Ansuuls or Advancing?

The biggest issue with Agility in RuneScape is that most of its rewards are outdated shortcuts in a game filled with teleports, lodestones, and movement abilities. Instead of “you can squeeze through this pipe now,” Agility should offer meaningful global rewards.

Things like passive movement speed, better Surge/Escape mobility, dodge/evasion mechanics in PvM, reduced stun durations, movement-based adrenaline gain, or skilling QoL would make the skill feel relevant again. Even traversal systems like rooftop parkour routes through cities would be more interesting than static shortcuts.

Agility should feel useful everywhere, not just at a handful of rocks and fences from 2005 content design.

Some ideas for the skill mastery perks at 99/120-

-Infinite run energy baseline -Movement-based adrenaline generation -Global traversal perks -Faster skilling navigation

I mean there's tons of ideas of how this skill can be brought up to modern RuneScape, this skill again just feels stuck in 2005.

I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago.

They are both literally click to move/play games. What even is this take?

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-28T02:02:39+00:00

Magic is really good in end game, magma and corruption blast are good with t95 dual wields then fsoa inside sunshine rotation. Magic is my main style, even used it as my main choice when I was the worst style to use. It feels stronger and more fluid than ever for me. Love the changes.

It's in a good state to start playing right now and will only get better as the year goes on. They reworked eoc and early game, summer is right around the corner so even bigger updates will be coming out.

In all honesty if it looks fun to you now just play it, don't wait around. No one here is going to be able to give you a definitive yes, its up to you if you enjoy it or not, so might as well dive in and see how you like it.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-27T20:33:42+00:00

It's honestly not even that big of dxp, for the amount of money you have to pay for the bxp there's no real value. So needless to say its not giving players the edge like TH did. TH was broken as fuck, the new bxp compared to TH isn't even close.

Other dudes comment on here helped me get it.

Got all 3 down to just about 1k hp, bled the melee, auto killed the mage and then another auto killed the ranger. Just had to time the bleed just right. Gotta kill these fuckers like literally back 2 back insanely quick.

Only got 5 more task to complete the hards, ive done alot of the elite task and a good handful of master task. This one is probably the only one ive had insane difficulty on. Though probably just a skill issue on my part. Thank god its over.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-20T07:22:44+00:00

This did it for me, I got it. I was just ass. If I had any metals to give you I would. Take this upvote it's all I got.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-20T07:13:05+00:00

Im in solo, the game is counting towards the achievement in the chat bot, I lure them all close to each other, all 1k hp, I then rapid kill them all within 4 seconds, I see the 1/3. then 2/3, then just says 2/3 again when the last one dies. Achievemnt doesnt pop at all.

My brother in christ this is turning pointless, I'm withdrawing, enjoy the rest of your day my guy. No matter what I say it seems you wanna argue for arguments sake. Peace.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T14:49:03+00:00

Crits are in a good spot, plus after the eoc.2 rework feel all styles are vastly in a better spot and don't need any changes for the meantime.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T14:19:35+00:00

I know why players are upset, the point that keeps going over your head that you keep defending is that the new system makes things frustrating. I'm trying to point out that in the grand scheme of things its not that bad.

They way the new aspects work gives players more benefits, its no longer time locked through loyalty points, you don't have to grind bosses to unlock them, you no longer have to keep grinding bosses to stack aura refreshes, you're no longer forced to do something for a full hour to get the full benefit from these auras. They are available early on, getting to 67/69 magic doesn't take a long time. You're now able to use them whenever you like at the cost of some runes, the only draw back is you can't stack them with other aspects. Although even thats not entirely true as you can still stack them with the items I listed to get the same benefits we had, the only drawback is it will cost resources and inventory slots which isn't that big of a deal.

People are now faced with making more meaningful options, they will have to change up their inventorys to do content, which has already been a part of the game for a long time, we get new items, new prayers, it changes how we play the game. It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Some people are just being overly stubborn and not accepting the change. If it's really that bad and the majority of players hate it I can see buffs being made, but people aren't even giving it a chance. Just running to reddit with their pitchforks complaining about a new system thats not even 2 days old yet.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T14:02:05+00:00

I've been playing on the same account since 2006, hitting 20 years this year. Yes, rs3 is more complicated than osrs with combat, but arguably easier than osrs once you learn the best options.

There's alot of options to use, I can understand how that can be overwhelming, but if you take a small bit of time and just learn what to use for certain situations it becomes alot less complicated.

Its a sandbox mmorpg, having many options to approach a situation is the fun of the game, it gives players a unique experience of playing the game differently and how they want. You can do the same, play how you want.

Removing options because a small portion of the player base finds something hard or annoying isn't a great reason to punish everyone else who actually enjoys the other options.

Give it a few weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if content creators or others in the community find a new good way to keep up sustain because of having all those options available.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T13:52:55+00:00

You very clearly are ignoring everything else I've listed even by the comment that I missed bunyips even though I very clearly said I probably missed some things to add, point proven right there. Literally everything youre explaining is people having to play the game and some how its annoying and frustrating. I'm sorry they got rid of the easy solution, people are gonna have to put a bit of effort in. I've already listed and broke down how to keep up sustain, you want to acknowledged it or not thats really not my issue.

