Jagex is back with version 0.8 for
RuneScape: Dragonwilds
, and it's packed with everything from hardcore challenges to cozy crafting perks. This survival-crafting spin-off of the legendary RuneScape universe continues to evolve, and June's patch feels like a confident stride toward a more refined, brutal, and beautiful game world.
Let's break down what's new without wasting your XP bar.
The Magic Skill Has Arrived!
T
he much-awaited Magic Skill is now part of the core gameplay. You can level it up all the way to Level 50, with two new Skill Spells to master and multiple spell upgrades to fine-tune your magical arsenal. Craft magic-focused potions, experiment with consumables, and start blasting your enemies from afar — it's the update that fans have been waiting months for.
RuneScape Dragon Wilds: Everything Added In The New Update 0.8!
New Hardcore Mode for More Difficulty
For players who thought survival was too easy, meet Hardcore Mode. Damage dealt and received is cranked way up, and death comes with brutal consequences: lose all your items and XP unless you recover them via your gravestone. It's not for the faint of heart. But if you're craving danger and adrenaline, this mode is going to hit just right.
New Coziness System Introduced
Not everything in this update is about stress and spells. The new Coziness system helps reduce your survival meter depletion when near a claimed bed.

Translation? Longer, uninterrupted crafting and building sessions. Finally, a breather for those who love a solid base-building grind without micromanaging hunger every 30 seconds.
Building Gets Buffed (Visually & Functionally)
The base-building system gets a serious facelift:
Tier 2 (Oak) buildings now look sharper with a fresh visual treatment.
New defensive structures like
Palisade Walls
and
Gates
add more strategic depth.
Structures now show visible damage at
50% health
, helping players assess their base status at a glance.
Building health values have been rebalanced, giving structures more staying power in tougher environments.
Health values for many building pieces have also been rebalanced, going from the
flat 100 HP
to up to
1500 HP
, making your fortress feel… well, like an actual fortress.

Smart Stack Sizes, Burn Time Fixes & More Polish
Jagex also rolled out plenty of under-the-hood improvements:
Revamped lighting, performance, and stability
Better keybinding and UI fixes
Item weight rebalance and new stack sizes (1, 50, 99, 999)
Fuel burn times rebalanced to reduce waste
Tons of bug fixes, from clipping issues to audio glitches
While it's not the biggest update Dragonwilds has ever seen, this June patch delivers meaningful systems and serious upgrades that push the game toward long-term excellence. Magic brings variety, Hardcore adds risk, and cozy crafting offers more freedom.
If Jagex keeps this pace, RuneScape: Dragonwilds might just go from a curious offshoot to a survival classic by the time 1.0 rolls around in 2026. Time to log in, light that campfire, and try not to die.
