Ironman Agility Training OSRS – Best Methods for 1-99

Agility is a cornerstone skill for Ironman accounts in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), offering faster run energy regeneration, access to shortcuts, and the coveted graceful outfit. For Ironmen, who must rely on self-sufficiency, efficient Agility training is crucial to streamline questing, skilling, and travel across Gielinor. This guide dives into the best methods to train Agility from level 1 to 99, tailored specifically for Ironman accounts, with tips to maximize experience rates and gather essential resources like marks of grace.

Agility is a high-priority skill for Ironmen due to its utility. Unlike regular accounts, Ironmen can’t buy teleportation items or stamina potions from the Grand Exchange, making run energy management critical. A higher Agility level restores run energy faster, saving time during resource gathering, questing, and PvM. Additionally, Agility unlocks the graceful outfit, which reduces weight and boosts energy regeneration, and provides access to shortcuts that cut travel time significantly.

Key Benefits of Agility for Ironmen

• Faster Run Energy Restoration: Higher Agility levels reduce downtime while traveling or skilling.
• Graceful Outfit: Essential for weight reduction and energy regeneration, ideal for questing and skilling.
• Shortcuts: Unlocks faster routes, like the Draynor Village wall or Fossil Island shortcuts.
• Hallowed Sepulchre: High-level training with rewards like the ring of endurance, vital for Ironmen.

Early Game Agility Training (Levels 1-32)

Early Agility training is slow, so Ironmen should leverage quest rewards to skip low-level courses. Completing specific quests can boost you to level 32, allowing you to start at the Varrock Rooftop Course, which offers better experience rates.

Quest Experience Rewards

Focus on these quests to gain early Agility experience:

• The Tourist Trap: 4,650 XP (choose Agility twice), levels 1-26. Requires 10 Fletching and 20 Smithing.
• Recruitment Drive: 1,000 XP, minimal requirements. Gets you close to level 10.
• The Grand Tree: 7,900 XP, requires 25 Agility. Boosts to level 32 when combined with others.

These quests total 19,700 XP, enough to reach level 33, bypassing the sluggish Gnome Stronghold course (8,000 XP/hour). If questing isn’t an option, train at the Gnome Stronghold Agility Course (levels 1-10, 8,000 XP/hour) or Draynor Village Rooftop Course (levels 10-30, 9,000 XP/hour).

Tips for Early Training

• Use energy potions (craftable via Herblore or obtained from monster drops) to maintain running.
• Keep weight at 0 or below using lightweight gear like boots of lightness.
• Bring food (e.g., cakes from Ardougne stalls) to heal from obstacle fails.

Rooftop Agility Courses (Levels 32-72)

Rooftop Agility Courses are the backbone of Ironman Agility training from level 32 to 72. These courses require no inventory space, can be done in any gear, and drop marks of grace, which are crucial for purchasing the graceful outfit (260 marks for the full set).

Best Rooftop Courses

Course	Level Requirement	XP/Hour	Marks of Grace/Hour	Notes
Varrock	30	13,200	8-10	Good for early marks; use stamina potions.
Canifis	40	14,000-19,000	10-12	Best for marks of grace until level 60.
Seers’ Village	60	45,000	6-8	Boosted XP with Kandarin Hard Diary.

Optimizing Rooftop Training

• Collect Marks of Grace: Prioritize Canifis for faster graceful outfit acquisition. Each mark is worth ~14,190 GP via amylase crystals.
• Multi-Skill: Train Magic by casting High Alchemy or Fletching by adding feathers to dart tips between obstacles. This doesn’t reduce Agility XP rates.
• Stamina Potions: Craft via Herblore (amylase crystals from marks + limpwurt roots) to maintain run energy.
• Achievement Diaries: Complete Kandarin Hard Diary for a 10% XP boost at Seers’ Village.

