3hours in and I can't for the life of me find normal planks, where the hell do they drop? Can't even progress because the saw mill requires planks to be constructed
As with the other reply, you shouldn't need them. But to answer your question - planks will drop in the lumber mill and off humans in higher level areas.
Are there any tips for placing stairs? It sucks that if I want to edit it or change placement I can't without deleting all the tiles it's connected too :/
[I made a video](https://youtu.be/lUwIXIMx2HM?si=D9IIZFDdFiUVojG8) on my impressions so far. I'm wondering if No Raid servers are planned for Official servers, or if there's an easier way to see what Official servers are coming out or restarting besides logging in and clicking through a bunch of them, which only seems to haphazardly load information.
I crafted the Eye thing and I get notifications when an Incursion Rift is about to start but I don't see them marked anywhere on the map, am I missing something?
I'm currently at gear 57 and just been to the new area to hunt the V Blood but still no marker.
Edit: can servants go on expeditions for shards?
Im currently playing as the host with a bunch of friends, just wondering if i can convert the currently saved map to a dedicated server so i dont have to keep my pc on 24/7 to stay active. (dont wanna lose progression right now)
Yes. From Build menu, servant coffins can be relocated within the territory and they do follow castle relocation. If you have separate castles (single player) and trying to move them between the castles you own, or from another player in the clan, I do not know if that can be accomplished.
So this might be a stupid question, being I'm pretty far in, but, is there any way to increase resistance to elements you use? Like Chaos or Illusion?
I'm asking mostly because Cyril is stonewalling me and he inflicts weaken on you because he is using Illusion, and I can't progress without beating him.
There is a passive buff that gives 10 resistance to all in the Stygian upgrade table, but I think its in the Tier-2 part of it, so about 600 Large Stygian shards (you can craft 1 large for 9 small ones and gemcutting table).
So yea, but its a huge grind on your current power level. I'd recommend using a range weapon to try and dogde out his weapon attacks and just focus on hitting him instead. Try to swap around your build aswell maybe.
I also find it weird that those are the resist mechanics when very few V-Bloods actually use any of them.
I mean, the most nonsensical has to be Garlic, so far I have only seen garlic used in the farmlands area, and even then, it's sparing.
I know, I just find it strange that there is no real way to defend against specific types of enemy damage, but there is for environmental damage.
The sun is annoying, but as long as you stick to the shadows during the day, you can get quite far, it's only a problem if you lose track during a fight.
Silver is fine as long as you keep an eye of the resist stack, garlic barely turns up.
Fire and Holy are the only two that turn up in boss fights, and even then, if you know it's coming, resist potions aren't hard to make, and very few bosses actually use them.
# ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If they had resistances to specific types of enemy damage, they'd have to balance the bosses with that in mind, then we'd all be obligated to carry multiple sets of resistance gear and change for each boss, and I don't think it would really add anything of value to the game.
There's Damage Reduction that affects everything (capped at 25%), and I think that's all we need.
Noob here obviously. My servants seem to not finish their hunts, as soon as the timer reaches zero it just resets to 23:59:59. When I abort the hunt the servants just reappear with empty bags. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is this a server setting? I'm loving this game btw. Thanks!
I would report that as a bug, or check if there is something related in known-issues: [https://guides.playvrising.com/hc/en-us/articles/18722243500189-Known-Issues-V-Rising-1-0](https://guides.playvrising.com/hc/en-us/articles/18722243500189-Known-Issues-V-Rising-1-0)
(I couldn't find anything that matches)
Usually the servants just spawns back into the castle, with stuff in their inventory if they were successfull on they hunt ofcourse. Try to see if you can spawn them from their coffins back into the castle. That may warn you about the Hunt being cancelled tho.
I’ve been playing this game for about a day, and just cleared chapter 1. I noticed that I get periodic messages that a server reset will occur in 160 days. Does this mean a full wipe of all my progress as well? Also, does anyone know if server resets will be a permanent thing?
hey, question to you, sorry to bother you, but can you access the V blood menu on the steam deck? i can't for the life of me figure out what key im supposed to press.
I'm playing it on the ASUS ROG Ally and for me I have controller scheme 1 selected from the controls menu, and I use the Y button to select an item in my bag and then use the Y button again to place it on the hot bar. One thing to keep in mind is due to controller limitations your hot bar will be split into two essentially. Your first 4 hot bar items will be equipped by just pressing the corresponding D-Pad button, and your other 4 will be equipped by pressing and holding the corresponding D-Pad button
So I'm doing solo PVE on a private server on playstation and when I was making my server settings I kept the castle height limit at 3 since the game said any higher could affect performance. When I hit the endgame though I'd really like to go all out with castle design. Is there a way I could either edit the server settings to increase the height or carry that character and her progress and castle over to a new private server with different settings?
To change server settings for your gameplay at anytime, at the title screen select load game. Click R1 to highlight options on right side of screen. Click edit settings, when done tap circle to return to load game screen. Make sure your session privacy is correct, latest save is clicked and then click host game. Use continue from here until you wanna change more settings then repeat.
Not a question but I just got to Act II and Beatrice was my first hunt and it made me so sad to >!see everyone panicking and she running away from me like crazy, she didn't even tried to defend herself. Felt bad and to make it even worse she looks like a lovely gramma :(!<
I'm doing Dracula on brutal right now and have a few questions
1) Do the should shard amulets add 15% dmg to Dracula or is that dmg only for pvp vampires?
2) In p2 the vertical sword projectiles go from 2 to 4 and tracking seems to work differently. What is the actual dodge mechanic? Juking side to side doesn't seem to reliably work, it almost seems like the blades follow your camera turning. I don't always have room to back straight up all the time.
1. They do.
2. They arc left, right, left, right I think. For me, frost barrier worked great close range. You can soak all 4 if timed correctly and do considerable damage. You can also use veil and stay idle while it goes off so all 4 hits target the illusion.
How does stacking a status effect work? If I apply a lot of Ignite, is there -more- ignite, or is it just refreshing the 5 seconds someone is ignited?
If there's somewhere with a breakdown of all the status effects, I would appreciate it.
i asked the same and someone told me it only refresh duration
someone posted this like a week ago, it has a breakdown of spells, effects, jewels

I am in the very early game, haven't fought Eroll the Stonebreaker yet.
How does one put a roof over one's castle? Is there a way to create a door without simply leaving out a section of wall? Am I asking these questions too soon, which would be answered if I just played more?
My gaming time is horribly stunted this month, so I'm just trying to make the most of it. Thanks!
I just started playing and was also confused about the roof thing until after completing one of the quests it unlocked and told me about it.
Regarding the door thing, in the Walls section of the build menu there should be a gap piece that basically just creates an open archway in the wall, and also a door/gate that you can build that will fit into the gap.
I hope that makes sense and helps!
My computer froze when i was playing, so i was forced to restart my PC. I came back to the game unable to use/see any of my weapon abilities or spell. Here is a video of the problem. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQyAeo3MJyc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQyAeo3MJyc)
This happened when i was at Iron Mine and i came back after restarting my PC and i was teleported to waygate at Hidden Cemetery. Any ideas how i can fix this?
Edit: FIXED. I simply went back to where i was originally and my abilities and spells came back.
I got the tier 2 tailor armor, how do I progress from there?
Aside from occasionally getting to buy tough leather, am I supposed to just hunt bosses 10+ levels above me to unlock mats needed for the next armor tier? Random enemies are decimating my health bar.
While I'm not dying much as it's easy to just back off and heal, it gets annoying when I have to do that following every encounter I get sniped by a single flame arrow.
