RuneScape: Dragonwilds was shadow-dropped by Jagex, and it’s their take on the survival genre with a healthy dose of magic and dragons. Like other survival games, RuneScape: Dragonwilds features both a hunger and thirst meter that you need to keep track of if you want to survive in the wild.

Getting clean water is a high priority and doesn’t have any negative side effects. Here is how you can easily get clean water in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Getting Clean Water in RuneScape Dragonwilds

To get clean water in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, locate some dirty water. The lush forests of RuneScape: Dragonwilds are full of streams, ponds, and lakes, so you can just waltz in and collect all the water you need.

Once you’re done boiling water, clean water will be added to your inventory. I recommend gathering a lot of dirty water because you don’t need much fuel to boil it. Stock up on clean water for later use so you don’t have to worry about the thirst meter all the time.

Does Dirty Water Hydrate You in RuneScape: Dragonwilds?

Yes, dirty water can still hydrate you in RuneScape: Dragonwilds and can be used in emergencies. However, each time you consume it, it fills up your toxicity meter a little bit, which is denoted by the radioactive sign.

If you keep drinking dirty water, it will eventually fill up and you will be toxified. While you’re toxified, you will lose 10 health per second, which is quite a lot when you’re just starting out.

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
