This article or section requires a cleanup in order to meet the Old School RuneScape Wiki's quality standards. Reason: The obstacles section could be redone with a table. The "getting there" section is excessive. Food section should either be trimmed down or tabled as well. You can edit this page to improve it.

The Brimhaven Agility Arena is an Agility-training minigame. It can be found in the east of Brimhaven, run by Cap'n Izzy No-Beard, who will charge 200 coins for access.

The official Brimhaven Agility Arena world is 314.

Objective

The object of the minigame is to tag pillars located in the arena in order to get agility arena tickets. The arena is made of twenty-five platforms arranged in a 5x5 square, each with a single pillar except for northeastern platform, which has the exit. Between each pair of adjacent platforms is an obstacle which must be passed, usually using the Agility skill. If the player fails to pass the obstacle, they will take damage.

Getting There

Getting to the Arena essentially involves getting to Brimhaven and walking to the hut south of the Spirit Tree Patch.

• Use the Achievement Diary cape teleport to Pirate Jackie the fruit.
• Use an Amulet of glory to teleport to Musa Point and walk.
• Take a boat from East Ardougne, a charter ship to Brimhaven, or the boat from Port Sarim.
• Move your house to Brimhaven.
• Travel via Spirit trees, if you have planted one in Brimhaven.
• Using the Fight Cave minigame teleport and walking.

How to Play

One pillar of the twenty-four is the "active" pillar. The active pillar changes every 60 seconds. When this pillar is tagged, the player becomes "active". Every subsequent pillar they tag will result in the player getting one ticket. Completing the elite Karamja diary grants a 10% chance at getting two tickets at once.

If the player does not reach the next active pillar within 60 seconds, they will turn "inactive" and must hit the next active pillar again to become "active".

What to take

When going to the Agility Arena, there are some items which should be taken:

• 200 coins to pay Cap'n Izzy No-Beard
• Food - The player should take food which heals less than 20 Hitpoints per bite; if the player has over 20 Hitpoints when they take damage, they will take more damage than if they had under 20 Hitpoints. The ideal food would be something which heals high, but in multiple bites.
  • Summer pies heal 22 per slot (11 per bite) and boost Agility by 5. (Most Recommended)
  • Pineapple pizzas heal the same as Summer Pies, but without the Agility boost
  • Baskets of strawberries each strawberry heals up to 6 (depending on Hitpoints level), up to 30 hitpoints per basket.
  • Hitpoints cape and/or Regen bracelet - This combined with 60+ Agility and a few pieces of weight-reducing clothing should allow players to last very long with minimal food
• Karamja gloves 2/3 for the 10% experience bonus, or Karamja gloves 4 for additional chance to gain double tickets
• Agility potions or summer pies - For restoring Agility levels lost when failing the dart obstacle
• Graceful or other weight-reducing items
• (Optional) Something stackable to do between waiting for tickets to move, such as arrow shafts and feathers, or stuff to high alch

Tips

• At lower levels the Agility gain from cashing in fewer tickets may outweigh the value of saving for the better "exchange rate" (and cost of re-entering the arena).
• After tagging a pillar, players should go back to the centre platform. They can get to any platform fairly quickly from the centre platform.
• Players should try to memorize the general layout of the arena so that they can tell which route would be the best to use to reach their target. Avoiding dart traps should be a priority if no means of stat recovery are brought.
• The nearest bank is located in Mor Ul Rek. Players may wish to bank their tickets every so often in case they die; as tickets are untradeable, no-one else can salvage them for you. Players may also bring some coins with them and take a cart ride from Hajedy ranging from 10 to 200gp per ride to Shilo Village for faster banking.
• Two or three Agility potions may help to recover lowered Agility levels from the poison darts.
• For every Agility level players have above 40, they will receive an additional 5 experience per ticket. This +5 experience bonus is applied after the 10% experience bonus from the Karamja Diary medium task rewards.

Rewards

Trivia

• When players dodge the darts in the darts obstacle, a cut scene appears in which the character dodges the darts in slow motion, a reference to the science fiction film The Matrix.
• The examine text on the monkey bars says "Now, I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle VIP," This is a reference to the classic Disney film The Jungle Book.
• The examine text for one set of pillars reads: "It's a small step for a player, a giant leap for player kind," a reference to Neil Armstrong's words as the first man on the moon. Armstrong had said,"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
