# How to Upload a Save to Your RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server (/docs/runescape-dragonwilds/import-save)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

The server loads the latest `.sav` file from `RSDragonwilds/Saved/Savegames/`. If the folder is empty, it creates a new default world.

> **DO NOT rename save files.** The server expects the original filename. Renaming causes progress loss.

Create a Custom World and Upload [#create-a-custom-world-and-upload]

To use a world with custom settings (Standard, Custom, Creative):

1. Run Dragonwilds locally via Steam
2. Create a new world with your desired settings
3. Enter the world and wait for textures to load (\~1–2 minutes)
4. Exit the world
5. Follow the upload steps above — copy the `.sav` from your local `SaveGames` to the server
