Agility Changes
This update will motivate me to get my agility higher, as it looks interesting to pickpocket 4x the normal amount and catch butterflies barehanded, I already have high enough agility for the fishing ones but haven’t tried that out yet.
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.

Nice. enough said
nah but seriously they need to stop making skills easy to train for afew reasons, 1) money making is easier so yea, 2) like the rc update awhile back i liked it at first, but i kinda feel for all the 99 rcers.

Yeah the 99 RuneCrafters are a bit upset about this update. Really they should be happy because they’re already rich from getting 99 and making double Nature runes (plus a little more) is great. So really it’s somewhat supporting them.

Fair play but they spent alot of time working towards crafting multi runes like nats, now any1 can make em.

Well there’s nothing stopping the people with 99 runecrafting making more runes like we do, experience could come in handy in the future.
And I updated it now aj

I thought u would
and like if u get 99 in rc u shouldnt be allowed to craft any more runes
because they make the prices go down so ill lose cash on getting 99

apparently, the new update doesn’t make them anymore profit then making nats on a continuous basis anyway. Only like 30 more runes per load if that from a couple tries.
