Even more Agility shortcuts

[wide quiver]

EDIT:
For a compilation of most shortcuts gathered in this thread -> #1217465514335404152 message

I was surprised that there weren't that many proposals for new shortcuts in the latest blog. But in the survey, they're asking us for further shortcut ideas. I thought it might be fun and perhaps even useful to have a thread for additional shortcut suggestions! Feel free to post your own 🙂

I'll start with a few!

1. A shortcut between Varrock Castle garden and the Varrock estate agent:

   For a quick snack from the White Fruit Tree to replenish some energy whenever nearby.

2. A shortcut between Digsite and Al-kharid desert:
   https://imgur.com/SJegnyB
   For quicker access to that beginner Hot&Cold Clue step, by utilizing the Sennisten teleport.

3. A shortcut through the fence of the cow pen north of Lumbridge:

   Another beginner Hot&Cold Clue step, this way would be helpful for both using the Champions Guild teleport or Draynor Manor teleport.

[wide quiver]

Remembered one more I saw somewhere a while ago that I liked

A shortcut across the mountains near Pollnivneach.
For quicker access to the smoke well dungeon from the house portal and northern carpet.

[young sonnet]

For #1 it’d also be ideal for the clue step there as well

[small comet]

I think there should be a couple of shortcuts around Lumbridge too. Like a 2 Agility shortcut to get you across that Lumbridge Swamp fence.

Would be nice to gain your first level and to actually unlock a shortcut.

[young sonnet]

There should be a shortcut for the Castle Drakan Master Clue Step

Maybe a ladder or another long rope

[steady radish]

West of Tree Gnome Stronghold, North of Draynor for me

Glad they said north of Shilo Village

Some great reddit posts on the subject too of course:
https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/wwumipvHvc

IMO "get to X clue step faster" is not a great reason for a step. But "cut through long wall or one entrance cube for a clue and random walking/quests" is

[zealous bough]

Shino was nice one

[tawny ether]

shortcut to nightmare???

[zealous bough]

Shortcut to death altar, way toooo far. Second worst is chaos altar, give another shortcut to chaos altar. To be honest, I like altar more than abyss rc.

If possible, fix true blood altar shortcut, somehow it only like 2 second different from abyss rc.

There is also issue for law rune. At least let us wear our lv 99 runecrafting cape. Or add a new shortcut near falador.

Please give some shortcut love to those altar. Altars should be better than abyss rc in my opinion.

Death altar, probably the worst altar ever in the game.

Also, add last destination to achievements diary and max cape if possible.

[fluid valley]

Jumping down the large guardian mines in GoTR rather than climbing down

Also navigating certain agility shortcuts a few ticks faster depending on level would be cool

[steady radish]

Are any shortcuts getting faster in this blog? Would be cool

[wide quiver]

yeah, hydra shortcut and draynor one from what I remember

[halcyon wagon]

I mentioned the pollnivneach shortcut in my feedback to the questionnaire this morning

but most importantly added a request for a better shortcut to the Viyeldi caves master clue step.

[wide quiver]

Another one I saw and just remembered - jumping between the 2 fishing guild docks for when the fishing spots move

[vernal heath]

I'd like a shortcut in meiyerditch on the east side wall infront of the laboratories entrance.
I timed it out a while ago and it would make gettin to the bloodvelds faster but still make the fairy ring the fastest way to the blood altar

Also there is a hole in the wall there so it just looks like a prime spot for a shortcut

[zealous bough]

Shortcut to death altar above the ground and shortcut to law altar. Even with level 99 you still can’t wear rc cape to get into the island. So frustrating that every time banking the cape when fill up essence. Give a shortcut nearby falador.

[astral root]

Maybe for Death Altar, after SotE, you can access the Temple of Light without a trinket and the little light beam is set to always allow entry.

Because having to turn and change the little laser is annoying if going that way. Even worse if you forget to change the direction back before you teleport.

And the Chaos Altar (Assuming you mean the RC one) is also pretty accessible via Ring of the Elements if you use the tunnel shortcut from What Lies Below

[zealous bough]

I did try both of them, way tooooo long.

[zealous bough]

I know abyss is close.

I like the altar to be honest. Shouldn’t everything go to abyss abyss abyss the fking abyss.

[cedar kernel]

next to Fairy Ring CJR for easier access to Falo

[astral root]

A log balance or stepping stone would be perfect for that.

