Dragonwilds Patch Notes: 1.0.1.2
Hotfix 1.0.1.2 fixes the Air Magic Staff combo, Runecrafting counters, Xbox Series X worlds and Kuldra skips. The fix list plus what 1.0.1 still left open.
1.0.1.2 shipped on 23 October 2026, nine days after the 1.0.1 update. It is a hotfix, not a content drop. Jagex also states that dedicated servers must restart before the hotfix takes effect.
What 1.0.1.2 fixes
| Fix | What changed |
|---|---|
| Air Magic Staff combo | The fourth hit now deals damage and applies on-hit effects |
| Runecrafting counter | Amulets and rings that degrade no longer reset the Essence counter to 1/50 |
| Xbox Series X worlds | A hosted world can now take more than one Xbox client at a time |
| Controller stack splitting | Splitting chest stacks no longer freezes the controller |
| Kuldra skips | Further skips closed |
| Duplicate display names | A failed login with a duplicate name no longer costs progress |
| Dragon Scimitar | Jump Attack now works in the cases where it was blocked |
| Quest UI | “Silent” quests no longer show incorrect or missing objective text |
| Linux dedicated servers | No longer crash when teleporting |
What 1.0.1 left open
The 15 October known-issues post split its list into shipping-soon and later. The controller-only Corrupted Save popup block was in the first group, with repeated accept presses or a controller reconnect as the workaround. Ranged special attacks crashing dedicated servers were also listed there.
The later list is the one that explains several 1.0.1.2 lines. It included the Air Magic Staff fourth hit, the Runecrafting Essence reset, controller stack splitting, Console world joins and Scorned Wilderness skips. Two items on that list matter beyond a single fight: Mucksplosion not matching its 3x3 preview radius, and inventory not persisting when switching worlds.
What the 1.0.1 update added
1.0.1 was the content update underneath the hotfix. It added the Jump Attack behind the Death From Above skill perk, which plunges you onto targets below and scales with the equipped weapon. Ranged builds got Ammo Recovery and its Greater version, plus subclass special attacks: Rapid Fire for the shortbow, Power Shot for the longbow and Heavy Bolt for the crossbow. The Low Blow perk applies Hamstrung to leg hits, with Tiny and Colossal enemies immune.
Saves and the catch-up mechanic
1.0.1 targeted disappearing world saves and added a catch-up path for corrupted character saves. An affected character returns with aggregated stats and Tier 4 gear rather than starting over. Jagex says the affected group is very small, and that it is still collecting data on other save cases.
If your world is gone, open a ticket before deleting anything, and check the world save page for the recovery status.
Why dedicated servers need a restart
Dedicated servers run their own build. A hotfix only reaches them when the host restarts the process, which is why a self-hosted world can behave differently from a client on the same day. Restart after the Steam client updates, then confirm the version on the server console.
Weapon and skill detail is on weapons and skills, and the raid order is on quests.
