Random events
A variety of random events can take place in the game. Jagex maintains that this is to help prevent macro programs. They can also add variety to some of the more repetitive activities in the game.
Players must respond to most of these in the correct manner or will receive a negative effect (such as being teleported across the map) Some of these negative effects can be quite annoying, but most can be easily avoided if players are paying attention. Some random events will also give players a reward if they react appropriately. The random events which give rewards are generally far more popular. Some players dislike random events which can give penalties but no rewards and consider them annoying hindrances.
The Brimhaven agility arena provides a set of 25 platforms connected by various agility obstacles. About once every 30 seconds or so a ticket dispenser on a random platform starts flashing. Tagging N flashing ticket dispensers in a row gives a player N-1 tickets. Tickets may be turned in for agility experience or other prizes. The arena costs 200 gold to enter, and may be entered with an agility level of 1. Obstacles within the arena require level 1, level 20, or level 40 agility experience to cross.
The Gnomeball field in the Gnome Stronghold can also be used to gain agility and ranging experience.
The Gnome Stronghold course provides the best agility experience (roughly 100 experience per minute) up to level 25 experience. (Players should store all armor, weapons, etc in the bank and wear boots of lightness (available in the Temple of Ikov) when using this course to maximize how long they can run.) From level 25 to level 53, the Skullball course will probably provide the best experience (about 250 experience per minute). (The Barbarian course provides around 200 experience per minute.
The Brimhaven arena can probably provide experience about as fast as the skullball course for players who are level 40 or higher -- players only have time to cross a few obstacles in order to tag a dispenser before it stops flashing, so being able to cross level 40 obstacles is a must. The Gnomeball field provides minimal amounts of agility and ranging.)
