How to Use This Calculator

Getting started is straightforward. First, enter your current agility level or the exact experience you have. If you know your precise XP, using that will give you the most accurate results.

Next, set your target level. Most players aim for 70 or 99, but you can set any goal you want. The calculator works for any level range.

Choose your training course from the dropdown menu. Each course has different requirements and rewards. Rooftop courses give marks of grace, while alternatives like Hallowed Sepulchre offer faster XP at higher levels.

Pro Tip: Seers’ Village becomes significantly better after completing the Kandarin Hard Diary, which unlocks a teleport that cuts lap time dramatically. The calculator assumes you have this unlocked for Seers’.

Once you hit calculate, you’ll see your complete training plan. This includes total XP needed, number of laps required, estimated time to completion, and expected marks of grace.

Course Recommendations by Level

Levels 1-10: Gnome Stronghold Lv 1
Your only option at the start. It’s quick and located in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. You’ll need about 1,100 laps to reach level 10 from level 1.
Levels 10-30: Draynor Village Lv 10
Your first rooftop course and the start of marks of grace collection. Located right near Draynor bank. At level 20, you can switch to Al Kharid for slightly better XP.
Levels 30-40: Varrock Lv 30
Start at Varrock’s south gate. This course offers decent XP and marks. The obstacles are straightforward, making it a relaxing grind.
Levels 40-60: Canifis Lv 40
The best course for collecting marks of grace. Despite lower XP rates, many players stay here until 60 or even longer to gather marks for the graceful outfit and amylase crystals.
Levels 50-60: Falador Lv 50
If you already have graceful, Falador offers better XP than Canifis. However, the longer lap time means fewer marks per hour.
Levels 60-90: Seers’ Village Lv 60
With the Kandarin Hard Diary teleport, this becomes the go-to course for most of your journey. Excellent XP rates and short lap times. Many players train here all the way to 90.
Levels 90-99: Ardougne Lv 90
The best rooftop course in the game. Highest XP per hour among rooftops and excellent marks of grace rates. The finish line for most agility grinders.
Alternative: Hallowed Sepulchre Lv 82
The fastest agility XP in the game if you’re skilled. Offers unique rewards including the hallowed ring and dark dye. More engaging than rooftops but requires focus and practice.
Alternative: Prifddinas Lv 75
Requires Song of the Elves quest completion. Excellent XP rates and the portals add variety. Using the portals correctly can push this to the highest rooftop XP rate.

Marks of Grace Explained

Marks of grace are special tokens that spawn randomly on rooftop agility courses. You’ll see them as small purple icons that appear on obstacles as you complete laps.

Your chances of receiving a mark depend on your level relative to the course. When you’re within the optimal level range for a course, marks appear more frequently. Once you’re 20 levels above the course requirement, the spawn rate drops significantly.

Heads up: You can only pick up a mark if you finish the lap and don’t log out. If you leave marks on the ground too long, they’ll despawn after 10 minutes.

Each mark can be traded at the Rooftop Agility Exchange for amylase crystals or used to purchase pieces of the graceful outfit. The full graceful set costs 260 marks and is essential for any serious agility training.

Best Courses for Marks

Canifis stands out as the mark farming champion. Between levels 40-60, you’ll average about 20 marks per hour. After level 60, this drops to around 4 per hour.

If you need marks quickly, stay at Canifis until you have what you need, then move to higher-level courses for better XP. Ardougne at level 90+ also gives excellent marks while maintaining top-tier XP rates.

Maximizing Your XP Rates

Want to squeeze every bit of efficiency from your training? Here’s what actually makes a difference.

Stamina potions are non-negotiable for serious training. Running out of energy mid-lap wastes time and lowers your XP per hour. One dose typically lasts 2-5 minutes depending on the course.

Wearing the full graceful outfit reduces your weight to the minimum, letting your energy recharge faster. This is particularly important on longer courses like Ardougne and Prifddinas.

Quick Tip: Summer pies boost your agility by 5 levels temporarily, letting you access courses earlier and reducing failure rates on obstacles. They’re worth using if you’re just below a level requirement.

Your actual level affects failure rates on obstacles. As you level up within a course’s range, you’ll fail less often, gradually improving your XP rate without changing courses.

For Seers’ Village specifically, the Kandarin Hard Diary teleport is absolutely crucial. Without it, you’re getting roughly 35k XP per hour. With it, that jumps to nearly 47k. It’s one of the biggest single upgrades you can get.

Training Alternatives

Rooftop courses aren’t your only option. Several alternatives exist that offer different benefits or playstyles.

Hallowed Sepulchre

This minigame requires level 82 to access all floors and demands your full attention. You’ll need to memorize arrow patterns, trap timings, and optimal paths. The learning curve is steep, but experienced players can exceed 70k XP per hour.

Beyond XP, the Sepulchre drops the hallowed ring, dark graceful dye, and hallowed tokens for unique rewards. It’s the most engaging agility content in the game.

Brimhaven Agility Arena

A ticket-based minigame requiring level 40. You navigate obstacles to tag pillars within a time limit. It’s more varied than rooftops but offers lower XP rates around 28k per hour.

