Jagex has officially rolled out the July 2025 update for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, bringing significant quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to this unique survival adaptation of the legendary MMORPG. The update focuses on refining gameplay mechanics while addressing player feedback from the community.

Since its surprising April 2025 debut, RuneScape: Dragonwilds has maintained strong momentum with monthly updates. The survival spinoff successfully blends classic RuneScape elements like magic systems and iconic Skills with fresh survival mechanics, creating a distinctive experience for both veterans and newcomers.

• New cooking combinations: Players can now experiment with Cabbage/Dwellberries and Raw Bird Meat/Potato pairings
