Are you struggling to collect valuable gems in Runescape: Dragonwilds? You’re definitely not alone. Mining is a labor-intensive task, and anyone who’s ever done it knows how challenging it can be to locate sought-after items like opal and jade.
But what if we told you there’s a way to acquire gems in Runescape: Dragonwilds more easily? While it may sound too good to be true, there’s certainly a sprinkle of luck involved. However, there are strategies to improve your chances, and we’re here to guide you through them.
Keep in mind that Runescape: Dragonwilds is currently in Early Access. By the time you’re reading this, there might be more gems available than those we’re outlining here. But for now, here’s the complete list!
All Runescape: Dragonwilds Gems And Their Uses
Currently, there are four types of gems in the game: Opal, Jade, Sapphire, and Red Topaz. These gems are essential for upgrading your gear using the Smithing Anvil, a device you can build for crafting.
At the Smithing Anvil, you can use gems as ingredients to enhance your equipment, particularly your weapons. If you’re just starting out in Runescape: Dragonwilds, you may not need to focus on this yet, but eventually, you’ll reach a point where these enhancements become available, and they are quite beneficial.
You will need to achieve level 16 in mining to unlock the Gem Prospector ability, allowing you to discover gems more frequently. However, finding gems is quite rare, so you won’t miss out too much during levels 1 to 15.

Tips for Finding Gems
While you can’t speed up the process drastically, here are some tips to help you:
- Start by using the Rocksplosion spell when available. This spell allows you to clear multiple mining veins at once, similar to spells that speed up other tasks, like chopping trees.
- If possible, play in a group. We understand that playing solo can be appealing, but when it comes to collecting gems, having partners can increase your chances.
- Try not to get too fixated on finding gems. Some players report going through entire sessions without spotting many gems, which might indicate a need for game adjustments. Don’t focus solely on gem-hunting to the point of burnout.
As Runescape: Dragonwilds continues to evolve, we expect to keep this guide updated frequently in the coming weeks and months. Good luck out there!
