Every quest, boss, vestige, lore scrap and achievement in Ashenfall, checkable. Every recipe and drop, and where to find it. Or turn Unwritten on and find it yourself. Almanac for Dragonwilds is a free, unofficial companion for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, made for the couch: keep the game on the screen and the checklist on your phone or iPad. UNWRITTEN Reading a wiki spoils the game it is about. Turn Unwritten on and the Almanac shows you the name of a thing and nothing else until you have done it: no locations, no drops, no recipe you cannot make yet. Follow the main quest line and a zone opens, map and all. Already playing? Say how far along the main quest line you are and the Almanac catches up from there. Stuck? Ask for a hint, from a nudge to the exact spot. The Almanac counts every hint, and the tally is yours to share. LEDGER Tick off quests, bosses, vestiges, lore scraps, agility courses and treasure chests zone by zone, with a completion ring for each region and for the whole game. Achievements show Steam's global unlock rates. Hidden achievements stay hidden until you ask. A What next card names the one main-line step to do now and what to make or explore after it. CODEX Items, weapons, armour, tools, trinkets, food, monsters and bosses with their drop tables, spells, skill perks by level, NPCs and what they sell, resource nodes. One search covers the whole Almanac from every tab, accents and all, and a star saves any page. A loadout planner adds up your gear and the power level it gives you. RECIPES Every recipe with its workstation, skill and XP, the full material tree with raw totals, and how it is unlocked: automatically, at a skill level, or from a plan, pattern, vestige or recipe book and where that comes from. Put recipes on a Needed list to see what is left to gather, and where. MAP A map of Ashenfall drawn by the Almanac itself, from the coordinates the community has recorded and nothing else: regions shaded by how much has been found in them, named, with a mark at every temple, ruin, shrine, keep, camp, vault and Nodestone, the fast-travel network joined up, and panels for the vaults and caves that sit off the map. Every entry opens a map of exactly its places in one tap, and Back returns you to where you were. Tap a marker for what it is, mark it found, and drop your own pins for your base or anything you name. The Survey is drawn from community location data, not from the game's map. WHERE Every known location of a thing, grouped by region and landmark with map coordinates, plus who drops it, who sells it and which chests hold it. WIDGET A Ledger widget for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen: your overall progress and the next things left in the zone you are working through. ROADMAP Announced updates, the full update history, and live patch notes from Steam. Made for the couch: works offline, no sign-in, nothing tracked. Every entry links to its source page on the community-written RuneScape: Dragonwilds Wiki. Data as of 1 October 2026, for game version 1.0.0.6.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Almanac for Dragonwilds at none against MapGenie's 1. Almanac for Dragonwilds also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 26 months). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
