Runescape Dragonwilds Sacred Oil Guide | How to Get and Use Sacred Oil
Sacred oil is one of the key crafting components for Tier 5 armor, but the game barely explains how to make it. The steps are simple once you know where each ingredient comes from. Here’s the full process with no guessing.
How Sacred Oil Works
Sacred oil is a processed material. You make it by combining two items.
Necrotic bonemeal
Ectoplasm
Both ingredients come from undead enemies and other Fellhollow sources. Once you have them, the final crafting step happens at the brewing cauldron.
Step 1 - Get Necrotic Bonemeal
Start by killing zombies or other undead enemies. They drop undead bones.
Take those bones to your grindstone. Grind them into necrotic bonemeal. This is the exact ingredient you need for the recipe, not regular bone dust or herb powder.
Bonemeal stacks well, so you can farm a bunch at once.
Step 2 - Get Ectoplasm
There are two confirmed ways to get ectoplasm.
Defeat lost souls while you are afflicted with soul rot
Process withering hearts in a kiln
Lost soul enemies drop ectoplasm when you fight them in a soul rotted state. This is the fast method once you know where they spawn.
Withering hearts are the red organs dropped by certain Fellhollow creatures. Put three hearts into a kiln to make one ectoplasm.
Both methods work, so use whichever fits the resources you have.
Step 3 - Craft Sacred Oil
Take your necrotic bonemeal and your ectoplasm to the brewing cauldron. Add a clay vessel, then combine the ingredients.
Once the brew finishes, you get sacred oil. It stacks up to fifty and weighs very little, so craft as many as you need for armor progression.
Why You Need Sacred Oil
Sacred oil is required for Tier 5 armor recipes. You cannot advance the armor tier without it, so this material gates part of Fellhollow progression.
It is also used in some advanced crafting lines, so farming a good supply early saves time later.
Final Blurb
Sacred oil looks confusing at first, but it only needs bonemeal from undead enemies and ectoplasm from lost souls or withering hearts. Grind the bones, process the hearts, brew the mixture, and you’ll have everything needed for Tier 5 armor upgrades.

Only undead bones that grind into necrotic bonemeal.
Does the cauldron require anything extra
Yes. A clay vessel is required to complete the recipe.
How many sacred oil do I need for armor
