Little tip , Break everything like crate, barrel and so on. Cause u're gonna get a lot of material such as glass , oil and so on . its a great way to get material already done without wasting resources and time.
MY TIPS You can name your chests. When a storage unit is open click on its name at the top and you can give it your own name, this makes marking things like "grass", "wood", "stone dust" etc much easier to find when you are crafting, and you wont have access to the specialty storage units until later in the game. Even then its easier to make multiple speciality storage units and again name them based on whats actually inside. Faster for crafting. In Solo mode you dont need to make castle walls everywhere. You can make castle entrances for easier running around and just put wooden doors on the inside walls for sturdier doors on the outside walls. This is help when you are making specialty rooms for crafting. You can move between them easier when every wall is actually a door. Like True_Cyan said you wanna make multiple crafting stations as early as possible and I recommend grinding out wood planks and sawdust, alongside stone bricks and stone dust as early as possible in large quantities. Much later in the game you will need lots of them. Same with turning copper ore into copper ingots. Go on trips to harvest LOTS of copper and start pumping out by the truckload. And make plenty of storage boxes to hold it all. When making your base leave room for expansion because you will need many types of crafting rooms and some of them will need multiple crafting units, like grinders and furnaces. But again, you can move everything for free and its quick.
I bought the Castlevania pack cause I love that franchise and saw the Alucard armor, but noticed it’s only level 1 when I equipped it so I’ve kept it in a box, but now that I know there’s a vanity slow I can actually equip it, so thanks!
One of the things that really made the game easier is keeping all the printing press mats. Keep the grass, the sawdust, get a big garden going early and farm for pollen. If you keep all that stuff and get your library up and running then you can unlock all the engrams suuuper fast. Especially if you can grab a library floor from the vendors. Other than that I hardly even use books. Just pack the press, run around and do stuff, come back and unlock 5+ things. Last playthrough, I had enough mats for half the athenaeum's engrams before even unlocking it and I'd already finished the desk and 90% of the study unlocks.
What i feel that people dont tell you at all, so as a complete beginner, here are some important points: 1. If you play on brutal difficulty, not only will the enemies be more difficult, you will also need much more (10x) materials to produce stuff, planks costs 35 wood instead of 3, for instance. For longterm players choose the difficulty higher, for shortterm lower 2. You need to craft 3 weapons, sword, maze, axes to progress faster, you need to upgrade your gear to upgrade your "level", as the typical monster slashing level progression is limited only to the Vblood bosses. For wolf form you need to kill the (first) wolf boss with copper weapons. 3. You need to clear an highlighted (white lines) area with these weapons first to build a castle heart (requires blood), build that asap, as you need the castle to upgrade these weapons (for that you need to process your wood, stone, copper) 4. You need a brisk and burn your bones to create smoke against the sun, then walls, then two doors, 5. your castle requires blood to sustain, so you need to have an upkeep! 6. harvesting copper requires a higher weapon level, than the beginner weapons, so farm for planks asap 7. Keep your doors closed when offline. 8. As soon as you got your stone walls castle complete you dont need to burn bones anymore to create the mist
And, in my opinion, its worth buying the Miner’s mace and Lumberjack’s axe for a couple copper coins (or dropping them if youre lucky!) and give them to the Devourer for (if i remember well) 12 silver coins for each tool.
yes indeed i kept so much tier 1 resources i thought i would not need but when i reached t4 i still needed paper for scrolls,stone dust,glass,bones just keep them you wont regret it
Crucial tip, its often better to upgrade your armor in the early game than it is to repair it. I have never played PVP, but servants are not worth your time in the early game in PVE. Once you're at dawnthorne, i.e tier 7, then start gearing servants. At the end of the day, you can gather those resources 10x faster than your servants (bar coarse and wool thread, those are a pain in the ass) Keybind your spells to places you access them as easily as possible, and do not by any means underestimate the power of any ability that is a shield (Chaos, unholy, frost), they will be your best ability in boss fights. In the mid - late game, don't make anything above a 95% your servant unless you already have a prisoner of that type at 100%, expertise is a joke and you shouldnt give it much value. Blood Rage, Power Surge, and the lightning dash all increase your attack speed, which makes you gather resources quicker.
I think copper coins should be kept cause you can buy hammers and axes from the merchants and break those down into silver later, and if thats not enough well just buy seeds than, you will need it for the garden of roses to make healing potions and more
Once you have the walls of a room connected with floors down it will auto build the roof, if you’re putting stone walls down and the roof isint showing up make sure you have walls or at least a doorway conpleating the loop.
I was farming the wolf for unsullied hearts and the last 4 times I've killed him he hasn't dropped one.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm unlucky or something else is going on.
Good video, and your voice over is really clean! However, I found the subtitles animation with the flamboyant text and how much screen space they take up to be extremely obnoxious, I almost had to click off the video it was bugging me so much. In my opinion, the video doesn't need it, I'm really not sure what they are adding.
hmmm. They are supposed to help keep the eyes interested, however you're probably right I am doing too much. thank you for the feed back I will remember this for the next one. if its not to much would you mind answering a question for me? do you hate them entirely or is it just how often they appear and/or the colors too bright? again thanks for the feed back it really helps!
@@true_cyan9188 No problem, I really respect you for asking! I'm a freelance editor and so these types of things might just bug me more than the average person, because I'm very focused on the video. Typically you'd only want to do subtitles on shorts, and that style and animation could be okay for that. In a long form video though, it gets overbearing very fast. I would use them sparingly to emphasize your main talking points when you get to them in your script. The thing you REALLY want the viewer to remember from that segment. As it is, you kinda just have them constantly going no matter what you're saying. I would say, that's probably the main issue. They start to lose all meaning and just become distracting visual noise. Once again though, just my opinion and I'm 100% biased as an editor myself. Your script, audio, b roll, and everything else was SUPER clean man! That's why I commented cause, it was a shame the subtitles were bugging me so much when the rest of the video was very nice. Cheers man and hope your channel grows. I love V Rising and it desperately deserves more amazing content. Take care!
@@heymax23 thanks for the feedback! I agree I think I lost sight of there purpose so this helps a lot! I love v rising so I should make at least a couple more vids! Again thank you so much!
Bone dust saw dust and grass is pretty much useless tho... I don't keep them and mostly throw them away and I got like 3k of each mat somehow still littering my storage...
Grass is so important, because you can craft paper and early game heal with it. It helps a lot, especially at the PvP server, because you will need to do gardening for potions.
@@imbapirate played solo..i dont think i ever bothered with healing potions since they heal such a pitty amount of health... in pvp it might be a lot more useful. but personally, i just saw grass and stone dust (specially stone dust) as a waste of space.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 Nah, in PvP, especially at 1v2, healing is so important. So, from the start of the wipe on PvP server, always don't waste grass and dust, because it is so useful to craft rats, heal, wet stones and garden. And always save every seed that you find. From gear 50-65 I recommend to start buying stuff like seeds and fish. It will be so helpful in late game
Little tip , Break everything like crate, barrel and so on. Cause u're gonna get a lot of material such as glass , oil and so on . its a great way to get material already done without wasting resources and time.
great tip! i always do it so i didnt even think about saying it!
Got a couple books because of that haha

