Restoration of Energy

A vital part of exploring the world of RuneScape is the ability to run. The higher your character's agility level, the faster your run energy will recover, thus the longer they will be able to run.

Your character will always restore their own energy. To increase the rate at which your character replenishes their run energy then right-click the run option and select rest. Your character will then sit down and their run and life points will increase the rate at which they replenish.

Some other methods of restoration include:

Item	Effect
Papaya	Restores 10% energy
Sq'irk juice	Restores 10-40% energy, depending on type of juice
White tree fruit	Restores 16% energy
Sweets	Restores 20% of run energy per sweet
Energy potion	Restores 20% of run energy per dose
Energy mix	Restores 20% of run energy per dose
Summer pie	Restores 20% energy; +5 to Agility
Super energy potion	Restores 40% of run energy per dose
Super energy mix	Restores 40% of run energy per dose
Explorer's ring	Restores 50% of your run energy a number of times per day (depending on the level of the ring)
Strange fruit	Restores 60% energy
Goutweed tuber	Restores 100% energy
Mint cake	Restores 100% energy
Tireless Run (Spirit terrorbird)	Restores a portion of your run energy based on your Agility level
Oo'glog's Salt water spring	Restores run energy and stops it from depleting for a short period of time

Other Skill Bonuses:

With a higher Agility level, your character can yield more from the gathering skills: Fishing, Thieving, and Hunter.

Multiple Catching:

When fishing tuna, swordfish, or sharks your character will have a chance of receiving a bonus fish (no experience is gained for the bonus fish). Below are the exact levels required to begin multiple fishing catching.

The higher your character's agility level, the greater the chance of receiving a bonus fish. However, at a certain level the chances will no longer increase, but stay the same. Both of these levels are listed:

Level	Fish	Begin Multiple Catching	Limit (Highest chance)
35 Fishing	Raw tuna	35 Agility	70 Agility
50 Fishing	Raw swordfish	50 Agility	80 Agility
76 Fishing	Raw shark	76 Agility	99 Agility

Multiple Pickpocketing:

As you gain higher agility levels, there is a possibility of doubling, tripling, and even quadrupling the loot you receive! The result is the same as pickpocketing the NPC 2, 3, or 4 times, but in the time in takes to pickpocket them once.

25 Agility (for the Skullball course) and 60 Agility (for the Werewolf course).

Location:
In the swamps of Morytania.

Fastest Way to Arrive:
Travel to Canifis and follow the north-eastern path, past the Slayer Master. From there head south/south-east through the swamp until you reach an area with an Agility symbol. Talk to the Agility Trainer (you must be wearing a ring of charos) and go down the trapdoor.

Notes:
You must be wearing a ring of charos to enter the course. This course runs in a square (see the map below) so it is advised to to start at the beginning (log balance) and travel counter-clockwise. The obstacles on this course cannot be failed, except the zip wire. If you retrieve the stick and bring it back to the Agility Boss at the arena, you will receive bonus XP.

Course Map:

Experience Table:

Object	Failable?	Experience Gained
Stepping Stones	No	50 (10 per stone)
Hurdles	No	60 (20 per hurdle)
Pipe	No	15
Skull Slope	No	25

Skullball:

Skullball is an agility minigame. You must kick a skullball through each goal as fast as you can to complete the course. There are 10 goals plus one final goal that you must kick the ball through in order to receive agility experience. You will gain 750 XP if you can complete the course in 4 minutes or less, and will lose roughly 8 XP for every 3 seconds over 4 minutes.

You can perform 3 actions in skullball - tap, kick and shoot.

If the skullball goes through a goal then its total distance traveled will decrease by one space.

Action	Spaces Moved

Kick	4
Shoot	10

Agility Pyramid

Agility level:
30 Agility

Location:
In the Desert; head east from the Crocodile pond north of Sophanem, and run past the Wanderer's tent until you see the pyramid.

Fastest Way to Arrive:
Use the Jaleustrophos teleport of the Pharaoh's sceptre, or use the Camulet teleport and head south-east.

Notes:
Speak to Simon Templeton to begin the course.

The main goal of the course is to not only complete it, but to reach the top and obtain the artifact, which Simon will pay 1000gp for. Though you can attempt to pass any obstacle backwards, you will always fail in doing so while taking minimal damage. This can be an effective way to leave the pyramid if you run out of water or food.

It is necessary to bring Waterskins or choc-ices, desert robes (top and bottom), a shantay pass, some food, a bowl of water (if you have completed Spirits of the Elid), and an enchanted water tiara is useful.

Dorgesh-Kaan Agility Course

Agility level:
80 Agility

Location:
In Dorgesh-Kaan, after the completion of the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest.

Fastest Way to Arrive:
Use the fairy ring code 'AJQ'.

Notes:
Start by speaking to Turgall in the northeastern power station. He'll ask you to fetch an item for him from the old generator, you will choose between a heavy item and a delicate item. The heavy item can not be carried on the grapple route, and the delicate one is too fragile to squeeze through the tunnel.

Course Map:

Delicate items
Item	Image
Capacitor
Fuse
Meter

Heavy items
Item	Image
Cog
Lever
Powerbox

Turgall will give you a spanner - make sure to have a space in your inventory for this, as well as a space for the part you're picking up. Make your way to the old generator, use the spanner on the console to retrieve a delicate item, or on the boiler to retrieve a heavy item.

You may use one path one way or both back and forth, as long as you have the correct part with you. For pure agility training however, most players take the tunnel path both ways.

When returning to Turgall he'll give you xp bonus according to which path(s) you took; 571 ranged xp each way for the grapple path, and 1216 agility each way for the tunnel path. In other words, if you used the tunnel path both ways, you get a 2432 agility bonus in addition to xp for the obstacles.

Fallen ladders, swing -and balance cables can be failed, as well as grappling pylons. If you fall while grappling, use the nearby ladder to climb back up, if you fall using the tunnel path, go to the ladder in the north part of the cave and climb back up.

The item you are carrying will break upon falling, destroy it right away and pick up another one from the old generator. If you leave the course carrying an item, including random events, the item will break as well.

Experience Table:

Obstacle	Experience Given
Grapple pylon	18
Balance cable	25
Swing cable	22
Squeeze past jutting wall	7.5
Crawl through tunnel	7.5
Completed Course	53 (using grapple) or 159 (crawling through tunnel)

Miscellaneous:

Penance Horn

The penance horn can be obtained for free by speaking to Commander Connad at Barbarian Assault. The item gives double experience to Agility, Mining and Firemaking (burning logs). When receiving double experience from a skill task, the Penance Horn will lose some of its charge. The horn can be recharged by completing all ten waves of Barbarian Assault several times.

The XP reward can be spent by completing agility courses, excluding the Werewolf Skullball, Agility Pyramid and the Penguin agility courses. When doing the Dorgesh-Kaan agility course, the horn only affects the experience gained from the obstacles, not the bonus from Turgall. Around 1,400,000 experience will be gained from a full horn at level 99.
