To make Padded Cloth in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, use 1 Rough Cloth and 1 Wool Cloth at a Loom. Each craft produces 1 Padded Cloth and is listed with 40 Artisan experience. Padded Cloth is a processed material used in armour, tools, backpacks, special equipment, and decorative building pieces. It is not sold in shops, so crafting is the dependable route when you need several pieces.

Padded Cloth is the finished material produced at a loom.
Because the recipe converts one of each input into one finished material, planning is straightforward: decide what you want to make, total its Padded Cloth cost, and collect the same number of Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth. A target that requires 10 Padded Cloth therefore needs 10 Rough Cloth and 10 Wool Cloth before you start using the Loom.
How to Make Padded Cloth at a Loom
The complete crafting path has only one processing step once the two cloth inputs are ready.
- Obtain the amount of Rough Cloth required for your target.
- Obtain an equal amount of Wool Cloth.
- Take both materials to a Loom.
- Select Padded Cloth in the Loom recipe list.
- Craft one Padded Cloth for every pair of one Rough Cloth and one Wool Cloth.
- Collect the finished material and move it to the bench or build menu required by your final recipe.
The Loom is the processing facility used to make cloth materials.
The Loom matters because Padded Cloth is not made at a Crafting Table, Armour Bench, or through the Build Menu. Those facilities consume Padded Cloth in later recipes, but the initial conversion of Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth takes place at the Loom.
Prepare Matching Amounts of Both Inputs
Neither input can substitute for the other. If you carry 12 Rough Cloth but only 7 Wool Cloth, you can make only 7 Padded Cloth. The remaining 5 Rough Cloth cannot be converted until you bring another 5 Wool Cloth.
Use this formula before leaving storage:
Padded Cloth target = Rough Cloth needed = Wool Cloth needed
| Padded Cloth target | Rough Cloth needed | Wool Cloth needed | Total input items |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 10 |
| 10 | 10 | 10 | 20 |
| 20 | 20 | 20 | 40 |
| 50 | 50 | 50 | 100 |
A full stack holds 50 Padded Cloth. Filling that stack from the recipe requires 50 Rough Cloth and 50 Wool Cloth. You do not need to make a full stack for ordinary equipment, but the stack limit is useful when planning storage for repeated armour projects or large decorative builds.
How Much Padded Cloth You Need
The right quantity depends on the final item. A single helmet, medal, banner, or small decoration may use only 1 Padded Cloth, while a complete three-piece armour group can require considerably more. Craft for a named target rather than converting every cloth material in storage without a plan.
The following targets provide useful reference points:
| Target | Padded Cloth needed | Rough Cloth needed | Wool Cloth needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Helmet | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Iron Platebody | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Iron Platelegs | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Ava's Accumulator | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Angler's Hat | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Lumber Backpack | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Ascension Core | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Padded Cloth Pile | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Padded Cloth Bin | 20 | 20 | 20 |
These totals cover only the Padded Cloth chain. Each final recipe also has its own additional materials and must be completed at the listed facility.
Armour That Uses Padded Cloth
Padded Cloth is especially important for armour. The supplied recipe data includes mage, paladin, iron, studded leather, and archer equipment. The amount varies by piece, so check the exact recipe before processing cloth.