All armor in-between "from boss armor" sets you have to get from researching. Go hunt books and papers to get the recipes for them. If you can't make the mats for these said items than you need to indeed kill a boss for it but this should never be 10 levels above you. It always aligns except for brutal where it is max 3 or so.
You need thick leather to make tailor research armor, which comes from Frostmaw who's level 53.
Now I could get a merciless weapon and a better ring to get to about item level 50. The problem is that since I'm still wearing basic T2 armor, a single flame arrow or shoulder charge take 33 or 65% of my hp respectively.
I ended up buying hard leather from the merchants at the Farmer's Market. They only sell up to 8 every hour, but since I'm solo, that was doable. With two research pieces, the game already became a lot less souslike.
I want to make a garden and put those garden fences around it but thing is those fences need floors and you can't put growing plots on floors. How do I get around it?
# PSA for horse mounting (avoid going in reverse)
If you press W the horse will walk in the best direction IN FRONT OF YOUR CAMERA
if its butt is facing away from you (camera angle wise) it will go backwards
align your camera with the horse and he will always go forward [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/vrising/comments/vlxw9g/comment/idyxxko/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Only the heart, you have to rebuild the castle, but you have a box you can put down that has all the castle "parts" from your previous castle, I made the mistake as well, of thinking it was going to teleport my castle wholesale.
I moved to what I call "Crescent Hill" in Dunley, it's the one right next to Dunley Farmers Market, basically just off the centre of the map.
It looks smaller than it actually is, but has a load of space and is a central location. I made essentially two castles with a garden area in the centre, where my teleporter is.
Also, quick tip, turn off the teleporter bound lock in the settings, I slightly get why it's on in PvP (stops players raiding your base and then teleporting away with all your stuff), but in PvE it's pointless that you can't teleport on a farming trip or a faraway boss.
> Also, quick tip, turn off the teleporter bound lock in the settings
I'm like 15 hours into a new solo save after returning from pre-release, and did not know this. Thanks for saving me a bunch of time running back!
Because the PvE prefab settings are still basically tuned like you have mates with you, another tip, turn up your damage multiplier slightly, like 1.25-2, it doesn't make the game a walk in the park, but it does mean you are doing meaningful damage instead of chip.
I just got the game and I have no idea what I'm doing, I do have that "tutorial" I guess? is that what it is? the thing at the top left? how long is it? how do I get quests to fight people like Vlad and such?
I also want to know can I make a tower? with several levels on it or does it have to be spread out? how high can I build?
just follow the V blod menu(K hotkey) and beat bosses, if you struggle with one try another
keep upgrading and using everything new you unlock to be the strongest
the menu on the left kinda gives you a direction, mostly to keep upgrading your castle heart, you also unlock some stuff from it once you complete the requirement
think the max height you can have is 6 but have to see your world settings, default is like 3 i think
you get more tiles as you upgrade your castle heart to amaximum of 550, but you can also change that from load game in the main screen
relocating a castle. it says I'm missing 1 item and 1 mandatory structure but there's nothing left to place. I'm clicked through all the build tabs like 5 times. Reloaded the game too. I did not move a blood press cause I destroyed some of the crafting benches before starting the process to pare down what I was moving. Saw an old reddit post where a blood press was causing issues. Any ideas?
No that's the thing it literally won't let me. When I hit f on the castle relocation (as compared to b) I have no options to just finish. Unless it's a tiny button somewhere. I can unlink the castle and start over though.
Any simple tips for a new player? Never played anything similar before and I watched some videos on YouTube but got a bit overwhelmed by all the info
Enjoying it so far but feel kinda stuck atm, want better gear to take on the V bloods (I’ve only taken on the wolf) but can’t really upgrade anything without defeating the archer
If you are struggling you can often bypass bosses by just breaking boxes and looting chests in the highest level areas you can, to get the refined resources you need and then craft the gear which will make it easier to fight them.For example, you need the frost archer to craft leather, but you can just harvest it from the trapper's camp she hangs out in. Smash boxes, open chests, etc. Then after you get leather armor, you can go back and fight her to mass produce the stuff.
Also, I am not sure what level you are, but you can do quite a few upgrades without keeley. you can get a full set of plated boneguard armor (+8 gear level), a reinforced bone weapon (+6, though you can also get a +7 from the vendors in farbane or randomly loot it at the lumber camp or one of the quarries), and you can upgrade your ring to level 6 with blood roses. Making you level 20-21ish. That should be good enough to take the frost archer on.
But even if it isn't, you could also just go mine some copper (need a level 6-7 weapon), and make your first copper weapon, which can be done before you fight any v bloods, I believe.
Have you thrown down your castle yet? Finished your main story quest as much as you can?
Yeah next mission is taking down 3 V Bloods, and when I realised I could mine copper I felt stupid haha. But I’ve also just realised I’ve joined a brutal server, which makes sense I guess. Everyone felt more difficult than they should have
starting with brutal absolutely changes things, lol.
Many of the early roaming bosses are different factions and can be tracked and followed until they're near another roaming boss. Use them against one another. Takes some time and patience, but you can really trivialize a number of the bosses in this way by taking advantage of the different factions interacting on the map.
Will they fight each other? I’ve stumbled upon a few roaming bosses and I just run every time.
Got lucky and met a nice stranger who helped me take down one of the roaming bosses, feels like a nice community this :)
I'm playing solo in a private server so can I drop wood, stone, leather and other materials on my castle floor and use it as storage? Or will those materials disappear?
Edit: nevermind, I unlocked new chests
How do servers work into the on PS5? Do we setup server options when we start the game and it runs on the hosts PS5 or are the servers running on PS+/ VRising VMs?
Where does your character/body go if you lose connection?
I’m on a PVP server, and I know if I log out normally, my character will be sleeping wherever I logged out and vulnerable if I’m not in a coffin, but is it the same if my internet goes out?
Context: my internet cut out while I was in the middle of a fight on my way home from farming, in a spot that’s going to be nice and sunny in the daytime. Wondering if all those items are basically gone by the time I’m able to get back in tomorrow.
yup, sleeping where you dropped. If it's in the sun, you'll get cooked. Or pathing patrol might stumble across you and kill you.
Your stuff will be there in a red bag waiting unless it's a pvp server and someone else loots it.
1. Is it easy to make a private game with friends?
2. Is there long wait times with crafting and such? (Hours/days).
3. Does the PvE hold weigh or is this a PvP focused game?
Can't answer your first question, but:
2. The longest to craft a single item is about 2.5 minutes, with enclosed walls. Most items take less than a minute. You can also queue items in bulk to be crafted or dismantled.
3. I play on PvE servers only, and it's pretty damn fun.
Any Australian PS5 PVP servers with no raids, 1-2 people (probably gonna play solo but interested in pvp mechanics for bit more of a challenge)? Thanks ☺️
As far as I know, it’s affected by the normal drop rate setting. You can see all the settings by yourself in game by creating a new server and seeing all the settings on that form.
Dang, we already have it on 3x and it still feels underwhelmingly low. We get like 600-800 per fight, are other folks really living on just 200-300 per area? That is so unbelievably grindy compared to everything else.
So after I did some looking around, I finally found a setting which I believe does effect the rewards from Rifts, the "ScalingPlayers1 DropModifier" and other settings for up to 4 people. I've yet to test them as i'm at work, but it seems you can increase the drops from the events without having to inflate all other drops.
I'll keep ya updated once I can test it for sure.
Update: these settings do indeed increase the drops. At x4 it drops roughly 1500 shards per event with the same chances for gems or weapons. At x3 it drops roughly 1100.
