Crafting guide in V Rising – craft, repair and upgrade weapons and equipment

How to make weapons and equipment

If you’ve already started your vampire adventure, you’ve probably noticed that all major infrastructure buildings only become available after defeating certain bosses. However, you will receive the basic minimum during the training phase.

Note the Castle Heart. It must be regularly fed with the essence of blood, otherwise the base will stop functioning and the buildings will begin to collapse.

For each item you need a suitable building and a recipe. You can get instructions in several ways:

• defeating bosses;
• Defeating common enemies;
• Using tables for research (Researcher’s Table, Scientist’s Table, and so on).

All the options mentioned are not a 100% guarantee, so you won’t be able to quickly edit high-level recipes. In addition, for research it is necessary to find paper, scrolls or diagrams.

Buildings needed to craft weapons and equipment:

• Simple workbench – unlocked during training and needed to craft basic stuff;
• Woodworking Bench – unlocked after defeating Rufus the Foreman and allows you to craft crossbows and other items from wood;
• Alchemy Bank – unlocked after defeating Clive the Firestarter and allows you to craft potions, ointments and explosives;
• Sewing Machine (Tailoring Bench) – Unlocked after defeating Quincey, the Bandit King (Quincey the Bandit King) and used to craft cloth clothing and armor;
• forge – Unlocked after defeating Quincey, the Bandit King (Quincey the Bandit King) and used to craft iron weapons;
• anvil (anvil) – Unlocked by defeating Octavian the Militia Captain and used to craft high-quality weapons and armor.

How to repair weapons and armor

Once the equipment life decreases too much, special symbols will appear above your blood supply. As the situation worsens, the icon changes color from yellow to red. Open the inventory and move the cursor over the desired item, then press the middle mouse button to spend certain resources and restore durability.

Keep in mind that simple equipment is often a necessary element in the recipe for a more sophisticated one, so repairing items already made is necessary, if only to be frugal. However, sometimes it is cheaper to make new ones, so approach the repair wisely.

We also do not recommend discarding or disassembling unnecessary armor and weapons in the Devourer. It will surely come in handy for your servants. If you still don’t know how to recruit a servant, check out this guide.

How to upgrade weapons and armor

You can also improve weapons and armor thanks to certain recipes that are opened with papers, scrolls and schemes on special tables. To make paper you need a Paper Press, which opens on the third floor of the castle. Until you have pumped out your citadel, you must collect paper from defeated enemies.

You should also have other special buildings:

• Research agency – allows you to open recipes for 1st level equipment, unlocked in training, paper is required to use;
• Examination table (Study) – allows you to open recipes for second-level items, opens after beating the Fallen Nicholas (Nicholas the Fallen), scrolls are required to use;
• Reading room (Athenaeum) – allows you to open recipes for third level items, opens after defeating the shepherd Raziel (Raziel the shepherd), schemes are required to use.
