RuneScape: Dragonwilds Dowdun Reach update adds new region, a foreboding castle, Mythril weapons & more. Today's Dowdun Reach update for RuneScape: Dragonwilds adds a new region, new gameplay, raised skill caps, and a dark, tricky, and cursed fortress that you'll have to prepare for. The team says the new region emphasizes exploration and combat, while offering new options, new foes, and even a new resource. The castle itself is blocking the path between Fellhollow and the Umbral Sands. You can't miss it. It's big, it's dark, and it's pretty foreboding. An ancient order of knights cursed by demonic forces is within, and there's plenty of strange and dark magical energy about. The Black Knight Titan rules and he's not alone, as his forces will also be around to welcome you. In the castle, you'll find lesser blue dragons, and a lot more to discover. Mythril has been added as a new resource, with veins around throughout the fortress. Explore, mine some of those veins to be able to craft gear in the newest tier. There are eight possible Mythril weapons you can make, like a greatsword and greataxe. Use the blue dragon hides as well, to create new armor pieces. Or the mystic robes, which debut in this game with this new update. The update raises the skill cap across all skills 299, even though not all skills have Skilling content that reaches that level yet. Once the relevant content has been added, anything you have earned by Skilling up will be retroactively awarded to you, so if you do stuff now you won't lose any of your progress. With Dowdun Reach, Jagex has partnered with Shockbyte to provide dedicated private server options, with special rates. If you do rent one of these servers, they'll support six players, not for, so you can co-op even harder. In April, RuneScape: Dragonwilds marks one year in Early Access and the team promises an additional update that will add the Fishing skill (and fish), new quests, decorations, spells, and more.

On July 25th, Shockbyte launched its very own game server control panel.