[cedar kernel]

Some agility shortcuts to provide better alternatives to Barrows Teleport

high level shortcut from soul altar back to essence mine

[zealous bough]

i was looking at this too but

I don’t think it make much difference because you need to turn in dense first and go there

Unless you just do the first round.

I think we need true soul altar

[cedar kernel]

no, it's for going back down to mine afterward

same thing as the shortcut at blood altar

[zealous bough]

Oh this could be nice

[zealous bough]

May I have this agility for level 99 from second floor?

[wide quiver]

perhaps a bit too powerful, but then again perhaps very powerful shortcuts with high level reqs is something Agility could use

for Death Altar, perhaps a long rope shortcut from somewhere in/near Lletya directly to the bottom level of Underground Pass?

[spice anchor]

I wanna yeet myself from the top floor of myths guild to land on the wrath island

[prime ingot]

imo id be fine with this if they add 2 flying dragons in the sky

where you have to tank 1 dragonfire hit and 1 melee hit

[zealous bough]

Map doesn’t match in my opinion,

[zealous bough]

and add an elite diary requirement.

[steady radish]

Jagex just proposed getting rid of most shortcut diary requirements. Let's keep it that way please

[zealous bough]

Or add better shortcut to replace

[prime ingot]

99 agility would be good enough

honestly like 95 would be fine too

[wide quiver]

wished this was a thing the other day, which made me remember that I often wished that this was a thing as lower level account. either through river or the fence at Clocktower, to not have to run around the building

[steady radish]

You should just be able to walk around the Clock Tower / they should remove the fence. A shortcut would be a bit silly

[wild sonnet]

99 agility shortcut to nightmare from the entrance, but it takes 20 seconds to complete

[thorn cape]

Ngl a ton of shortcuts through meiyerditch that unlock after Sins of the Father would be so nice. Doesn't even have to be just agility shortcuts, being able to lock pick doors open as well would save dev time for the area

Make everyone do the ditch run a few times for the first quest there but add some better shortcuts as you progress

[astral root]

Just remove the fence.

[wide quiver]

shortcut next to the river here. ring of wealth -> Dondakan to reach the stonemason faster than running from Blast Furnace / minecarts

[wheat turtle]

Change the rock-climb that goes from the GWD area -> Wilderness

Currently, you can only go from the GWD area into the Wilderness, and not from the Wildy up into the safe area

I would increase the Agility level required to be somewhere between 70 and 89 (current highest wilderness-based agility obstacle)

The only use cases I can think of is someone being the victim of a fall-in on the Bounty Hunter worlds and they are running down from Chaos altar trying to reach the ditch. It would allow them to escape about 6 levels sooner.

This would probably only be used 5 times from now until the day RS shuts down forever... but it would still be more use than it gets now

Who the hell is teleporting to Trollheim/Ghommal's hilt, running around the mountain, and entering the wildy in one of the most dead spots it has?

[gloomy moat]

only one i want really

[severe hornet]

I'd like one near the bank of the hunter's guild down to the savannah. Honestly just more in zeah would be cool in general

[high prawn]

there is a straight up obviously missing shortcut here that seems to genuinely just be an oversight. There's a cave where I circled which connects the basement to the outside, but there's a pillar which you would need to jump across to go between the 2 areas

except there's no agility shortcut there to click so you could actually jump across

[small comet]

I'd like that too, but bear in mind that if this became a shortcut, you would need to either gate the shortcut or the cave entrance behind 46 Hunter to prevent unintended access to the guild.

[high prawn]

that's probably why there's no shortcut there

they remembered they would have to tie a hunter req to it somehow and either just didnt have the time or forgot to go back and figure it out

[astral root]

Or just add a door to that little shack with the staircase without any additional reqs.

[thorn cape]

It would be neat to get more shortcuts that use other skills as well

We have a few that use range

Maybe get some that use strength checks like the GWD boulder or thieving to sneak through guard towers we aren't supposed to be in

Maybe some thematic short range teleport agility shortcuts that rely on agility and RC or magic where instead of needing a crossbow and grapple you need to have law runes and a talisman on you?

Could make it like an old runic pillar or some other relic that will launch you a short distance, could add them as shortcuts around rune altars or other magic related areas

Could be a cool way of adding a shortcut to the death altar maybe? You use some sort of obelisk above ground that teleports you to a dangerous ledge in the underground pass near the back entrance?

