Jagex Lays Out 2026 Dragonwilds Roadmap: March “Dowdun Reach,” Skill Caps to 99

Monthly patches will bridge early access to a summer desert zone then a later endgame region.

Overview

  • Dowdun Reach, slated for late March, brings a dense castle keep in Felhollow with Black Knights, Blue Dragons, and mithril-tier crafting opportunities.
  • All skills will increase to level 99, with a reworked, timing-based Fishing skill joining the roster and additional tweaks to trade skills mentioned by the studio.
  • Umbral Sands is planned for summer 2026 as a desert biome where daytime heat is dangerous and night exploration is safer, introducing the red dragon Fuzan, Kalphites, and more friendly NPC groups like merchants and questgivers.
  • Jagex commits to monthly minor updates between major patches, adding quests, rewards, activities, balance changes, and fixes.
  • A later Scorned Wilderness/Rage of Kuldra update is positioned as endgame content with Rune/Runeite-tier gear and the God‑Eater Kuldra, with timing still to be determined.
