RuneScape: Dragonwilds – How to Farm XP (End-Game)

Post-Game XP Farm Guide

Ву Sword_n_Board19.

After defeating Velgar the first time, you receive a significant reward. However, subsequent defeats yield much less. If you start a new world with the same character, the Wise Old Man recognizes you and won’t give you the initial large reward again. This guide explains a method to get around this limitation, specifically for acquiring multiple Tomes of the Dragon Slayer.

This method involves some preparation, including gathering materials and setting up specific fast travel points. Once everything is ready, you can defeat Velgar repeatedly, with each run taking about 5 to 7 minutes, and receive the full reward each time.

The process works by:

1. Creating a new character within your already established game world.
2. Equipping this new character with higher-tier gear you’ve already acquired.
3. Utilizing a network of placed teleport lodestones (and the unstuck function).
4. Having chests pre-filled with necessary items placed at strategic locations.
5. After defeating Velgar and obtaining the Tome, you store it in a chest, delete the new character, and create another one to repeat the process.

Farming

You will need to gather certain items to perform multiple Velgar runs. The amount needed depends on how many runs you plan and your current supplies. For each run, you will require approximately:

• Around 100 Law runes (quantity varies based on unstuck usage).
• 1 Antler.
• 1 Dragon Tooth and 1 Bloodwood Sap.
• 15 copper ore and 15 tin ore (to make 5 bronze bars).
• 1 Clay vessel, 1 harralander, and 1 bittercap mushroom (for an anti-poison potion).

You’ll need to farm these items from specific locations:

• Antlers: Dropped by deer, found in the starting area and near the Wise Old Man.
• Vault Cores: Needed for expanding your teleport network. These respawn in vaults; the first vault is a good source as it has three close together. Opened vault gates remain open.
• Anti-poison potion ingredients: Clay, harralander, and bittercap mushrooms are found in the Whispering Swamp. A cave on the north side contains many bittercap mushrooms.
• Bloodwood Sap: Farmable from a camp in the Bloodblight Swamp (around 7 per visit).
• Dragon Teeth: Farmable from a dragon’s mouth area in the Stormtouched Highlands (around 7-9 per visit).
• Copper and Tin Ore: Found throughout the Fractured Plains. The vault in the center is a suggested farming spot.
• Iron Ore (Optional for Rangers): Can be found in caves near teleport point #5 for making iron arrows.
• Rune Essence / Law Runes: Acquired from various locations while farming other materials.
• Stone and Rune Essence (Optional): For basic ward stones, gathered generally.

Fast Travel Network, Chests, and Other Items

Set up the following for the run:

• Lodestones: Place lodestones at these locations:
  • Next to the Wise Old Man in the village.
  • Next to the book in the goblin camp.
  • Next to the Whispering Swamp’s vault entrance.
  • Next to Cathan.
• Bed: Build a small 1×1 structure near the Wise Old Man and place a bed inside it.

• Chests:
  • Place a chest near the Church containing: your high-level gear, Law runes, anti-poison potions, and the ingredients for the Summoning Horn (Dragon Tooth, Bloodwood Sap, Bronze Bars).
  • Place a chest near the Wise Old Man in the village containing antlers.
• Smithing Anvil (Optional): Building an anvil near Cathan allows immediate crafting of the Summoning Horn after getting the quest step.

The Run

Once preparations are complete, follow these steps for each run:

• Create a new character and load into your existing world.
• Skip the introduction sequence. Speak to the Wise Old Man and skip the tutorial prompts.
• Go to the chest near the Church and equip your prepared gear and take the necessary items (runes, potion, horn ingredients).
• Use the nearby Church Lodestone to teleport to the Wise Old Man in the village.

• Interact with the bed you placed: break it, rebuild it, and claim it. Take an antler from the nearby chest. Speak to the Wise Old Man twice to progress his quests.

• Teleport to the goblin castle lodestone, find and read the designated book, then teleport to the Swamp’s vault entrance lodestone.

• Enter the vault area. Use the ramp to bypass the rats, go up the stairs, turn left, and enter the room with the lever to speak with Splitfoot.
• Open the menu (Esc key) and use the unstuck function (hold X). This should return you to the Church starting point.
• Teleport to the Wise Old Man and speak with him again.
• Teleport to Cathan. If you placed an anvil, craft the Summoning Horn. Run to Velgar’s tower, ignoring the Thane.

• Drink the anti-poison potion. Use the Summoning Horn to summon Velgar. Move to a safe position (like position 1 mentioned in the original guide) to fight him.
• Defeat Velgar.
• Use the unstuck function again (Esc, hold X).
• Teleport to the Wise Old Man, turn in Velgar’s head, and collect the rewards, including the Tome of the Dragon Slayer.
• Teleport back to the Church (it’s usually faster than using unstuck).
• Store the Tome, any other loot, your gear, and remaining Law Runes in the chest near the Church.
• Log out and delete the character you just used.
• Repeat the process starting from step 1.

Replenish your farmed materials whenever supplies run low before starting more Velgar runs.

Results

Using this method allows you to collect multiple Tomes of the Dragon Slayer. You can then decide whether to use them immediately on your main character to increase skill levels (like Ranged and Magic, as shown in the original guide’s example) or save them for later game updates.

The example provided showed significant level gains in Ranged and Magic after using 10 Tomes.
