Type		agility course

The Ardougne Rooftop Agility Course is a Rooftop Agility Course located above the Ardougne marketplace available to players with an Agility level of 90 or over. It is preceded by the Rellekka Rooftop Course. Players stop failing this course at 96 Agility.

The Ardougne Rooftop Agility course can be started by climbing the Wooden Beams outside of the house next to the Gem stall in the south-east corner of the marketplace in East Ardougne.

Players get 889 experience from completing the entire course, which includes 625 experience upon completion of a lap. It is currently the highest level rooftop Agility course in the game.

The Dorgesh-Kaan Agility Course offers a similar experience rate to the Ardougne course; however, Ardougne is preferred because it does not require energy potions while training. This is due to the energy restoration that happens between obstacles, which does not happen at the non-rooftop courses. In addition, the course is easier to complete as it requires less concentration.

Being the last rooftop course, it has a very high chance of spawning marks of grace, as well as having the highest experience rate per hour. A full lap of this course can be completed in 45.6 seconds (76 ticks) making the maximum experience per hour 70,184 assuming perfect laps.

Using this course alone, levelling up from level 90 to 99 would require 9,695 laps, meaning roughly 123 hours at the maximum hourly rate. There is also a ~26% chance of receiving the giant squirrel pet when using this course from level 90 to 99, which is a substantial portion of the ~44% chance of getting the pet from level 1 to level 99, using the standard courses.

On this course, marks of grace only spawn on one spot, so the player can continue to run the course without picking them up almost indefinitely: marks will stack and only despawn if the player stops using the course for about 10 minutes. However, as a precaution, it is recommended to pick up the marks every so often. Also note that the marks acquired before hopping worlds will despawn after 10 minutes.

Completing the elite Ardougne Diary will increase the chance of receiving marks of grace on this course by 25%. With the completion of the elite Ardougne Diary, players can on average expect to receive marks of grace every 2750 xp gained on the course. This translates to 22.6 marks per hour with perfect laps or roughly 1 mark every 3.5 laps.

Marks only spawn when completing the last obstacle. They will spawn on either a 3-minute timer or have a 50% chance of spawning every 2 minutes if the elite Ardougne Diary is completed. This results in a theoretical maximum of 20 tokens per hour without the diary, and 25 per hour with the diary. These theoretical rates can be achieved by using a timer and avoiding jumping the last obstacle until either a 2-minute or 3-minute timer runs out.

It is possible to complete the course before level 90 Agility using temporary skill boosts. The player's Agility level needs to be boosted to at least 90 only when attempting the first, second and fourth obstacles, because the other obstacles are impossible to fail even at levels below 90. Summer pies temporarily raise the Agility level by 5, and agility potions by 3.

Summer pies

The use of summer pies at the Ardougne Rooftop Course is very popular. With summer pies you can start using this course from level 85 Agility.

Summer pies used with Preserve prayer enabled, optimal mouse-clicking, and zero obstacle failures

Level	Laps per summer pie	Experience	Summer pies
85 to 86	3.6	339,198	119
86 to 87	7.2	374,502	66
87 to 88	10.8	413,482	49
88 to 89	14.4	456,519	40
89 to 90	18	504,037	36
		Total	310

When using the summer pie/preserve prayer technique, swap out as many pieces of Weight-reducing clothing for Prayer items instead without allowing your weight to increase above 0 kg. It is advisable to even wield mainhand slot and shield slot items that will boost your prayer bonus (whereas normally one would not wield a weapon or shield while training Agility in rooftop courses).
