Read on to learn what else is included in the latest update and what lies ahead for the future of the game.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds 0.7.3 Patch Notes
Velgar Meteor Fix and Cloud Saves
Since its early access launch, RuneScape: Dragonwilds has captivated fans with its immersive open-world survival gameplay. On May 2, 2025, Jagex released the patch notes for version 0.7.3 via Steam, highlighting several key improvements—including a fix for Velgar’s notoriously overpowered meteor attacks and the long-awaited addition of cloud saves.
One of the core gameplay elements in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is the presence of powerful dragons roaming the Fellhollow region, with Velgar being the most formidable so far. While the challenge posed by Velgar is part of the intended difficulty, his meteor attacks have proven to be unexpectedly punishing. As it stands, these meteors crash through building roofs, leaving players without safe cover during combat. Fortunately, the upcoming patch will correct this issue, ensuring that "meteors raining down from the Scaly Scourge should be less of a problem now."
In addition to the Velgar adjustments, patch 0.7.3 introduces a highly anticipated feature: Cloud Saves. This functionality enables players to sync their progress across multiple devices seamlessly. For many players, this marks a significant quality-of-life improvement, eliminating the need to manually manage local save files.
Jagex has also reaffirmed its commitment to player feedback, emphasizing how community input continues to shape the development roadmap. Since its early access release, RuneScape: Dragonwilds has maintained a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, thanks in large part to the passionate support of its fanbase. At [ttpp], we believe the game has strong potential grounded in its solid mechanics, though there remains room for continued refinement.
