Brimhaven Agility Guide

[Triquos]

The Brimhaven Agility Arena is located just a little east of the ardougne boat on Brimhaven, in a little hut:

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to bring:

 

 

 

26 cakes OR 26 lobs OR baskets of strawberries - thank you vlad for this suggestion :P

 

 

 

"Baskets of strawberries!

 

 

 

Each basket holds 5 strawberries, each strawberry heals 7 hp so a basket heals 35.

 

 

 

Just eat a strawberry when your health falls around the 10 mark and you can stay in there for ages. Remember to leave 1 space empty to take a strawberry out of the basket."

 

 

 

10gp for Shilo Village banking (closest)

 

200 gp for entrance

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Alternatively swap 5 or 6 lobs with agility pots to get ur agility level back up if u get hit from darts)

 

 

 

What to Wear:

 

 

 

Boots of lightness (from Temple of Ikov quest, it makes the weight u carry about 4 to 5kg less)

 

 

 

NEVER use sharks, this will give u a lot more hp and make u get hit even more, it also wastes money and weighs u down even more.

 

 

 

The minimum agility level is 1, however at 1 you can only do a few obstacles, to do ALL the obstacles requires 40 agility and is highly suggest :P here is a guide of what you should train agility from.

 

 

 

Level 1 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 40 Gnome Stronghold (You can start brimhaven agility now)

 

 

 

Level 40 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 52 Barbarian Outpost

 

 

 

Level 52 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 60 Wilderness Course OR Ape Atoll (fast and 7 exp better than wildy course, and itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not risky to train :P ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ you need to complete Monkey Madness quest to be able to get to use the course though)

 

 

 

Level 60+ Brimhaven Agility Course (at 1k tickets itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s 320k agility exp, wilderness becomes annoying because I personally kept getting pked by people with ddsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s that only killed me for food to keep going on the course, so I went at night time till I was 60 agility, then I went to Brimhaven for the good exp)

 

 

 

Alternatively you can go to the agility pyramid at level 30 (It would be hard though) but at 75 agility I stopped failing the obstacles and all I had to do was go through the obstacles to the top and receive the exp, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s great exp, but wen you fail an obstacle you fall down to the next level of the pyramid, so you would be struggling if youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re low level agility, I always use Brimhaven Agility Arena though because thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s people, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s nice experience, and itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a lot more fun!

Here are the obstacles:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to get tickets: When you first enter the arena youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll notice at the top right of your screen 2 boxes, the bottom box will be red (shown below in the picture) this means you cannot receive tickets yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you tag the pillar with the yellow arrow above it the signal will turn green, indicating you can now receive tickets from here on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you happen to miss the next ticket, the symbol will go back to red, which means youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll have to tag the next pillar to get it back to green, and then you can receive tickets again etc.

 

 

 

Your tickets will get you rewards which you can trade with Pirate Jacky the Fruity (shown to the right of the picture below) just above the arena where you pay CapÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢n Izzy No-Beard 200gp to enter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aim of the game: Here, you race against the clock making your way to the flashing arrow above the particular pillar to receive a ticket. The flashing arrow changes to a different pillar every minute, sometimes you may get lucky and the next pillar might only be 1 obstacle away, it happens :P always note in your head the seconds itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s taking you, if you keep failing an obstacle and you know youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re not going to make it, and say youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re failing darts to get through, donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t bother, otherwise youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll lower your agility level a lot and itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll make things harder, I tend to go around the darts, but if you have to go through them in order to make the pillar in time, you have to.

 

 

 

Note: The pillars are RANDOM, so it's best to go the towers near the centre of the arena so that there's a better chance that you won't miss the next ticket - thanx guys, I forgot about adding this lol

 

 

 

Keep your hitpoints 20 and below, that way you wonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get hit as much damage, and you will be able to stay for much longer (once made 300 or so tickets in 1 trip)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obstacles to note:

 

 

 

The darts lower your agility level by 1 or 2 levels (itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s random) so itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s best to go around them, but if you have to go through them, you have to go through them :S

 

 

 

The blade is usually are a pain too, time it right, and you'll always make it across :P make sure youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re pretty far away from the blade, then about 1 second after it goes down, click on the other side of the spinning blade (onto the next platform) so that by the time you get there, the spinning blade is up, which automatically stops you, then as soon as it goes back down, your character runs past the blade untouched.

