Agility

Agility is a pay-to-play skill which gives access to various shortcuts around RuneScape. A higher Agility level allows the player's energy to recharge quicker. More shortcuts become accessible as one's Agility level increases. Agility was released on 12 December 2002.

Formerly, Members that entered a non-members' world would still receive the increased speed of run restoration as they would in a members world, but this is no longer the case as per the update of 9 June 2009. This update gave players an additional option to "rest" which restored the player's run energy much faster, as well as the addition of musicians, which allowed even faster restoration of run energy.

Furthermore, walking or standing still restored energy faster than before (as per the update), and energy potions would restore more run energy. However, this update also caused Agility to offer no extra benefits on Free-to-play worlds.

Skill Benefits
As of the 19 January 2010 update, Fishing, Hunter, and Thieving received agility-related updates and bonuses.

Fishing
A high agility level gives a small chance to catch two Tunas, Swordfish, or Sharks instead of one when Fishing. There’s no additional experience when this occurs. To catch two; Tuna requires level 35, Swordfish require 50 and Sharks require 76. It is currently unknown if the fishing level difficulty of the fish affects the chance of catching two at once.

Thieving
A high agility level gives a chance to pickpocketing double, triple, or even quadruple the usual amount of loot when Thieving. There’s no additional experience when this occurs.
 * the formula is = agility level equal to the thieving level required to pickpocket the npc, in addition to, ten more thieving levels than the required to pickpocket the npc. 
 * for the 3x the loot, one must add 10 levels to agility and thieving in the formula above.
 * for the 4x the loot, one must add 20 levels to agility and thieving in the formula above.

Hunter
Players with 'exceptionally' high agility and Hunter levels (75+ agility and 80+ hunter for the Ruby butterfly, 80+ agility and 85+ hunter for the Sapphire butterfly, 85+ agility and 90+ hunter for the Snowy Knight butterfly and 90+ agility and 95+ hunter for the Black Warlock butterfly) can catch butterflies without using Butterfly nets. They catch butterflies in the palm of their hands before releasing them. Catching butterflies this way results in 'a large dose' of hunter experience and a little extra agility experience too.

Temporary boosts



 * An Agility potion will boost Agility by 3. You can make these using the Herblore skill.
 * A Summer pie may boost Agility by 5. They sometimes affect other stats instead.
 * A yellow Spicy stew will boost or lower Agility by up to 6.
 * A Spirit Terrorbird's special can boost agility by 2 levels.
 * An Abyssal lurker's special will boost agility by 4 levels.
 * Operating or equipping the Agility cape will boost Agility by 1 level for approximately 1 minute.

Trivia

 * Each Agility level seems to reduce the time required to regenerate energy back to 100% by 1 second. (A player with 70 Agility will fully regenerate their run energy back to 100% after about 1 minute, 47 seconds. Compare this to a player with 90 Agility, who can regenerate from zero to 100% of their energy in 1 minute, 27 seconds.)
 * When you gain Agility experience through Tears of Guthix, you get the message, "You feel very nimble."
 * If you try to access game popup interfaces (skill, music or graphics for instance) while in the middle of one of many of the agility obstacles animations, you will get the message "Please close the interface you have open before setting your graphics/audio options."
 * You have the same chance of failing an obstacle with -10 kg weight as you have with 0 kg weight.
 * As of 13 July 2010, there are 7 people who have 200,000,000 experience in agility.
 * It is unknown why this is, but on many courses if you try to rest while doing an obstacle, like the log at the gnome course, the text will say "you can not rest in that form", even though you are still a human.
 * The Agility skillcape emote is the only emote that can't be viewed fully in standard screen mode. You must alter the view to be able to see the entire emote. This glitch has not yet been fixed.