Sorry if that was a little rambling, but limiting new shortcuts to the already existing grapple points and stepping stone design might be limiting

[astral root]

To add more. A fence squeeze shortcut to the belladonna patch at Draynor Manor, like they added back pre-EoC at some point.

[runic forge]

crossbow grapple shortcut to these so I can mini game teleport there

[thorn cape]

You know, it would be interesting to maybe get swimming shortcuts added?

Make it a combination of agility and sailing? It can have added mechanics where if you are above a certain weight threshold you have a chance of being washed away and drowning taking significant damage unless you have the diving suit helmet equipped

[astral root]

Stepping stones please.

[severe hornet]

I wouldn't mind a construction+agility shortcut where you build a catapult once and can fire yourself over a wall/etc with agility afterwards

Maybe here

[rancid panther]

Or just let you use the rope ladder from Biohazard again

[steady radish]

I'm gonna plug my "out there" agility shortcuts in this thread:
https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1231779504570236969

With sorta the pretext of "if you add X many agility shortcuts, what determines where there is or isn't one and what level it is? Can we make shortcuts more generic?"
"Just let us jump over all fences"

[wet nebula]

How about a shortcut between the Coliseum bird transport spot and the bank. The line of trees in the middle of the street REALLY looks like you should be able to run through it anyway, but at a minimum you should be able to agility slide through the middle.

[ancient flame]

The walk of shame shall remain! 😂

I always kinda thought these boxes here should be a shortcut

[flat cairn]

For those of us who like to mine Daeyalt essence, there's an opportunity for a shortcut between the darkmeyer teleport and the daeyalt mine. At the moment you have to run clockwise all the way around the town. A nice unlock to just run east would make that run to the content easier. It doesn't increase gp or exp / hour, so balance wouldn't be a problem.

[thorn cape]

I mean all of Darkmeyer needs a shortcut overhaul

Meyerditch needs some shortcut unlocks

Lock it behind sins of the father if that's what people agree on but I think the quest before that is a good requirement for getting some better routing through the slums

[vernal heath]

Its small but Id like a shortcut right here for those two hard clue steps

Maybe one on the fence north of there too as a slightly less anyoing way to barrows before the tp 🤷‍♂️

[zealous bough]

Need a death altar shortcut..

[astral root]

Maybe after SotE, you can freely enter the Temple of Light without the crystal, and have the laser beams in the room allow for the passage to be always open on all sides

[thorn cape]

Naw, add the resident evil laser grid room that cuts people in half

Make that an agility shortcut into the death altar

Either you make it past or take like 90% max hp damage

https://tenor.com/view/ponste3-gif-19672917

[ancient flame]

Yaas add "go big or go home" shortcuts

A shortcut straight off the roof of lummy castle with the same 90% damage

[wet nebula]

I'd like to see one of these in the wildy fence too. You're getting chased by a pker? Take your chances sliding through the barbed wire. If you make it and they follow you, you might end up pking them instead!

[thorn cape]

Ik they made the joke/reference to the Assassin's Creed hay bales on one of the rooftop courses but that would make for another funny High Risk High Reward shortcut

jump from a stupid height and either land it or eat shit

literally

need to have it be in like a cow pen or something

maybe somewhere in varlamore?

massive damage and an insult to boot

[modest trellis]

Would be good for star mining too

[sick depot]

You can go over the corner in one part of a quest, would be nice to still have it after completion

[wet nebula]

Yeah... all over Arceus there are breaks in fences that sure look like agility shortcuts. Might as well have them work.

[eternal warren]

Bump because there are sooooo many good shortcut ideas in this thread. Need Jagex to see

[thorn cape]

Yo where's the agility shortcut that lets me go from 82 to 95?

