How to obtain Wild Anima in RuneScape Dragonwilds

To obtain Wild Anima, you must extract it from items that store this magical energy. So far, I have found that the best option is to go for Anima-Infused Bark. To get one Wild Anima, you’ll need four Anima-Infused Bark. You can find this under large trees with multiple colored leaves in Fractured Plains.

Once you get the magical bark, put it in a Kiln. This workstation is vital for many reasons, as it provides you with items likeCharcoal(an important ingredient on its own). You’ll need at least four barks to start the process. Once ready, the Wild Anima will be added to your inventory.

Chances are you’ll already have a Kiln set up by the time you get access to Fractured Plains and Anima. If not, here’s the recipe along with all the required ingredients.

All the required items are found quite easily in the starter area. To find Clay, head to the Whispering Swamp (located on the border of Fractured Plains).

Typically, you’ll need an axe to chop down trees to get resources. Anima-infused trees are too big to be cut down with an axe—even if you have theBronze Axe. Instead, you’ll have to find the trees (location marked) and look down on the ground near them.

The branches are found on the ground and can sometimes remain camouflaged. Make sure to roam around and pick as many branches as available. Head to the Kiln next to burn down the branches and get Wild Anima. The best hint for these trees is their thick barks and the inability to do damage with your axe.