thats crazy, i usually use the printing press but never that much i guess i really need to lol
I get it but Im such a horder I never use it.
WOW! I didn't know about the cosmetic options, that's fantastic. Thanks
Happy to help!
I’m getting this. I just am overwhelmed with all the crafting- never played a game like this…
its easy to get a hang of, the game goes a good job of guiding you into it in the beginning
What i feel that people dont tell you at all, so as a complete beginner, here are some important points:

6. harvesting copper requires a higher weapon level, than the beginner weapons, so farm for planks asap
7. Keep your doors closed when offline.
8. As soon as you got your stone walls castle complete you dont need to burn bones anymore to create the mist
i be forgetting to turn off my mist brazier
I have like 600 hours into this game and only now learning about the colour options, lol. Gonna have to test that out when I log in later :P
Love love love the color options
And, in my opinion, its worth buying the Miner’s mace and Lumberjack’s axe for a couple copper coins (or dropping them if youre lucky!) and give them to the Devourer for (if i remember well) 12 silver coins for each tool.
OOHH good idea I honestly always forget about those two!
Turn Copper into Silver with this One Simple Trick! But you'll still need Human Form to deal with merchants in the Farmlands.
yes indeed i kept so much tier 1 resources i thought i would not need but when i reached t4 i still needed paper for scrolls,stone dust,glass,bones just keep them you wont regret it
Perfect video! This was exactly what I was looking for.
Love hearing that! Glad you liked it!
Great video!
Thank you!

also good! i usually try to do this everythime!
In my experience the spells that buff attack speed make you gather fewer resources per hit. Am i missing something?
I think copper coins should be kept cause you can buy hammers and axes from the merchants and break those down into silver later, and if thats not enough well just buy seeds than, you will need it for the garden of roses to make healing potions and more
always need money
lol the thumbnail is so true. Keep the plant fiber.
Fr seems so silly but it’s saved me so much time!
I'm glad I started keeping alot of the plant fiber. Lol
It fr helps alot especially with decorations
greater blood es. can be crafted via blood press through vermin nest - rats-blood essences.
I think this still requires you killing Tristan for the recipe unlock, but also true I believe
Thanks!
Happy to help!
Id love to know how to build a roof. Cant seem to see it when first starting castle
You will automatically get a roof once you can build with stone AND have fully tiled floors AND fully built stone walls.
Once you have the walls of a room connected with floors down it will auto build the roof, if you’re putting stone walls down and the roof isint showing up make sure you have walls or at least a doorway conpleating the loop.
cranked 4 grinders, 2 sawmills and one woodworking station in one 6x2 room 😂
It’s just good business
I was farming the wolf for unsullied hearts and the last 4 times I've killed him he hasn't dropped one.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm unlucky or something else is going on.
it might be trying to prevent you from farming one boss, try to farm some of the other early bosses as well and see if that fixes it.