Stay at Canifis until level 60 to farm marks, then switch to Seers’ Village for higher XP rates. If you need gold, consider the Agility Pyramid (level 30+, 10,000 GP per artefact) but train to at least 60 Agility first to reduce failure rates.

High-Level Agility Training (Levels 72-99)

From level 72, the Hallowed Sepulchre becomes the fastest Agility training method, offering up to 70,000 XP/hour. However, it’s challenging and requires completion of the quest Sins of the Father. Ultimate Ironmen may struggle with inventory management here, but the ring of endurance (from Grand Hallowed Coffin) is a game-changer for run energy.

Hallowed Sepulchre Overview

Located in Darkmeyer, the Hallowed Sepulchre is a minigame with five floors of obstacles, traps, and coffins. Each floor requires a higher Agility level (52, 62, 72, 82, 92), but floors 3-5 (level 72+) yield the best XP. Expect 50,000-70,000 XP/hour depending on skill and focus.

Alternative: Prifddinas Agility Course

If you’ve completed Song of the Elves, the Prifddinas Agility Course (level 75+) is less click-intensive, offering 59,000-66,000 XP/hour and ~50 crystal shards per hour. It’s a good option if Hallowed Sepulchre feels too intense.

Tips for High-Level Training

• Practice Hallowed Sepulchre: Start at lower floors to master mechanics before tackling floors 3-5.
• Loot Coffins: Prioritize the Grand Hallowed Coffin for the ring of endurance, which boosts stamina potion effects.
• Use Summer Pies: Boost Agility by +5 to access higher floors early (e.g., floor 4 at 77).
• Minimize Weight: Wear the graceful outfit and keep inventory light for better obstacle success.

Passive Agility Training with Barbarian Fishing

For Ironmen aiming for 99 Fishing, Barbarian Fishing (level 15 Agility minimum) is a fantastic way to gain passive Agility XP. For every 100,000 Fishing XP, you gain ~9,000 Agility XP. Training Fishing to 99 via Barbarian Fishing can get you to at least 74 Agility, saving ~24 hours of dedicated Agility training.

How to Start Barbarian Fishing

• Requirements: 48 Fishing, 15 Agility, 35 Strength.
• Location: Otto’s Grotto, near Baxtorian Falls.
• Equipment: Barbarian rod (from Otto) and feathers (from fishing shops or birdhouse runs).

Benefits for Ironmen

• Multi-Skill XP: Gains Fishing, Agility, and Strength XP simultaneously.
• Resources: Fish for food and fish offcuts for bait, reducing costs.
• AFK-Friendly: Less click-intensive than rooftop courses, ideal for long sessions.

If you plan to max Fishing, start Barbarian Fishing as early as possible to hit 74 Agility, then switch to Seers’ Village or Hallowed Sepulchre for the remaining levels.

Tips to Stay Motivated During the Agility Grind

Agility is notoriously tedious due to its repetitive nature and slow XP rates. Here are strategies to keep you engaged:

Make It Fun

• Multitask: Watch a show, listen to a podcast, or chat with friends while training on rooftop courses.
• Race Others: Compete with nearby players to complete laps faster, adding a competitive edge.
• Use Runelite: The laps-per-hour counter helps track progress and optimize clicks.

Break Up the Grind

• Mix with Other Skills: Alternate Agility with Barbarian Fishing or questing to avoid burnout.
• Short Sessions: Treat Agility like birdhouse runs—do a few laps when logging in/out.
• Set Milestones: Aim for key levels (e.g., 60 for Seers’, 72 for Hallowed Sepulchre) or full graceful outfit.

Training Agility as an Ironman in OSRS is a long but rewarding journey. By leveraging quests, rooftop courses, Barbarian Fishing, and high-level methods like Hallowed Sepulchre, you can reach 99 efficiently while gathering essential resources. Prioritize the graceful outfit, multi-skill where possible, and keep your weight low to maximize XP rates. With persistence, you’ll unlock the full potential of Agility, making your Ironman experience smoother and more enjoyable.
