Fastest Ways To Max Every Skill in Runescape: Dragonwilds

There are a total of nine different skills that can be maxed out in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Each of these skills can be leveled up individually to earn all sorts of newer skills to help your journey along Ashenfall. However, maxxing them out as fast as possible is definitely the way to go when you’ve got a poison Dragon Queen flying overhead.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds Skill Tree

The RuneScape: Dragonwilds skills are:

Attack
Magic
Ranged
Mining
Woodcutting
Artisan
Construction
Cooking
Runecrafting

Each of these skills has the potential to reach level 99. However, in early access, neither of the skills has abilities up to that level, and some do not even have skill trees implemented yet.

Attack

So long as you are a melee expert, maxing your Attack should be no problem. Dragonwilds doesn’t attach you to a particular character build, so you can switch between attack, magic, and ranged. So, the easiest and fastest way to max out the early access version of Dragonwilds’ skill tree is just to use a melee weapon whenever you attack an enemy.

There are 11 current abilities within the Attack skill tree that grant you additional skills. These include:

Level	Skill	Description
5	Parry	When you block an attack at the last moment, parry instead.
8	Special Action	Unlocks additional special actions.
11	Tempest Shield	Conjure a Shielf of Air Magic using 15 Air Runes at a 60-second cooldown.
16	Weapon Expertise	Unlocks additional melee attacks.
20	Enchant Weapon: Fire	Enchant your weapon with fire using 15 Fire Runes and 5 Astral Runes at a 90-second cooldown.
23	Adaptability	Evading or blocking doesn’t interrupt combos.
27	Weapon Rack	Craft a Weapon Rack.
30	Enchant Weapon: Air	Enchant your weapon with fire using 15 Air Runes and 5 Astral Runes at a 90-second cooldown.
34	Lesser Potion of Attack	Unlock the ability to craft Whetstones at the Crafting Table.
37	Training Dummy	Unlock Training Dummy.
40	Whetstone	Unlock being able to craft Whetstones at the Crafting Table.

Magic

Currently, Magic does not have any skill levels. So, there aren’t any skill levels to make a note of. The fastest way to max out your magic is to use a staff instead of a bow or melee weapon. Using this as your main weapon will gradually level up your magic, so when the game does implement its skill tree, you’ll already be ahead of many other players who didn’t bother to try.

Ranged

Ranged also doesn’t have a skill tree to follow. However, like other weapons, the fastest way to max this out is to use a ranged weapon. Just like magic, I recommend levelling up Ranged as much as possible to take advantage of all the abilities and additional skills you’ll earn from it.

Mining

Mining and Woodcutting are among the first skills you’ll easily be able to level up. This is because to even begin working on getting armor and weapons, you need to grab a few stones and do some mining. At the beginning of your experience, you’ll earn mining skill points just by picking up stones to build or craft things. Realistically, this is among my most levelled-up skills because I ensure to grab just about every stone I come across just for that little bit of additional EXP.

There are six total ability points that grant you additional mining skills, and these include:

Level	Skill	Description
5	Lift With Your Hips	the weight of some materials is reduced by 25%.
11	Rocksplosion	Break rocks apart with a power blast using 15 Earth Runes and 5 Fire Runes at a 45-second cooldown.
16	Gem Prospector	Mining ore can generate more gemstones.
20	Mine Crumbled Walls	Knock down crumbling walls with a pickaxe.
24	Detect Ore + Clay	Use the stone gos to help you find ores and clay with 5 Astral Runes and 5 Earth Runes at a ten-second cooldown.
36	Not-So-Heavy Metal	Metal ore weight is reduced by 25%.

Woodcutting

Woodcutting is also incredibly easy to max out, as you must gather ash wood at the very beginning of the game. And, like mining, you earn additional EXP just by picking up wood from the floor. So, the fastest way to max out the skill is similar to mining in that you must pick up every piece of wood you see. Of course, as you build axes, using those will help you achieve even more wood and EXP.

