MMO player grinds god-awful minigame tokens for 8 years, breaks … – PC Gamer


First reported by GamesRadar (opens in new tab), an Old School RuneScape player with the handle NC State (presumably not an official representative of the Raleigh-based university) finally sought his reward for grinding an infamous minigame, the Brimhaven obstacle course, for eight years. As outlined by a friend, user h0dgep0dge (opens in new tab) on Reddit, NC State finally brought his journey home, turning in all of his banked rewards at once and gaining 178 million XP in RuneScape’s suboptimal Agility skill in less than a minute. This was such a rapid influx that the game’s built-in experience per hour tracker couldn’t keep up: it tapped out at 2.147 billion even though NC State was progressing at a rate of 10.8 billion per hour.

Agility in RuneScape is not exactly the long-running MMO’s sexiest skill: It’s associated with cool rogue stuff like the Graceful Outfit (opens in new tab) in-game, but mechanically it just gives you more stamina and lets you access assorted shortcuts throughout the map. One of the primary ways you can level it up is the Brimhaven Agility Arena, a kind of skill vendor minigame.