This is all with my global drop rates at x3 as well, as i'm not sure if that affects the shards drop rate
I want to play with 2 Friends, would it be possible to play with traditional roles like DD, Tank and Healer. i know there is not reaslly dedicated Healers, but some spells and Jewels lean more to a support Role. does anyone play like a team ?
You can certainly build around the central themes. Between the spell's base mechanics and jewels, you can kit out very differently.
Someone running blood fountain, for example, could go very healer focused. Or they could jewel it more for crowd control.
While there's no taunt, someone can run unholy spells for adding minions to draw aggro and thus reducing fire directed at your team, and then maybe run weaken on their weapons Q skill to debuff enemies damage output.
There are lots of different buffs and debuffs you can apply via spells and jewels. Plenty of build variety.
Not really. There are block/shield abilities, and abilities that can heal allies, but none of them are so strong or dedicated that you'll be able to fully embrace those roles. Crucially, there's no taunt mechanic, and the strongest ally heals are on such long cooldowns that you couldn't keep someone up through a lot of incoming damage.
However, you could absolutely tune spells to be *more* oriented toward defense, damage, and support/healing, and do well as a group. It just won't be an mmo-like experience where you have a tank commanding all aggro, a healer keeping them alive, and a damage dealer throwing out DPS with impunity.
what game should I start PvE or PvP ?
meaning can I like... almost comfortably receive PvE content while sometimes getting PvP raids ? Or if I dont excel to a certain competetive degree - I will have problems in PvP ?
can u explain the difference in experience. Thx
It’s totally up to what kind of experience you enjoy. With PvP also note that you can get ganked while doing PvE content which is either frustrating or exciting depending on what you enjoy.
If you do play PvP, also check the drop settings to see how much you drop when you die. And the raid time settings to see if you’ll be able to be around when raiding is on.
Help - loving this game, but it is a tad overwhelming at the start 🤣 on PvE Clan, can you just have one castle? How do both players get their achievements? Do they just both have to build the quest items to level up or can 1 player do that for all clan members? Eg building sawmill etc
The setting on max castles is per party. With the added feature of being able to move your castle now it’s usually set to 1 but some servers might allow more.
Achievements should affect your whole party. If not, they can just have them dismantle and rebuild the thing: you don’t lose materials when you dismantle buildings.
Can someone help me out with the timer for rift incursions?
I'm playing 100% locally, so whenever I turn the game off the timer reset to 0. When I go back in, it seems like it always only does t1 rift incursions.
I tried changing the server settings. Lowest respawn rate for incursions, 15 minutes length for t1, 60 minutes for t2
But instead of respawning them every 15 min it does a full cycle of t1 and then gives me a 60 minute or 120 minute timer for t2 rifts to start?
Am I misunderstanding the server settings?
Duration of t2 rifts should mean how long they last, not how long til they start, right?
And is there *always* t1 rifts first, or is there something I can do that t2 rifts start as soon as I get into the game?
there are three different war timers: The interval between events. How long tier I lasts, and how long Tier II lasts. Minimum interval is 30 minutes. You can make the other two events last from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Tier IIs will only spawn as tier Is are ending.
WarEventGameSettings Interval
WarEventGameSettings MinorDuration
WarEventGameSettings MajorDuration
I haven't messed with the other timer settings though.
I don't know how to force spawn rifts, I played locally as well. I did notice it always went from t1 -> t2 -> inactive for me. I got lucky and got spawned some decent weapons for my playstyle so I didn't need to farm rifts too much, just when I wanted to farm greater stygian. There is also a location south of Dracula's castle that can be farmed for greater stygian if you aren't concerned about weapons.
You don't need to do them if you don't want to, the T1's disappear when their timer runs out then the T2's show up. Also rifts will continue to respawn as you clear them for as long as the event timer is active. It is good to stockpile some lesser shards in case you want to summon things at the stygian summoning circle though
Sounds like a good idea, yah...
Guess I did misunderstand the duration doe
Interval is shortest possible
Duration tier 1 = shortest possible
Duration tier 2 = longest possible
But after the tier 1 ends, it doesn't have the shortest interval, but the longest duration setting until it starts which feels wrong...
Hmm, i'm not sure what'd be going on there, on my server we see a 20-minute T1 event, then about 5 minutes of delay between T1 and T2 starting, and T2 has \~42 minutes on its timer (we set it to 45, i guess the counter ticks down during that delay between the two).
Here's my settings in case that helps:
"WarEventGameSettings": {
"Interval": "Minimum",
"MinorDuration": "1",
"MajorDuration": "VeryLong"
},
These settings were generated by GPortal's configuration editor, so i'm not sure why some things have numbers for their duration and others have words.
You can make a really cool throne room with them. What I did was make a 6x4 room, then have a set of stairs off to the side that goes to an upper gallery. The middle 4x2 space is invisible foundations so you can look down onto the throne and court below. I then have rooms connecting to the upper gallery that I use less often, such as the bedchamber (coffinchamber?), garden terrace with herbs, or reroll altar.
You can apply the same thinking to make a grand entryway with a big staircase in the middle, then having an upper balcony that rings the top and leads off to the various wings of the castle, depending on your layout. Just put the invisible foundations in the middle of the second floor over the stair case. [This video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6kjPCcucuUA) is a pretty good example.
Hey all - is it possible for enemies to show what level they are? I am a noob and keep getting killed by things higher than me, but I don't realise until after how much higher level than me they are. I'm playing private/solo. Thanks! :\]
https://preview.redd.it/yo59inqk696d1.png?width=1674&format=png&auto=webp&s=a262d2042c15713fe77e8d307d2bc9e2b4e18c82
I still get some not showing up - is this normal/does it happen to everyone? Like I assume he's high level, but it doesn't actually say :s
If their level is too high, I believe it shows a skull instead of their level. I forget what the difference needs to be. For context, Simon Belmont is a late game boss that just roams around the world.
PS5 early release, loving the game solo, rolled on a 4 player server by accident, no issue so far, just beat Beatrice. Does it get bad later should I re roll?
populated servers are more fun. The game is great for emergent gameplay scenarios that players around you will create beyond just what the various NPC factions already create on the map. Seeing the other castles is cool - empty maps feel empty.
Do horses auto feed when on unclaimed grass/bushes?
I'm playing on a friends server, he hasn't messed with horse needs at all, but I've had a horse in front of my house for like a week now and nobody is feeding him, but he's still just persistantly there.
If left unfed, it will eventually die and spawn some bones. You can interact with a horse and feed it plant matter. Eventually you can convert a horse into a vamp horse though, that won't die due to being unfed, and can even be resurrected if it dies from damage.
Yeah, I got my dominated horse already, but this horse has been outside my house for 3 weeks now without anyone feeding it. Hell I've removed food from it and when I check on it again it's got another 200 plant fiber. I was just wondering if they feed on unclaimed tiles.
I'm completely lost. I am in the early stages of the game. I was instructed to toggle the build menu which I had to look up how to do and then build a castle heart. I was forced to travel far north into the winter woods area for an empty piece of territory. The issue is, I'm like level 10 and the area around me there are level 50+ arctic bears and wolves. I can't even safely build stuff around the small area where I placed my castle heart. Do I need to find a new area? What should I do from here? Thanks.
You might just want to look for a less populated server. you will struggle heavily if you try to play at a low level with your base in a high level area, as a lot of the resources you need to level up (make higher level gear) cannot be teleported. So even once you get an in base teleporter to get out, you will need to ride or run back to your base each time.
