder on ship (without setting sail), would take you into a one 'square' room where you can pick up a clockwork mouse without it running away. However, due to a game update the mouse requires at least one space for itself so the ship's deck is a better option now.

4.3 - Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup

While you are cleaning up Tai Bwo Wannai, you can gain a little agility experience. When you are hacking the jungles, there can be many threats that are hiding in these jungles. When you kill the threats you get favour from the village. For more information about, please visit the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup guide.

Name	Level	Hitpoints	Favour	Drops	Notes
Large Mosquito	13	3	1	One Proboscis	Also gives 18 agility XP
Mosquito Swarm	17	10	1	Three Proboscises	Also gives 35 agility XP
Giant Swarm	20	13	1	Five Proboscises	Also gives 75 agility XP

5.0 - Course Comparisons

Breakdown of Wilderness Course VS Werewolf Course.

Firstly, here are the facts:
The Wilderness Course takes 43-46 seconds per trip; you fail a fair bit; and it gives a total of 556.5 XP.
The Werewolf Course takes around 53 seconds per trip; you do not fail as much; and it gives a total of 540 XP.

Therefore, it is - despite the amount of times you may fail - the Wilderness course that gives more experience, efficiently. Below is an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of both agility courses.

 

6.0 - Training Methods

Levels 1-25

With level 1 agility, there is only one course available to you, the Gnome Stronghold agility course. This is the best place to train your agility until level 25. You have to complete this course 91 times to achieve level 25 agility. There is no need for food here, as you cannot fail any obstacles. Be sure to take a few breaks while training, because this will be the most boring part of agility for a long time. Before you know it, you'll have level 25 agility!

Levels 25-35

Congratulations on level 25 agility! At this point, you now have two options: you can stay at the Gnome Stronghold and train to level 35, or you can play the mini-game Skullball, which offers good agility experience.

If you decide to stay at the Gnome Stronghold, you will have to complete the course another 169 times. However, you may find it easier to complete a course rather than a mini-game, as there is less thinking involved.

If you choose to play Skullball, you must have completed the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest. Food is recommended for lower level players, as there are monsters around the entrance to the course. However, the course itself has nothing that can hurt you. The object is to get the skull through all of the hoops in as little time possible. If you can do it in less than four minutes, you'll get 750xp. For every few seconds over four minutes, you'll lose about 10xp. If you can manage to get 750xp every time (it's not too hard once you get the hang of it), you'll only have to do the course about 20 times.

Levels 35-40

At this point, you have access to a new agility course, the Barbarian Outpost. You may want to bring some food with you, as you can now fail obstacles, which will hurt you for 2-5 hitpoints. This course is relatively fast experience, it takes 30-45 minutes to level up. You'll need to do it 281 times before accomplishing level 40 agility, though, so take a few breaks--you could even play some more Skullball.

It is recommended that you stay here until level 40 before continuing on to the next step, the Agility Arena. These levels will allow you to complete all the obstacles.

Levels 40-52

These levels of agility will be the most fun you'll have training agility. You're finally able to get the most out of agility. Head to the Agility Arena in Brimhaven, carrying about 500gp, some teleport runes, and lots of cakes. You will need about 200 tickets, if you turn in 100 at a time for the extra experience. You're almost there!

If you feel you are failing too much, you can go back to training at the Barbarian Outpost. However, once you reach level 45, using the arena is strongly recommended, as the experience is considerably faster.

Levels 52-70

The Wilderness course is your best option here, as Brimhaven isn't as fast. You no longer have to watch out for PK'ers, but you still have to avoid the revenant ghosts. Make sure you only bring food and lightweight, non-valuable items. You get 571.5 experience per run. So, after 1000 runs of the course, you'll have 70 Agility.

Levels 70-99

This sounds like a lot of work, and it really is. Ape Atoll is your best agility course now. At levels 70-75 you won't fail excessively, and once you hit 75 you won't fail at all. That means incredible experience from 75 to 99. For this course, you should bring Super Energy potions and a knife. When you get low on health use the knife on the pineapples nearby for food, or thieve from the nearby stalls. After approximately 21,202 laps from 70 Agility you will achieve level 99. Head to the agility master for your Cape of Accomplishment.

7.0 - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does having a higher Agility level make you run faster?

A: No. Though you gain your energy points back faster, and therefore can travel further distances faster, your running speed is not increased when you have a higher Agility level.

Q: Does Agility's bonus work on free worlds as well?

A: Yes, the run energy restoration and use bonuses are in effect just as much as a members world if you happened to be play in a free world, or don't even have active membership! However you will not be able to use shortcuts or agility obstacles while in a free world.
