RuneScape Dragonwilds offers players the familiar experience of grinding levels, but in a survival setting. That said, what’s the level cap for your Skills? This is going to change when we get towards launch, according to the Community Manager at Jagex. If you’re familiar with the RuneScape system, you know that pretty much everything has a skill level, and by using that ability or feature, you’ll slowly level up.

The true max level for skills won’t be realized until Jagex officially launches the title, but it could always be increased in the future. Depending on how successful the game is and developer decisions, skill levels could go higher. However, as of writing, the max level for skills in RuneScape Dragonwilds is 50.

What is the current max level for skills in RuneScape Dragonwilds?

While the goal is to have a max level of 99 in RuneScape Dragonwilds, the current max level is 50. No matter what skill you’re using, that’s the current peak. In the traditional RuneScape, 99 is the skill cap as well, except for very specific skills that cap at level 120. It’s unknown if that will carry over to this game, either.

Players also have access to all of the skills in the game. Since this is set in the wilderness, you can’t head into a city somewhere and learn Attack, for example. Like other iterations of RuneScape, RuneScape Dragonwilds doesn’t have player levels, only skill levels. You can level up the following skills:

Artisan
Attack
Construction
Cooking
Mining
Magic
Ranged
Runecrafting
Woodcutting

To level these up, you must participate in the activity. Having potions you can imbibe that increase your XP gains will also help. For example, if you want your Cooking skill to level up, make a Brewing Cauldron, and cook amazing recipes.

While listed above, the Magic and Ranged skill trees aren’t in the game yet. You can still use staves and bows, but there’s no skill line for them yet. There’s still a lot to come to this Early Access game. It’s important to note that it is still being developed, and so things could, and likely will, change as time goes on. That said, the goal is to have a level 99 level cap.

Players can also expect Skill Mastery Capes to come to the game later down the line. For those who didn’t play the original game, these are capes that show off you receiving either 99 or 120 in specific skills, and come with special perks and emotes. It will no doubt take time to hit skill level 50, much less 99. But it's worth it.
