Building a castle in V Rising gives players a permanent residence to return to after gathering resources and fighting in the open world. This guide will help explain how to gather the right materials to lay your castle's foundations and upgrade the Castle Heart. Building a castle in V Rising is something players must do to set up a more permanent base of operations. Here are some key tips on how to gather the right resources and upgrade the heart of your castle.
How Do You Build a Castle in V Rising?
The first thing players will want to do when building a castle is find the best spot for their base and then place the Castle Heart there. As the name suggests, this is the center of your base, and you cannot start building without one. You can do this by pressing the "B" key, selecting the 'Basics' tab and then placing the Castle Heart on the ground.
Next, players will need to do a few things to lay the foundations properly:
- Lay the surrounding foundation by pressing "B" and selecting 8 foundation tiles around the Castle Heart.
- Press the "F" key on the Castle Heart and put Blood Essence into it.
Feeding Blood Essence to the Castle Heart will let players build walls and structures to start constructing the castle. While you can temporarily build walls from wood, you will eventually need to use stone to reinforce your castle.
How Do You Expand Your Castle and Upgrade the Castle Heart?
To unlock real castle upgrades, players will need to bring the Castle Heart to level 2. This requires 12 Copper Ingots and 12 Leather, which players can gather from copper nodes and animal hides and then process at their own crafting stations.
This is provided that players have made Wood Planks and Stone Bricks using the Millstone and the Grinder, and then craft and place your castle's reinforced walls and floors again through the "B" menu. From there, it is just a matter of gathering the right resources to build the reinforced materials that will form your castle's foundation.
