One of the core activities within RuneScape Dragonwilds is available from the very beginning: chopping trees, mining ore, and cooking simple meals. These constitute the basis for your adventure, and the more you perform them, the better you become at them. You’ll later unlock new skills that will significantly enhance gameplay.
Surviving in Dragonwilds isn’t easy at all- especially if you had a huge dragon trying to hunt you down. As you rise through the ranks, you will grow into valuable skills, from increased crafting efficiency to archery incentives once you have acquired your first bow. With that, here you have the full list of unlockable survival skills in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
