RuneScape is a forever expanding world, so, it is quite likely that during your travels you’ve already come across the problem of wanting to navigate great distances in the shortest amount of time.

This guide lists the many ways you can travel throughout RuneScape whilst saving valuable time by avoiding excessively long walks.

The transportation icons on your mini map quickly identify the key locations. However, items such as jewellery and quest items will not be displayed as they don’t require you to be in any particular location for their use.

If you wish to move around quickly around the world of RuneScape, you can set your character to run for as long as they have sufficient energy remaining. This feature can be turned on through the option screen, read the Options section for more information, or can be done by holding the ‘CTRL‘ key on your keyboard before clicking where you wish them to move.

The higher the level of agility you have, the faster your energy will recover, effectively letting you run for longer. Players with very high levels of agility will find that they can move reasonably quickly around the world of RuneScape. This effect is in place on member and non-member servers.

The more weight you carry, the faster your energy will be drained whilst running. Thus light weight gear such as robes and Ikov’s Boots of Lightness are recommended attire if you are planning on running long distances. You can check your run energy by clicking on the running man icon at the bottom of your player interface.

Members may also restore their energy by these methods:

Gnomes around the world delight at travel, but, they simply hate having to walk everywhere. Therefore they developed a series of shortcuts. These are fairly simple to negotiate for most Gnomes, even fun, but for humans they often pose more of a challenge. However, should they succeed, a lot of walking time will be saved.

You will find such shortcuts spread throughout the world, with their details found in the Agility skill guide. The in-game skill guide also lists the shortcuts only accessible at specific agility levels, for ease of reference during play.
