How to craft Padded Cloth in RuneScape Dragonwilds

As you advance into Power Level four in RuneScape Dragonwilds, you’ll notice items like Padded Cloth, iron bars, and hard leather appearing in your material crafting requirements. No playstyle preference is immune to these requirements, so you’ll need to learn quickly if you want to survive in Ashenfall.

The downside? It isn’t initially clear how to make Padded Cloth. While you’ll eventually make workstations like the Smithing Anvil and Loom, knowing how to piece everything together to create this resource is its own separate challenge. Here’s exactly how to make Padded Cloth in RuneScape Dragonwilds.

How to make Padded Cloth in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Crafting Padded Cloth in RuneScape Dragonwilds requires getting your hands on the materials and workstations below:

• Wool Cloth
• Rough Cloth
• Loom
• Loom Harness

Obtaining both cloth types and the loom require venturing into RuneScape Dragonwilds’ first four regions, including hunting animals in Bramblemead Valley before climbing Stormtouched Highlands to find iron ore and sheep. Once you have all four components, combine wool and rough cloth in your upgraded loom to make some Padded Cloth.

Let’s break down each component one by one, starting with the cloth types themselves.

Wool Cloth recipe

Making Wool Cloth requires obtaining at least two wool thread and using them in a regular loom. You can make wool thread using fleece from sheep and ram or soft animal fur you obtain from wolves and Chinchompas. All four of these creatures appear in the Fractured Plains and Stormtouched Highlands, just north of Bramblemead Valley.

If you’re unfamiliar with wool thread, you can make this resource by taking fleece or soft animal fur and using them in a spinning wheel. You only need one fleece per wool thread, while the other route requires collecting soft animal fur to make two threads.

Rough Cloth recipe

Rough cloth is easier to create, requiring coarse threads to make. Coarse thread is an early-game resource you make using animal fur from Kebbits or by spinning flax. Farming flax and animals in Temple Woods and Bramblemead Valley is generally the way to go.

How to upgrade your Loom in RuneScape Dragonwilds

As you start processing animal products into wool and rough threads, it’s time to look into loom upgrades. If you don’t have a loom yet, you can make one using the following resources:

• Ash Plank (22)
• Bronze Bar (4)
• Wool Thread (6)

After progressing through RuneScape Dragonwilds’ later regions, you’ll begin collecting other materials required for the Loom Harness upgrade. Below are the items you need for it:

• Ash Plank (18)
• Oak Logs (12)
• Iron Bar (4)
• Wool Thread (12)
• Ram Horn (4)

How to use Padded Cloth in RuneScape Dragonwilds

With the hard part out of the way, it’s time to craft some new equipment using your newly acquired Padded Cloth. Below are some examples of crafting recipes that use this material:

Alongside Padded Cloth, you’ll also need Iron bars, Vault Shards, and hard leather for most of these recipes. Iron ore is found exclusively in Stormtouched Highlands, while hard leather requires processing regular leather in an upgraded Tannery. The last key item is Vault Shards from dungeons scattered around Ashenfall.