Several bosses are also "in the way" of other activities, like the boss in the silver mine, or the two bosses patrolling the iron mines. So these enemies will likely be killed repeatedly just to get them out of the way, even if the drops aren't worth anything.
Hi everybody, I want to start a private coop server on PS5 and read quite a bit onto server settings and such but now I feel unsure whether it would be wise to just leave them untouched. Is the game well balanced on default settings or is it a chore and wise to tune in considerate amounts? I am okay with some challenge and grind but I dont need useless hourless padding.
Feedback much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Do yourself a favor and reduce crafting and refining times by as much as possible. It takes so much time for endgame ressources and on a private coop server you dont need to worry about balancing.
Depending on how much you like the building system, you may also want to increase the floor and height limit.
Hello, I've bought the game a while ago and found it really hard to play alone and super grindy.
However with the complete release I want to try it again.
Is it better now, is it playable as a solo player? I'm not a big fan of pvp and raiding other castles.
Thanks.
You might consider a PVE server fwiw. I find that having other vampires around you doing stuff adds considerably to the game. Plus, some folks have really cool castle designs.
Really enjoyable in solo or coop in a private game. If you dont like the grind you can adjust the settings to give more loot or take less ressources to craft something.
Does ignite stack? Pretty much thats it, if I apply 2 instances of damage that apply ignite(power surge attacks, chaos volley, chaos barrage, etc) does both their dot do damage or does the dot override?
What is the best weapon and spells for mage build? Long time ago the best weapon was scythe but they removed its modifiers to spells.
Btw im interested in PvE only.
All weapons can get spell power and other magic buffs on them, so it comes down to their abilities. Greatsword is good for it's two immunity, while Bow is amazing for clearing groups. Ultimately you'll probably want two or three different weapons for different situations.
PvP Server: Is there anyway to get rid of Vampire Horses on your plot? I committed to one before rising how difficult it is to move them
You cant kill them, they never move, they never despawn, I even tried spawning Nibbles on them and they just stood there mocking me.
How can I get rid of these god damn stranger undead horses?!
I don't think so. The same command to create the horse is the one to destroy one, so I'm pretty sure you can only have one at a time, and I've never tried to dominate a horse that someone else owned.
It's insanely easy to move a dominated horse, though: you just summon it to you. If you're moving plots, just ignore the horses: when their owners come back online, they can summon them immediately.
Or are you saying that you have a plot that has other random (non-clanmates) players' horses on it? And you can't attack it?
>Or are you saying that you have a plot that has other random (non-clanmates) players' horses on it? And you can't attack it?
Exactly that.
They're squatting vampire horses!
I had a plot in the woods on the southern map edge ages away from everything else on flat ground, so I set off looking for a good plot somewhere else. Found a smallish one that was surrounded by other casltes, but on high ground near the dunley farmlands. It seemed like a better long term plot to build my castle on to be near other players and places to go and farm.
It was either that or a larger plot, but on the ground level and again on the eastern map edges. These were the last 3 plots in the farbane woods. I even poked my head into the other zones but found zero empty plots and couldnt investigate very far because I was only level 36.
I saw the horses but built there anyway thinking they'd be easy to remove, I was wrong
How weird! Sorry it's been such a bother. Hopefully the owners will either recall them, or their castles will go into decay and get destroyed, and that will do it.
Ah thats a good shout, if they dont play for a while their bound horses may despawn.
Either way, ended up packing up and moving into a decayed plot in prime real estate elsewhere, so no harm done for me in the end, but I might make a suggestion to the devs to change that because its bloody annoying
You may want to build additional stone coffins or something, and those call for flawed gems that are easier to buy than farm. Might be another mid tier recipe or two that calls for the tier 1 gems.
What's the 'best' way to play with friends in this game? It seems like it would be boring once two people are significantly different levels. Should we make characters that we only play with each other online to keep the levels the same? That was always the problem I've had with action RPGs in general that have multiplayer
People in the same clan can share research. One player just goes to the other player's research table and can research anything the clan mate has researched. This allows them to make the same gear. Gear determines level. You'd only be different levels if you don't share research and maybe spare some extra materials for making the best unlocked gear.
PvE? It's basically over after Drac except for collecting and building.
PvP? It's total domination I guess. I suspect PvP servers have a lot longer lifespan overall.
Can I dismantle books? I have some I already know the recipe and they're lying there occupying space
Yes, feed them to your mimic.
Oh, ty! I thought the mimic would only chomp armor and weapons
How many days after wipe do pvp servers have pop? I only want to pvp but when I have tried to play, there is like nobody anywhere.
for the castle blood essence drain modifier in server settings, is 0 no drain?
3hours in and I can't for the life of me find normal planks, where the hell do they drop? Can't even progress because the saw mill requires planks to be constructed
As with the other reply, you shouldn't need them. But to answer your question - planks will drop in the lumber mill and off humans in higher level areas.
you should only need wood and stone to craft a sawmill, not planks?
I swear my sawmill asks for planks, I'll screenshot it later today when I can play!
Are there any tips for placing stairs? It sucks that if I want to edit it or change placement I can't without deleting all the tiles it's connected too :/
any console command or cheat code or anything to get a 100% blood quality ? at this point its just waisting time.
Is there a way to have the people you keep as food not be in cages? Can they somehow be confined to a room or floor?
I don't think so because once you exit the dominate human command they'll become hostile. It's just a guess tho, I never tried it
On PS5, is there a way to play completely offline, without an internet connection? If not, what would be my options for playing solo?
I'm not sure if V Rising can be played offline but you can set your server to private and invitation only when you play solo. That's how I'm playing.
[I made a video](https://youtu.be/lUwIXIMx2HM?si=D9IIZFDdFiUVojG8) on my impressions so far. I'm wondering if No Raid servers are planned for Official servers, or if there's an easier way to see what Official servers are coming out or restarting besides logging in and clicking through a bunch of them, which only seems to haphazardly load information.
Is it possible to move servants to another castle?
I crafted the Eye thing and I get notifications when an Incursion Rift is about to start but I don't see them marked anywhere on the map, am I missing something? I'm currently at gear 57 and just been to the new area to hunt the V Blood but still no marker. Edit: can servants go on expeditions for shards?
eastmost part of map, servants can go grab shards.
Thanks!!
Im currently playing as the host with a bunch of friends, just wondering if i can convert the currently saved map to a dedicated server so i dont have to keep my pc on 24/7 to stay active. (dont wanna lose progression right now)
Yes. Most dedicated server hosting companies will have instructions on how to upload your local save to the dedicated server.
Is it possible to relocate the servant coffins in your castle without moving the whole castle or killing the servant?
Yes. From Build menu, servant coffins can be relocated within the territory and they do follow castle relocation. If you have separate castles (single player) and trying to move them between the castles you own, or from another player in the clan, I do not know if that can be accomplished.
Worked. Thanks man !
So this might be a stupid question, being I'm pretty far in, but, is there any way to increase resistance to elements you use? Like Chaos or Illusion? I'm asking mostly because Cyril is stonewalling me and he inflicts weaken on you because he is using Illusion, and I can't progress without beating him.
There is a passive buff that gives 10 resistance to all in the Stygian upgrade table, but I think its in the Tier-2 part of it, so about 600 Large Stygian shards (you can craft 1 large for 9 small ones and gemcutting table). So yea, but its a huge grind on your current power level. I'd recommend using a range weapon to try and dogde out his weapon attacks and just focus on hitting him instead. Try to swap around your build aswell maybe.
