RuneScape Dragonwilds: All weapons, ranked 

Whether you're a newcomer to RuneScape Dragonwilds or a veteran of this classic MMORPG, learning the art of combat is essential. Mechanics are different for both games, but one thing remains the same: knowing which weapons to use in any given situation. Sure, you could run up to an enemy and smack them with a Stone Club, but it's much better to engage from afar using an Ash Shortbow.

Of course, most of the weapons listed in this guide will not be available to use from the very start. You will have to find and gather resources, refine them, look for recipes, and progress to harder regions of Ashenfall, and even slay Abyssal Demons, to get your hands on the best weapons in RuneScape Dragonwilds.

All weapons ranked in RuneScape Dragonwilds category-wise

There are three main categories of weapons: Melee (Attack), Ranged, and Magic. The latter two are still in development as per the RuneScape Dragonwilds' Roadmap, which leaves Attack fully functional. You can use Ranged and Magic, but you will not level up those skills or get access to perks/abilities/Spells associated with them.

---

Note: The weapons have been listed based on their respective Power Level. However, the overall utility (type of damage + enemy weakness and/or strength) in terms of damage, attack speed, and attack-combo damage will vary. Weapons with lower Power levels could inflict more damage depending on several factors.

Meele (Attack)

You can never go wrong with a One-Handed weapon and Shield (Image via Jagex Ltd || Sportskeeda Gaming)

There are two types of Meele (Attack) weapons: One-Handed and Two-Handed. The former can be used with Shields, while the latter has to be used without Shields. You can still Block and Parry, but your overall defence will be lower.

Magic

Magic is a powerful tool in RuneScape Dragonwilds (Image via Jagex Ltd || Sportskeeda Gaming)

To use Magic, you will need two things: Battlestaves and Runes. The latter can be crafted at a Rune Altar in RuneScape Dragonwilds. Once you have them, based on the weapon you're using, you'll be able to choose Runes that can be used as ammo. They can also be used to cast Spells in Runescape Dragonwilds.

That's about everything you need to know about weapons in RuneScape Dragonwilds. Since the game is currently in Early Access, many stats are subject to change in the coming months. We will also see new weapons added to the game over time. We could also see new Cooking and Brewing Cauldron recipes added to the mix. However, for the time being, this will have to suffice.
