For example, a player at 72 Agility can eat a bite of a Summer pie at the end of Floor 3 to gain entry to Floor 4. - Floor 5's Grand Coffin now requires 84 Thieving _or_ 92 Agility to open. Boosting can be used for both requirements. Colossal Wyrm Agility course - Increased the duration of the Colossal Wyrm Agility course: - The basic course by ~25%. - The advanced course by ~40%. - Increased XP, Bone shards and Termites to match so that it's roughly the same XP/hr and termites/hr but fewer inputs/hr, meaning the course is lower intensity than before. New Agility Shortcuts - Level 49 - There is now a small gap in the west side of the Draynor Manor fence that you can pass through. - Level 52 - Added stepping stones across the River Lum, just south of the Champion's Guild. - Level 54 - You can now use the new shortcut on the south-west side of Giant's Plateau to climb up and down, providing easy access to and from the desert. - Level 60 - Added a pipe at the southern edge of Edgeville Dungeon, cutting down on travel time if you've lost your Brass key. - Level 52 & 62 - This new shortcut at the central area of the top and middle floors of the Arceuus Library allows you to jump down to the bottom floor. - Level 79 - Located north of Sophanem, we've added stepping stones for those of you who need to cross the River Elid in a flash. - Level 82 - Thanks to these new stepping stones at the small island north of Mos le'Harmless, your least favourite Treasure Trail step just got a whole lot better. - Level 83 - Added a shortcut west of Pollnivneach, allowing quick access from Ali the Hag's hut to the nearby plateau. Adjustments to several grapple/crossbow shortcuts so they no longer require any equipment to use: (As a result, their level requirements have been increased accordingly.)
