Behind the guides

Useful advice needs a source.

Updated 2026-10-14 · Official status checked 2026-10-28

Released · 1.0.1 announced live October 14 · 1.0.1 known issues posted October 15 · 1.0.1.2 hotfix posted October 23 · developer post lists 1.0.1.3 on Xbox and PC Game Pass; Switch 2 rollout unconfirmed · official sources checked October 28, 2026 UTC · installed builds and recovery unconfirmed. The original edition was reviewed 2026-09-23; individual guides and sources carry later checks where recorded.

What this edition covers

37 guides, 14 recipe records, a material planner and a drop and reward register cover gathering routes, early equipment, Dragon Slayer, Withering Heights, Black Knight’s Fortress and Icthlarin’s Little Helper, the 1.0 endgame, multiplayer, wider quest progression, travel, health and version changes.

Find an answer and keep your place

The Dragonwilds answer finder searches the published guide sections, recipes and resource routes. It uses the same records as the pages. Recipe searches also match ingredients and crafting stations. Guide checklists save in your browser; they do not read your game save or sync between devices.

How we check it

Developer notes take priority for changed mechanics. Community databases provide recipe references; reporting helps establish practical routes. Recommendations about trip planning are Kingy’s editorial advice. We have not play-tested these guides or extracted data from an installed build.

Some searchable databases retain historical items. Their presence does not override an official removal notice. This is why the healing guide follows the developer’s rework rather than old Wardstone recipes.

What still needs work

A personal installed-build playtest and platform-by-platform check of 1.0.1 availability, exact Kuldra loot odds and item stats, phase thresholds and party scaling, measured resource yields and respawn times, and the unresolved Runic Powder quantities still need work. The current planner does not include exact Vis Fibres or Vis Cloth processing quantities. Those inputs remain finished materials in its totals; it cannot yet calculate their full gathering cost. The Kuldra audit and drop register keep conflicting community values separate from official guarantees.

Coverage also needs full skill and training references, complete weapon and armour comparisons, cooking and farming databases, and remaining side-quest walkthroughs. The Dowdun Reach and Umbral Sands main-story guides cover their objectives and hand-ins; exact dig-site gate switches and disputed Fight Cave wave rosters still need verification. The current recipe selection and route atlas are not a complete game database or coordinate map.

Keeping the guides current

Official news, current patch notes, save-recovery news and store pages retain their individual source dates. The latest announced live patch is 1.0.1, announced October 14 with disappearing-world fixes and a corrupted-character catch-up mechanic using aggregated stats and Tier 4 gear. Some save issues remain under investigation; recovery has not been tested by Kingy. Luminance is planned for December 2026, with the Blood Crystal Saga and official modding plans following in 2027. These targets do not establish live features or exact launch days. Individual source checks below remain separate from a guide's last content change.
