So after listening to the runefest QnA they confirmed it will be a multy year journey and much more. There is going to be a ton of content guys. Man I wish i went to sleep and woke up and all updates were here . As far as I understood after defeating the big dragon things will change on the continent.

Seeing some of yalls builds inspired a wizards tower, trying to build higher but probably reached limit of stone

I have played RuneScape on and off since the days of classic. Probably have 20,000+ hours across RS and OSRS..

I jumped into DragonWilds from the get go, and have never really been disappointed… Sure, frustration with few things but some already have or will get ironed out eventually.

I was just thinking, what does it feel like to play DragonWilds? How does it compare to the blissful years of my youth spent playing RuneScape?

Well, without trying to sound corny, it’s almost like living a dream… Growing up spending a lot of hours in the world of Gielinor, it was only natural that some nights I dreamt of being inside the world of RuneScape.. And not just clicking around with a mouse…

In some ways, DragonWilds has delivered on that dream… A more interactive and immersive world of RuneScape.

Thank you Jagex and the DragonWilds team. 😊

I realise that the wonderful people that are the creators of these games we love probably hear this constantly, however I want to take the chance to speak as I haven't done so before.

Thank you. For all the work, passion and care you all put into this game that we all love, I haven't been obsessed with a game in quite some time (probably about a decade) and this has reignited a spark of creativity and adventure for me. I look forward to your future updates, and am very excited to see what comes next for us all come 1.0.

Much love,

A currently (very) sandy mage ☀️🏜️

I somehow got knocked out of bounds from a fight with a dragon and have spent an absurd amount of time trying to recreate this in the past week...unsuccessfully. While out of bounds, by the time I was heading north and got took the last screenshot, I realized "if I die, I might not be able to get to my grave" freaked out and escape teleported out.

The dunes are really really huge outside and they do just cut off to what I assume is a huge drop to death on the edge. There is no scorch effect and some random "gaps" between them where you can fall through and most likely die.

The most interesting thing I found is that Fuzan's volcano and the mountains we can see way off in the distance are not skybox but actual 3D shapes. I think that I would have been able to jump to where the one on the far East was, but don't know if it is solid or if I'll fall though. It is nice to know they are real 3D textures instead of 2D skybox material.

There was a Twitch stream earlier today on the RuneScaoe, Old School RuneScape, and RSDragonwilds channels that teased a bit about what's to come at RuneFest as well as acted as a dev Q&A. I'm not going to do a full transcript of the interview with Mod Dutch and Mod Doom. This is simply highlighting the new information related to the game they were able to give.

• Release window on when 1.0 will be available on each console.

No word YET, but they do have figured them out and will be announcing them at a later date.

• What can be revealed about the future of Dragonwilds?

1.0 brings the story of Kuldra to an end, but not the end of Ashenfall's story. Ashenfall is a land full of ancient magics and bountiful resources that is still unknown to Gielinor as a whole. The story about how those ancient magics are defeated and how Ashenfall is going to be revealed to the rest of Gielinor is the story that's going to come next. It is a multi-year story. We'll get a bit more information closer to launch with details coming during RuneFest.

• Any word on the Agility Update?

This wasn't brought up during the stream, so unfortunately not. Only putting this point here cause I'm sure some of y'all would ask. A big part of the reason I wanted to watch was to see if there was any information on this yet.

There wasn't any other information revealed. Mod Doom struggled not to spoil anything they weren't ready to reveal. If you are reading this Mod Doom, you did good. While I was hoping for some information on the Agility Update, hearing the cliff notes on what's to come after 1.0 has me excited. I can't wait to see what the team has been cooking up during RuneFest!

What makes this game so special to me is the fact that I have been a runescape player since more than 15 years now and getting to explore the universe in third person as a survival game is like a deep breath of fresh air and scratches an itch I didn’t know I had.

I can’t help but do some wishful thinking from time to time that one day I’ll be able to explore the entirety of Gielinor in the same way. I’m not saying turn this into RS4, actually I prefer Dragonwilds remains it’s own unique thing but with the RS magical touch all around it.

However, if you had the chance to experience any content from the original game in the dragonwilds universe, what would it be? It could be a quest, an area, a specific skilling activity, anything. Personally, I would love being able to explore the Falador castle, play through the desert treasure quest, or even do archeology as a way to learn more about the lore.

I think I literally got it on drop rate, not sure if theres an exact place to see my red dragon kc. Still gonna try for the skills necklace tho.

they basically just teased the addition of ancient magicks in the future

I've been checking this subreddit daily for new posts from the mods. When can we expect some kind of post about the upcomming agility update? 😭

I love this game so much, having played over 700 hours, but man... what is up with the fishing skill? The XP rates, node spawns, skill cooldowns, and collection mechanism are quite bad when compared to the other skills in this game. I'm really surprised there has not been any update yet to address the many issues... I understand RS players enjoy grinds (I've played RS since '04), but the skill is so "off" when compared to the others (which feel like way more reasonable grinds). Fishing is one of my favorite skills in RS and I was so excited for it to be added to Dragonwilds, but its current state is disappointing.

Every skill in this game is part of the core gameplay loop, combat, artisan, woodcutting, cooking, mining, runecrafting, etc. are core gameplay requirements. While you certainly don't have to level all these skills very high if you don't want to, you consistently train and interact with them simply by playing the game and collecting the required materials. Conversely, fishing (and arguably Farming) are not at all required and can be completely ignored; but at least with Farming you get large amounts of food and materials, the skill can be done very passively at your base, has extremely useful spells, and has great xp rates... Fishing, however, is very inconvenient, time consuming, has awful xp rates, and food can be obtain from way easier and faster methods..

