New Region and Boss

RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1.0 introduces a major new region, the Scorned Wilderness, which is home to Kuldra, the God Eater, the long-awaited end-game boss for players to tackle. This Dragon Queen has five heads and is a fearsome foe to encounter, and while you've already battled her lieutenants and dealt with her presence on the way here, she's finally available to encounter directly and fight!

Full Combat Rework

Combat in RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1.0 will move noticeably differently than in the past, with the addition of a camera dead zone, Visceral Strikes, which allow for follow-up attacks after parrying (can also use spec attacks or dodge in this same timing window), Sprint Attacks, which allow for more movement expression, and the ability to cancel out of animations like attacks, gathering, and spellcasting by dodging or blocking. Combine this with new spells, new weapons, and more new additions, and players will quickly notice there's plenty of new exciting depth for fighting.

New Gear & Items

RuneScape fans will be happy to see tons of new and exciting weapons, armors, and other items returning in Dragonwilds with 1.0. This includes Rune gear, Black Dragonhide (D-Hide), Ancestral gear, and Dragon gear! This also includes the addition of Wands, a new magic weapon type that offers a more mobile playstyle in combat while still knocking enemies down, applying burns, and building up slows.
