The run energy system in old school runescape is absolutely atrocious and makes for a miserable player experience unless you can afford to drop money on 100s of stamina potions. The game is constantly updated to be bigger and bigger yet the amount of run energy never increases and it becomes like a chore to get to areas that don't have tele's nearby.

Why can't run energy last longer with higher agility or have a rest option similar to RS3? I despise that version of RS very much but thats one of the few things they did right.

Run energy is higher than ever. You should have played before they ruined agility, and made it useless for run energy. In the old days you actually had to work for it. The game is just getting easier and easier.

I've been playing since 2004 ... I'm taking about in Oldschool RuneScape, not RS3.

I agree its the worst aspect of osrs. Sweaty losers will defend it to death but no it needs to be seriously fixed. Even with full gracefull i need 2 stamina pots to do a herb run on all patches... @ 75 agil.

No i dont want to grind out 99 agil anytime soon i have other things to do.
No I dont have every tele in my POH yet thats my next goal BUT in order to do that you need quests done which req RUN energy, AND you need gold which reqs RUN energy!
No I dont enjoy carrying 10+ stamina pots on every f@$@ing quest i do in this game it takes up precious space and is a pain in the ass.


there is no issue biggest than the run system. Fix it sooner than later jagex.

Having played since 2003 (on this account), I fully support an adjustment to how run energy is managed. It's tough at early levels for new players. Jagex has had some bad ideas when it came to managing this (thinking of the old fatigue system in which the player had to carry around a sleeping bag!).

When Jagex introduced 'resting' it was a small QoL addition that gave a substantial breath of fresh air. I understand some people have reservations about making changes to the game, however, there are certainly changes that improve the experience for everyone. We want to welcome new players and keep them. Being outright dismissive won't get us anywhere.

Here's me wishing RS3 went back to how stamina used to be, which is how it currently is in OSRS I'm guessing.

The energy update back in the day was one of the worst updates in my opinion. It was up there with the original Wilderness PvP & trade limitations and Silverhawk Boots. It killed any need for the Agility skill and stamina potions to exist. The darn thing is, this still hasn't been addressed!

Hell, if that wasn't bad enough, we even have spa pools that offer constant 100% stamina! There must be some really niche situations that any player would need to use these pools. To me, they're completely dead content. The musicians we see around the world can be useful from time to time, but again, very rarely needed.
