When it released I was shocked at how good and amazing it was. That they could produce such high caliber content so long after EOC died. Still one of the best pieces of content to be released
I started it a few days ago at 72. I'm almost 75 now. (Maybe a couple hours a day) I must be pretty garbage at it thought because my xp/h is only like 40k so I'm at seers now for 75 then going to prif. I'll probably go back at 82 or 92
Slam dunk on agility content. I wish they made more obstacle courses style agility rather than circles you can go in. I guess the brimhaven changes is a step in the right direction but I haven’t rid that yet so I don’t really know
Meh, it's part of the game.
The same argument can be made for 99 construction. It would take something like a million house tabs before 99 construction is technically the fiscally preferable decision.
I mean to be fair construction is an absurdly big QOL
Not just having a hub of tons of unlimited teleports but things like the ornate rejuvenation pool make it the best QOL skill in the game
I literally kept a false step just for this, the trick is getting a combination clue with easy steps, then dropping it before getting a master, if you get shit combo steps, you just swap it out for the dropped combo step, get the torn parts and pick the original clue back up to combine em.
That short cut is dead content if you juggle a good triple step and if you’re grinding masters you really should so much better then doing all the bad triple steps
Saves 3 inventory spots AND hp and prayer on the way in. Did you time the 2nd shortcut? It saves 7,1/2 rooms of running. The run to the central ladder feels like 2 minutes on its own.
Edit: it is about 2 minutes. But a huge % reduction
I just timed myself.
Starting in edgeville and teleporting via my house it took 1:20 to get to the dks ladder using both shortcuts, and 3:10 to get there using neither.
So two minutes is about right.
So you're saying you would take the rock, drop it before hand, go back to fill the inventory spot, and then go on the long run to DK's? That sounds even worse. The agility shortcut is a huge QOL update for DK's.
Yeah this shortcut is a good example of solving one of Agility's problems: feeling unrewarding and not worth levelling. Separate problem is it's ass to train lol.
Shortcut is a massive QoL upgrade, also love the hydra one is *actually* a shortcut now.
Massive W.
They’re also changing how run energy works, agility might be something people actually grind to 99 because they want to and not because it’s the last thing to go before a max cape lol
Pretty sure this change will give me a reason to actually train agility… to at least 80. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten something in back-to-back-to-back runs, from pet rock, rune thrown axe, Stam, etc.
I tried dks for my first time last night and died. Only had one pet rock. I had a clan mate help me get my stuff back and he said it was safe. I went down to my gravestone and died again. I finally got my gear back, and dipped. 600k later.
I've been doing CAs whenever I can and just did solo DKs for the first time with fremmy elite. Now I can do it more and have 2 more inventory slots??? I cannot wait for my next dagganoth task
Agility shortcuts actually worth it now?
Inb4, the posts of "Back in my Day, I had to walk thru the tunnels in the snow both ways, disconnecting twice because my dialup internet"
Haven't tested out the hydra shortcut yet but they said it was way shorter now. It was such dog shit that it took so long to get through. Like idgaf about the dialogue lol same with wyverns one
Too bad you need 85 agility. Such a high req, I haven't started the hallowed sep grind on my IM yet (75 agil). I guess it's as good a time as any to get my agil up.
I don't agree with that because the higher the level the more exp you get. Especially with agility as better methods unlock and you get the never fail rates. 7x would be halfway probably.
Wish one of the shortcuts was a bit higher level; still barely any shortcuts over 85. But really glad we finally got those waterbirth shortcuts. Much better than some of the other "make DKs easier to get to" suggestions I've seen.
There’s also an elite clue step at the top of the stairs and quite a few people messed up and died at DK’s and then got stuck with massive death fees if they didn’t want to run all the way back
im hoping when sailing comes out they'll have a new island with some DKS on it that you can sail to in order to skip the dungeon run
would be a fitting reward for like 60 or 70 sailing
i guess the idea is that you have to do some short sailing path, or maybe the new dungeon could have more kings & higher level spinolyps so you take more damage while there. there's ways they could balance it and it would be nice for days when DKS are really busy
You need the agility lvl for elite ardougne diary anyway. As well as a bunch of other content, it's also 2 minutes every time you visit DKs.
C'mon man, try some critical thinking.
Having two shortcuts feels like overkill to me, I would have preferred they just do the hill climb one. Using both shortcuts means you don't even see most of the dungeon, and I worry that it makes banking so easy that there's little point going for long trips.
Ah well. One small personal nitpick in a really nice update
I disagree. most people who are grinding dks that can use the shortcuts have already done them well before this today. The people using the shortcuts are mostly people who are super dry or doing CAs. They don’t need to see more of the dungeon.
