There are different types of official servers, in addition to the possibility of creating our own servers and games with rules adapted to the way we like the most.



The official server modes are:
- PvE: Purely PvE servers, no PvP or castle siege between players. Recommended for 1-4 players.
- PvP: Servers with PvP between players. When you die you will lose what we have in the inventory but not the equipment or the tools. Recommended for 3-4 players.
- PvP+: PvP full loot servers. When you die you will lose everything that our character has. Recommended for 4 players.
- PvP Duo: Similar to PvP servers but only allow 2 people per clan (group). Recommended for 1-2 players

You can press O to check all Bosses in the game. To be able to see what skills, recipes or things that this bosses can unlock you have to be close to the level of the boss.



To be able to find this Bosses you have to build a Blood Altar in your castle. This will allow you to track them and be able to find them in the world. A line of blood will show up every 5 seconds around your character showing you in which direction you have to go.

There are 6 different types of blood you can get ingame, each on with their own buffs.

To change your blood you have to drink blood from an enemie, to do this you first have to lower their HP until you can press F.

You will get a Type and a % of quality. Higher quality grants you more buffs in that blood type.

You can click on each image to make it bigger.

First you have to choose a good location for your castle. Is highly recommended to build it on a mountain and not in a plain field.

1. Place the Castle Hearth. Keep in mind that this is the core of your castle so build it somewhere where you can protect it easier.
2. Fill it with Blood Essence. You can get this from most of humanoid enemies.
3. Place borders. They have to be connected to the Castle Hearth and you have a limit of them. To increate the border limit you need to upgrade the Castle Hearth.
4. Place walls, furnitures and all the stuff you need.

Before be able to get servants you will need to be in Dominating Presence this will allows you to use Kiss of the Vampire a skill who seduce humans to make them follow you.

You will unlock this skill following the quest line, just right after you build the first Servant Coffin and interact with it.


1. Find a human, you can look for them in human towns, farms roads, military camps or other places.
2. Check is blood type %, the higher the better.
3. Cast Kiss of the Vampire. This will be draining HP from the target and when the HP is below 30% the human will be seduced and will follow you. (You can lower the HP first attacking the target and then use the Kiss).
4. Bring the seduced human to your castle.
5. Put the human in a Servant Coffin

6. Wait until the human is transformed into a servant.
7. Raise your servant.


When you are looking for a servant is important to keep in mind the blood type, blood quality and the region of the map you are getting it.



Blood type: Reduce difficulty in 100 points in a specific zone type.
Blood quality: Determine how many expertise the servant will gate. Expertise determine the power of the equipment.
Faction: Will grant a 20% buff on a specific region of the map.

Blood type -> Servant type:


To make your servants work you will need to build a Castle Throne to be able to give them orders.



Sitting on the Throne will show up a map where you can see zones where you can send your servant to gather resources for you.



Keep in mind you have to equip your servants to make them have a good gear score before send them to expeditions. Your servants can fail the expedition and die, but you can resurrect them with blood in their respective Servant Coffin.

There are different ingots ingame:





Keep in mind you will need 12 gear level weapon to be able to mine it.

We can have 7 different skills in our hotbar:
Weapon skills: Left mouse, Q and E.
Travel skill: Spacebar.
Basic skills: R and C
Ultimate: T


At the very beggining you only will have the first weapon skill, two basic skills and a travel skill. You have to defeat V Blood bosses to unlock the rest of them.

Weapon skills:
They change every time you change your active weapon. To get the 2nd and 3th skill you need to use higher tier weapons.

Travel skill, Basic skills and Ultimate:
You can change them from your skill book pressing J.
To unlock skills you have to kill V Blood bosses and drink their blood.

Weapon skills:
Each weapon has it own skills and they change everytime you switch your active weapon.

Sword:

Axe:

Mace:

Crossbow:

Spear:

There are 5 different group of skills in V Rising: Blood, Unholy, Illusion, Chaos, and Frost.

You can combine skills from different groups to make your own build. To unlock this skills you have to beat different V Blood bosses that you will find in the world.


Each of this groups have Basic, Travel and Ultimate skills.
- Basic skills are active skills, like ranged spells, AoE, shields and more.
- Travel skills are used for movement and dodge attacks as well as reposition yourself.
- Ultimate skills are more powerful that the others but have higher cooldown.

You can use your Vampire Powers holding CTRL key and selection which you wanna use with the mouse. If you want to turn off a vampire power hold CTRL and hold the mouse in the middle of the selection wheel, then release CTRL.

Human Form: Turn into a human. Allow you to sneak around unnoticed in human settlements. Some human enemies can still detect you. Allow you to interact with human traders (you need silver coins). You consume more blood while in human form.

Rat Form: Turn into a rat. Makes you harder to be noticed for your enemies. No HP, name or info over your character which is helpful for hidde against other players.

Expose Vein: Allow other vampires to drink half of your blood. This will give them the same type of blood you have.

Blood Mend: Consume 0,2 liter blood per second to recover 4% of max HP.

Blood Hunger: Allow you to check blood quality and type of nearby enemies.

Souls shards are one of the main objetives to obtain in the game. There are only 3 soul shards in PvP servers, 1 of each type and fight for them (in PvE servers it can be more than 3 shards and more than 1 of each type) is a must because of the buffs you will get from them.

To get a Shard you have to be the first one to kill each one of the last three bosses in the game.
Each shard will grant you a 2 hours buff with different resistances and powers.







When you kill the boss you will get the shard as a normal item and you will have to carry it to your castle, but keep in mind that when you have a shard in your inventory you will be moving slowly and you will get more damage from your enemies.

To place a shard in your castle just move the shard to your inventory bar and use it.
