New Agility Shortcut

[blazing grotto]

There should be an agility shortcut on the south eastern wall of Falador that leads towards Draynor.
It would shorten the walk to go there alot from Falador.

[misty canopy]

I feel like at that point you might as well walk from lumbridge

There’s at least 7 easier/faster ways to get to Draynor, I don’t see a reason for this shortcut

[blazing grotto]

pure convenience.

thats why

[misty canopy]

In what case though

[blazing grotto]

if you are in falador and need to walk to draynor, such as doing treasure trails, with a stop at falador and then draynor.
some of us do actually like walking around the map instead of teleport-scape.

besides, if they can put a shortcut less than 30 meters from the openning in the wall between port sarim and draynor, they can put this new shortcut into falador.
lmao.

[brazen crypt]

Its not really faster than just walking out the south entrance though, you are going the same South and East distance either way

[blazing grotto]

it actually is a bit faster because instead of having to straight down and across, you can go diagonally from the bank and save just a bit of distance, in the same way that agility shortcut between port sarim and draynor is.

it isn't a massive time savings, but is is actually a shorter path.

It also gives direct access path to draynor manner, which is also another treasure trails location.

Like i said, some people do like to walk the map versus using teleports, and any amount of direct walking distance saved is time saved for us really old school players

[lone flicker]

I like it for walking from Varrock, if you moved it a bit more north to the middle ish of the wall beside the manor

[blazing grotto]

That would be acceptable.

bump

[lyric skiff]

Bump weekly, not daily

[blazing grotto]

Bump!

[spice bronze]

The thing is with this there's a simple solution, do you diaries. Wouldn't say I'm against it exactly but it's kinda a waste of man power. Cause you have the glory teleport, you have the spirit tree and you have the explorers ring all in the area you speak of. Just go grind a bit and problem solved.

[blazing grotto]

I have all of the above, however, Ill say it again, since it is relevant...

if they can put a shortcut less than 30 meters from the opening in the wall between port sarim and draynor, they can put this new shortcut into falador.

[willow grotto]

That shortcut is basically a meme and should not be used for comparison

[blazing grotto]

But it exists, so it is relevant, besides, it would help lots of people.
I don't even care if they put a real high requirement on it...
It would be useful, and even you have to admit, if it was there, you would use it, more than once.
Everyone eventually forgets runes or otherwise, and ends up walking to their destination rather than back-tracking to a bank.
At least some of the time...

[willow grotto]

Except the only scenario I could see myself going this direction would be… from falador east bank lol. Not opposed to the suggestion (hence no thumbs down), but I just don’t think the Draynor village “shortcut” should be used as a comparison

[blazing grotto]

Clue Scrolling.

[willow grotto]

So no, I don’t think I would ever actually use the shortcut

[willow grotto]

Nah, I use an inventory setup for clues

And teles

[blazing grotto]

yea, not everyone is as smart as us in that regard, and sometimes I even forget.
i've walked the fally to draynor route more than once cause forgetting teles

[willow grotto]

But like there are 2 banks in the city and you get so close to them whenever you leave? Again, not opposed to the suggestion but don’t think it would add much either (except maybe to irons)

[blazing grotto]

I guarantee if the shortcut existed, many people would use it.

[blazing grotto]

bump!

[tranquil chasm]

This shortcut is definitely in the #2 camp.

[blazing grotto]

lol... so many don't like small additions like this... but if it was already there, I bet you would use it at least a few times in your acc's life
Also... your #2 on that graphic actually would be bad cause of how it would change the difficulty of that area, which would be a bridge too far.
My suggestion literally affects nothing in a major way, but presents a convenient new way to travel through to or from Falador.

[tranquil chasm]

Both of these shortxuts have/are being added haha. The north of Shiloh Village shortcut is pretty powerful though, especially for old style nature rune crafting (which is probably still worse than the abyss or uhh anything else)

[willow grotto]

They already added a N Shilo shortcut, but it’s further east

[blazing grotto]

oh, I hadn't even noticed... maybe i should go look at it lol

[willow grotto]

A couple friends got 99 rc running natures using it and the achievement diary cape, looks p great

[blazing grotto]

Interesting... well, maybe I'll make that part of my route from shilo for that and metal dragons slayer
I just looked at the map, and now I see it, but it is kind of out of the way for what I'd ever use it for...

[tranquil chasm]

A lot of old design maps have big blocky walls which align neatly to chunk boundaries.. but are annoying to walk through. IMO most of those should have agility shortcuts added in some locations - up to 1 in each cardinal direction

[blazing grotto]

and see, falador has 3 sides of their walls that have an exit plus/or an agility shortcut, but on the east side of town, nothing, which is where my suggestion comes in

[lyric skiff]

Should've been a long rope attachment from near the darkmeyer tele to the wall above, not necessarily a grapple. If not there, then on the northern side closer to the clue spot

[blazing grotto]

The Darkmeyer shortcut is a pair of Long Rope items. I actually just finished Sins of the Father not all that long ago and put my ropes there.

[tranquil chasm]

Quite, so I agree with you. However I suspect @willow grotto is more in camp #1

[willow grotto]

Lol I literally said I’m ambivalent about this shortcut, don’t think it would add anything but I don’t see the harm in more shortcuts

[blazing grotto]

rofl... I know i have fallen into the trap of exploring the east side of falador only to find there is no way out and had to walk back all the way around

[tranquil chasm]

Fair enough, not trying to lol troll. I enjoy our conversations on here generally

[willow grotto]

Yeah you’re good, you a real one

[blazing grotto]

bump!

[spice bronze]

Was a bit soon that bump, we're not allowed to do it until it's been a week since the last comment 🙂

[willow grotto]

Specifically the last bump, productive comments don’t count https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1407940059969359882

[spice bronze]

Oh okay i was told otherwise also. So it's not about the last comment?

[willow grotto]

No