 

 

 

The planks are annoying IF youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re late to the pillar, when the flashing arrow changes to the next pillar, the planks are automatically changed, so if you happen to click on the right plank (the one without all the holes which make you fail it) when the arrow switches it could possibly change, so youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll go to the correct one, but then it changes and you fail it, so beware of that when you know youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re going to be late to the next pillar and you have to use the planks.

 

 

 

The spinning blades are a pain, I still get 0wned a lot from them, thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s nothing you can do about it until your a higher agility level :S

 

 

 

Handholds are also a pain, occasionally on the 2nd handhold youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll fail, and it takes a while to get back up, the handholds are one of the longer obstacles to get pass, the darts probably come in 1st in the time department (because of the little movie of you dodging the darts ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ matrix style) so I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t like using them, but if it means you have to go through either handholds or darts in order to get ur tix, u have to.

 

 

 

For food, you could also use summer pies (Made with high level cooking) to temporarily increase your agility level by 5, or agility potions (made with the toadflax herb) which temporarily increases your agility level by 3. The pies are two bites, which heal 11 each, so they're almost like lobsters, so it's perfectly fine to use.

 

 

 

For best results, go to a less crowded world (World 2 is always laggy) and use low detail, that way it makes the course easier to do, as you're not distracted by all the other things around you, like the lava below, and it makes the yellow arrow more visual to the eye. Also, it is easier to have ur view angle down high when you're ready to run off to your first tower, that way you can click in every direction, once you know where you're going, you should then go down to low angle to make things easier, as shown below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, it doesn't matter if you're first or last, as long as you get the tix, it's all that matters :)

 

 

 

P.S. Tix = Tickets :P it's an agility term lol

 

 

 

Why I train agility (level 81 agility now):

 

 

 

Ok, one day when I was around 83 combat, I went to the wildy course at 52 agility and started training, about half way through a pker came with a dragon dagger super poisoned (dds) and asked if I had any food. I said "yep, I have cakes" (Would of given them to him, all he had to do was ask) but instead he used all 4 dds specs on me, luckily not poisoning me, but got me down to around 10hp, so I frantically ran around trying to avoid him. I jumped across the rope swing, he ran around, nearly getting me, so I quickly ran over the lava pool, but oh noo, he was there waiting for me! I got over and he did 1 more spec, so I ate fast and ran over the log and ran to the wall and climbed up the slippery slope, by then he was just going across the log, and sure enough 10 seconds had passed and I was able to log out successfully. The funny thing is, the world I went into afterwards, was filled with about 3 level 120's+ I thought for sure I was doomed, however a guy named Cyrano74 gave me about 6 swordies of his to me telling me to keep it up :P I never knew he was ranked number 5th overall in the whole of runescape until a few weeks ago when I went onto the hiscores and there was his name right in front of me.

 

 

 

Ever since i've been training agility along with combat (now level 122 - yes i've caught up :P) and ever since I was able to go through to the blue dragons in taverly i've always admired the skill, and even more so now that I can go to the black dragons in taverly using the [bleep]ed jump shortcut, and one day I hope to get rank 10 in agility.

 

 

 

It's cool to know that even the most famous people in runescape still are nice even if they're begged to death by newbies in their lifetime lol - ty Cyrano74 for giving me those swordies, they've gone a long way :)

 

 

 

Well there's my story of how I came to like Agility, here's some of the best benefits of Agility:

 

 

 

-You get your energy up A LOT faster

 

 

 

At:

 

 

 

70 - You can use the Pipe Squeeze in Taverly Dungeon just by the entrance to go through to the blue dragons! saves about 3 minutes and that is a lot of time when you combine it, it's great for blue dragon slayer tasks

 

 

 

71 - You can climb the [bleep]ed Chain Climb from level 2 to level 3 of the Canafis Slayer Tower, which saves you walking through the abberant specters and gargoyles.

 

 

 

80 - At 80 you can jump over the [bleep]ed Blades Jump in Taverly Dungeon just about 10 squares north, here you can go immediately into the poison spiders den, which you can then run into the black demon pit, the hellhounds and the black dragons for faster slayer tasks.

