How to get Silver Ore in V Rising
Consult the map below to see the exact location of the Sacred Silver Mines.
You can also find the odd vein of Silver Ore scattered about the Silverlight Hills (hence the name), but they’re much rarer than earlier ore veins such asCopperorSulphur, so the Sacred Silver Mines are your best bet.
If you want an easier time getting through the Sacred Silver Mines, you should utilise your transformative abilities to turn yourself into a Human or a Rat, so you can fool and sneak past the various human Footmen and other guards instead of having to fight them all.
You’ll need Merciless Iron tools to mine Silver Ore.Maces are best because of their increased damage against minerals. To get MercilessIrontools, you’ll need to obtain research books from higher-tier enemies in the Dunley Farmlands, and trade them in at your Study to unlock the Merciless Iron recipes.
It’s also a very good idea to fill yourself up with theWorker blood typeahead of arriving at the Mines, because with the Worker traits you’ll be able to get more Silver Ore out of each vein.
Use Bear form and Potions to avoid Silver damage
Silver is poisonous to vampires: the more Silver you carry in your inventory, the more damage will be dealt to you over time. This is a problem when it comes to gathering Silver Ore in large quantities, so make sure you come prepared to combat the effects of Silver poisoning.
While you’re still mining, your best bet is to stock up on Silver Resistance potions and healing potions to limit the effect of Silver on your body. It’s important to keep the Silver damage under control - it may not seem very dangerous on its own, but when combined with having to fight your way through a series of dangerous enemies, you’ll be glad you brought your potions with you to the Sacred Silver Mines.
What do you use Silver for in V Rising?
Once you’ve returned to your Castle laden with stacks of Silver Ore, you can turn them into Dark Silver Ingots, which will no longer poison you when held. You’ll need to put20 Silver Ore and 1 Scourgestoneinto your Furnace to make 1 Dark Silver Ingot.
Dark Silver Ingots can be used to forge the next tier of weapons, tools, and armour. These weapons are a step above their Merciless Iron counterparts, so they’re well worth crafting as soon as you’re able so you can go toe to toe with the more dangerous late-game bosses and enemies.
