Quests
Quest walkthroughs for RuneScape: Dragonwilds in recommended order, covering Kuldra's Saga, side quests, rewards and the Scorned Wilderness raid unlock.
Introduction
Quests in RuneScape: Dragonwilds split into the main Kuldra's Saga storyline and a thinner layer of side quests that quietly hand out mounts, upgrades and recipes. Jagex has never published a numbered quest list, so almost every quest name in circulation - the tutorial questline, Cook's Assistant, Room With Garou, Animal Magnetism, The Wild Hunt, the Dragon Slayer chain and the Great Body Robbery - comes from community guides and announcement coverage rather than an in-game index. What matters for planning is order. The tutorial questline sets up your first crafting stations and Lodestone, side quests fill the gaps between regions, and the saga carries you toward the 1.0 finale that unlocks the Scorned Wilderness raid.
Quest Quick Reference
| Quest | How To Start | Reward | Common Pitfall |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kuldra's Saga | Follow the main storyline on from the tutorial questline | Unlocks the Scorned Wilderness raid at 1.0 | Pushing into later regions out of order |
| Tutorial questline | Triggers automatically when you spawn | Crafting table, cooking range and first Lodestone | Skipping dialogue and missing tool basics |
| Cook's Assistant | Early side quest, reported by community guides | Cooking and food-focused upgrades, per guides | Trusting guide reward lists over the journal |
| The Wild Hunt | Mid-game quest, reported by community guides | Magic Carpet mount and mount variations | Setting out without food buffs or a Lodestone |
| Dragon Slayer chain | Late-game chain, reported by community guides | Late-game gear and progression rewards | Entering dragon fights under-geared |

Core Mechanics
Quest tracking in Dragonwilds leans on an in-game journal rather than a public completion list. Community threads regularly ask how to see finished quests, whether the tracker can be re-pinned, and where a given objective actually sits on the map, which tells you the journal carries more weight than a traditional quest log. Dialogue choices matter in places, though the game rarely locks you out permanently; most branches change the flavour of a reward rather than removing it entirely. Side quests tend to gate convenience such as storage, mounts and cooking, while the main saga gates access, ending with the raid unlock. Because the quest names and reward tables in circulation are community-compiled, cross-check objectives against your own journal before trusting a walkthrough written for an older patch.
Advantages
Quests are the cheapest power spike in the game. The tutorial chain alone supplies a crafting table, cooking range and your first Lodestone, and food from Cooking restores health instantly and grants buffs, which matters far more than potions during the opening hours. Side quests keep paying off later: community guides credit The Wild Hunt with the Magic Carpet mount and its variations, and the functional rewards behind Animal Magnetism shorten travel and storage runs for the rest of the playthrough. The main saga doubles as a difficulty guide, because following it in order keeps your gear roughly level with each region's encounters. Finishing the saga also opens the Scorned Wilderness raid, so quest progress is your endgame key.
Challenges
The honest caveat is documentation. Jagex has not published a complete quest list, reward table or level requirement set, so community guides are the only practical reference and they drift out of date quickly, since several were written during Early Access patches and have not been re-verified since 1.0. Trackers can be fussy as well: players regularly report objectives that will not update, or journal entries that read unclearly about where to go next. Side quest value varies wildly, and a few are long treks for modest rewards. Because nothing in the quest layer is officially numbered, two guides can disagree on order without either being wrong.

Quick Tips
Do the tutorial questline before anything else, even if the world looks tempting. It hands over the crafting table, cooking range and your first Lodestone, and those unlocks decide how comfortable the next ten hours feel. Community guides all agree on this point, and players who ignore it usually end up rebuilding a base they placed badly, with no reliable way to fast travel back to it and no cooked food in storage.
Follow Kuldra's Saga in order rather than region-hopping. The storyline is the game's own difficulty guide, so staying with it keeps your gear roughly matched to the enemies you meet. Pushing into Fellhollow or Dowdun Reach early mostly wastes consumables, and you will still have to come back and finish the saga anyway to unlock the Scorned Wilderness raid at the end.
Verify rewards in your journal instead of trusting a walkthrough. Quest names and reward tables in circulation come from community guides and announcement coverage, not an official list, and several were compiled during Early Access. If a guide promises a specific item and the quest hands you something else, the patch notes moved on rather than you doing it wrong.
Bank your inventory before a long quest trek, and make sure a Lodestone near the destination is already attuned. Quest routes cross hostile ground and the walk back after a death is often the worst part of the experience. Leave spare gear at base, carry food that grants buffs, and empty your bags into linked chests so nothing valuable rides along on a risky trip.
Level Cooking alongside questing, because food is the cheapest sustain in the game. It restores health instantly and gives buffs, which outclasses healing potions during the early and mid game and keeps you out of trouble on quest fights that turn out harder than expected. A stocked pantry also makes vault runs and boss attempts far less expensive to repeat.