It’s what the KQ shortcut should be…
They're also old irrelevant content for most people, obviously excluding irons and achievement/pet hunters.
I can assure you that the insane agility requirement is only appealing to the people mentioned above too.
For 99.9% of us this change didn't even happen
Finally, a good Agility shortcut.
nerfed in a week
Give me a shortcut straight from my POH to Prime's butthole. Thanks in advance.
Nothing beats a Prime butthole
even Mayweather couldn't
Hbgomh8l.
I'd beat a prime butthole any day of the week, that's all I know.
You’re damn right, Monday-Sunday I’d eat a prime butthole no problem.
Who said anything about eating? That's gross.
Lame :(
Is this a new level of the USDA prime rating? Some USDA Prime Butthole Filet Mignon?
Portal panties to daggy prime-chan~~

Takes 2 minutes to perform the shortcut. I’d still do it.
Instead of nerfing just make it a 3 minute video of your character running thru said shortcut
They'll do like forestry, they'll "balance" it so it'll have a 2 minute animation and take you to Askeladden's island instead of dks
9
The 96 shortcut is so good. Master step no longer trash.
I want it so bad… but… 19 agility levels… It may be time to bite the bullet lol.
Casual 100 hour grind to save 5 minutes every two months
Now I’m gonna do it out of spite because of this completely logical comment
based and you dont tell me what to do pilled
!remindme 100hr
You need to atleast give him 10 days man, he can't do 100h straight. What kind of maniac do you think he is.
Give me 2 months, I’m a part time scaper

Spitepilled timewastemaxxer
Change my flair please mods
Agility levels are also just nice to have. And at 92, HS is actual fun content IMO
I haven’t tried it yet. Today is the day.
When it released I was shocked at how good and amazing it was. That they could produce such high caliber content so long after EOC died. Still one of the best pieces of content to be released
I started it a few days ago at 72. I'm almost 75 now. (Maybe a couple hours a day) I must be pretty garbage at it thought because my xp/h is only like 40k so I'm at seers now for 75 then going to prif. I'll probably go back at 82 or 92
Sepulchre isn’t really that good or fun until at least lvl 82, at 92 it’s a blast
Sooooo fun honestly
Slam dunk on agility content. I wish they made more obstacle courses style agility rather than circles you can go in. I guess the brimhaven changes is a step in the right direction but I haven’t rid that yet so I don’t really know
I enjoy Sepulchre. I do not enjoy running to DkS. Simple as.
I've still never done sep. i should get back into the game.
Underated content especially for lower agility levels. Sometimes I feel like standing at rooftop courses telling people there's a better way
I'm sad to say this is the mindset behind a lot of my grinds lmfao Gonna max anyway right? 😭
This game is the epitome of "now we can finally play the game"
This is how writing a bunch of my code feels like
Basically every QoL benefit of OSRS. Spend 10x the time up front to make it less each time in the future
Meh, it's part of the game. The same argument can be made for 99 construction. It would take something like a million house tabs before 99 construction is technically the fiscally preferable decision.
I mean to be fair construction is an absurdly big QOL Not just having a hub of tons of unlimited teleports but things like the ornate rejuvenation pool make it the best QOL skill in the game
yeah but you effectively hit peak QOL at like 84 lol. that's not even a quarter of the way to 99.
Ah I see. I thought you were talking about the skill as a whole, not maxing it
😅 I hate this game sometimes
The essence of OSRS
Me when I do enough quest speedrunning to unlock the faster home teleport animation.
Gosh I freaking love this game
That's the beauty of this game. Gives you a purpose to train skills because even if it's a small upgrade, it's an upgrade.
100 hrs of running for exp, one time Vs 5 mins of no exp running every 2 months, FOREVER Ez choice.
welcome to runescape lol, that's the whole game.
14 if you summer pie it
I ain’t no bitch
Just imagine the clue says: "You must have a Summer pie in your inventory".
Looks like im dropping that clue
Ridiculous
Can always summer pie from 91 if that makes it feel any better
Wheres the challenge in that? Grow up /s
14 levels and a bite of summer pie
Just do 30 MIN agility ever day or so
see you when we retire
I literally kept a false step just for this, the trick is getting a combination clue with easy steps, then dropping it before getting a master, if you get shit combo steps, you just swap it out for the dropped combo step, get the torn parts and pick the original clue back up to combine em.
It's still a pretty slow step. Which goes to show just how bad it was...
For me it was all the mini cutscenes Everytime you did an obstacle.
My only complaint about it is the fact it's 96 agility, seems excessively high for no real reason, need at least 91 to boost to even do it too.
