Like any survival game, increasing your carry weight in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is the biggest quality-of-life upgrade a player can ask for. Luckily, there are multiple ways to either directly or indirectly increase your storage capacity.
This allows for the ability to go on longer treks of exploration out in the wilderness, spending more time collecting useful stuff and less time running back and forth between bases.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds - How to Get Crystal Bow (Heartstrings Quest)
In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the Crystal Bow is a powerful Tier 3 Bow with a unique special attack and excellent stats. Here’s how to find it.
How to Increase Carry Weight in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
The only way to directly increase the carry weight in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is by wearing the Leggings of Lightness at the top of the Temple Woods Windmill to gain +50 carry weight. This is the same Windmill where you meet with the Restless Spirit to trigger the Restless Ghosts side quest.
The Leggings of Lightness is a Power Level 1 Leg Armor Piece with the following stats:
- 0 Melee Defense
- 0 Ranged Defense
- 0 Magic Defense
-
Special Effect: Lightness
- +50 Carry Weight
With Leggings of Lightness equipped, your carry weight goes from 400 to 450. This is the only direct means of increasing this value in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
How to Get the Leggings of Lightness in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
In order to get the Leggings of Lightness, players will need to reach the very top of the Windmill. There are two ways to do this. Either use Windstep twice to jump to the top, or build vertically around the Windmill to gain elevation. A combination of Stairs and Foundations will get you high enough that you can simply Windstep once.
Open the chest, and you will find the recipe for crafting Leggings of Lightness. Right-click to learn it. You can now craft this item at a Crafting Table. You’ll need the following materials:
- Rune Essence x6
- Coarse Animal Fur x6
Best RuneScape Dragonwilds Melee Weapons
Melee weapons are incredibly powerful in RuneScape: Dragonwilds because of their stagger abilities and high raw damage output.
How to Get Personal Chest (Construction XP Farm)
As the game progresses and players explore new regions, the Leggings of Lightness become hard to justify due to their lack of defenses. Players will be forced to equip better defensive gear in order to not be one-shotted by a random Garou Hunter’s arrow from half a mile away. Luckily, there is a way to solve all your carry weight problems in the late game of RS Dragonwilds: Personal Chest.
Personal Chest is a spell that unlocks when you reach level 40 in the Construction skill. It allows players to summon a personal storage chest with 20 slots anywhere in the world in exchange for 20 Law Runes and 15 Astral Runes. This is an incredibly convenient method of storing 20 stacks of materials while out exploring without becoming encumbered by extra carry weight.
However, to unlock this ability, you will need to power level Construction to level 40, which can be quite tedious to do. Luckily, there is a tried-and-true farming method to make it go way faster. Here is what you do:
- Make a 3x3 block of wood foundation near your base.
- Build six Sawmills next to it.
- Feed each Sawmill 50 Ash Logs (max capacity). This will net you 600 Ash Planks.
- Repeat this once more to obtain 1200 Ash Planks.
- Drink a Weak Focused Construction Potion. This potion can be crafted using a Clay Vessel, Flax, and Marrentil in a Brewing Cauldron.
- Open the build menu, go to Furniture, and select Chair.
- Spam build the chairs on the foundation until you run out of Ash Planks.
- In the end, you will reach level 40 in Construction and unlock the Personal Chest skill.
To give a frame of reference, we used roughly 1150 Ash Planks to go from level 15 to level 40 in Construction while using a Weak Focused Construction Potion. Two Ash Planks are created using one Ash Log, which means we needed 575 Ash Logs for this. To be efficient, aim to convert 600 Ash Logs into 1200 Ash Planks before starting to get it all done in one go.