There are also six ability points that players can reach, including:

Level	Skill	Description
4	Overhead Chop	Allows you to perform an overhead chop that drops with more power.
11	Axtral Projection	Use 5 Astral Runes and 10 Air Runes to conjure an astral axe for 45-seconds.
16	Bird Nests	You can find birds nests in felled trees.
20	Chop Thorny Vines	You can use a hatchet to chop down thorny vines.
27	Splinter	Chop felled trees easily with 5 Nature Runes and 10 Earth Runes at a 45-second cooldown.
40	Lumber Storage	You can find bird nests in felled trees.

Artisan

The Artisan skill can be easily maxed out by continuously using your crafting table. Since you can use the table to create new weapons and armor and even repair them, earning that additional bit of EXP is easy. So, whenever you earn additional ability points that give you more things to craft, make them and continuously repair them to make the most out of each crafting table visit.

There are only four ability points that grant additional skills in the artisan category, including:

Level	Skill	Description
11	Bark to Bones	With 10 Nature Runes and 10 Earth Runes, you can transmute a tree into bones.
20	Superheat	With 15 Fire Runes and 5 Air Runes, boost fire-based crafting stations.
27	Magical Mending	With 10 Nature Runes and 20 Earth Runes, instantly repair your items.
40	Decorated Adventurer	Unlocks armor mannequin crafting recipe.

Construction

Leveling up your Construction comes from how often you decide to build things. It can be hard to max out because you only build structures or craft recipes when you need them. It’s not like stones or wood pieces that you can passively earn EXP on by walking by and picking them up.

Personally, the easiest way to max out this skill is to create decorations for your base continuously. That way, even though you’ve already crafted and built everything you actually need, you can still earn Constructon EXP. There are eight abilities that can be learned from the Construction skill tree, including:

Level	Skill	Description
3	Middle Ground	Medium-sized buildings.
5	Fine Details	Small buildings.
8	Sacred Geometry	Triangular buildings.
11	Eye of Oculus	Use a fly-cam to build structures.
16	Creature Comforts	More furniture and decorations.
18	Oak	Oak building pieces.
20	Summon Shelter	With 10 Astral Runes and 10 Earth Runes, construct a temporary shelter with a bed.
40	Personal Chest	With 20 Law Runes and 10 Earth Runes you can access your storage chest from anywhere.

Cooking

Because so much of the game relies on ensuring you’re focusing on your hunger and thirst, the Cooking skill is another relatively easy skill to max out. As you hunt animals or find potatoes or cabbages across the land, you can mix and match them in your kitchen to create various meals.

The fastest way to max this skill out is to find a body of water to settle down by, create a campfire, and collect as much dirty water as possible. Then, filter the dirty water to clean water using the campfires, and continue cycling this. You’re going to need the water anyway, and the higher your Cooking skill, the more buffs you’ll receive, including:

Level	Skill	Description
11	Fancy Cookware	Pan Rack furniture recipe.
20	Internal Alchemy	With 10 Nature Runes you can reset and food and drink buff.
27	Bones to Peaches	With 10 Nature Runes and 5 Earth Runes, transmute bones into peaches.
40	Yes, Chef!	Chef’s Hat recipe.

Runecrafting

Of all the above skills, I think Runecrafting is the most difficult to level up. You’ll need to have a Rune Alter to begin really levelling it up. However, after you do, you can begin harvesting Rune Essences from the glowing, purple deposit spots you see all over Ashenfall. All you really need to do is, just like the stones and wood branches you find on the ground, use your pickaxe at each Rune Essence spot you find.

There are seven total abilities that can be learned from this skill tree, including:

Level	Skill	Description
8	Windstep	Air Magic.
11	Earth Runes	Earth Rune Recipe.
13	Fire Runes	Fire Rune Recipe.
16	Law Runes	Law Rune Recipe.
18	Nature Runes	Nature Rune Recipe.
20	Fire Spirit	Fire Spirit.
27	Essential Strength	Runes weigh 50% less.
