How To Farm
Agility In OSRS
One of the
most difficult skills to train in Old School OSRS is agility. You may have
noticed that OSRS accounts with high agility usually fetch a much higher
price. Agility requires attention and
precise timing over and over again to level and is considered not only one of
the most difficult skills to level up but one of the most tedious. There isn’t
really a trick to farming agility that will beat out all the others, but there
are many small steps you can take to ensure you are earning your maximum
potential agility experience. Follow these suggestions and you’ll be at max
agility as fast as the game will allow.
There are a
few things you are going to need to stock up on before starting on your journey
of agility mastery. This will require a
considerable amount of OSRS gold,
so buying some is always an option. You are going to need a heavy stock of
energy, super energy, and stamina potions and you are going to need a lot of
them. These potions mean you won’t have to slow down and wait for your energy
to regenerate. Another thing you are going to want to get your hands on
weight-reducing armor. There are a few pieces in the game, including some you
unlock via agility training, but until you have them try and keep your weight
as close to 0 as possible. Lastly, a good supply of food is important to have
on hand, since many agility training methods can cost you hit points.
Once you are stocked up you will have to do
quite a bit of traveling to access the best places to raise your agility. Two
things to keep in mind while traveling around the world. Agility XP is gained
while running so you should make a point of running everywhere. The other way
you can earn XP while traveling is by taking shortcuts. If you have the
appropriate stats, you should utilize shortcuts where you can to earn extra XP.
Every little bit helps.
The primary
method you are going to use to earn agility XP is on agility courses. The
course you need to utilize is based on your current agility state. Now, many
players recommend questing as a means to bypass the low-level agility courses.
The combination of finishing the Recruitment Drive, The Tourist Trap, and The
Grand Tree quests give enough XP to raise your agility all the way to level 32.
Since questing isn’t always an option, will detail the course work you have to
do.
If you are
under 10 agility, then you are going to have to train in the Gnome Stronghold
Agility Course. This course should be
relatively simple and safe and require no food. Once you hit 10, something you
can do in about 15 laps, you are going to move on to the Draynor Village
Agility Course. Draynor works best for leveling from 10 to 20 but the
difficulty is a little higher so you are going to start using that food and
those potions. A player can do this in about 30 laps and then it’s on to the
next course.
As an aside,
all approximate times assume you are using those energy and stamina potions to
maximum efficiency, so make sure to bring as many as you can.
For 20 to
30, you will be working out at the Al Kharid Agility Course. After 50 laps you
will have managed to finish off this course, despite the fact that each course
awards. You’ll notice that each course takes more and more laps to maximize
your skill XP, but this is unsurprising if you are familiar with the nature of
skill farming in OSRS and its notorious exponential growth.
Moving ahead
to the next course, you’ll find yourself at the Varrock Agility Course. Varrock
should prove another simple grind, allowing your character to get to 40
agility. Past 40 is where you start to run into some more interesting options
as far as techniques and strategy, but we are going to recommend the safest and
most consistent methods of leveling up.
Once you hit
40 you are in for some long haul farming at the Canifis Agility Course. You
aren’t going to want to leave here until you reach 60 agility and this will
take a while. The good news is that this course has the highest spawn rate of
Marks of Grace, an agility training course currency that will allow you to
unlock some super lightweight armor to pay for your training. This extended
training will pay off in the long run, we promise.
After you
reach 60 agility, you’ll need to take a bit of a detour. You need to finish the
hard tasks in the Kandarin diary. It may seem like a pain, but trust us it will
save you a lot more grinding in the long run. Finishing the diary unlocks the
Camelot teleport, which can be used to maximize your training in the next
course.
Once you
have the teleport unlocked, then you should be ready to get comfy at the Seers'
Village Agility Course since you are going to be here until you hit 90 agility.
That is why it was so important to unlock the Camelot teleport. If you use it
at the end of this course it will make your training go exponentially faster
and make this large gap close much quicker.
Your last
nine levels will prove to be much more relaxing and profitable than the rest of
your grind. Ardougne Agility Course offers large amounts of XP and a high spawn
rate for Grace Marks making the last stretch downright leisurely by comparison.
That is how
you can get from agility 1 to 99 as fast as you can in OSRS. It may be a lot
more taxing than woodcutting or mining, but that will make it that much more
satisfying when you are finished. That 99 agility is something you’ll be able
to wear with honor knowing you had the perseverance and determination to stick
it out with one of the hardest farming sessions in all of Old School OSRS . To top it off, once
completed, you will have added considerable value to when you decide to sell your OSRS account. A sense of pride
well-earned, we think.
