Improving equipped weapons is a common chore in a survival crafting game like RuneScape: Dragonwilds. As players journey to a new area, they will meet higher-level enemies, demanding them to have better gear, both weapons and armor. For people who love taking the mage role, this means getting a better staff than the one they have. The first staff available in RuneScape: Dragonwilds has a 1.9x damage multiplier, which is enough for level 1 and 2 enemies, but lacking for level 3 and above.

Eventually, players would want a level 4 weapon, which, in the case of the staff, is the Staff of Light in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Here's how to get the Staff of Light recipe and how to make it.

Highlighting The Problem Quest In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

The best way to start the Highlighting The Problem quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is by going to the vault near the Runecrafting Guild. From the Bramblemead Village, look northwest to the vault next to the pink lake-like area. Take a detour from the lower road, then use the Windstep spell to cross to the other side.

If players find the vault from above, don't worry as they can float down slowly using Windstep too. Make sure to land on the area on top of the vault entrance, and it'll cause the character to lose half their HP on impact.

Next, follow these steps:

  1. Enter the vault, and players should immediately be greeted with a fire arrow trap. Roll safely, then turn right.
  2. In the next room, there will be some enemies to beat and more traps to cross. Keep going forward.
  3. Once the first Vault Core is in sight, head left.
  4. Players should now be in an open room filled with rats.
  5. Defeat the rats, then look up to an opening by a ramp. Use the Windstep spell to go up.
  6. Interact with the statue and take note of the name, Pthentorok. This will trigger the Highlighting The Problem quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Search The Runecrafting Guild For A Statue In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

The next step is to find the statue in the Runecrafting Guild. The Runecrafting Guild in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is located west of the Bramblemead Valley vault. After clearing the goblins in the area, players should see a very obvious wizard statue outside.

Speak to the statue and choose Pthentorok to proceed with the Highlighting The Problem quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Find A Way To Charge The Mysterious Orb In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Now, players must find a way to charge the mysterious orb in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. This part requires players to further utilize their Windstep ability, as they must jump to the three towers where the orb pillars are​​​​​.

  1. To reach the first orb pillar, stand on the box or barrel, then simply hold the jump button to Windstep to the top. Interact with the pillar above.
  2. Go down and approach the little mound near the second tower to gain an extra height, then Windstep above. From here, cross the rooftop, then Windstep again to a balcony with a chest on it.
  3. From the balcony, Windstep to the third tower and charge the mysterious orb on the final pillar.