| Armour piece | Facility | Padded Cloth | Other listed materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Mage Hood | Armour Bench | 3 | 2 Hard Leather, 1 Silver Bar, 1 Vault Shard |
| Dark Mage Robe Legs | Armour Bench | 6 | 4 Hard Leather, 2 Silver Bar, 2 Vault Shard |
| Dark Mage Robes | Armour Bench | 8 | 8 Hard Leather, 4 Silver Bar, 3 Vault Shard |
| Dragonkin Mage Hood | Armour Bench | 2 | 3 Hard Leather, 1 Gold Bar, 1 Vault Shard |
| Dragonkin Mage Robe Legs | Armour Bench | 4 | 6 Hard Leather, 2 Gold Bar, 2 Vault Shard |
| Dragonkin Mage Robes | Armour Bench | 6 | 10 Hard Leather, 4 Gold Bar, 3 Vault Shard |
| Gilded Paladin Helmet | Armour Bench | 1 | 4 Gold Bar, 4 Hard Leather, 1 Vault Shard |
| Gilded Paladin Chestpiece | Armour Bench | 2 | 10 Gold Bar, 6 Hard Leather, 3 Vault Shard |
| Gilded Paladin Legs | Armour Bench | 3 | 6 Gold Bar, 4 Hard Leather, 2 Vault Shard |
| Iron Helmet | Armour Bench | 1 | 4 Iron Bar, 4 Hard Leather, 1 Vault Shard |
| Iron Med Helm | Armour Bench | 1 | 4 Iron Bar, 4 Hard Leather, 1 Vault Shard |
| Iron Platebody | Armour Bench | 2 | 10 Iron Bar, 6 Hard Leather, 3 Vault Shard |
| Iron Platelegs | Armour Bench | 3 | 6 Iron Bar, 4 Hard Leather, 2 Vault Shard |
| Paladin's Helm | Armour Bench | 1 | 6 Iron Bar, 2 Hard Leather, 1 Vault Shard |
| Paladin's Platebody | Armour Bench | 2 | 12 Iron Bar, 8 Hard Leather, 3 Vault Shard |
| Paladin Platelegs | Armour Bench | 2 | 6 Iron Bar, 6 Hard Leather, 2 Vault Shard |
| Studded Leather Cowl | Armour Bench | 2 | 4 Hard Leather, 2 Iron Bar, 1 Vault Shard |
| Studded Leather Body | Armour Bench | 4 | 10 Hard Leather, 4 Iron Bar, 3 Vault Shard |
| Studded Leather Chaps | Armour Bench | 3 | 6 Hard Leather, 4 Iron Bar, 2 Vault Shard |
| Wild Archer Cowl | Armour Bench | 2 | 4 Hard Leather, 2 Gold Bar, 1 Vault Shard |
| Wild Archer Body | Armour Bench | 4 | 12 Hard Leather, 4 Gold Bar, 3 Vault Shard |
| Wild Archer Chaps | Armour Bench | 3 | 8 Hard Leather, 4 Gold Bar, 2 Vault Shard |
For the three-piece groups listed above, the Padded Cloth totals are:
- Dark Mage Hood, Robe Legs, and Robes: 17 Padded Cloth.
- Dragonkin Mage Hood, Robe Legs, and Robes: 12 Padded Cloth.
- Gilded Paladin Helmet, Chestpiece, and Legs: 6 Padded Cloth.
- Paladin's Helm, Platebody, and Platelegs: 5 Padded Cloth.
- Studded Leather Cowl, Body, and Chaps: 9 Padded Cloth.
- Wild Archer Cowl, Body, and Chaps: 9 Padded Cloth.
Those totals translate directly into matching Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth requirements. For example, the listed Dark Mage pieces require 17 Rough Cloth and 17 Wool Cloth to produce their 17 Padded Cloth. The calculation does not include their Hard Leather, Silver Bars, or Vault Shards.
Tools, Backpacks, and Special Equipment
Padded Cloth is not limited to armour. Several utility and progression recipes use it at different crafting facilities.
| Product | Facility | Padded Cloth | Other listed materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angler's Hat | Crafting Table | 4 | 4 Rough Cloth, 4 Swamp Thread |
| Ava's Accumulator | Armour Bench | 4 | 2 Oak Logs, 1 Iron Bar, 5 Law Rune |
| Ascension Core | Mystic Forge | 10 | 99 Ascension Shard at Power Level 4, 10 Iron Bar, 10 Dire Wolf Leather |
| Iron Secateurs | Blacksmith's Bench | 2 | 2 Iron Bar |
| Lumber Backpack | Armour Bench | 2 | 3 Dire Wolf Leather, 1 Iron Logging Axe, 3 Hollow Bark |
| Steel Watering Can | Blacksmith's Bench | 2 | 6 Steel Bar |
This table also shows why making Padded Cloth is often only one part of a larger preparation job. The Loom produces the processed cloth, but the finished item may require the Crafting Table, Armour Bench, Mystic Forge, or Blacksmith's Bench. Bring the cloth to the correct final facility after processing it.
