RuneScape: Dragonwilds – Ver. 1.0.1

Release date: October 14th 2026
Patch notes:

Save Fixes

The big headline for this one is a range of fixes targeting the disappearing world saves we’ve seen reported, as well as a catch-up mechanic for corrupted character saves that will let you drop in with aggregated stats and Tier 4 gear to get you back in the fight. Hop in and give those a try, but we’re aware there may still be the occasional player affected by other, extraneous instances of save issues that we’re still collecting data on. We’re talking about very, very small numbers of affected players, but it matters all the same. Beyond that, let’s get into what else is coming in 1.0.1.

1.0.1 and Core Improvements

What goes up…

Introducing… the Jump Attack. It does exactly what you think it does.
- Unlock the Skill Tree perk “Death From Above!”
  - Any time you are slightly above the max height of the double jump’s arc from the ground, inputting an attack will plunge you downward to slam into unfortunate victims below. Damage scales with the weapon you have equipped, so make sure you’re holding something hefty before you leap. And yes, Windstep counts here. What goes up, must come crashing down.

I’ve Got Shooters

Added the Ranged skill perk – Ammo Recovery, and it’s Greater version later in the Skill Tree – Greater Ammo Recovery.
- Adds a chance to recover arrows from the bodies of slain enemies.
Ranged weapon subclasses are receiving their own special attack variants to make them feel more aligned with the fantasy of using the Shortbow, Longbow or Crossbow.
- Shortbow: Rapid Fire – Hop backwards and fire off three arrows in quick succession. The target can be switched between this volley of shots to spread the damage.
- Longbow: Power Shot – take a knee to draw an arrow at full strength. Let fly to loose a staggering, enormously powerful shot at great distance.
- Crossbow: Heavy Bolt – rack a bolt and let it fly after a short charge. Hits like Asgarnian Ale on an empty stomach, and applies Enchanted effects on-hit.
Introduced the Low Blow Skill Perk: Ranged attacks that hit the enemy in the legs (lower third of the body or their legs) applies “Hamstrung” which reduces enemy movement speed for a short while. Tiny and Colossal Enemies are immune.

…And The Rest

Increased inventory space from 32 to 40.
Added a toggle for the Visceral Attack Camera change.
Fixed an issue where users on mounts could not open the map correctly.
Obstacles and Enemies now respawn in the Scorned Wildnerness Raid on reset/next run-through.
Reduced aggro range for enemies across the game to prevent forming a bit of a follow-train like a Fally Drop Party.
Enemy mob respawn timers extended so they stay dead for longer as you clear areas.
Fixed an issue where users on controller were unable to sort chests with L3/LS correctly.
Polish pass on Mining nodes across the world to ensure they’re all above ground and can be mined.
Goblin “barks” (ambient noises they make) should now sound less like they’ve just seen you and are yelling.
Improvements on the Sort functionality – Weight, Type and Latest.
- Weight: Cumulative Stack Weight, Heaviest First.
- Type: Categories of item, alphabetically.
- Latest: The most recently picked up items first.
Adding a dedicated Ring AND Amulet slot.
- Thanks to Thurnax, NeganTWD, Cloud_N0ne and others who suggested this.
The Amulet of Glory was providing additional bonuses above what was initially intended, so we’re tapping those numbers back down to better align with what we wanted it to be.
We’re adding the Ultra Compost Bin – because “Super” just wasn’t cutting it anymore.
Adding the Large Compost Bucket, which has a larger capacity.
- Now stop asking.
Adding a Completed Quests tab including a short summary of the outcome of the quest.
Overdrive can now be cast on the Advanced Spinning Wheel.
Rune Arrows and Bolts now do more damage than Adamant. 4.9x versus 4.2x.
The Fishing Cape now correctly displays the Skillcape Perk – You have a small chance to instantly catch a fish.
Removed the ability to rebind keybinds for settings that could soft lock the player in certain instances:
- Interaction
  - Remove Spell
- Building
  - Cancel Building
  - Quick Interact
- Crafting
  - Crafting Tab Left/Right
- Quest Dialogue
  - Continue Conversation
  - Cancel Conversation
  - Select Answer 1/2/3/4
