19-Jan-2010 - Agility Benefits for Fishing, Hunter and Thieving

Agility has long helped adventurers excel in other skills in subtle ways – e.g. letting them run for longer while crafting runes or letting them take shortcuts to get to resources faster. Today, Agility steps up in its role as a support skill in a more direct way.

Adventurers keen on Fishing will be interested to know that a high Agility level now gives them a small chance to catch two tuna, swordfish or even sharks in one go. There’s no additional experience when this occurs, but who could say no to a free shark or two?

Similarly, adventurers with high Agility and Thieving levels now stand a chance of pickpocketing double, triple or even quadruple the usual amount of loot from unsuspecting targets.

Finally, those with exceptionally high Hunter and Agility levels can now return to the butterflies they once lumbered after with their big clumsy nets and show the amateurs how it’s really done, by catching butterflies in the palm of their hands before releasing them (just to prove they didn’t smush them). Such a display of skill and finesse will be rewarded with a large dose of Hunter experience and a little extra Agility experience too.

Again, I'm glad to see Jagex catering to the veteran players. Giving extra little perks to the skills that make them worth training again. Depending if the new butterfly method is a decent alternative to training Hunter, I might decide to head towards 99. All those chins tend to get a little cumbersome to me. Yes, I have a Runecrafting cape, but that's a little different, if you can believe it. Overall, I think it's a great update that adds a little bit more life into the skills people might have gotten bored with.

Off to the Gnome advanced course with my new horn. As well as time to get my fishing up. Hunter I already got so no need for that, but still can't wait to see the enimation when you catch one, then release it. 4/5.

the agility perks seem a lot like filler to me. kind of a shame they didn't give at least a lil bit of xp for the bonus fish and such.

A Kid asked Jesus, "How much do you love me?" and Jesus said. "This much." And spread his arms out on the cross and died. If you believe that he did this for you put this in your signature.
