Want to master every weapon in RuneScape: Dragonwilds? In this guide, you’ll learn how to craft every weapon available in the game from stone daggers to staffs and legendary greatswords. We’ll break down the materials you’ll need, where to craft them, and how to unlock each recipe as you explore the wild and dangerous world of Ashenfall.
How to Craft All Weapons
Weapons are used to deal damage to enemies and follow the classic Runescape-style combat triangle: Melee, Ranged, and Magic. Each type is strong or weak against certain foes, so keeping a well-rounded set of weapons is key to making exploration in Ashenfall smoother.
You’ll craft and repair weapons at workstations like the Crafting Table or Smithing Anvil. If your weapon breaks or its durability runs low, just bring it back to one of these spots to patch it up.
As you explore, you’ll come across enemies and treasure chests that can drop weapon recipes. Once learned, these unlock the ability to craft new weapons at the appropriate workshop.
One-Handed Weapons
One-handed weapons tend to be the most commonly used, mainly because they don’t need any ammo unlike most Magic and Ranged weapons, which require runes or arrows to function.

In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, crafting your first weapons and armor starts with building a Crafting Table, the most basic (and essential) station you’ll use throughout your journey. To make one, you’ll need just 4 Ash Logs.
You’ll unlock the Crafting Table early on by talking to Doric, who’s waiting just outside the starting area. Bring him a few Ash Logs, and he’ll teach you the recipe. Once it’s unlocked, you’ll be able to craft not only the table itself but also your first set of basic tools and weapons, like Axes, Pickaxes, and Clubs, everything you need to get started exploring the wilds of Ashenfall.
