A complete Old School RuneScape Agility guide covering the fastest XP routes, profit methods, AFK options, and milestones from level 1 to 99.
OSRS 1–99 Agility Training Guide
Why Train Agility?
Agility directly improves run energy regeneration, unlocks powerful shortcuts, and is required for major quests, diaries, and stamina potion creation. From early-game mobility to endgame PvM efficiency, Agility impacts nearly every account type.
At-a-Glance: Best Agility Methods
Fastest XP Overall: Hallowed Sepulchre (62–99)
Best Early Levels: Quests + Brimhaven Spike Trap
Best Profit: Wilderness Agility Course
Most Relaxed: Rooftop Courses
Most AFK: Barbarian Fishing / POH Agility
Level 1–33: Early Progression
Questing is the fastest start, skipping slow early training entirely. Completing Tourist Trap, Recruitment Drive, Depths of Despair, and The Grand Tree rapidly pushes Agility into the 30s.
If skipping quests, early rooftop and beginner courses are accessible from level 1 but are significantly slower.
Level 15–40: Brimhaven Spike Trap Method
The Brimhaven Agility Arena spike trap provides unmatched XP for early levels. With a temporary boost, this method delivers close to 30k XP/hour, far exceeding rooftops at the same level.
How It Works
Repeat the same obstacle continuously
Minimal movement, consistent XP drops
Highly click-efficient with camera positioning
Rooftop Agility: 1–99 Core Training
Rooftop courses form the backbone of most Agility journeys. They are low effort, predictable, and reward Marks of Grace used for the Graceful outfit.
Key Tips
Always train on the highest course you can access
Diary-completed courses often outperform higher-level ones
Marks of Grace peak at specific rooftops depending on level
Brimhaven Agility Arena (40–99)
Beyond level 40, the arena becomes a strong alternative to rooftops. XP scales with level, and ticket turn-ins benefit greatly from Karamja Gloves.
Why Choose Brimhaven?
Competitive XP rates
Optional profit through reward items
Flexible pacing
Wilderness Agility Course (47–62+)
This is the fastest XP method between levels 47 and 62 and one of the most profitable skilling methods available. Surviving longer sessions significantly increases GP per hour.
Risk vs Reward
Up to ~2M GP/hour if uninterrupted
Inconsistent due to PvP risk
Group or defensive setups reduce danger
Hallowed Sepulchre (62–99)
The fastest Agility XP in the game, rewarding precision and practice. Unlike traditional courses, this method requires learning patterns and reacting to traps.
XP & Profit
50k XP/hour at 62
Up to 90–100k XP/hour at high levels
Over 1M GP/hour with consistent looting
Essential Preparation
Sins of the Father completed
Saradomin item equipped
Grapple, crossbow, lockpick
Alternative & Completionist Courses
Prifddinas Course (75+)
Relaxed training with crystal shard rewards, offering strong XP and passive profit.
Ape Atoll Course (48+)
Collection log-focused course rewarding monkey backpacks and over 1M Agility XP total.
Colossal Wyrm Course
Slightly AFK, no-fail course used primarily for cosmetics and collection logs.
AFK Agility Methods
Barbarian Fishing: Passive Agility XP while training Fishing
Player-Owned House: Extremely AFK but very low XP
Agility Pet: Giant Squirrel
The Giant Squirrel is one of the rarer skilling pets. Pet chance varies significantly by training method.
Rooftops: ~44% chance (1–99)
Hallowed Sepulchre: ~50%
Brimhaven Arena: ~60%
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring diary-boosted courses
Overusing level boosts and falling obstacles
Skipping Marks of Grace early
Looting Sepulchre inefficiently
FAQ
Is Agility worth training early?
Yes. Early Agility dramatically improves run energy regeneration across the entire game.
Is Hallowed Sepulchre hard?
It has a learning curve, but mastery pays off with unmatched XP and profit.
Should Ironmen train Agility differently?
Ironmen benefit greatly from rooftops and Sepulchre due to stamina and resource needs.
Is Graceful still required?
It’s helpful, but recent run energy changes make it less mandatory early on.
Efficiency Note
If playtime is limited, many players prefer mixing rooftops with Sepulchre or Brimhaven sessions. Some also rely on trusted convenience services like ArgenGaming for time-saving support, while keeping gameplay progression balanced and secure.
