RuneScape: Dragonwilds revamps the agility skill and gives you Wipeout style courses to test your mettle on
Skills in RuneScape have always tickled me because of the sheer variety on display, and this extends to Dragonwilds too. There's magic, but then there's woodcutting. You've got prayer, and also fishing. And of course you've got runecrafting, or agility. It's that last one that's important for today's purposes, as a new update has arrived in Dragonwilds that revamp the skill, as well as add in…
RuneScape's Dragonwilds has revamped the agility skill, introducing new features and courses for players to enjoy. Agility has always been a diverse skill, offering a range of options from magic to woodcutting, prayer, fishing, and runecrafting. This new update focuses on the latter, adding exciting enhancements to the gameplay.
In addition to a double jump, players can now utilize a horizontal dash to swiftly navigate treacherous areas. Advanced players may unlock a second dash, making movement even more effortless. While walking around, players will still earn passive XP for the skill. Furthermore, fall damage has been reduced, and a new breakfall mechanic allows players to roll upon landing, maintaining momentum.
Other agility-related updates include the spell Windstep becoming an agility spell rather than a runecrafting reward. Players can also access Kebbit Burrows, which serve as shortcuts between various locations on the map. Additionally, jump height has increased, offering greater control in the air. As agility levels rise, players will experience less stamina consumption while sprinting and have a larger carrying capacity.
To test players' agility skills, RuneScape has introduced six Wipeout-style courses, complete with leaderboards. Players can aim for gold medal times, earning displayable medals and gold-trimmed regional capes upon completion. These courses may appeal to those who appreciate the viral Robloxian/asset-flip Steam game style, all wrapped in a fantasy setting with wizards sporting amusing hats performing impressive flips.
The agility update is now available in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
