Best RuneScape Dragonwilds weapons

At its heart, RuneScape Dragonwilds is a survival game, and to that end, you’ll need to be able to use the best weapons to strike down any enemy that comes your way.

Whether you’re looking to complete the main story, build the best base, or just gather your Adhesive, Vault Cores, Wool Thread, or the elusive Ground Stone, you’ll need something to protect yourself with. After all, without the right protection, you’ll never get far in the game’s world.

So, to ensure you’re fully prepared for your battle with goblins, dragons, or just that one pesky chicken that keeps taking you down, here are the best weapons, as well as all the game’s available arsenal and how to craft them.

Best weapons

Best Melee Weapon

Abyssal Whip

Dexerto / Jagex

The Abyssal Whip is undoubtedly the best melee weapon in RuneScape Dragonwilds, thanks to its impressive punch, high attack combo, and equally as useful Block.

Sure, it’s not the strongest melee weapon in terms of damage, but when you combine speed with the simple crafting ingredients, you have a deadly, accessible weapon in RuneScape Dragonwilds, which is vital.

To find out how to get hold of the Abyssal Whip, check out our guide.

Best Ranged Weapon

Hunter’s Stagbow

Dexerto / Jagex

When it comes to ranged weapons, you’re looking for damage over anything. This is what makes the Hunter’s Stagbow the best in RuneScape Dragonwilds.

Its damage is unfounded in any other ranged weapon, and once you combine that with the relatively easy crafting materials, you have a deadly weapon perfect for goblins or worse.

Best Magic Weapon

Staff of Light

Jagex

The Staff of Light may not be the easiest weapon to get hold of in RuneScape Dragonwilds, but it’s easily one of the most deadly. It’s got an impressive x4.5 Rune Damage, higher than any of the other options, and will decimate the enemy — if you have enough ammo.

Work your way up to the Staff of Light and you’ll be thriving. Just ensure you complete the quest ‘Highlighting the Problem’ to unlock it.

All weapons

There are tons of unique weapons to use in RuneScape Dragonwilds, all of which have different powers. It’s worth noting that these will usually only unlock once you get further into the game, so if you can’t make a powerful weapon, keep grabbing resources and it’ll be available soon.