The Ascension Core has the largest Padded Cloth cost among these listed utility and special recipes at 10. If that is your target, prepare 10 Rough Cloth and 10 Wool Cloth, then reserve the resulting Padded Cloth rather than spending it on smaller recipes along the way.
Building and Decorative Uses
Padded Cloth can also be spent directly through the Build Menu. Small decorations usually cost one or two pieces, but storage-style decorative objects can consume much more.
| Build Menu product | Padded Cloth | Other listed materials |
|---|---|---|
| Agility Flag | 1 | 1 Oak Logs, 1 Warped Feathers |
| Bronze Medal | 1 | 1 Bronze Leaf |
| Silver Medal | 1 | 1 Silver Leaf |
| Gold Medal | 1 | 1 Gold Leaf |
| Piece of Padded Cloth | 1 | None listed |
| Padded Cloth Pile | 5 | None listed |
| Padded Cloth Bin | 20 | 4 Ash Logs |
| Scarecrow | 3 | 8 Oak Logs, 1 Watermelon, 10 Wheat |
| Textile Kit | 1 | 1 Coarse Thread, 1 Wool Thread, 1 Rough Cloth, 1 Wool Cloth |
The five deity banner groups—Armadyl, Bandos, Guthix, Saradomin, and Zamorak—share the same listed material pattern. Banner variants 01 through 03 cost 1 Padded Cloth and 6 Ash Logs each. Flag variants 01 through 06 cost 2 Padded Cloth and 12 Ash Logs each.
If you want one banner and one flag from a chosen group, reserve 3 Padded Cloth and 18 Ash Logs. Making all three banner variants for one group requires 3 Padded Cloth and 18 Ash Logs. Making all six flag variants for one group requires 12 Padded Cloth and 72 Ash Logs. These are planning totals derived from the individual recipes, so they help prevent repeated trips between material storage and the Build Menu.
A Practical Batch-Crafting Plan
Use a short target-first routine whenever several recipes compete for the same cloth:
- Write down the exact equipment or building pieces you intend to make.
- Add only their Padded Cloth costs.
- Collect that total in both Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth.
- Use the Loom to create the required Padded Cloth.
- Separate any cloth reserved for expensive targets such as an Ascension Core or complete armour group.
- Take each reserved batch to its final facility with the other required materials.
Suppose you want an Iron Platebody, Iron Platelegs, Iron Secateurs, and a Steel Watering Can. Their Padded Cloth costs are 2, 3, 2, and 2, for a combined total of 9. Your Loom batch therefore needs 9 Rough Cloth and 9 Wool Cloth. You must separately prepare the Iron Bars, Hard Leather, Vault Shards, and Steel Bars required by the final recipes.
For another example, a Lumber Backpack and Ava's Accumulator require 2 and 4 Padded Cloth. Craft 6 Padded Cloth from 6 Rough Cloth and 6 Wool Cloth, then split the output into the two Armour Bench recipes. This method keeps the cloth calculation separate from the more complicated ingredient lists.
Other Ways to Obtain Padded Cloth
The item data lists Textile Salvage as a source of 1 Padded Cloth with a rarity value of 16.67/100. This can provide an individual piece, but it is not a replacement for production planning when a recipe needs a large batch. The Loom recipe has fixed inputs and output, making it the clear route for calculating exactly how much material to prepare.
Padded Cloth is not sold in any shops. If you are missing enough for a recipe, check whether you still have matching Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth available, then return to the Loom. Searching shop inventories will not complete the material chain.
Padded Cloth Checklist
Before leaving your base or committing materials, verify the following:
- Your chosen recipe's exact Padded Cloth cost.
- An equal number of Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth.
- Access to a Loom for making the processed material.
- Enough inventory or storage space for the finished cloth, which stacks to 50.
- The correct final facility for your target item.
- Every additional ingredient required by that final recipe.
The essential rule is simple: one Rough Cloth plus one Wool Cloth at a Loom makes one Padded Cloth. Calculate the final recipe first, gather both inputs in equal quantities, and keep the resulting cloth reserved for the armour, tool, backpack, special item, or building piece you actually intend to make.
