How To Get Bloodwood Sap in RuneScape Dragonwilds

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-04-24 08:45:54
The Dragonwilds expansion of RuneScape introduces a treacherous new region—the Bloodblight Swamp—where players must gather Bloodwood Sap, a crucial ingredient for crafting the Challenge Horn. However, this area is filled with deadly toxins and hostile creatures, making preparation essential.
This guide will cover everything you need to know, including:
  • How to find the Bloodwood Tree
  • Surviving the swamp’s poison with Antipoison Potions
  • Crafting a Smithing Anvil for better gear
  • Making an Iron Logging Axe to harvest the sap

Step 1: Locating the Bloodwood Tree


The Bloodwood Sap can only be obtained from the Bloodwood Tree, a massive red-leaved tree deep within the Bloodblight Swamp.

How to Get There:


  • Start at the Fractured Plains entrance of the swamp.
  • Head south until you reach a broken bridge.
  • Cross the bridge to enter a large enemy camp.
  • In the center of the camp, you’ll find the towering Bloodwood Tree, with glowing red sap at its base.

  • ⚠️ Warning: The swamp’s toxic environment will rapidly drain your health if you’re unprepared.

    Step 2: Surviving the Bloodblight Swamp – Antipoison Potions


    The swamp’s air is poisonous, meaning you’ll need Antipoison Potions to survive. Each dose lasts 300 seconds (5 minutes), so bring multiple potions for extended exploration.

    How to Craft Antipoison Potions:


    Ingredients Needed:
    • Harralander (found in the Whispering Swamp)
    • Bittercap Mushroom (also in the Whispering Swamp)
    • Clay (mined from clay deposits)

    Crafting Steps:
  • Make a Clay Vessel:
    • Use Clay on a Pottery Wheel to shape it.
    • Fire it in a Kiln to harden.
  • Brew the Potion:
    • Combine Harralander, Bittercap Mushroom, and the Clay Vessel in a Brewing Cauldron.

  • 💡 Pro Tip: Craft at least 4-5 potions before entering the swamp to avoid running out mid-exploration.

    Step 3: Crafting a Smithing Anvil for Better Gear


    Before facing the swamp’s dangers, upgrading your equipment is crucial. The Smithing Anvil unlocks Tier 3-4 weapons and armor, making combat and survival easier.

    How to Build a Smithing Anvil:


    Materials Needed:


    • Stone Blocks x8 (mine from rocks)
    • Copper Bars x4 (smelt Copper Ore in a Furnace)
    • Oak Logs x6 (chop Oak Trees)


    Once built, interact with the anvil to access advanced crafting recipes.


    Step 4: Crafting an Iron Logging Axe to Harvest Bloodwood Sap


    The Bloodwood Tree is too tough for basic axes—you’ll need an Iron Logging Axe to extract the sap.

    How to Make an Iron Logging Axe:


    Materials Needed:


    • Iron Bars x6 (smelt Iron Ore in a Furnace)
    • Oak Logs x4 (chop Oak Trees)
    • Wool Thread x2 (spin Soft Animal Fur/Fleece on a Spinning Wheel)


    Crafting Steps:


  • Mine Iron Ore in the Stormtouched Highlands.
  • Smelt it into Iron Bars using a Furnace.
  • Use the Smithing Anvil to combine the materials into an Iron Logging Axe.
  • Final Step: Collecting the Bloodwood Sap


    Once you have:
    Antipoison Potions (for survival)
    Better Armor/Weapons (for combat)
    Iron Logging Axe (for harvesting)


    Follow These Steps:


  • Clear the enemy camp near the Bloodwood Tree to avoid interruptions.
  • Approach the sap deposits around the tree’s base.
  • Use the Iron Logging Axe to chop and collect the Bloodwood Sap.

  •  Success! You now have the sap needed to craft the Challenge Horn and progress further in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

    Additional Tips for Bloodblight Swamp Survival


    • Bring food (like cooked meat or healing items) in case of enemy attacks.
    • Use ranged/magic attacks to avoid direct poison contact from swamp creatures.
    • Mark the Bloodwood Tree’s location on your map for future visits.


    With the right preparation, conquering the Bloodblight Swamp becomes a manageable—and rewarding—challenge. Happy adventuring!
