RuneScape Dragonwilds Adds Fishing in First-Anniversary Update

The patch leans into RuneScape nostalgia to push the survival spinoff toward MMO-like systems.

Overview

  • Fishing, which went live Tuesday, brings 12 catchable species and three spells that boost spawns, cook catches, or pull fish straight into your inventory.
  • Players unlock the skill by speaking to the Wise Old Man in Brynmoor, and catches now feed Cooking or can become display trophies for a base.
  • Three quests arrive with two drawn from classic RuneScape—Cook’s Assistant and Animal Magnetism—plus a new story, A Room With Garou, alongside the Scarecrow Scavenging and Buried Treasure activities with themed rewards.
  • Quality-of-life upgrades include an auto-run toggle, automatic pickup via auto-magnetize, calmer ambient creatures like chickens and cows, and the option to open menus while sleeping.
  • Economy tuning raises rune stacks to 9,999 and increases Black Metal drops, signaling groundwork for upcoming Runecrafting changes the developers have referenced as part of the ongoing roadmap.