 

 

 

81 - At 81 you can jump over the [bleep]ed Blades Jump in the Slayer Dungeon in Relleka, from the entrance, go west and you can jump across the obstacle straight into the pyrefiends room, saves about 2 minutes

[Triquos]

sorry it's quite long and takes a while to read :I I'm a really detailed guy lol I think it's for the best anyway :) happy Brimhaving! \

[NeCroLoGiCa]

Cool guide,

 

think imma go train my agiliy now :D

[Dexek]

I started the Brimhaven course at level 7 agility.. it was hard until about 20. I don't see how 40 could be hard. Although, nice guide.. long but nice. :)

[Triquos]

ty :P and ty pure, i didn't actually know u could do any obstacles in the agility arena at 1 agility :o i looked on tipit's skill guide on agility and it had sum u could do at 1 agility, sum at 20, and the others at 40. i think i got the 40 requirement from that but got it muddled up, so 40 agility is the minimum to do the WHOLE course.

[anubis_451]

well i see lvl 1 agility new members trainin on the low walls until 20... a lil boring but i guess it works

[fat_hobbit22]

well i see lvl 1 agility new members trainin on the low walls until 20... a lil boring but i guess it works

 

 

 

 

 

aaa u reminded minded me of the good old days :3>

[Troddles]

I'd rather use the TzHaar bank, it's free. :D

 

Nice guide anyway.

[wurmskin]

Nice guide you got me up 10 Agility levels : .

 

 

 

You've basically covered absolutely EVERYTHING about the Brimhaven Agility Arena, Thanks a bunch :D

[Zodiak12]

Your right, it is very long and detailed but it helps a lot more like that :D

 

Got an urge to train there now.

 

I use cakes, heal less per bite so easier to keep health down if you do it that way and they are light.

[Triquos]

ty :) yes cakes r good, although if u keep failing say, the spinning blades and have to keep eating the cakes bite by bite, ull prolly end up failing it, also tunas are very good.

 

 

 

update: I edited the whole guide, making adjustments to what I said and i've made the spelling better :P instead of "u" it's "you" lol i might add a little bit in the end of the guide why agility is so awesome :P

 

 

 

Wow nice job wurmskin! I hope others find this guide usefull, I tried getting every single scrap of how I do the course into here to make it so detailed that everyone knows exactly how to train it right, a perfect example of this is wurmskin :P

 

 

 

Happy Brimhaving \

[BBC3]

yup cyrano is nice, i was rune mining long ago and i when i was switching worlds i saw him mining the two rune ores, i stood next to him and let him mine them and then i saw him logout, i logged in the next day and he pm'ed me and asked me to come to edge and he gave me a rune ore, i was surprised he remembered that

[vlad_the_old]

Baskets of strawberries!

 

 

 

Each basket holds 5 strawberries, each strawberry heals 7 hp so a basket heals 35.

 

 

 

Just eat a strawberry when your health falls around the 10 mark and you can stay in there for ages. Remember to leave 1 space empty to take a strawberry out of the basket.

[Triquos]

ty for the tip, i'll add it in the guide now :P

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

[demonicpain]

Hey, seeing as you posted on mine I guess its fair to post on yours :P

 

 

 

And as I guessed, excellant guide! Never thought of using cakes :wall:

 

This has made me even more determined to get the last 100 tickets I need for 50 agility, so I can get the stethoscope, so I can get 53 thieving, so I can do desert treasure! You've startd off a chain reaction! :shock:

[Potter_Pkr]

Very nice guide, I'll be training at Brimhaven tomorrow trying to get 100 or so tickets. Hope to see you there.

[meb]

Very nice guide, but:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 52 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 60 Wilderness Course OR Ape Atoll (fast and 7 exp better than wildy course, and itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not risky to train :P ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ you need to complete Monkey Madness quest to be able to get to use the course though)

 

 

 

The failure rate for the MM course at level 52 is so high that you're better off doing the Gnome course. Wilderness course is better imo.

[Deiophobus]

very nice guide.

 

 

 

Is it really faster then the wilderness or monkey course, and do you think I should do it (57 agility).

