1-99 Agility Training Guide

Complete Guide to OSRS Agility Training

Why Agility is Essential

Agility is one of the most universally useful skills in Old School RuneScape, affecting every single activity you do in the game. Higher Agility levels mean your run energy regenerates faster, allowing you to spend less time walking and more time actually playing. At level 1, run energy restores at approximately 1% every 7.5 seconds while standing still. At 99 Agility, this increases to 1% every 2.5 seconds - a massive 3x improvement that compounds over thousands of hours of gameplay.

Beyond run energy, Agility unlocks crucial shortcuts throughout the game world. The Taverley Dungeon shortcut (70 Agility) saves 2-3 minutes per trip to Blue Dragons or Cerberus. The God Wars Dungeon boulder shortcut (64 Agility) is essentially mandatory for efficient bossing. Many quest requirements and achievement diaries require high Agility levels, particularly Song of the Elves which needs 70 Agility and is a major mid-game milestone.

Rooftop Courses: The Standard Method

Rooftop Agility courses are the most popular training method from levels 10-99 for good reason. They're click-intensive but simple, requiring you to click from obstacle to obstacle in a circuit. The key benefit is Marks of Grace, which spawn randomly on rooftop obstacles and are used to purchase the essential Graceful outfit. Full Graceful costs 260 Marks and provides -25kg weight reduction plus 30% faster run energy restoration when wearing the complete set.

The rooftop progression is straightforward: always train at the highest level course available to you. Draynor (10+), Al Kharid (20+), Varrock (30+), Canifis (40+), Falador (50+), Seers' Village (60+), Pollnivneach (70+), Rellekka (80+), and Ardougne (90+) form the standard path. Seers' Village deserves special mention - completing the Kandarin Hard Diary allows you to teleport directly back to the course start after each lap, increasing XP rates from 45k/hr to 55k/hr. Many players stay at Seers' until level 80+ because of this efficiency boost.

Hallowed Sepulchre: Advanced Training

Unlocked at 52 Agility (realistically trained at 75+), the Hallowed Sepulchre is a timed obstacle course minigame in Darkmeyer. It features unique mechanics including moving hazards, timing-based obstacles, and floor progression that unlocks higher XP rates at higher Agility levels. Floor 5 (92 Agility) provides 90-110k XP per hour, making it the fastest Agility training in the game.

The Sepulchre has a steep learning curve but becomes very rewarding once mastered. You'll need to learn the timing of crossbow traps, flame patterns, and arrow volleys. The minigame also offers unique rewards including the Ring of Endurance (extends stamina potion duration by 50%), Dark Graceful recolor, and Hallowed tools for Construction training. Profit averages 2-4M GP per hour from looting coffins, making it both faster XP and more profitable than rooftops at high levels.

Marks of Grace Strategy

Marks of Grace spawn rate is optimal when you're training at a course within 20 levels of your current Agility level. For example, if you're level 80 Agility, doing the Varrock course (30 requirement) will give you almost no Marks. Always train at Rellekka or Ardougne at 80+ for best Mark rates. Each rooftop lap has roughly a 20% chance to spawn a Mark, averaging 15-20 Marks per hour.

The optimal strategy is to farm Marks of Grace until you can afford full Graceful (260 Marks total, achievable by level 60-70), then continue rooftop training and convert excess Marks into Amylase Crystals for profit. One Mark trades for 10 Amylase Crystals, which sell for approximately 1,000 GP total. From full Graceful to 99 Agility, you'll earn an additional 1,500-2,000 Marks worth 15-20M GP.

Important Agility Milestones

Several Agility levels are particularly valuable as goals: Level 70 unlocks the Taverley Dungeon pipe shortcut, essential for Blue Dragons and Cerberus. Level 76 is required for Song of the Elves (one of the most important quests in the game) when boosted with Summer Pies. Level 80 unlocks the fastest route through Taverley Dungeon. Level 90 unlocks the Ardougne rooftop course, the best rooftop in the game. And of course, 99 Agility provides the Agility Cape, which gives unlimited teleports to the Gnome Stronghold agility course.

Training Agility Efficiently

Agility is often described as "click intensive but not attention intensive." You need to click every 5-10 seconds but the actual gameplay is very repetitive. This makes it perfect for watching videos, movies, or streams. Many players use rooftop courses as their "Netflix skill" - something to do while watching content on a second monitor. The consistency and predictability actually makes it quite relaxing once you get into a rhythm.

For maximum efficiency, use RuneLite's ground item highlighting to never miss Marks of Grace. Set up camera angles to minimize clicks per lap - some obstacles have perfect 1-click positions if your camera is positioned correctly. If you have the Kandarin Hard Diary, make Seers' Village your home base from 60-80+ Agility. Consider switching to Hallowed Sepulchre at 82 or 92 Agility if you want faster XP and better profit, though this requires more focus and practice.
