In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, players need to reach a specific location in the Fractured Plains and converse with a ghost to continue their quest. However, progression is hindered without a special item revealed in the encounter.
After the spirit discloses details about its tragic demise, it provides the crafting recipe for a Challenge Horn. A crucial ingredient needed to create this horn is Bloodwood Sap, which can only be harvested from the Bloodblight Swamp. Players should gear up appropriately, as the swamp is notorious for its toxic environment and treacherous elements.
How to Obtain Bloodwood Sap in RuneScape: Dragonwilds


To gather Bloodwood Sap, players must locate the Bloodwood tree within the Bloodblight Swamp. Begin by heading south from the swamp entrance in the Fractured Plains until you discover a bridge that leads you to an expansive enemy camp. The notable tree with distinctive red leaves marks the location of the Bloodwood tree, where sap is visibly oozing from the trunk.
Before venturing into the swamp, there are several critical factors to consider:
- The swamp is lethally toxic; thus, exploration without adequate preparation can quickly lead to poisoning.
- It’s plagued by formidable enemies, necessitating high-quality equipment for survival against their attacks.
- Harvesting the Bloodwood Sap requires an Iron Logging Axe, which can be a challenge to acquire.
Exploring the Bloodblight Swamp Safely


To safely navigate the Bloodblight Swamp, players should create the Antipoison Potion, which grants resistance to poison for 300 seconds. As the effect wanes, you’ll need to consume additional potions to continue exploring safely. This necessitates brewing several Antipoison Potions in advance.
The ingredients needed for crafting the Antipoison Potion include Harralander, Bittercap Mushroom, and Clay, all of which can be sourced from the Whispering Swamp. Utilize a Pottery Wheel and Kiln to create a Clay Vessel before combining the components in a Brewing Cauldron to produce the potion.
Crafting the Smithing Anvil for Superior Equipment


The Smithing Anvil is an invaluable structure that unlocks a variety of new recipes for crafting weapons and armor, enhancing your defenses against challenging foes. By exploring the Fractured Plains and gathering Tin and Copper, you can smelt these ores into Bronze Bars, thereby unlocking numerous crafting recipes, including that for the Smithing Anvil.
Crafting the Iron Logging Axe for Bloodwood Collection

To craft an Iron Logging Axe, players will need to visit the Stormtouched Highlands to mine Iron Nodes. Once collected, return to your base and utilize the Furnace to forge Iron Bars, thereby unlocking the recipe for the Iron Logging Axe.
At the Smithing Anvil, combine the following materials to craft the axe:
- Iron Bar x6: Smelted from Iron in the Furnace.
- Oak Logs x4: Obtained by chopping down Oak Trees.
- Wool Thread x2: Created by processing Soft Animal Fur or Fleece with the Spinning Wheel.
Once you’ve gathered all necessary supplies, return to the Bloodwood tree to harvest the sap. It’s advisable to clear out nearby enemies to ensure a smoother collection process. Approach the sap and use your Iron Logging Axe to gather it.


For solo players, a single Bloodwood Sap suffices. However, group players should aim to collect one for each member as the additional saps may be out of reach. Constructing a temporary wooden foundation can help elevate you to access the higher saps. Use Windstep to leap onto it, collect the sap, and then dismantle the structure to recover materials if desired. Finally, return the gathered Bloodwood Sap to your companions to facilitate their progression in the main quest.
