I'm a bit skeptical of the 36k-40k estimate for the advanced course, unless it scales with level somehow. I've been doing it with pretty good attention at between 0:59-1:02 for most laps for the past hour and a half, and I'm only getting a max of like 35k/hr (at 80 Agility, if that turns out to have an impact)
—Submitted via Article feedback

Adding some additional info to the above...

Assuming the perfect lap time is 0:59 + 3 seconds between each lap, the absolute maximum number of laps/hour is 58 for 39,774 xp/hr. That's an absolute maximum, and IMO is not realistic to put for what a person could reasonably "expect" from the course. I propose changing this to something like 35k-38k/hr instead, which would be average lap times of 1:08 and 1:02 respectively (+ the 3 seconds between laps). IMO this is a much more realistic figure for what a normal player is likely to receive, even if an extra sweaty player could theoretically get an additional 1700 xp/hr over this.

Decided to just update the page with the theoretical maximums and avoid the whole question of how much attention we're assuming in the first place. Alynnidalar (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

The total experience for the hard course is 684.6 per lap. And though the time to complete is 0:59, when you include the run back to the start it takes a total of 105 ticks per lap for 57.14 laps per hour

Worm Tongue says the global best time for the basic course is 53.4 seconds, and the advanced course is 58.8 seconds, yet the wiki states that "With perfect attentiveness the basic course can be completed in 0:54.6. The advanced course can be completed in 0:59.4" Why are the world records 1.2 seconds (2 ticks) quicker for the basic course and 0.6 seconds (1 tick) quicker for the advanced course?

There are advanced methods to movement that are generally used to break records, rather than as a practical means to train. -- Recent uploads SpineTalkContribs 17:37, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Advanced course reward rates

[edit source]

I don't believe the rate to receive termites is 1/2.25, and thus neither the average of 4 termites per lap — the previous figures seemed correct (rate 1/3, average of 3 termites per lap).
The blessed bone shards also seemed relatively accurate, claiming 7 shards per lap (700 per 100 laps).

It seems likely to scale with level then, because all of my laps were done at level 91 agility. I know my sample is much smaller but it just seems way too lucky for me if its 1/3. WevinBingus (talk) 20:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Updated table values. --Fhhhphgj (talk) 06:09, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Here are some values for lower agility levels:

Seems to be basically the same.

I received 9 termites completing the advanced course (going up rather than across the tightrope)

Under the termite section, there's no information on average termite gain over an hour etc (particularly relevant when it comes to how many marks of grace you can get from trading amylase packs).

Termites spawn on your active route

[edit source]

I have carefully marked all termites with object marker because i didnt want to miss out on lower level termites.it however seems that it only spawns on routes you've recently taken. this would mean after x amount of high tier laps it doenst spawn on lower tiers anymore maybe there is a specific amount of minutes spent on one specific route recently for it to always span on the chosen route.

this might need more observational testing First ODinn (talk) 16:24, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

The below part on xp/per hr states: "With perfect attentiveness, the [..] advanced course can be completed in 0:58.20" - This is misleading as without tick manipulation you can't get faster than 59.4 with perfect attentiveness. This should either be rephrased to say "with tick manipulation" or added as addendum so people can expect real rates, rather than tick manipulating a mid tier course to save 2 ticks a lap.


With perfect attentiveness, the basic course can be completed in 0:54.6 for a total of 62 completions per hour (including 3.6 seconds of downtime between laps) for a maximum of 31,181 xp/hr. The advanced course can be completed in 0:58.20 for a total of 57 completions per hour (including 3.6 seconds of downtime between laps) for a maximum of 42,834 xp/hr.

Basic Course Reward Rates

[edit source]

I did the basic course from 56 to 61 Agility to collect the 650 termites for the recolor, which took 251 laps. The article isn't very clear when it comes to the basic course.

Laps Agility Termites Bone Shards
1~60 56-58 131 253
61~120 58-59 181 308
121~180 59-60 198 455
181~240 60-61 117 271
1~251 56~61 653 1364

Termites per lap: 2.6

Bone Shards per lap: 5.4

The sample size is quite small. If the fourth hour had had similar luck to the 3rd hour these would be way higher. Maybe more people can add to the data later.

I hit 57 after climbing the ladder on my fifth lap. So, I went from 203,244 exp to 327,757 in 247 laps, about 31k/hr like the article says.

[edit source]

The post doesn't say whether it was on the basic or advanced course. The comment about 400 laps is from the advanced course, but a lap time of 58 seconds is from the basic course. On the advanced course, with this sample size it could be a lucky streak (1 in 2000 or something). On the other hand, if there is some termite cooldown manipulation that's possible, then it would be an unlucky streak (e.g. if accounting for cooldowns raised it from a 1/3 chance for termites to a 1/2, getting 1590 in 308 runs would be almost impossibly unlucky). There's also no mention of how many times they got termites, so "got termites more often than usual" and "got more termites per drop than usual" are both possibilities. More thorough testing would be needed I think.

More data

[edit source]

Between lvl 80 and 81 agility, I got 1596 termites and 2664 bone shards in 374 advanced laps.
