Here's exactly where RuneScape: Dragonwilds keeps your world and character saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before wipes or moving PCs.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\SaveGames. World saves live here; your character is in the sibling folder Saved\SaveCharacters.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\SaveCharacters
Character files sit here, separate from world saves. Settings/keybinds are under %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\Config\Windows. Back up SaveGames AND SaveCharacters together or a restored world may miss its character.
Cloud saves
Dragonwilds saves locally under AppData\Local; if Steam Cloud is enabled for the game your saves also sync to your Steam account, so a fresh PC pulls them after first launch. If a local and cloud copy disagree after offline play, keep the newer one so you don't roll back progress.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved and press Enter.
- Open SaveGames for worlds and SaveCharacters for your character.
- Copy both folders somewhere safe before a big update, wipe, or moving to a new PC.
Save problems & fixes
My Dragonwilds world is gone after an update or crash
Close the game fully, then look in %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\SaveGames for a backup or older copy; if Steam Cloud is on, verify files (right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity) so Steam re-pulls the cloud save.
The SaveGames folder is empty
Enable 'Hidden items' in File Explorer and make sure you've launched and saved at least once so RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved is created. Character data may still be present under SaveCharacters.
FAQ
Where is the RuneScape: Dragonwilds save file on PC?
At C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved\SaveGames (worlds) and \SaveCharacters (character). Press Win+R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved.
How do I back up my Dragonwilds save?
Copy both the SaveGames and SaveCharacters folders out of %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDRAGONWILDS\Saved to a safe place, then paste them back to restore.
Why can't I see the AppData folder?
AppData\Local is hidden by default. In File Explorer open the View menu and enable 'Hidden items', or just use the Win+R %LOCALAPPDATA% shortcut which jumps straight into it.
