Guide to Obtaining Clean Water in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Jagex recently launched RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a surprise addition that puts a magical twist on the survival genre. Players will find themselves navigating a vibrant wilderness filled with dragons and enchanted landscapes. Similar to many survival games, monitoring your hunger and thirst levels is crucial for survival in this expansive environment.

Securing clean water should be a primary concern, as it offers no adverse effects—unlike dirty water. Below, we provide a step-by-step guide on effectively acquiring clean water in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

How to Acquire Clean Water in RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Your first task is to find a source of dirty water. Thankfully, the lush terrains of RuneScape: Dragonwilds are abundant with streams, ponds, and lakes to collect water.

No special equipment is required to gather water; simply press the E key repeatedly to fill your inventory with dirty water.

After you have a sufficient amount of dirty water, the next step is to purify it by boiling.
Begin by constructing a Campfire to facilitate this process.

Structure	Materials Required
Campfire	Ash Logs x4, Stone x4

Ash logs and stones are typically found scattered throughout the game world, making them easy to collect.

Once your campfire is established, you can begin the boiling process.

Approach the campfire, then drag your Dirty Water to the top slot, and use Ash Logs as fuel.

After boiling, the clean water will be added to your inventory. It’s wise to gather a substantial amount of dirty water, as it takes minimal fuel to purify. This allows you to maintain a stockpile of clean water, alleviating the constant stress of managing your thirst meter.

Each serving of clean water replenishes 20 points of your thirst/hydration meter.

Can Dirty Water Hydrate You in RuneScape: Dragonwilds?

Indeed, consuming dirty water in RuneScape: Dragonwilds will hydrate you, making it viable during emergencies. However, with each sip, a toxicity meter begins to fill, represented by a radioactive symbol.

If you persist in drinking dirty water, the toxicity meter will eventually max out, resulting in health deterioration at a rate of 10 health points per second—quite dangerous for beginner players.

Compared to clean water, dirty water only replenishes 10 points of thirst.

Monitoring your thirst meter is vital for survival in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Fortunately, staying hydrated is more manageable in this game compared to other survival titles like Grounded.
