🎨 Graphics? Gorgeous, detailed, and immersive
🎶 Soundtrack? Top-tier, perfect for the vampire vibes
🕹️ Gameplay? Deep and incredibly fun, whether you’re a builder, fighter, or explorer
⚔️ PvP or PvE: Which Should You Choose?
When starting V Rising, one of the first major decisions you'll face is whether to play on a PvP or PvE server. This choice will shape your experience significantly. Here's a breakdown of the two modes to help you decide:
🛡️ PvE: Chill and Steady
PvE servers focus on cooperative gameplay, allowing you to explore the world, build castles, and hunt NPC enemies without worrying about other players raiding/killing you(well they can when your castle heart is out-fed which is called decayed castle, other players can either disable to get the loot or destroy everything in one click)
Pros:
- 🕊️ Ideal for learning the game mechanics at your own pace
- 🛡️ No stress over offline raiders or surprise attacks
- 🌟 Great for casual or inconsistent players who prefer a relaxed environment
Cons:
- 💤 Servers can lose activity quickly once players finish building their castles
- ⚔️ Limited challenge compared to PvP interactions
If you're new to V Rising, we recommend starting with PvE to get comfortable with the mechanics before diving into the chaos of PvP
🗡️ PvP: The Real Action
PvP servers add a layer of intensity to the game, where you can engage in battles with other vampires, raid castles, and steal resources
Pros:
- 🔥 Unpredictable and thrilling gameplay that keeps you on edge
- 🎯 Encourages creative strategies for defense and raids
- 🏆 Offers a satisfying competitive experience for those who enjoy player-vs-player combat
Cons:
- 💔 Can be ruthless, especially for solo players or beginners
- ⏳ Requires a lot of time and effort to maintain your castle and resources
For those who thrive on adrenaline and competition, PvP is the way to go. However, teaming up with friends or joining a clan is highly recommended to survive and succeed
🧛♂️ Tips for Choosing
- 🛡️ New players: Start with PvE to learn the rules and mechanics before trying PvP
- 🗡️ Experienced players: Jump into PvP with friends or a clan for the full vampire experience

👛 How to turn Copper Coins to Silver Coins(you don't need to shift into human form for this one cause its copper market and they are cool with vampires until you attack them)?
1️⃣ Grab your copper coins
2️⃣ Go to Copper-Market(Shady merchant camp) at Farbane(one at east, another one at west), check em both
3️⃣ You need to buy as much Tools as you can(Lumberjack's Axes, Miner's Mace)
4️⃣ Go to your Devourer(the box with big-tongue out for salvaging items), and drop your Lumberjack's Axes, and Miner's Mace to get 12 Silver Coins for each Tool
🎨 Hold Shift key to paint all the walls of that closed/opened(same floor) room with your favorite wallpaper
🐻 Shift into Bear Form to recover a lot of your hp(gone) in short time and also for safely farming iron at Iron Cave(regular attacks)
💤 Log Off Safely:
- Always log off inside your coffin! Otherwise, you risk waking up dead and losing your inventory😴🔴
🐴 Get the Best Horse:
- Horses have 3 stats:
- Max Speed: How fast your horse runs (max 11)
- Acceleration: How quickly it reaches max speed (max 7)
- Rotation Speed: How fast it turns (max 14)
- Add a Saddle (8x Thick Leather, 4x Iron Ingot) to boost Max Speed and Acceleration by 1
- Hunt for horses at stables or the Horse Track in Dunley (southwest). Kill weak horses to force respawns until you find top-tier ones🏇🏼
👷🏼♀️👷🏼♂️ Servants:
- Equip them with broken gear (default: 8 servants) for max loot efficiency
- Plan missions based on your schedule:
💥 2-hour runs while you’re online
💥 1-day runs before sleeping for max rewards
💎 Optimize Farming:
- Hunt for high-quality servants (98%+ is ideal for me)
- Example: Need glasses? Farm Dunley "Quartz Quarry" workers(kill-wipe) until a high-blood spawns(you need 2), make them prisoners and try to get them to 100%, then convert them into servants, for more loot-from-hunts based on their Expertise stat(for example, i need a lot of glasses at end-game, so i get 2 max expertise servants and send them to quartz quarry to get as much quartz as possible, they will come back with so much more quarts/glasses based on their expertise number, that's why i say higher expertise= more loot from that specific region/area which leads to one/multiple item crazy number boost)
💪🏼 Defend Your Castle in PvP:
- Place Banshees near entrances for brutal defense
- Pick plots with one main entrance and fewer jumping paths (like Frog Form shortcuts)
- Watch for red-eyed rats—they’re humans in disguise (door campers)
- Spend loot to get better items—don’t let low-tier junk clutter your storage
🍄 Trippy Mushrooms
2 Witch Hunts at south-west of Cursed Forest, Nest of the Cursed Weaver(area)/Matka(boss) at north-east of Cursed Forest, Lair of the Behemoth(cave) at south-east of Cursed Forest, Bear Cave at east of Farbane, Bandit Copper Mine at center-a little to west of Farbane, and at the end, Gleaming Meadows(area)/Polara(boss) at north-west of Farbane or same as below entrance of Silverlight from Farbane
How to have most fun(challenge)?
1️⃣Beat all bosses on normal mode(Private servers are Da Goats)
2️⃣Then do a No-Hit run on last bosses(normal mode: Solarus, Adam, and Dracula are most important ones with most fun)
3️⃣Now do Brutal mode
4️⃣At the end, do Brutal mode with No-Hit run(most fun of all time, and challenging like hell as well😘)