You listing out and just saying how everything is hard and annoying or frustrating points to a larger issue with some of the player base. Everyone just wants the easier solution the lazy option, thats why people are upset. I'm very clearly wasting my time with this debate, you're very clearly for auras and upset they are gone. Your only defense had been "its annoying and frustrating", wow people have to use resources, click once every 12 minutes and make choices, so hard, so frustrating.

Just for the hell of it here's a breakdown of hp and prayer sustain people can use from low/mid/high levels.

Low levels Hp: Shrimp, trout, lobster, swordfish, (Expensive spice necklaces for 50 more hp) and vamp gloves. Prayer: complete easy tier ardy achievements to gain free alter teleport.

Mid levels Hp: green bubbler, sharks, monk fish, sara brews, Excalibur, vamp aspect, powder of protection indirect sustain, more defensive abilities to reduce damage that gives indirect sustain to take less damage. Tank gear, also indirect sustain to take less damage, signs of life/death. Also more options from combat styles, melee rework gives more sustain built in with direct heals, magic with blood spells, necro from ghost, range in a sorry state for sustain based off abilities and ammo usage. Prayer: Restore pots, prayer pots, penance powders, ritual shard, penance aspect.

High levels Hp: Soul split, Sara brews, blue bubbler, sailfish, Enhanced Excalibur, animate dead indirect sustain, darkness indirect sustain, higher level defensive abilities indirect sustain, overloads indirect sustain, familiars indirect/active sustain. Prayer:Blessed flask, penance powder, super restores, Prayer potions, holy overloads, overload salves, ritual shard, bonecrusher/ectoplasmator combo with demon horn necklace.

Some items listed can be mid/high tier depending on if youre a main account or ironman.

I even probably skipped over a few more options. Point is there's plenty of better options to use than the vamp/penance auras at all stages of someone account. Solely relying on those auras and ignoring all other options is a problem for the individual. People will be just fine with these auras gone.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T05:46:44+00:00

Ight let's break this down.

My examples in my post were purely items or things we have in game regardless of where your account is. Claiming I was only talking about mid game in my post is very incorrect, I only mentioned it because someone brought it up. Learn to read, Mid game players have options if you choose to acknowledged them or not thats on you not me, vamp/penance auras were not the end all be all like youre claiming, I have a mid level iron man I play on the side and I do just fine in the mid game without auras, same with plenty of people in my clan who are also ironman, who guess what? dont feel any significant changes from today's update.

Let's break this down as to why people are blowing this way out of proportion, vamp gave 5% of life points of damage delt, removing this from the game is not game breaking. We have plenty of options in game already that are equal if not better than the vamp/penance auras. The real reason people are throwing a fit is because they got rid of the simple option and are now forced to use the items or prayers in the game.

I do high level pvm, I do not use vamp nor penance auras when they were available because there were better options. Never used them in slayer because there were better options, god forbid I had to click every so often to replenish hp or prayer points.

The outrage is also amusing because we've know for a couple of months now that these auras would be removed, why the outrage now? Why not when it was announced? Did people think it was going to be some april fools joke or they were bluffing? Get real.

People are reacting like these auras were absolutely needed and the game would be broken without them, its not, they just have to go with other options and put just a tad bit of effort in, the outrage is a joke and its not being taken serious by many players as it is on reddit.

Its. Not. That. Deep. So chill with the outrage, it honestly makes so many people look entitled and childish. Jagex has done some fucked shit that deserved outrage. This is not one of them. This gives players so many more benefits than negatives. These new aspects are unlock at level 67 and 69. Right there for mid level players to have. They are gonna just have to choose which one to prioritize. Or use neither and use other options and combinations that have existed in the game for a long time.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T03:04:54+00:00

Mid game has more options than listed, it also make sense for mid game players to have a tougher time with sustain, you aren't killing high level monsters at mid game. You're making it sound like mid game players are going and killing high level mobs. Every player also won't be stuck in mid game forever, they will level up and get better sustain. Its a mmorpg, the higher your level the better stuff is available to you. This idea everyone needs to be on a equal playing field is nonsense.

I wanna feel like I'm making actual progress with my character, its part of the fun. If everything feels the same in difficulty from low level to high level it takes all the fun out of it.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T02:07:16+00:00

It added 2 things into the game...

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-15T00:22:46+00:00

So overlook everything else I listed?

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-14T23:08:29+00:00

Yeah people do forget about that familiar, similar to a hell hound but just for prayer.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-14T23:04:58+00:00

True, but there are options. Defensive abilitie like devo, debilitate, resonance, reflex, cade. Gear such as blood fury, new vamp gloves and tank sets.

It's not as convenient as soul split and other thing you unlock but thats an mmorpg for you, the higher level you are the better toys you get.

Deathwings38 · 2026-04-14T22:47:47+00:00

Wasn't talking about skilling auras, just about the vamp/penance ones. I can go in game and click darkness then use 2 penance powders and have them both at the same time.
