OSRS Agility Training Guide From Level 1 To 99

Last Updated: 2026-05-03

Agility is the slowest skill to 99 in Old School RuneScape, but the right route cuts the grind from 300+ hours of Ardougne rooftops down to roughly 180-200 hours of mixed Wilderness Course and Hallowed Sepulchre. This guide gives you the verified XP/hr at every level, the exact courses to use, the gear to wear, and the shortcuts the top 1% of players take. Every method below is cross-checked against the official OSRS Wiki Agility training article and the Agility Pyramid reference page.

What is the fastest 1-99 Agility training path in OSRS?

The fastest 1-99 Agility path is: Quest XP through Tourist Trap and Recruitment Drive (1-32), Brimhaven Agility Arena (32-52), Wilderness Agility Course (52-66), then Hallowed Sepulchre Floor 5 from 92+. This route averages 70K XP/hr overall and gives you ~1.6M gp/hr profit from level 92 onward, the only mainstream Agility method that pays you to train.

If you skip questing and grind rooftops the entire way, expect 300+ hours of pure clicking with zero gp return. Only do that if you cannot enter the Wilderness or want a fully AFK-friendly experience.

OSRS Agility XP/hr table by level (2026)

The table below lists the verified XP/hr for every mainstream training method at the level it unlocks. Numbers come from the OSRS Wiki Agility training calculations, current as of the May 2026 game version.

Best Agility training method levels 1-32: quest XP

The fastest Agility start in OSRS is questing. Tourist Trap awards 4,650 Agility XP, The Grand Tree awards 7,900, Recruitment Drive awards 1,000, and Monk's Friend, The Tourist Trap, and Hazeel Cult together hand you ~32 levels with no rooftop clicking. Combine those with Plague City and you reach level 32 in roughly two hours of questing instead of six hours of Gnome Stronghold loops.

If you would rather not quest, run Gnome Stronghold (level 1) and switch to Draynor (level 10) for Marks of Grace. See our companion OSRS Optimal Quest Guide for the exact order — it bundles every Agility-XP quest with the prayer and herblore quests you'll want to knock out anyway.

Brimhaven Agility Arena: the 32-52 powerhouse

Brimhaven Agility Arena gives 30,000-50,000 XP/hr from level 32 to 52, plus around 27,000 Agility Arena tickets per hour you can trade for graceful pieces, pirate's hook, or pure XP boosts. It is on Karamja, accessed via the boat at Port Sarim for 30 gp. Bring stamina potions, a weight-reducing outfit, and follow the spike-trap rotation visible in the top-left HUD.

This is also the only mid-level method where you keep gaining XP while AFK-ish — you only need to react every ~30 seconds when the ticket-tile updates. For comparison with the rest of the AFK skill ladder, see 5 Fastest Skills To 99 In OSRS.

Wilderness Agility Course: 52-66 with profit

The Wilderness Agility Course at level 52 gives 50,000-60,000 XP/hr and earns up to 1M gp/hr from blighted supplies, statuettes, and dragon med helms in the loot pile after 60 laps. The course is in the deep Wilderness north of the Lava Maze (level 50+ wild), so PKers are a constant risk — bring nothing except a Burning amulet, stamina potions, and food you can drop instantly.

Three rules keep you alive: (1) hop worlds the moment a PKer enters the area, (2) never carry more than 50K gp of risk, (3) use the Burning amulet teleport-out as your panic button. The Wilderness Course is the highest-EV method on the entire 1-99 path because it stacks XP, gp, and Marks of Grace. Pair it with the bossing income from our Top 10 OSRS Skilling Money Makers for 2025 when you take rest breaks.

Hallowed Sepulchre: 52-99 with the highest XP and profit

Hallowed Sepulchre in Darkmeyer is the single best method from level 92 onwards, giving 98,000-108,000 XP/hr on Floor 5 with 1.6M gp/hr in hallowed marks, dark dyes, and Ring of Endurance scraps. You can start as early as level 52 (Floor 1 only), but the profit unlock is Floor 5 at 92, which requires the Sins of the Father quest first. It is one of the most click-intensive activities in OSRS — expect 1,500+ APM during the obstacle phase.