Starting to go numb looking at sepulchre

[eternal warren]

Yeah we need more meaningful high level shortcuts

[thorn cape]

I mean I'm being sarcastic, the XP per click for high level agility just feels so low but that's a discussion for a different thread

Still think it would be neat to get more variety in shortcuts or shortcuts that need other skills to work instead of just ranged with the grappling hook

Like a shortcut that needs thieving because we have to climb a wall and unlock a window

Or a shortcut that requires magic so we can telegrab a platform to land on or to perform a short range teleport from some sort of charged paired obelisks

An agility shortcut that requires prayer could be cool, like you can make it past if you have the correct god aligned equipment or take a drain to your prayer points

Could be interesting for the wilderness

[runic forge]

this shortcut should work both ways, it currently doesn't work from yanille to outside of the walls

[knotty basin]

isn't it a grapple?

it's useless either way

[runic forge]

there's a hard clue dig spot slightly south, havent timed if running through the door is faster

[knotty basin]

yeah it's more that having to use a grapple makes it a gigantic pain to use even for clues

[eternal warren]

Grapples should really stay in place after first use

[halcyon wagon]

how nice would that be at arma

[gaunt lark]

Should be a thing with a long rope and a grapple to stay permanently

As with all grapple shortcuts

[ancient flame]

Imagine if +10 levels above the req wouldhd auto navigate through it too tho

[eternal warren]

Right, the rope at Sara stays, why not the grapple at Arma?

[oblique ocean]

holy fuck

truly goated suggestion

[wide quiver]

Hunter guild, for quickly reaching moonlight moths & antelopes

[sudden tide]

A high level shortcut between the house on the hill and the northern island on Fossil Island would be great

[tidal flame]

Please we need this back, RIP to the old stone bridge that used to be there back in the 2010s

[wide quiver]

Varrock Sewers could have up to 3 tiers of shortcuts towards the Red Spider & Bryophyta area
https://i.imgur.com/ND4GMpI.png

And the Mole's Lair could use some to help with hunting the mole down down when at high Agility
https://i.imgur.com/pPd3Gg0.png

[stuck shuttle]

Pet hunters would love that at the giant mole.

[faint ermine]

always seemed odd there isn't one between tree gnome and eagles peak. Specially since the boat up at piscatoris literally says something like "Boat to Gnome Stronghold" and it leaves you on the other side of the river 😁

[steady radish]

If we ever get F2P agility Varrock sewer shortcuts would be peak

[somber loom]

Great idea

[thorn cape]

They will literally never do this

[rancid panther]

inb4 fail jump and land on duck

[faint ermine]

i think maybe you use the duck as a bouncy pad or something

jump on the duck

[thorn cape]

Naw, ducks bite the player instead of taking fall damage

[regal breach]

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1979496/10_years_of_agility_suggestions_visualized

Some of the best shortcut suggestions under this Reddit post (~3 of them have been added)

[bright pebble]

They should just look at all hard to reach clue steps, including beginners and add fitting shortcuts for those.

I just want the grapple from champions guild to the cow pen...

[severe hornet]

I bet they'll add some kind of shortcut for the castle draken step with the new vampire quest

[high prawn]

they should save it for the vampire quest, but from what ive heard it might be in poll 84

[worn herald]

was just talking with some players in game about this while fishing sharks. the shark spawn moves too quickly to not have this. should be super afk. its the FISHING guild after all 🎣

[ocean swallow]

Here's another spot that is in desperate need of a high lvl shortcut
This is NW of Priff for those who don't recognize it
And to go all the way around, it takes about 100 tiles or so

[violet hare]

Oh no, a relatively easy to get to clue spot

[rancid panther]

Not really in need of a shortcut as there is no need to ever go there

[thorn cape]

Man I wish we got more content in Priff post quest

[ocean swallow]

I went there for a shooting star and it was a pain in the butt lol
Be nice if there was a rock climb shortcut or something

[ocean swallow]

It’s 100 tiles out of the way.. that’s kinda the whole point of a short cut..

[astral root]

Best solution is to remove the stupid rocks from the other side and let the stash unit act as the barrier

Or do the Lumbridge Swamp step thing and have 2 units on both sides that are connected

[flat cairn]

Yeah. I wish there was more content up there. It’s looks so well designed, but there’s no “content” up there.

[ocean swallow]

Here's another idea for a much needed agility shortcut
N side of Draynor Manor, so after your beg clue step, you can run N to barb village to your next clue step.
It can require lvl 35
or lvl 90 just to gate keep the scrubs

[steady radish]

Draynor Manor fence only having one entrance generally kinda sucks. It would also be nice if the shortcut over the river lum nearby linked into a shortcut into Draynor Manor or the cow pen

[wide quiver]

happy to say the very first shortcut posted in this thread has been implemented 🥳 close enough to it, anyway, and actually prefer it the way it is

[thorn cape]

[wide quiver]

I like using the AKP fairy ring to access Sophanem, but the long path going around some rubble could definitely use a shortcut

[thorn cape]

I imagine this one specifically will see a lot of use in accessing Menaphos whenever it gets added to the game

Could see us getting a shortcut going west over the tributary

[small comet]

Adding an Agility shortcut between The Teomat and Mons Gratia could be fun. Perhaps via a grapple?

