Gnome Stronghold Agility Course



The Gnome Stronghold agility course (labelled Agility Training Area on the world map) is a low-level Agility training area and is the first place for members to train at level 1 Agility. It is located south-east of the Grand Tree in the Tree Gnome Stronghold, north-west of East Ardougne. There are many gnomes around the course that shout insults at you.

It has no requirements, and players cannot take damage here - therefore, food is not required. However when taking the advanced route, it is possible to fail the signpost run and take up to 6 damage. Players may benefit by using an energy potion or another similar item so they can recover their energy. Players gain 86.5 experience points for a complete circuit. This is the best place to train Agility until the player has access to better courses.

On 21st June 2009, the advanced route was added to the course.

The best way to get there, if the player has completed Tree Gnome Village, is to use the spirit tree teleports. Otherwise players can use a gnome glider (after The Grand Tree quest), or by walking north-west from East Ardougne.

Basic course
Completion bonus is 39 experience, which totals 86.5 experience per round. Players would need to complete the circuit 150,687 times to get from level 1 to level 99.

Advanced course
Level 85 Agility is a requirement for the following course. Boosts may be used, but if the player's level falls below 85 they will be unable to access the advanced course.

A 625 exp bonus is awarded for completing the entire course, a total of 745 exp is earned per lap. Players who complete 250 successful laps may acquire Agile legs from the Gnome trainers. To find out the number of successful laps completed, players must talk to a Gnome trainer about rewards. The average lap of the advanced course takes 50 seconds.

The only obstacle that can be failed on the advanced course is the signpost run. If failed, the player will still manage to pass the obstacle, but he will pause for a few seconds to gasp for breath and also take 6 damage (or less if the player has less HP remaining).

Trivia

 * There was an unnamed pipe in the course.
 * The first sentence of text on the sign translates to 'All with Equa!'
 * The extended agility course cannot be failed starting at Level 89 Agility.
