How Skills Work in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
Skills in RuneScape: Dragonwilds level up passively as you do things in the world. The more you level up a skill, the better your recipes will get and the better the buffs that you will unlock in your character.
The game launched into Early Access with 9 unique skills to level up, unlocking powerful, transformative Skill Spells to make the mundanity of survival a little more magical. That launch also included 12 unique armour sets across 3 combat styles, supported by a range of weapons up to Iron tier.
Which Skills Should You Level First?
- Which skill should I focus on first?
- Agility is the undisputed top priority. Leveling your Agility skill increases your stamina recovery rate, and it also allows you to move across the map in more efficient ways. Take any chance you have to level your Agility.
- What other skills are essential early on?
- Woodcutting, Mining, and Cooking are also essential. Woodcutting and Mining are how you get most of the materials you need for crafting, and Cooking is essential for managing your health and combat viability.
- What does Woodcutting unlock as it levels?
- At level 11, you unlock astral projection. At level 20, you unlock the ability to clear thorny vines, which opens up hidden pathways.
