Agility
For information on training this skill, see Agility training.
Agility is a skill in RuneScape Classic. It was released on Thursday, 12 December 2002. Its main purpose is allowing the player to interact with various pieces of scenery for a number of different reasons- sometimes in order to simply to serve as a time saving shortcut or for skill based requirement needed to be met in order to progress into the game. This is introduced to the player via various means such as quests requiring the player to reach a certain Agility level or through restrictions to different areas, often in the form of environmental hazards and obstacles.
Out of all the skills, Agility is known for being one of the more time consuming skills that there is to gain experience points in.
Though there aren't many shortcuts, the few in the game can be extremely useful. By raising your Agility skill level, you can utilize them and travel to previously inaccessible areas which offer lucrative and exclusive spawns, monsters who drop unique loot, chests to thieve from, and better places to train combat or gather resources to gain experience points in other skills such as herblaw.