Let's compare Fishing to Mining (using Umbral Sands as the highest xp):

1. Nodes
   1. There are over 50 Addy nodes in Umbral sands (in addition to stone and gypsum)
   2. There are 7 rod fishing nodes
2. XP
   1. One Addy ore gives 151xp and there are at times 10-15 ores on one single node, with multiple nodes within a few feet. You can get 1500-2000xp from a single node in like 30 seconds without the spell (much more with xp boosts).
   2. Beltfish, for example, give 60xp each, require a crafted bait, take like 30 seconds per fish, and you can only catch like 8 of them before the node disappears... You can get less than 500 xp in like 4-5 minutes...
3. Spells
   1. Mining has an explosion spell that lets you destroy 20+ addy ores at once on a 60 second cooldown (you can get well over 3k xp in one click every 60 seconds)
   2. Even when leveled up, Fishnado has a 200 second cooldown, only catches like 8 fish, and then the node is on a long cooldown alongside the spell
4. Collection mechanism
   1. Mining is fast and gives xp every single click (24+ xp per click, more on a crit)... even when your explosion spell is on cooldown, you can get thousands of xp per minute hitting multiple ore at once, and ore is plentiful and everywhere
   2. Fishing requires a slow-ish minigame for 60 xp... its so bad that net fishing (which should just be used for bait collection), provides significantly better xp rates than rod fishing.

I'm just venting at this point but it is really confusing how completely different fishing is from the rest of the skills in terms of material collection, spell cooldowns, and xp rates. The irony with the above list is, mining has a significantly better xp rate and collection method and availability, but is so integral to the core gameplay loop (especially if you like building) that I have over 1.6M xp in it... over 600K xp over 99. Meanwhile, I have no real incentive to fish due to the availability of other food options, so the issues above just make fishing really a non-starter. You would think the really inconvenient skill that you won't 99 naturally in the gameplay loop would be the skill with the much better xp rate...

Recommendations:

Jagex could easily correct these issues by increasing rod fishing xp by like 5x, increasing the number of fishing nodes significantly, increasing their spawn rate, letting you catch 2, 3,4 fish at a time for 2x, 3x, 4x XP, introducing some kind of trap and leave mechanic to introduce a passing "farming-esque" method, and reducing the fishnado and frenzy spell cooldown to like 1/5 the current cooldown... I really hope before 1.0 they make some changes to fishing.

Hey everyone, just got into Dragonwilds about a week ago and loving it so much right now. I have a question, is there a way to push fallen logs around into a bunch so you can use splinter on more logs? Ill chop down multiple trees with axtral projection and they end up falling in multiple different directions and rolling away from each other. It's not a massive deal by any means but just wondering if I can move them at all. Thanks!

What food do you guys use?

I tend to like the salmon and tomato meal, I forget what it is called but it has sea life perk for health regen. It also jas lower sustenance and like 160hp heal

I don't really use some of the other buffs. Veg Roll I used for a while for experience boost

What other useful foods/buffs are good?

I basically use pumpkin spice drink for exploring and ferocious drink for fighting.

Potions I only ever found the ones for xp boost for specific skills. I use them occasionally and the antiposion when in bloodblight swamp

I understand its not mmo or meet new people in game, right? Is it a solo game that you can invite friends too? Does it have quests? If so how is the story?

Unfortunately, im severely limited by the ram on this specific device. If you were to run this on a gen 5 snapdragon with 24gb of ram, it would easily lock a stable 60fps. This is also without a thermo electric cooler which would stop from thermal throttle (which is causing all the stutter). I still have a long way to go with the driver but it's certainly playable in its current state.

I could not find a list of what crops were the best to plant for leveling farming XP, so I tested it out and planted all of them except for berries. I was using the 30% XP potion, 10% XP food, and the 5% XP ring when I did this.

Hello i dont know how to explain but when i leave my mount "The bird" after he runs my screen has alot of bright becouse of the "speed" and u get some waves around the screen.
After i dismount my screen goes a little black then its ok again. But after i mount run and dismount,

Is this only me ???

I went afk in my base and when I came back was respawned at the starting church. I teleported back to my base, picked up my gravestone and there was only wood from where my base walls had been destroyed. I am on hard mode, is there any way to get my stuff back?

The biggest one to me is terrain/mapping tools. Even some very simple stuff would go an incredibly long way towards longevity for the game, making fan expansions a billion times easier.

Imagine the "recreate the layout of osrs Gielinor" projects, we could finally get to run from lumby to varrock and get rocked by some garou or dark wizards.

Im not super familiar with the details, but i dont think this would be too awful to implement? its unreal engine which is friendly to this type of thing generally, so im hopeful.

Theres many more official modding tools that would be great, but this is the one that feels essential to me. What else?

Is there a database that shows every furniture / building vestige that was added with Umbral Sands.. can't seem to find it on the wiki or anywhere else..

Why is the ability to make signs not in the game? I simply want to label my chests on the outside so I can quickly identify them without opening them. Like the signs in Valheim. And I haven't seen a mod for this either. I did see another reddit post where someone said you can just put a large chest on a post and it will create white floating text. This is unacceptable! I just want basic customizable signs for labeling things.