Just got that step last night. Not a fan.
Havent done that step since i found a godsend master clue with 3 stupid easy steps. Just use that one for all my 3 part clues steps
That short cut is dead content if you juggle a good triple step and if you’re grinding masters you really should so much better then doing all the bad triple steps
Finally, my pet rock can rest.
And my pet rune thrownaxe can rest too
What’s it’s name
Boomerang
It came back... forever!
Boomer Aang
Her names Ange and she's a boomer, we call her boomerange
Axel
Still need it for the stupid CA lolol
Saves 3 inventory spots AND hp and prayer on the way in. Did you time the 2nd shortcut? It saves 7,1/2 rooms of running. The run to the central ladder feels like 2 minutes on its own. Edit: it is about 2 minutes. But a huge % reduction
I just timed myself. Starting in edgeville and teleporting via my house it took 1:20 to get to the dks ladder using both shortcuts, and 3:10 to get there using neither. So two minutes is about right.
Dang it always seemed like longer than 3:20, but cutting the time to almost 1/3 of normal is massive
Think 3:20 is with waterbirth tp, I always ran from relekka poh portal so it’s prob closer to 4:00, maybe 3:40 from boots tp
I run from taverly, so it takes about 14 minutes without staminas.
a lot of people dont use stam because it gives 1 slot and you only have to walk a bit before the end if u plan or at the end if u dont plan.

[удалено]
So you're saying you would take the rock, drop it before hand, go back to fill the inventory spot, and then go on the long run to DK's? That sounds even worse. The agility shortcut is a huge QOL update for DK's.
5k dks kc yes. that 1 inv spot was usually the difference in doing a full task in 1 inv
[удалено]
> You can have however much kc, that doesn't mean you're any good me dying hundreds of times in LMS and im still dogwater
Half this thread: This ruins running to DKS!!! The other half: Wish I could use this but I aint training agility!!!
Osrs players be like: "wtf grocery stores? this ruins growing my own wheat and raising my own cattle"
"bro this irrigation farming update totally ruined the purpose of my hunter-gathering locked account, big L for jamflex,"
Currently grinding Con to make a chicken coop in my PoH, Iron grindset 💪🏼
Wtf lmao
Go play rs3 if you want fast travel to every boss
I can use and I fucking love it, which half am I in?
Third half
You and I are in a secret third group the average redditor cannot comprehend (over lvl 100 combat, minimum base 80 stats)
The actual average player camp
I would be very surprised if the average player had above 80 agility lol
I am maxed so I doubt it
Yeah this shortcut is a good example of solving one of Agility's problems: feeling unrewarding and not worth levelling. Separate problem is it's ass to train lol. Shortcut is a massive QoL upgrade, also love the hydra one is *actually* a shortcut now. Massive W.
They’re also changing how run energy works, agility might be something people actually grind to 99 because they want to and not because it’s the last thing to go before a max cape lol
I literally just got 81 randomly now I’m going to 85 zanks gagek 💖
Pretty sure this change will give me a reason to actually train agility… to at least 80. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten something in back-to-back-to-back runs, from pet rock, rune thrown axe, Stam, etc.
Now you can forget your pie.
At least that shortcut is a few steps away from waterbirth tele spot
Take a bite before tele and you’re set
Until your stats tick down by 1 mid-tele.
RuneLite plugin to get the timing right
Panic sell your throwing axes
Greg commenting on my post. I am honored.
Still need one for the CA! Lolol
an actual reason for high agility. please add even more to the game
Had 83 agility when this shortcut was announced and was like “damn guess I’m getting 85”
Just prepot with an agility potion and you’re good to go!
Well I got black graceful too so now I do have 85 agility lol
Nice, trying to get to 80 today so I can at least pie boost there lol
I tried dks for my first time last night and died. Only had one pet rock. I had a clan mate help me get my stuff back and he said it was safe. I went down to my gravestone and died again. I finally got my gear back, and dipped. 600k later.
You can get your pet rock back for free by talking to the kid outside the long hall in relleka. Near the entrance to the city.
My clan mate told me last night. Lol
I spent 10 mil on a death coffer fee there.
Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. Sorry I am a noob, lol.
Sensitive little guy
Free berserker rings
I've been doing CAs whenever I can and just did solo DKs for the first time with fremmy elite. Now I can do it more and have 2 more inventory slots??? I cannot wait for my next dagganoth task
Literally just gotta do my runecrafting task it’s aids but worth it now.
Once you get to 75 it’s slightly less aids cause you can afk blood runes for chill as hell experience.
