Skills & Builds
The clearest skill guides recommend upgrades by job: what the player is trying to do right now.
Build Buckets
- Gatherer: harvesting speed, stamina, carry efficiency, and tool value.
- Explorer: mobility, food efficiency, survivability, and safe scouting.
- Builder: resource economy, station access, storage, and base utility.
- Combat: defense, healing windows, ranged backup, magic utility, and recovery.
Skill roadmap status
Dragonwilds has raised skill caps to 99, although some higher-level reward tracks continue to be filled out by updates. Umbral Sands fills Woodcutting and Mining skill trees to 99 with new spells, recipes, perks and rewards. Agility is planned around traversal challenges and movement upgrades; Prayer is planned as a combat and support skill.
Build pages should state the patch, level range, equipment and intended activity. See Water Magic for the latest confirmed magic branch.

Woodcutting receives new spells, storage and equipment milestones across levels 50–99.
Water Magic Adds Slows and Support Options
Water Magic expands the magic tree with a control-oriented identity instead of duplicating Fire damage or Air knockdown.

The July 24 breakdown turns the earlier teaser into a concrete Agility system with repeatable courses, skill rewards and world traversal benefits.
Parries, Special Attacks and Wands on the Roadmap

Five new official-source news analyses
Five additional, independently indexable articles connect official updates to this navigation topic.
Agility Passive XP and Timed Courses Explained
Agility combines passive XP from running with six timed orb courses, so efficient progression uses normal travel as well as deliberate course attempts.
Agility Carry-Weight Milestones Affect Builds
Carry-weight increases at Agility milestones change gathering and combat loadouts, but should be verified from the live skill tree after each patch.
Combat Switching and Ammunition Flow in 0.12.1
Hotwheel access, quick cast, off-hand restoration and ammunition cycling reduce menu friction without changing the underlying item statistics.
Mining and Woodcutting 50–99 Priority Changes
The expanded gathering tracks mix spells, storage, weight reduction and equipment, so unlock order matters more than the final level alone.
Survival Builds After the Wardstone Removal
Post-0.12 builds must plan around maximum health, instant food healing and armor because Wardshield and healing potions are no longer the recovery core.