The main draw is agility arena tickets, which unlock the pirate’s hook and other cosmetic rewards. Not recommended if XP is your priority.

Wilderness Agility Course

Located in level 52-56 Wilderness, this course offers excellent XP at 571.5 per lap. However, the constant PK risk makes it impractical for most players. You’ll need to stay alert and be ready to escape at any moment.

Barbarian Fishing

Passive agility XP while fishing. You’ll gain small amounts of agility XP alongside fishing and strength XP. The rates are low, but it’s completely AFK and requires no input beyond clicking new fishing spots.

Common Questions

What’s the fastest way to 99 agility?
Hallowed Sepulchre from 82-99 offers the fastest XP rates at ~70k per hour for skilled players. Before 82, train at Seers’ Village with the diary teleport (60-82) and follow optimal courses before that. The entire journey takes roughly 180-200 hours depending on your efficiency.
Should I stay at Canifis for graceful?
Yes, if you don’t have graceful yet. You’ll collect marks much faster at Canifis between levels 40-60. Expect to gather the full 260 marks in about 13-15 hours. After that, move to higher-level courses for better XP.
When do I stop failing obstacles?
Each obstacle has a level where failures become impossible. For example, you stop failing Seers’ Village obstacles at level 79. However, failure rates decrease gradually as you level, so you’ll notice improvement before reaching zero-fail levels.
Are stamina potions worth the cost?
Absolutely. The XP increase from maintaining full run energy far outweighs the potion cost. One stamina potion typically adds 500-1,000 extra XP depending on the course, while costing only a few thousand GP.
Can I train agility AFK?
Not really. Rooftop courses require constant clicking to progress. However, barbarian fishing offers passive agility XP while being mostly AFK. The XP rates are significantly lower, but it’s an option if you want zero-attention training.
What do I do with extra marks of grace?
After purchasing graceful, trade marks for amylase crystals at the Rooftop Agility Exchange. Crystals sell for good profit and are used to make stamina potions. Each mark trades for 10 crystals.
Is the Ardougne course worth it at 90?
Definitely. It offers the best rooftop XP at ~62k per hour with excellent marks of grace rates. The course is well-designed with short, fast laps that make the final push to 99 more bearable.
Should I use Summer pies to access courses early?
Only for Seers’ Village at level 60. The diary teleport makes such a massive difference that boosting from 58-59 to access it early is worthwhile. For other courses, just wait until you reach the proper level naturally.
How long does it take to get 99 agility?
Expect 180-220 hours depending on your methods. Using optimal courses and maintaining focus brings you closer to 180 hours. More casual training or suboptimal courses pushes it toward 220 hours. It’s one of the slower 99s in the game.
What quests give agility XP?
Several quests reward agility XP. The Grand Tree gives 18,400 XP (takes you to level 32 from level 1), Recruitment Drive gives 1,000, The Depths of Despair gives 1,500, and Cold War gives 5,000. Completing these early skips some of the slowest training.

Why Agility Matters

Agility is often called one of the most tedious skills, but it provides tangible benefits throughout your account progression.

Higher agility means your run energy depletes slower and regenerates faster. This impacts everything from boss encounters to simple tasks like banking. You’ll spend less time walking and more time actually playing.

Many shortcuts require specific agility levels. These save massive amounts of time in areas you’ll visit repeatedly. The Ardougne wall shortcut, Falador wall crack, and countless dungeon shortcuts all require agility levels to access.

Several diaries require high agility levels. The Western Provinces Elite Diary needs 85 agility, while Lumbridge Elite needs 70. These diary completions unlock powerful benefits worth the training investment.

Fun Fact: Level 99 agility gives you a run energy depletion rate roughly 4x better than level 1. Your character essentially becomes permanently faster at everything.

Advanced Training Strategies

Once you’ve mastered the basics, these strategies can optimize your training further.

Lap Time Optimization

Every second shaved off your lap time multiplies over thousands of laps. Learn the exact click patterns for each course. Many obstacles can be clicked early while your character is still moving, queuing the next action.

Camera positioning matters more than you’d think. Set your camera angle before starting each lap so you can see all upcoming obstacles without adjusting mid-lap. This removes dead time between clicks.

Marks of Grace Strategy

Marks spawn based on a chance per obstacle completed. Faster courses with more obstacles per lap have higher marks per hour, even if individual obstacles have lower spawn rates.

The game tracks marks independently for each course. If you’re grinding marks, stick to one course rather than switching between them frequently.

Sepulchre Tile Markers

If you’re serious about Sepulchre training, use RuneLite tile markers to highlight safe paths. This removes guesswork and lets you focus on timing rather than pathfinding.

Learn one floor at a time. Don’t attempt floor 5 until you can consistently complete floors 1-4 without taking damage. Each floor has unique mechanics that require practice.

Alching While Training

Some players alch items between obstacles to train magic simultaneously. This works best on courses with longer obstacle animations like Ardougne. You’ll lose some agility XP per hour but gain magic XP.

Honestly, the XP loss usually isn’t worth it unless you’re specifically working on magic levels and don’t mind slower agility gains.
