The Review

RuneScape, reborn as a survival sandbox

Jagex has done something clever with RuneScape: Dragonwilds: it takes the comfort-food loop of gathering, skilling and questing that made RuneScape a 20-year institution and drops it into a modern, third-person survival-crafting world you can play solo or in co-op with friends. Chop, mine, cook, build a base, craft gear, and push each skill toward the iconic level 99 — it's RuneScape muscle memory in a brand-new body.

The world of Ashenfall is the star, a set of distinct regions — Brynmoor, Ghornfell, Fellhollow, Dowdun Reach and the desert of Umbral Sands — each with its own quests, resources and a towering boss to topple, from Velgar in the Fractured Plains to the final showdown with Queen Kuldra. The magic-as-utility system is the highlight: spells like Rocksplosion, Axtral Projection and Fishnado turn grinding into something genuinely fun, letting you mine a whole vein or fell a grove in a single cast.

It's not perfect — the survival systems are light, and the endgame is a familiar RuneScape grind — but for fans of the world, and for co-op groups who like a cosy build-and-explore loop with real RPG depth, Dragonwilds is a genuinely great time and a smart translation of what makes RuneScape tick.

Platinum Roadmap

The road to Legend of Ashenfall

A long but low-stress 5/10 platinum — no online-only trophies, nothing missable in a single save. The wall is time: level 99 in all 12 skills is the bulk of the ~80–100 hours. Co-op speeds the gathering considerably.

1Play the story and take the regions. Push through Brynmoor to the desert, doing each region's Secondary Quests and beating the five bosses (Velgar, Imaru, the Black Knight Titan, Fuzan, Queen Kuldra). This banks the whole Story & Bosses block and most survival trophies.
2Grab the survival & feat trophies as you go. Mining, woodcutting, cooking, fishing, building, the one-cast combos (Rocksplosion, Axtral Projection, Uproot, Fishnado) and the buff-stack — most pop naturally while you skill.
3Grind the twelve level-99 skills. The real work. Build efficient loops, lean on the utility spells, and level in parallel. Do the Agility courses for Gold medals (Medal Collector) while you push Agility to 99.
4Mop up & platinum. Finish the last 99, any remaining feats, and Legend of Ashenfall pops. Play co-op throughout to halve the gathering time.
No missable trophies. Everything can be done at your own pace in one save — the platinum is purely a time investment, not a skill wall.

FAQ

RuneScape: Dragonwilds platinum — quick answers

How long does the Dragonwilds platinum take?
About 80–100 hours. The story and bosses are a fraction of that — the bulk is grinding level 99 in all 12 skills. Playing in co-op meaningfully cuts the gathering time.
Is it hard to platinum?
Not really — a 5/10. There are no online-only trophies and nothing is missable in a single save. The bosses are moderate with proper gear; the challenge is the time sink of maxing every skill.
Do I need to play online?
No. Co-op is supported and speeds up gathering, but every trophy can be earned in a solo save.
What's the hardest trophy?
The gold Regicide (defeat final boss Queen Kuldra) is the toughest fight, but the most time-consuming are the twelve level 99 skill trophies — especially the slower gathering skills.
Are the bosses missable?
No — they're story-mandatory region bosses (Velgar, Imaru, the Black Knight Titan, Fuzan and Queen Kuldra). See our Story & Bosses guide for each fight.
