RuneScape: Dragonwilds Rolls Out 0.9 Update, Adds Ranged Skill and Creative Mode
Jagex has rolled out RuneScape: Dragonwilds update 0.9, which introduces a new ranged skill tree, creative mode, and lots of bug fixes to the open-world survival crafting game.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds 0.9 has finally launched, adding much-requested features to the open-world adventure game, including a ranged skill tree, creative mode, custom world settings, and controller support.
The update was initially due to launch on September 9, but Jagex delayed it until September 11 (today), because the studio “encountered” some bugs that it wasn’t happy with until now.

What’s New in the 0.9 Update
Key features introduced in the 0.9 update include a ranged skill tree with 50 levels, new abilities, and 1-handed crossbows now available to unlock in the game.
For improved gameplay, the game now supports controllers. Players are now able to lock onto enemies and navigate menus. However, controller support is only in an alpha state, and Jagex promises more improvements in the future.
Players who prefer a more relaxed experience can create a new “Creative Mode” character and explore and build without the stress of survival.
The last major feature is custom world settings. Players can create a new “Custom World” character and adjust their settings, such as damage, hunger, and XP gain rates, as well as various other settings.
Patch Notes
Included with the new features in RuneScape: Dragonwilds 0.9 are a variety of additional fixes, such as persistent status effects, improved AI, additional SFX, and more visible clouds when it’s raining.
You can read the full patch notes on Steam, and read about the main features below:
The Ranged Skill has arrived!
- Skill up to Level 50 and enjoy a slate of new Spells, a fletching table for the new sets of arrows, and much more.
- Stop your foes in their tracks with the new Snare ability (which is later upgraded to Venomous Trapper!).
- Use the new Ability Hunter Sense to gain awareness of nearby foes.
- Enchant your bow to Astral Magic to allow arrows to pierce multiple enemies.
- New Archery target buildable.
- 1-Handed Crossbows are here! Now! Along with that, plenty of new bolts to unlock and use.
- Tons of other abilities are there to be unlocked, so have a look!
- For more information around the ranged skill, check out our blog post “Introducing the Ranged Skill!”.
Creative Mode is now available!
- You will need to create a new “Creative Mode” character to access worlds that are Creative Mode enabled.
- For those that just want a relaxing, chill, and build experience. Check out our blog “Introducing Creative Mode!” with Mod Deluxe for more details.
Custom World Settings
- You will need to create a new “Custom World” character to access worlds that are using Custom World settings.
- When creating a Custom World, click on Advanced in the upper left to access the World Settings.
- Over 40 settings are exposed, from damage, thirst, hunger, to XP rates and processing.
Controller Support (Alpha State)
- As mentioned in our blog post last month, “The Road to Fellhollow: A Check-In from our Product Director” with Mod bitf0x, controller support is being updated; however, we believe it still needs polish.
- Players will be able to lock onto enemies, navigate through menus, and we’ve refreshed / reoptimized input bindings.
- We’ll be keeping you updated on when we’ll be releasing the next round of polish to make these feel good on the sticks.
- Functional Keyboard Rebinding implemented.
New multiplayer protections have been added:
- Gravestone Protection: A new option in gameplay settings so that other players will not be able to loot your gravestone.
- Build Protection Totem: We have added totems with a sphere around them that will prevent other players from building within that area. You will have 8 to place.
- Chest Privacy: Chests can now be locked by the owner. Just open the chest and check the box labeled Private.
Updated Character and World List UI
- As part of adding Custom Worlds and Creative mode, new icons have been added on character selection and the world selection screens to denote the type of world.
- Character Slots increased from 4 to 8.
Antipoison potions have been updated:
- Antipoison now uses Marentill rather than Haarlander.
- Antipoison now resists poison buildup, rather than fully preventing it. This effect stacks with the fungal fortitude buff from certain foods.
- The “fungal fortitude” buff from food now fully prevents buildup of poison.