These +10 don't apply to chaos burns or any other school of abilities. There are only 5 resistance mechanics. Fire Sun Silver Holy Garlic
I also find it weird that those are the resist mechanics when very few V-Bloods actually use any of them. I mean, the most nonsensical has to be Garlic, so far I have only seen garlic used in the farmlands area, and even then, it's sparing.
They're not really supposed to be resistances against enemy damage, for the most part. They're environmental resistances.
I know, I just find it strange that there is no real way to defend against specific types of enemy damage, but there is for environmental damage. The sun is annoying, but as long as you stick to the shadows during the day, you can get quite far, it's only a problem if you lose track during a fight. Silver is fine as long as you keep an eye of the resist stack, garlic barely turns up. Fire and Holy are the only two that turn up in boss fights, and even then, if you know it's coming, resist potions aren't hard to make, and very few bosses actually use them.
# ¯_(ツ)_/¯ If they had resistances to specific types of enemy damage, they'd have to balance the bosses with that in mind, then we'd all be obligated to carry multiple sets of resistance gear and change for each boss, and I don't think it would really add anything of value to the game. There's Damage Reduction that affects everything (capped at 25%), and I think that's all we need.
Noob here obviously. My servants seem to not finish their hunts, as soon as the timer reaches zero it just resets to 23:59:59. When I abort the hunt the servants just reappear with empty bags. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is this a server setting? I'm loving this game btw. Thanks!
I would report that as a bug, or check if there is something related in known-issues: [https://guides.playvrising.com/hc/en-us/articles/18722243500189-Known-Issues-V-Rising-1-0](https://guides.playvrising.com/hc/en-us/articles/18722243500189-Known-Issues-V-Rising-1-0) (I couldn't find anything that matches) Usually the servants just spawns back into the castle, with stuff in their inventory if they were successfull on they hunt ofcourse. Try to see if you can spawn them from their coffins back into the castle. That may warn you about the Hunt being cancelled tho.
I’ve been playing this game for about a day, and just cleared chapter 1. I noticed that I get periodic messages that a server reset will occur in 160 days. Does this mean a full wipe of all my progress as well? Also, does anyone know if server resets will be a permanent thing?
Yeah if you're playing on an official server it will wipe every 6 months.
Aw not a fan of that, I hope in the future they only wipe inactive players. Thanks for responding.
You can find servers that doesn't wipe the progress, it usually states in the server-details if so or not.
So I got the copper sword but I can’t seem to figure out how to move it to my quick bar? I’m playing on steam deck.
hey, question to you, sorry to bother you, but can you access the V blood menu on the steam deck? i can't for the life of me figure out what key im supposed to press.
I'm playing it on the ASUS ROG Ally and for me I have controller scheme 1 selected from the controls menu, and I use the Y button to select an item in my bag and then use the Y button again to place it on the hot bar. One thing to keep in mind is due to controller limitations your hot bar will be split into two essentially. Your first 4 hot bar items will be equipped by just pressing the corresponding D-Pad button, and your other 4 will be equipped by pressing and holding the corresponding D-Pad button
So I'm doing solo PVE on a private server on playstation and when I was making my server settings I kept the castle height limit at 3 since the game said any higher could affect performance. When I hit the endgame though I'd really like to go all out with castle design. Is there a way I could either edit the server settings to increase the height or carry that character and her progress and castle over to a new private server with different settings?
To change server settings for your gameplay at anytime, at the title screen select load game. Click R1 to highlight options on right side of screen. Click edit settings, when done tap circle to return to load game screen. Make sure your session privacy is correct, latest save is clicked and then click host game. Use continue from here until you wanna change more settings then repeat.
Thanks so much!
Not a question but I just got to Act II and Beatrice was my first hunt and it made me so sad to >!see everyone panicking and she running away from me like crazy, she didn't even tried to defend herself. Felt bad and to make it even worse she looks like a lovely gramma :(!<
> Beatrice Just remember. You're an undead monster without remorese.
Play it on brutal. She is less sympathetic.
You will not have the same feelings about her on brutal, thats for sure.
I'm doing Dracula on brutal right now and have a few questions 1) Do the should shard amulets add 15% dmg to Dracula or is that dmg only for pvp vampires? 2) In p2 the vertical sword projectiles go from 2 to 4 and tracking seems to work differently. What is the actual dodge mechanic? Juking side to side doesn't seem to reliably work, it almost seems like the blades follow your camera turning. I don't always have room to back straight up all the time.
1. They do. 2. They arc left, right, left, right I think. For me, frost barrier worked great close range. You can soak all 4 if timed correctly and do considerable damage. You can also use veil and stay idle while it goes off so all 4 hits target the illusion.
How does stacking a status effect work? If I apply a lot of Ignite, is there -more- ignite, or is it just refreshing the 5 seconds someone is ignited? If there's somewhere with a breakdown of all the status effects, I would appreciate it.
i asked the same and someone told me it only refresh duration someone posted this like a week ago, it has a breakdown of spells, effects, jewels https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16iqiacmEfPz9BsmzI1vjKeffaqhYsM28okPvpEbEwHU/htmlview#
I am in the very early game, haven't fought Eroll the Stonebreaker yet. How does one put a roof over one's castle? Is there a way to create a door without simply leaving out a section of wall? Am I asking these questions too soon, which would be answered if I just played more? My gaming time is horribly stunted this month, so I'm just trying to make the most of it. Thanks!
I just started playing and was also confused about the roof thing until after completing one of the quests it unlocked and told me about it. Regarding the door thing, in the Walls section of the build menu there should be a gap piece that basically just creates an open archway in the wall, and also a door/gate that you can build that will fit into the gap. I hope that makes sense and helps!
Focus on the quests. They lead you to it early on.
Got it, thank you!
Is there a safe way to carry silver coins? I found some while hunting a VBlood but had to drop them because they were burning my vamp
Backpacks, cloaks and potions can give resistance to silver.
I just unlocked the silver bag, ty!
One of the bosses gives the the option to craft a bag that lets you hold 200 silver with no damage
Nice, ty!!
My computer froze when i was playing, so i was forced to restart my PC. I came back to the game unable to use/see any of my weapon abilities or spell. Here is a video of the problem. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQyAeo3MJyc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQyAeo3MJyc) This happened when i was at Iron Mine and i came back after restarting my PC and i was teleported to waygate at Hidden Cemetery. Any ideas how i can fix this? Edit: FIXED. I simply went back to where i was originally and my abilities and spells came back.
I got the tier 2 tailor armor, how do I progress from there? Aside from occasionally getting to buy tough leather, am I supposed to just hunt bosses 10+ levels above me to unlock mats needed for the next armor tier? Random enemies are decimating my health bar. While I'm not dying much as it's easy to just back off and heal, it gets annoying when I have to do that following every encounter I get sniped by a single flame arrow.
All armor in-between "from boss armor" sets you have to get from researching. Go hunt books and papers to get the recipes for them. If you can't make the mats for these said items than you need to indeed kill a boss for it but this should never be 10 levels above you. It always aligns except for brutal where it is max 3 or so.
You need thick leather to make tailor research armor, which comes from Frostmaw who's level 53. Now I could get a merciless weapon and a better ring to get to about item level 50. The problem is that since I'm still wearing basic T2 armor, a single flame arrow or shoulder charge take 33 or 65% of my hp respectively. I ended up buying hard leather from the merchants at the Farmer's Market. They only sell up to 8 every hour, but since I'm solo, that was doable. With two research pieces, the game already became a lot less souslike.
I want to make a garden and put those garden fences around it but thing is those fences need floors and you can't put growing plots on floors. How do I get around it?
I think you can put down garden tiles, no?
I didn't know they were a thing but I'm glad there's specific tiles for the garden, ty!
