If you’re tired of your sword swinging like a damp noodle, it might be time to sharpen it—literally. The Whetstone in RuneScape: Dragonwilds gives your melee weapon a nice little boost in damage, and yes, it stacks with damage-boosting spells. So if you want to hit harder without doing anything extra mid-fight, this is a solid upgrade.
What the Whetstone Does
Using a Whetstone will temporarily boost your melee weapon’s damage. It doesn’t replace spells or other buffs—you can stack it alongside those for a real punchy combo. Think of it as a pre-fight snack for your sword.
How to Craft a Whetstone
You’ll need to use a Crafting Table, and the recipe is pretty basic.
Ingredients:
Granite ×5
Stone ×10
Output:
Whetstone ×1
Once you’ve crafted it, it’ll show up in your inventory as a consumable item.
Where to Get the Materials
Stone: Found all over—just mine any basic rock pile.
Granite: Look for rockier biomes like mountain cliffs or dry riverbeds. You’ll need a higher-level pickaxe to gather it quickly.
When to Use It
Before boss fights
When clearing higher-level enemy camps
Stacking with spells like Internal Alchemy for full buff value
Just don’t forget to reapply it when the effect wears off—this isn’t a permanent upgrade.
Final Blurb
The Whetstone is easy to craft, stacks with other damage boosts, and makes your melee weapons feel a little less sad. If you're heading into tougher areas like Ghornfell or Bloodblight, bringing a few of these can make life easier.