Originally there was a reason for this break: The Teomat was in Part 1 and Mons Gratia was in Part 2. But with both released now, I don't see a reason you couldn't have this.

It's not a necessary shortcut by any right. But it feels right to me to find some way to traverse over this gap.

Can't have a bridge there due to OSRS's "3D but actually 2D"-ness without some shenanigans. But an Agility shortcut is a shenanigan, so that would work.

[strange echo]

Agree on long path needing additional shortcut. Would love to see a true “shortcut” like something directly through/over/under the south wall.

[fervent widget]

Need a shortcut for soul altar, price is going crazy now…

[high prawn]

there is a shortcut

the abyss

[thorn cape]

The Imperium of Man's way

Just go through hell itself

Saves you 30 seconds

[severe hornet]

At some point they'll add menaphos and the true soul altar. If it's anything like bloods it'll be pretty fast

[vernal ocean]

Can't believe the shortcut to kalphite queen still requires elite diaries, nobody is going to need that shortcut by the time they get access to it - you even need to kill the boss up to 256 times to even reach the elite diary completion

oh damn this post was a lot older than I thought

well, point still stands

[raw solar]

Or to the west, where the nightshade patch is.

[fervent widget]

I think diary need rework too…

[small comet]

Community bump on @wide quiver 's suggestion. It's long with many additions, but also upvoted a lot.

Bumping because Mod Goblin on Reddit was asking about transportation. And because @gaunt lark mentioned the suggestion elsewhere.

Top of suggestion:

#1217465514335404152 message

@steady radish this is the Agility shortcut megathread I think

I believe some of these shortcuts did manage to enter the game, such as the Varrock Palace one to the White Tree (just on the lattice not the wall).

But others have not, so maybe it's good to consider them again.

[steady radish]

thanks for the find & ping

[wide quiver]

I think Ill go through the thread and maybe make like a big post with everything suggested

[fleet hedge]

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Balancing_ledge_(Yanille_Agility_Dungeon) could add this balancing ledge at the water, or maybe jump from the raised sand area to the wall and climb it

[wide quiver]

big compilation bump! thank you everyone for contributions!

[steady radish]

I can't really read this on mobile but looks sweet! Worth a reddit cross post too

[tough belfry]

These are amazing

The only other one I would like is the heckin mogre camp elite clue step that makes you pick up rocks. also trollweiss mountain - from entrace to top where brambickle is or the sled area

[strong hazel]

I would like agility shortcuts for moons of peril. let me climb up/down from the top of somewhere to the bottom hunting area.

[strong hazel]

wanted:

shadow dungeon agility shortcut

agility shortcut from back of ancients pyramid up to its entrance

Isle of souls dungeon

charred island dungeon

[strong hazel]

wanted: shortcut from crafting guild entrance to peninsula. helps people collect snape grass. helps my medium clue dig

[strong hazel]

can we do this to get around the stupid trees in the way?

[strong hazel]

bump

[peak ginkgo]

I just want to say that each shortcut should give some amount of agility xp. I know it should be obvious, but turns out a lot of shortcuts don't for some reasons

[gaunt lark]

bump

[strong hazel]

wtf is that cave doing ther being completely useless

see marked orange - add pls

[dire kestrel]

The flavor difficulty of the shortcut (how hard it would be to do IRL) should be made to match the level requirement.
If squeezing through the fence takes 94 agility make it look like you need to be a contortionist to do it.

[strong hazel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1sygmvj/shortcut_here_jagex_i_beg/

[strong hazel]

need a few inside prif. pain in the butt running half the map just to circle back to the top to grab a crystal impling stuck on the other side of a fence

[astral root]

They honestly should just get rid of like maybe 50-75% of the trees in Priff. Priff will still look fine without them.

[fast kindle]

My favorite agility update would be able to see what the required levels are by hovering over the shortcut. It may be a small thing, but I do not have 99 agility nor a wiki level of knowledge and i am kind of sick of taking a path with the idea of using the shortcut. Just to realize i couldn't use it until i got to it lol