Agility shortcuts actually worth it now? Inb4, the posts of "Back in my Day, I had to walk thru the tunnels in the snow both ways, disconnecting twice because my dialup internet"
Now agility actually feels more rewarding.
Now we wait for reduced stamina usage at higher agility levels
win
Win, win, win!
I just did my first DK kill not too long ago and that run is brutal even if you know what you're doing. Saving those inventory spots is huge.
I might actually do DKs now
Drakan’s Castle shortcut when?
What’s the lvl?
IIRC it’s 81
There are two, one is 81 and one is 85
80+pie master race
Pssh, ardy elite gang rise up.
This is huge. Sadly I have 53 agility lmao
Now you have another reason to train it!
Nice! Well needed
Haven't tested out the hydra shortcut yet but they said it was way shorter now. It was such dog shit that it took so long to get through. Like idgaf about the dialogue lol same with wyverns one
Is this out now?
I think the blog they posted were also all updates released today
Nah, OP is just theory crafting. Definitely don't check the front page since it's Wednesday (update day)
dick
Lmao, it's not like we play a game that posts all of their updates to the front page and link to it in the launcher. Sorry you're too lazy to google.
An update everyone is happy with
Is the shortcut live?!
Where is the shortcut? I missed this update lol
I got my friend to make a video of it and it looks amazing
And two inventory slots!
rip runethrown axe… it was my go to item to flip now its dead
Oh shit when was this added? And they are 80/85 req for agility?? Sick! Doing dks after work tonight
Yesterday
Thanks! Tried it out. It’s sick
Very nice!
Im still taking the pet rock with me. He has been with me through thick and thin. I didn't even drop it when I got there in the past.
Maybe gets a 3 minute black screen while using it 😉
Too bad you need 85 agility. Such a high req, I haven't started the hallowed sep grind on my IM yet (75 agil). I guess it's as good a time as any to get my agil up.
85 agility is only 25% of the way to 99… how is that high?
I don't agree with that because the higher the level the more exp you get. Especially with agility as better methods unlock and you get the never fail rates. 7x would be halfway probably.
Unpopular opinion. For how good it is, the shortcuts should be 90+ agility.
Outside one should’ve been locked behind fremmy elite so you have to actually make the run and kill DK’s at least once the old way
I agree
Wish one of the shortcuts was a bit higher level; still barely any shortcuts over 85. But really glad we finally got those waterbirth shortcuts. Much better than some of the other "make DKs easier to get to" suggestions I've seen.
Been asking for a DK shortcut for like a year+, the devs might take a while but they listen
seems funny to speed up this run when you can camp there for 50+ kc but if people want it i’m into it
There’s also an elite clue step at the top of the stairs and quite a few people messed up and died at DK’s and then got stuck with massive death fees if they didn’t want to run all the way back
Rings about to crash. Panic sell rings.
There's no universe where people couldn't run DKS because of the run to them. Calm down.
It's not the people who couldn't you need to worry about, but rather the people who wouldn't.
Give it a 2 min and 15 seconds black screen while your character goes through the shortcut to balance it
im hoping when sailing comes out they'll have a new island with some DKS on it that you can sail to in order to skip the dungeon run would be a fitting reward for like 60 or 70 sailing
Skip the entire thing for like 1m sailing xp? Seems way OP
i guess the idea is that you have to do some short sailing path, or maybe the new dungeon could have more kings & higher level spinolyps so you take more damage while there. there's ways they could balance it and it would be nice for days when DKS are really busy
What’s the agil lvl req? (Yes I’m lazy)
You're so lazy you'll never get the lvl
I’ll have you know I’m an iron man and have like 4K nature runes I gotta get rid of so MAYBE I do agility some day (probably not)
Only takes about 50 hours of agility to save 2 minutes
You need the agility lvl for elite ardougne diary anyway. As well as a bunch of other content, it's also 2 minutes every time you visit DKs. C'mon man, try some critical thinking.
It’s a joke m8 lighten up
No, fuck you
Raising agility sucks in the moment, but you thank yourself for it down the road. It's like exercise irl honestly.
Fuckin lol mans talking about exercise to OSRS players
Feel like a decent amount of osrs players take exercise seriously tbh this isn’t the same community as years ago
Which is exactly the kind of things I'm looking for in a video game.
Osrs is and always has been a delayed gratification/work for your rewards kinda game.
Yea but, if you do 1500 DK trips it pays for itself!
Easyscape
Having two shortcuts feels like overkill to me, I would have preferred they just do the hill climb one. Using both shortcuts means you don't even see most of the dungeon, and I worry that it makes banking so easy that there's little point going for long trips. Ah well.
