RuneScape: Dragonwilds new update expands Agility Skill. He's got some moves 29 July 2026 Today, Jagex: The RuneScape Company announced that Update 0.12.1 for the survival-crafting game RuneScape: Dragonwilds is now available to players. The update introduces a complete overhaul of the Agility skill, as well as a number of quality-of-life updates, highly requested by players currently enjoying the game during its early access period. With Update 0.12.1, the Agility skill has been given a full upgrade, from new ways to improve the skill and gain XP, to new skill spell allocation, and more: New Challenges and Rewards: Six new fixed-route Agility courses have been added with leaderboards for players to challenge for the fastest times and climb the ranks. Gold Medal times now come with new displayable gold medals, as well as Gold-Trimmed versions of the regional capes for mastering each course. New Mechanics: Players can now add a horizontal dash to their double jump, with the ability to unlock a secondary horizontal dash at high levels. As well, they'll gain passive XP while running around the world on foot. And finally, the update introduces a new breakfall mechanic for non-fatal falls, allowing players to tuck, roll, and keep moving. New Skill Spells: Windstep is no longer a Runecrafting reward, but now an agility spell! As the spell is upgraded, players will create a shockwave on landing. New Shortcuts: Discoverable throughout the world, players can dig up Kebbit Burrows, which open up tunnels allowing them quick access between burrow points across the map. Improved Features: Players can now move more freely than ever before, with massively increased vertical jump height and improved air control, and reduced fall damage making traversal faster and more forgiving. As Agility levels increase, less stamina is consumed while sprinting. Higher skill levels also unlock increased carrying capacity, allowing players to haul more resources on their adventures. In addition to improvements to the Agility Skill, the team has also deployed a number of core, UI, and skill upgrades, including improved responsiveness when blocking, damage telegraph time, and ammo switching functionality. Players will now also have reduced movement while casting certain spells, and the Mystic Forge will now allow players to upgrade Masterworks and Weapons to higher tiers. What is RuneScape: Dragonwilds? Completely separate from the beloved RuneScape MMORPG, and the first game from Jagex' iconic mediaeval franchise to come to console, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open-world crafting and survival game that sends solo players or teams of up-to-four across Ashenfall, a previously unexplored continent in Gielinor. They'll explore Ashenfall's many varied and wondrous regions to uncover the source of a wild, transformative magic spreading across the fractured land. Harnessing the anima-rich landscape, players can wield powerful spells in combat and use magic to gather resources, craft gear and shelters, and aid their journey. Facing fierce dragons at every turn, players must level up skills, brew potions, and forge equipment as they battle their way toward the Dragon Queen herself. Add comment. No comments yet.

RuneScape begins reveals for its next league as Old School RuneScape introduces Wyrmscraig. July 29, 2026 10:30 AM That's right, dear reader, every single RuneScape game ever has something big going down, so Massivelyop'll skip the preamble and hop right into it. Massivelyop'll begin with the modern MMORPG and its newest upcoming league, which has started off the first set of its slated daily reveals in the run-up to its Monday, August 10th, launch. The league itself is known as Equilibrium, which sees players "step into an alternative reality where the God of Balance remains at the heart of the world's fate." The reveals thus far have been focused on several new relics that players will be able to unlock, while future sneak peeks will also show off more relics, blessings, and the promise of other secrets from now until August 7th. In terms of more recent additions to the MMORPG, those include the ability to freely move previously placed housing rooms, letting players customize housing floors on a room-by-room basis, several bugfixes for the mid-game rebalance, and the launch of previously discussed auction house updates such as faster price updates. Last but not least, Jagex has made the RuneScape edition of Monopoly available for pre-orders for a second time due to "incredible demand." Over in Old School RuneScape, the player-designed island of Wyrmscraig has been added as promised. The new island location boasts a new short quest, a new repeatable boss, a high-level master for the Slayer skill line, and some other pastoral pursuits such as golem crafting, sunstone mining, and goat hunting. The island's arrival is being celebrated with a Wyrmscraig-themed art contest that's open from now until August 13th.