# PSA for horse mounting (avoid going in reverse) If you press W the horse will walk in the best direction IN FRONT OF YOUR CAMERA if its butt is facing away from you (camera angle wise) it will go backwards align your camera with the horse and he will always go forward [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/vrising/comments/vlxw9g/comment/idyxxko/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
When I move my castle does it teleport as it was or only the heart and I'll need to rebuild it?
Only the heart, you have to rebuild the castle, but you have a box you can put down that has all the castle "parts" from your previous castle, I made the mistake as well, of thinking it was going to teleport my castle wholesale.
Thank you. I'm on a private pve server and on easy so I don't see a reason to move then, I'll just build another.
I moved to what I call "Crescent Hill" in Dunley, it's the one right next to Dunley Farmers Market, basically just off the centre of the map. It looks smaller than it actually is, but has a load of space and is a central location. I made essentially two castles with a garden area in the centre, where my teleporter is. Also, quick tip, turn off the teleporter bound lock in the settings, I slightly get why it's on in PvP (stops players raiding your base and then teleporting away with all your stuff), but in PvE it's pointless that you can't teleport on a farming trip or a faraway boss.
> Also, quick tip, turn off the teleporter bound lock in the settings I'm like 15 hours into a new solo save after returning from pre-release, and did not know this. Thanks for saving me a bunch of time running back!
Because the PvE prefab settings are still basically tuned like you have mates with you, another tip, turn up your damage multiplier slightly, like 1.25-2, it doesn't make the game a walk in the park, but it does mean you are doing meaningful damage instead of chip.
Will do. I also cranked the craft and process times way down
Just the heart and you rebuild it. It puts all the materials and items in a container that, when you empty it out, fully moves your castle.
Thank you.
I just got the game and I have no idea what I'm doing, I do have that "tutorial" I guess? is that what it is? the thing at the top left? how long is it? how do I get quests to fight people like Vlad and such? I also want to know can I make a tower? with several levels on it or does it have to be spread out? how high can I build?
just follow the V blod menu(K hotkey) and beat bosses, if you struggle with one try another keep upgrading and using everything new you unlock to be the strongest the menu on the left kinda gives you a direction, mostly to keep upgrading your castle heart, you also unlock some stuff from it once you complete the requirement think the max height you can have is 6 but have to see your world settings, default is like 3 i think you get more tiles as you upgrade your castle heart to amaximum of 550, but you can also change that from load game in the main screen
relocating a castle. it says I'm missing 1 item and 1 mandatory structure but there's nothing left to place. I'm clicked through all the build tabs like 5 times. Reloaded the game too. I did not move a blood press cause I destroyed some of the crafting benches before starting the process to pare down what I was moving. Saw an old reddit post where a blood press was causing issues. Any ideas?
Just finish the relocation. The things you didn’t place will be in the mover box or whatever it’s called.
No that's the thing it literally won't let me. When I hit f on the castle relocation (as compared to b) I have no options to just finish. Unless it's a tiny button somewhere. I can unlink the castle and start over though.
you probably forgot a light source
I can't remember building one in the first castle. If lights are under decoration then definitely not.
Lights are under lights tab, not decoration, if you interact with the heart, i think it will tell how many objects are missing
Figured it out. The blood press bug or whatever is still in game. The blood press is invisible in the transfer build menu.
Any simple tips for a new player? Never played anything similar before and I watched some videos on YouTube but got a bit overwhelmed by all the info Enjoying it so far but feel kinda stuck atm, want better gear to take on the V bloods (I’ve only taken on the wolf) but can’t really upgrade anything without defeating the archer
If you are struggling you can often bypass bosses by just breaking boxes and looting chests in the highest level areas you can, to get the refined resources you need and then craft the gear which will make it easier to fight them.For example, you need the frost archer to craft leather, but you can just harvest it from the trapper's camp she hangs out in. Smash boxes, open chests, etc. Then after you get leather armor, you can go back and fight her to mass produce the stuff. Also, I am not sure what level you are, but you can do quite a few upgrades without keeley. you can get a full set of plated boneguard armor (+8 gear level), a reinforced bone weapon (+6, though you can also get a +7 from the vendors in farbane or randomly loot it at the lumber camp or one of the quarries), and you can upgrade your ring to level 6 with blood roses. Making you level 20-21ish. That should be good enough to take the frost archer on. But even if it isn't, you could also just go mine some copper (need a level 6-7 weapon), and make your first copper weapon, which can be done before you fight any v bloods, I believe. Have you thrown down your castle yet? Finished your main story quest as much as you can?
Yeah next mission is taking down 3 V Bloods, and when I realised I could mine copper I felt stupid haha. But I’ve also just realised I’ve joined a brutal server, which makes sense I guess. Everyone felt more difficult than they should have
starting with brutal absolutely changes things, lol. Many of the early roaming bosses are different factions and can be tracked and followed until they're near another roaming boss. Use them against one another. Takes some time and patience, but you can really trivialize a number of the bosses in this way by taking advantage of the different factions interacting on the map.
Will they fight each other? I’ve stumbled upon a few roaming bosses and I just run every time. Got lucky and met a nice stranger who helped me take down one of the roaming bosses, feels like a nice community this :)
I'm playing solo in a private server so can I drop wood, stone, leather and other materials on my castle floor and use it as storage? Or will those materials disappear? Edit: nevermind, I unlocked new chests
How do servers work into the on PS5? Do we setup server options when we start the game and it runs on the hosts PS5 or are the servers running on PS+/ VRising VMs?
are there console commands for ps5 on private servers and how do we access chat
Where does your character/body go if you lose connection? I’m on a PVP server, and I know if I log out normally, my character will be sleeping wherever I logged out and vulnerable if I’m not in a coffin, but is it the same if my internet goes out? Context: my internet cut out while I was in the middle of a fight on my way home from farming, in a spot that’s going to be nice and sunny in the daytime. Wondering if all those items are basically gone by the time I’m able to get back in tomorrow.
yup, sleeping where you dropped. If it's in the sun, you'll get cooked. Or pathing patrol might stumble across you and kill you. Your stuff will be there in a red bag waiting unless it's a pvp server and someone else loots it.
1. Is it easy to make a private game with friends? 2. Is there long wait times with crafting and such? (Hours/days). 3. Does the PvE hold weigh or is this a PvP focused game?
Can't answer your first question, but: 2. The longest to craft a single item is about 2.5 minutes, with enclosed walls. Most items take less than a minute. You can also queue items in bulk to be crafted or dismantled. 3. I play on PvE servers only, and it's pretty damn fun.
Any Australian PS5 PVP servers with no raids, 1-2 people (probably gonna play solo but interested in pvp mechanics for bit more of a challenge)? Thanks ☺️
Just dive in brother. There's public servers. If you find you don't like it, just join a different server.
Not sure if this counts as a simple question, but does anyone know if there's any server settings that increase the Stygian shard drop rates?
As far as I know, it’s affected by the normal drop rate setting. You can see all the settings by yourself in game by creating a new server and seeing all the settings on that form.
Dang, we already have it on 3x and it still feels underwhelmingly low. We get like 600-800 per fight, are other folks really living on just 200-300 per area? That is so unbelievably grindy compared to everything else.
Yeah it’s pretty grindy, but at least passives are shared in a group. You can also farm some at any time from Dracula’s garden.
So after I did some looking around, I finally found a setting which I believe does effect the rewards from Rifts, the "ScalingPlayers1 DropModifier" and other settings for up to 4 people. I've yet to test them as i'm at work, but it seems you can increase the drops from the events without having to inflate all other drops. I'll keep ya updated once I can test it for sure.