 

 

 

 

 

Cool about cyrano, when I was a very low level, in like my first week of member ship I got poisoned, and he gave me an anti. I had no idea he was in the top 10 :XD:

[Triquos]

thanx guys :D i only got to brimhaven wen i have nothing else to do, or have spare time to get it up heh, i will get rank 10 in it one day, its my goal :)

 

 

 

ya wildy is great, and fast, however it's really risky, and u get a lot of pkers that kill u even if u have nothing on, ape atoll (i suggest 60 or more agility) makes it fun, its a bit slower, but it gives 7 exp more, and its not risky :P

 

 

 

to answer ur question deio, i suggest wildy IF there's no pkers, i reckon its fasta than ape atoll in my opinion, but if u dont like wildy, i suggest ape atoll a lot more

[APERSON]

Pretty informative. I too love the agility arena. I didn't notice if you did or not but if you didn't you should provide a link to Tip.It's Interactrive Agility Arena Map it can be fun to use when waiting between pillars or if you don't have the place memorized or are a lower lvl or like to keep track of your tickets and their worth.

 

 

 

[url=http://www.tip.it/runescape/agility_arena_int.htm]Tip.It's Interactrive Agility Arena Map[/url]

 

 

 

I can't get it to work from the forums but if you go to the Special Maps page and click on the link there, the map opens in it's own, resized window. :thumbsup:

[Triquos]

yea i wanted that to be in it but im not good at any of that linking stuff :( only know the basics lol - imageshack XD copy - paste rofl \

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

 

 

 

by the way - everyone might wanna check this guide out since in the september behind the scenes it speaks of Witchaven, you need an agility requirement to enter it, and i'm guessing it'll be atleast 60, since the majority of people have 56 for regicide

 

 

 

so spread t3h w0rd XD

 

 

 

p.s. today i just did mourning ends part 2 - took me like 10 hours!!! omgz0rz it was hard.. i kept missing where mirrors had to go, but i ended up completing it, after thinking, i ain't gonna give up, even though the shadows (level 73) kept hitting up to 13s on me (used guthans but i still got 0wnd, at one point i got down to 41hp - scary huh, and i'm lev121, so it shows how hard it is)

 

 

 

apart from the mirrors and crystal thing it's pretty easy, especially with my agility level even though i wasted all my run trying to find out where to put them lol! :wall:

[Triquos]

omg i just got d chain from dusties !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

haven't had a dragon drop all my life, here's how i got it

 

 

 

ok, so this morning was pretty depressing.. so i continue to do mourning ends part 2 quest, i finally finish it, with rebelratld's help wen he lent me his death tally to complete the last past, in return i gave him sum agility pots and other stuff as a thanx for the lend.

 

 

 

i go to abby demons not expecting any whip drops (haven't had one for 1.2k kills now) i get 3 rune chains and a rune med that trip.. not satisfied.. i end my slayer task and go to the slayer master in shilo.. 186 dust devils.. great.. another depressing task that'll only remind me of wen i killed 9.2k dusties to try get chain.

 

 

 

so anyways i decide to go for the sake of it.. i kill em using melee, then i finish nearly all my sharks within about 10 minutes, so i decide to start ranging, so i switch to my range gear and start ranging the dusties near the fire giants spot.. the bow went from 4/10 to about 2/10 and i feel like giving up the task and finishing it later.. i think.. wot the heck.. 2 more kills and that's it.

 

 

 

i start ranging, as the 1st one drops i think.. pfft.. just another dead drop.. -.- i range the 2nd one.. as it comes to it's final hp i think, well that was boring.. but then as it disappears.. i see a large red item.. no.. it wasn't another red dragon vambrace.. but.. *right clicks* - *take dragon chainbody* omg!!!!!!! my hands started shaking and i quickly took a pic and picked it up, the guy a few spaces away wondered why i started screaming *omg* for about 2 minutes, i said i just got a dragon chainbody!!! he didn't believe me, i wear it and he believed me right then.. i quickly pm all of my friends wot just happened:

 

 

 

to this day i always thought i was unlucky.. but with my first dragon drop i know there's hope for me now, and to think.. 4 years on i gave up all hope of dragon drops.. i'm still shaking i just can't believe wot just happened, i would of taped it if i knew wot was gonna happen, but considering i never had a dragon drop before i didn't bother to think lol anyway here's the pic XD

 

 

 

[SanFranciscoGiants]

Nice guide and gratz on the chain

[Triquos]

ty :D i'm keeping the chain 4eva if any1 wants to know lol

 

 

 

now wenever sum1 asks me if i ever got a dragon drop or if my dragon chain was from drop i can say yes

[Viktorkrum77]

Do you think a lvl 3 skill pure could do this course? I've done it on my main, but I'm curious if my new skill pure (since I quit my main) could do it.
