All skills and unlocks in RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Here are all the things you will unlock as you grind through the various skills in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is the brand new survival co-op game from Jagex, which is now playable in early access. The game is already proving very popular with hardcore RuneScape fans, with the game being set in the same universe as both RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape. Those of you familiar with those games will recognise the skills and unlocks system in Dragonwilds.

Currently, there are a few different skills that you can get in Dragonwilds. These will change your character and the things that you can do in the world. However, while there are a few to get started on right now, these will be added too and expanded upon as the game develops with future updates. We don't know how many extra skills there could be to master when the game comes out of early access.

The game is in early access, so the skills and unlocks varies widely. However, if you start grinding now your experience will stand you in good stead for the game as it develops and evolves.

Best skills to level up first in RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Here are the three skills in RuneScape: DragonWilds that we feel you should level up first for the easiest time.

All Dragonwilds Skills and Unlocks

All the current skills and their unlocks are included below. It's important to know that Dragonwilds has a variety of rewards for levelling skills. These range from major rewards to minor rewards. So, sometimes you won't feel like you got anything particularly meaningful.

In addition, the level cap for each skill is 40. However, the cap is planned to reach 99. This is just a temporary cap while the game is in Early Access.

What we don't know yet is what happens to your XP if you reach level 40. Hopefully this will carry over but at the moment there has not been any announcement from Jagex so bear that in mind if you plan to really grind through some XP!