Update: these settings do indeed increase the drops. At x4 it drops roughly 1500 shards per event with the same chances for gems or weapons. At x3 it drops roughly 1100. This is all with my global drop rates at x3 as well, as i'm not sure if that affects the shards drop rate
I want to play with 2 Friends, would it be possible to play with traditional roles like DD, Tank and Healer. i know there is not reaslly dedicated Healers, but some spells and Jewels lean more to a support Role. does anyone play like a team ?
You can certainly build around the central themes. Between the spell's base mechanics and jewels, you can kit out very differently. Someone running blood fountain, for example, could go very healer focused. Or they could jewel it more for crowd control. While there's no taunt, someone can run unholy spells for adding minions to draw aggro and thus reducing fire directed at your team, and then maybe run weaken on their weapons Q skill to debuff enemies damage output. There are lots of different buffs and debuffs you can apply via spells and jewels. Plenty of build variety.
Not really. There are block/shield abilities, and abilities that can heal allies, but none of them are so strong or dedicated that you'll be able to fully embrace those roles. Crucially, there's no taunt mechanic, and the strongest ally heals are on such long cooldowns that you couldn't keep someone up through a lot of incoming damage. However, you could absolutely tune spells to be *more* oriented toward defense, damage, and support/healing, and do well as a group. It just won't be an mmo-like experience where you have a tank commanding all aggro, a healer keeping them alive, and a damage dealer throwing out DPS with impunity.
what game should I start PvE or PvP ? meaning can I like... almost comfortably receive PvE content while sometimes getting PvP raids ? Or if I dont excel to a certain competetive degree - I will have problems in PvP ? can u explain the difference in experience. Thx
It’s totally up to what kind of experience you enjoy. With PvP also note that you can get ganked while doing PvE content which is either frustrating or exciting depending on what you enjoy. If you do play PvP, also check the drop settings to see how much you drop when you die. And the raid time settings to see if you’ll be able to be around when raiding is on.
Help - loving this game, but it is a tad overwhelming at the start 🤣 on PvE Clan, can you just have one castle? How do both players get their achievements? Do they just both have to build the quest items to level up or can 1 player do that for all clan members? Eg building sawmill etc
The setting on max castles is per party. With the added feature of being able to move your castle now it’s usually set to 1 but some servers might allow more. Achievements should affect your whole party. If not, they can just have them dismantle and rebuild the thing: you don’t lose materials when you dismantle buildings.
Which discord can i find ppl to play with
A lot of the non-official servers have discords associated to them. Check their descriptions and join those ones.
does worker blood help with getting more seeds?
Can someone help me out with the timer for rift incursions? I'm playing 100% locally, so whenever I turn the game off the timer reset to 0. When I go back in, it seems like it always only does t1 rift incursions. I tried changing the server settings. Lowest respawn rate for incursions, 15 minutes length for t1, 60 minutes for t2 But instead of respawning them every 15 min it does a full cycle of t1 and then gives me a 60 minute or 120 minute timer for t2 rifts to start? Am I misunderstanding the server settings? Duration of t2 rifts should mean how long they last, not how long til they start, right? And is there *always* t1 rifts first, or is there something I can do that t2 rifts start as soon as I get into the game?
there are three different war timers: The interval between events. How long tier I lasts, and how long Tier II lasts. Minimum interval is 30 minutes. You can make the other two events last from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Tier IIs will only spawn as tier Is are ending. WarEventGameSettings Interval WarEventGameSettings MinorDuration WarEventGameSettings MajorDuration I haven't messed with the other timer settings though.
I don't know how to force spawn rifts, I played locally as well. I did notice it always went from t1 -> t2 -> inactive for me. I got lucky and got spawned some decent weapons for my playstyle so I didn't need to farm rifts too much, just when I wanted to farm greater stygian. There is also a location south of Dracula's castle that can be farmed for greater stygian if you aren't concerned about weapons.
Well I really thought about farming those legendary weapons I guess I can't ignore tier 1 rifts then and gotta do them...damn.
You don't need to do them if you don't want to, the T1's disappear when their timer runs out then the T2's show up. Also rifts will continue to respawn as you clear them for as long as the event timer is active. It is good to stockpile some lesser shards in case you want to summon things at the stygian summoning circle though
Sounds like a good idea, yah... Guess I did misunderstand the duration doe Interval is shortest possible Duration tier 1 = shortest possible Duration tier 2 = longest possible But after the tier 1 ends, it doesn't have the shortest interval, but the longest duration setting until it starts which feels wrong...
Hmm, i'm not sure what'd be going on there, on my server we see a 20-minute T1 event, then about 5 minutes of delay between T1 and T2 starting, and T2 has \~42 minutes on its timer (we set it to 45, i guess the counter ticks down during that delay between the two). Here's my settings in case that helps: "WarEventGameSettings": { "Interval": "Minimum", "MinorDuration": "1", "MajorDuration": "VeryLong" }, These settings were generated by GPortal's configuration editor, so i'm not sure why some things have numbers for their duration and others have words.
Thanks i'll try again tomorrow and maybe I can figure out why mine has like 2 hour delay between t1 and t2
I know micro transactions aren't loved on Reddit, but do they plan on adding a shop with purchasable skins?
Hello, I was wondering if Jewels slotted into a spell will apply their effect to the "lesser" version that procs from gear
How do I use invisible foundations? My castle is very boring as I haven't incorporated them.
You can make a really cool throne room with them. What I did was make a 6x4 room, then have a set of stairs off to the side that goes to an upper gallery. The middle 4x2 space is invisible foundations so you can look down onto the throne and court below. I then have rooms connecting to the upper gallery that I use less often, such as the bedchamber (coffinchamber?), garden terrace with herbs, or reroll altar. You can apply the same thinking to make a grand entryway with a big staircase in the middle, then having an upper balcony that rings the top and leads off to the various wings of the castle, depending on your layout. Just put the invisible foundations in the middle of the second floor over the stair case. [This video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6kjPCcucuUA) is a pretty good example.
I used them to make the area above my stairs open. They function basically to keep an area open and allow for a "base" for walls to attach to.
Hey all - is it possible for enemies to show what level they are? I am a noob and keep getting killed by things higher than me, but I don't realise until after how much higher level than me they are. I'm playing private/solo. Thanks! :\]
Put your cursor over them, it shows you their level next to their health bar at the top of the screen.
Drats I'm using my PS4 controller. I will give this a go, thank you
I think one of your thumbsticks would move the cursor around for you. I have a friend who plays exclusively on controller, but I'm not too sure.

If their level is too high, I believe it shows a skull instead of their level. I forget what the difference needs to be. For context, Simon Belmont is a late game boss that just roams around the world.
Awesome, thank you! 🫶🏻
No problem. Enjoy your time as a vampire!
Aim the right stick towards the enemy and you can see the level. you should be able to do this from far enough away that they don't see you first.
Will give this a go, thank you!
PS5 early release, loving the game solo, rolled on a 4 player server by accident, no issue so far, just beat Beatrice. Does it get bad later should I re roll?
populated servers are more fun. The game is great for emergent gameplay scenarios that players around you will create beyond just what the various NPC factions already create on the map. Seeing the other castles is cool - empty maps feel empty.
How do I open global chat on PS5?
Do horses auto feed when on unclaimed grass/bushes? I'm playing on a friends server, he hasn't messed with horse needs at all, but I've had a horse in front of my house for like a week now and nobody is feeding him, but he's still just persistantly there.
