Transportation

Transportation includes all of the varied means of getting around the RuneScape realm of Gielinor.

On foot
Walking and running are the basic methods of travel. Players walk at a speed of 1 square per server cycle (0.6 second) and run at a speed of 2 squares per server cycle, both diagonally and orthogonally. The amount of weight carried determines how quickly a player's energy is drained while running. The player's Agility level determines how quickly energy is recovered while walking or standing. Pressing and holding down the 'Ctrl' key and clicking on a part of the game window or Minimap temporarily turns on run.

By shortcuts
By taking shortcuts with agility, a player is able to reach a destination faster. The higher the Agility level, the more shortcuts are available. Some common examples of agility shortcuts are:
 * Stile
 * Rope swing
 * Underwall tunnel
 * Log balance
 * Pipe squeeze
 * Rock climb
 * Stepping stones
