0.12.1 verified fix · reviewed 2026-07-25

Axe damage to trees was incorrect

Fix status

0.12.1 restores the intended axe damage value after a misplaced decimal also produced disproportionate Woodcutting XP.

What to do now

Update first, then compare tree damage and XP on the same tree type with the same axe.

Close Dragonwilds and update the Steam client.
If the world is dedicated, stop, back up and update the server too.
Confirm the complete client and server version numbers match.
Reload the affected area or interface and retest the exact trigger once.

If the symptom still appears

Do not assume the same cause survived the patch. Record the current version, world type, host/client role, location and exact action that reproduces “axe damage to trees was incorrect”. A new report with those details is more useful than applying an old workaround or deleting a save.