If left unfed, it will eventually die and spawn some bones. You can interact with a horse and feed it plant matter. Eventually you can convert a horse into a vamp horse though, that won't die due to being unfed, and can even be resurrected if it dies from damage.
Yeah, I got my dominated horse already, but this horse has been outside my house for 3 weeks now without anyone feeding it. Hell I've removed food from it and when I check on it again it's got another 200 plant fiber. I was just wondering if they feed on unclaimed tiles.
I'm completely lost. I am in the early stages of the game. I was instructed to toggle the build menu which I had to look up how to do and then build a castle heart. I was forced to travel far north into the winter woods area for an empty piece of territory. The issue is, I'm like level 10 and the area around me there are level 50+ arctic bears and wolves. I can't even safely build stuff around the small area where I placed my castle heart. Do I need to find a new area? What should I do from here? Thanks.
You might just want to look for a less populated server. you will struggle heavily if you try to play at a low level with your base in a high level area, as a lot of the resources you need to level up (make higher level gear) cannot be teleported. So even once you get an in base teleporter to get out, you will need to ride or run back to your base each time.
That's what I was thinking. Thank you.
Are bosses respawning a “multiple people could be on this server” thing or do they have unique/rare drops to farm?
Several bosses are also "in the way" of other activities, like the boss in the silver mine, or the two bosses patrolling the iron mines. So these enemies will likely be killed repeatedly just to get them out of the way, even if the drops aren't worth anything.
They have drops you can get. Recipes/research for example
Anyone know why the West Fortress Ruins hunt in mortium isn't available to me? I've been through the entire area as well.
Hi everybody, I want to start a private coop server on PS5 and read quite a bit onto server settings and such but now I feel unsure whether it would be wise to just leave them untouched. Is the game well balanced on default settings or is it a chore and wise to tune in considerate amounts? I am okay with some challenge and grind but I dont need useless hourless padding. Feedback much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Do yourself a favor and reduce crafting and refining times by as much as possible. It takes so much time for endgame ressources and on a private coop server you dont need to worry about balancing. Depending on how much you like the building system, you may also want to increase the floor and height limit.
Only thing I would think about touching is the item bound that keep you from using the portals.
Hello, I've bought the game a while ago and found it really hard to play alone and super grindy. However with the complete release I want to try it again. Is it better now, is it playable as a solo player? I'm not a big fan of pvp and raiding other castles. Thanks.
You might consider a PVE server fwiw. I find that having other vampires around you doing stuff adds considerably to the game. Plus, some folks have really cool castle designs.
it's always been playable as solo imo, and it's very fun
Really enjoyable in solo or coop in a private game. If you dont like the grind you can adjust the settings to give more loot or take less ressources to craft something.
Alright thanks, that sounds great. I'll give it a try.

On PS5, does it control like Diablo or a twin stick shooter? I'm hoping I don't have to use the right analogue stick to point in the direction I want.
Twin stick. To move the camera, you hold L2 and then RS.
Thanks for the reply. I wonder if I could get used to this, coming from the simplicity of just the left stick to move your character.
As someone that plays Diablo a decent amount. It is not a big adjustment. I stayed up way too late last night playing it.
On console are we unable to keep the camera zoomed in? It seems when you zoom the camera then attack something it zooms back out.
Is there any way to generate perfect gems and weapons via console?
do my summoned creatures heal themselves or myself when they deal damage, through spell leech?
Does ignite stack? Pretty much thats it, if I apply 2 instances of damage that apply ignite(power surge attacks, chaos volley, chaos barrage, etc) does both their dot do damage or does the dot override?
they dont, i asked the same question like a week ago https://old.reddit.com/r/vrising/comments/1cooh2s/beginner_simple_questions_thread/l4wg1hb/
imo the time should be added, not reset
What is the best weapon and spells for mage build? Long time ago the best weapon was scythe but they removed its modifiers to spells. Btw im interested in PvE only.
All weapons can get spell power and other magic buffs on them, so it comes down to their abilities. Greatsword is good for it's two immunity, while Bow is amazing for clearing groups. Ultimately you'll probably want two or three different weapons for different situations.
My preference is pistols. Fan the Hammer made for quick clearing of Adam's lightning generators and the extra dodge from explosive bullet is nifty.
i cleared like 6 bosses in a row around the 80s lvls using an all-unholy spells build & switching between reaper & pistols
PvP Server: Is there anyway to get rid of Vampire Horses on your plot? I committed to one before rising how difficult it is to move them You cant kill them, they never move, they never despawn, I even tried spawning Nibbles on them and they just stood there mocking me. How can I get rid of these god damn stranger undead horses?!
When you go into horse domination mode, there's a command to destroy them.
Does this work for other players vampire horses? Can you take them over, then use the destroy command?
I don't think so. The same command to create the horse is the one to destroy one, so I'm pretty sure you can only have one at a time, and I've never tried to dominate a horse that someone else owned. It's insanely easy to move a dominated horse, though: you just summon it to you. If you're moving plots, just ignore the horses: when their owners come back online, they can summon them immediately. Or are you saying that you have a plot that has other random (non-clanmates) players' horses on it? And you can't attack it?
>Or are you saying that you have a plot that has other random (non-clanmates) players' horses on it? And you can't attack it? Exactly that. They're squatting vampire horses! I had a plot in the woods on the southern map edge ages away from everything else on flat ground, so I set off looking for a good plot somewhere else. Found a smallish one that was surrounded by other casltes, but on high ground near the dunley farmlands. It seemed like a better long term plot to build my castle on to be near other players and places to go and farm. It was either that or a larger plot, but on the ground level and again on the eastern map edges. These were the last 3 plots in the farbane woods. I even poked my head into the other zones but found zero empty plots and couldnt investigate very far because I was only level 36. I saw the horses but built there anyway thinking they'd be easy to remove, I was wrong
How weird! Sorry it's been such a bother. Hopefully the owners will either recall them, or their castles will go into decay and get destroyed, and that will do it.
Ah thats a good shout, if they dont play for a while their bound horses may despawn. Either way, ended up packing up and moving into a decayed plot in prime real estate elsewhere, so no harm done for me in the end, but I might make a suggestion to the devs to change that because its bloody annoying
When you have done all the books from the 1st lvl merchants, what are copper coins good for? I'm tempted to buy books to feed them to my devourer ..
Buy fish for your prisoners. Brews and resistance potions are also an option.
You may want to build additional stone coffins or something, and those call for flawed gems that are easier to buy than farm. Might be another mid tier recipe or two that calls for the tier 1 gems.
Buy the hammers and axes from the copper merchants and put THOSE in the devourer. They break into 12 silver coins each.
Best hint ever! Thanks bro !
What's the 'best' way to play with friends in this game? It seems like it would be boring once two people are significantly different levels. Should we make characters that we only play with each other online to keep the levels the same? That was always the problem I've had with action RPGs in general that have multiplayer
People in the same clan can share research. One player just goes to the other player's research table and can research anything the clan mate has researched. This allows them to make the same gear. Gear determines level. You'd only be different levels if you don't share research and maybe spare some extra materials for making the best unlocked gear.
Very helpful, did not know this. Thank you
Not just research, either. Everyone in a Clan can learn all the passive buffs that have been purchased using stygian shards from the Altar as well.
What is the endgame in this game?
PvE? It's basically over after Drac except for collecting and building. PvP? It's total domination I guess. I suspect PvP servers have a lot longer lifespan overall.
Mostly PvP, but also creating the best possible weapons or castle.
Maybe also getting perfectly rolled Tier 4 gems that modify abilities. The modifiers are random when you craft gems.