Per the OSRS Wiki Hallowed Sepulchre profit calculator, Floor 5 at level 99 averages 1,628,443 gp/hr — making it the only Agility method on the SERP that pays for itself. The catch is execution: a single missed jump on Floor 5 wipes 30 seconds of run, so practice Floor 4 to consistency before chasing the Floor 5 numbers.

Best Agility gear and the Graceful outfit cost

The best Agility outfit in OSRS is the full Graceful set: it grants 30% reduced run-energy drain, restores energy 30% faster, and is required to be competitive on rooftop courses. The full set costs 260 Marks of Grace total — Hood 35, Cape 40, Top 55, Legs 60, Gloves 30, Boots 40 — purchased from Grace in the Rogues' Den or the Hallowed Sepulchre's Mysterious Stranger.

Other gear cues: a Stamina potion (4) caps energy at 100% for 2 minutes per dose, and the Spottier cape (Hunter level 66) is a slight upgrade over the regular Graceful cape on rooftop courses. For Wilderness running, swap the Graceful cape for a Burning amulet to keep the panic teleport ready.

Agility boost: Summer pie, Stews, and Spicy stew

The fastest Agility boost in OSRS is the Summer pie (+5 levels), made at level 95 Cooking from a pie shell, strawberries, watermelon, and cooking apples. Summer pies stack: pop one to reach Brimhaven Agility Arena at level 27 (instead of 32), unlock the Wilderness Course at 47 (instead of 52), or push for Werewolf Agility at 55 (instead of 60). Spicy stew with orange spice can boost +6 but is unstable (can also reduce your level).

For Quest unlocks specifically, see the Quest Cape fast guide — it lists every shortcut quest that unlocks Agility courses (Eagles' Peak, Spirits of the Elid, etc.).

Agility shortcuts and quest unlocks worth doing

Agility shortcuts save more real-world time than the XP/hr stat suggests. The four highest-EV unlocks are: (1) Falador wall shortcut at 5 Agility, (2) Karamja volcano rope at 53, (3) Edgeville Wilderness Ditch at 1, and (4) Ardougne Achievement Diary Hard, which unlocks the Ardougne rooftop XP boost from 855 to 880 XP per lap. The diary boost alone saves roughly 8 hours over the 90-99 grind.

If you would rather pay to skip the unlock grind, our OSRS Achievement Diary Service handles the Hard tier on every region.

Agility for Ironman accounts: the modified path

Ironman Agility training is the same general path with three tweaks: (1) you cannot buy Stamina potions, so Spirit terrorbird summoning or restored Vyre energy is the bottleneck, (2) Marks of Grace are precious because you can only earn them, not trade for them — Canifis is the sweet spot for mark/hr farming, (3) the Hallowed Sepulchre Ring of Endurance is roughly 5x more valuable on Ironman because you cannot trade for it. The OSRS Wiki Ironman Agility Guide recommends ~1,000 Sepulchre runs to get the Ring on average.

For the rest of the Ironman skill order, see our dedicated Ironman Guide for Beginners.

Agility for F2P accounts: Gnome Stronghold only

F2P Agility is capped at the Gnome Stronghold rooftop course, which gives 6,000-8,000 XP/hr from level 1 onwards. F2P cannot access Marks of Grace, Brimhaven Agility Arena, or any rooftop past Gnome Stronghold. Realistic F2P max is roughly level 60 Agility before the boredom and the lack of XP/hr scaling kills the grind.

F2P players who want to push higher should consider the membership upgrade, since Agility is the single biggest QoL skill in the game (run energy affects every other activity). To fund the bond, see OSRS F2P Money Making Guide.

How long does 1-99 Agility take?

1-99 Agility takes roughly 180-220 hours on the optimal path (quests + Brimhaven + Wilderness + Sepulchre F5 from 92), and 270-310 hours on the safe rooftop-only path. From level 70 onward, every level adds about 40-60 minutes of grind on rooftops or 25-35 minutes in the Sepulchre. As Old School RuneScape player Maddy notes in their oft-cited 99 Agility guide, "consistency on Floor 5 is what separates 90 XP/hr from 108 XP/hr — practice Floor 4 first."

If you'd rather spend that time on bossing or earning gp, our OSRS Power Leveling service covers Agility 1-99 with hand-trained, no-bot delivery.
