Every V Rising blood type explained
In V Rising, you’ll spend most of your time either fighting baddies, exploring the world, or gathering resources with which you canbuild your castle. While you can partake in all of these activities from the start, using the right blood type will increase your effectiveness. For example, the Brute, Rogue, and Warrior blood types boost your combat capabilities, while Creature increases your speed and survivability in the world of Vardoran. Below, we’ll walk you through each of the 7 blood types in V Rising:
Frailed
Frailed is the default blood typethat you’ll have when you first spawn in as a new player on a server. You’ll also reset back to frailed when you die and respawn. Unlike the 6 other blood types listed below,frailed has no associated benefits, so you’ll want to find an enemy to leech blood from as soon as possible to change to another blood type. Even low quality blood of a different type is better than frailed as they’ll offer minor benefits, so make getting a new blood type one of your first priorities when you spawn.
Creature
TheCreature blood typeis the best forsurvivability and exploring the map. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Creature blood type:
You can get the Creature blood typefrom animals around Vardoran. This will be a common blood type for new players especially, as they’ll likely face off against plenty of bears and wolves while trying tocollect bones.
Brute
TheBrute blood typeincreases yourdamage and health recoveryin combat, making you a tanky killer who can jump into the middle of any fight. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Brute blood type:
The Brute blood type iscommonly found on humanoid enemies, such as bandits and soldiers. You’ll find these all over the world of Vardoran in the various towns and encampments on the map.
Rogue
TheRogue blood typemakes youfasterin combat, while alsoincreasing your critical hit chance. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Rogue blood type:
Warrior
TheWarrior blood typeis all aboutdamage. Big damage from your weapons, reducing damage from enemy weapons, and reducing cooldowns on your weapon skills so that you can deal huge damage more often. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Warrior blood type:
Again, the Warrior blood type iscommon amongst human enemies, so head to camps and fortified locations to find guards, militia, or bandits with this blood type.
Scholar
TheScholar blood typefocuses on yourmagical abilities, increasing their damage and reducing spell cooldowns. This will improve the effectiveness of many of your vampire abilities, making the Scholar blood type valuable for any player who prefers magic over swinging a sword. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Scholar blood type:
Those looking for the Scholar blood type shouldfocus on hunting down priests and other magic-wielding enemies in the Dunley Farmlands and Silverlight Hills. You won’t tend to find this blood type in the Farbane Woods, so you’ll need to venture North to get a constant supply.
Worker
While many of the other blood types focus on combat, theWorker blood typeplaces emphasis onresource gathering. Whether you like to build, or just really need someIronandSilverto make some of thebest weapons in V Rising, this is the blood type for you. Below, we’ll list the effects that you get with each stage of the Worker blood type:
You’ll mostly get the Worker blood type fromNPCs that aren’t hostile, so try heading into villages and towns around the Dunley Farmlands and Silverlight Hills.
How to get 100% blood quality in V Rising
As you can see in the list above, aside from Frailed,each blood type has 5 tiers. These tiers give extra effects thatunlock based on your blood quality. Blood quality is the percentage number that you’ll see next to the blood type when hovering over an enemy. It’ll become a lot clearer to spot when enemies reach low health and the feed ability becomes an option.
Regardless of which blood type you want to use, the different tiers are each unlocked at set blood quality percentages, as listed below:
To get 100% blood quality, you’ll need to feed on an enemy who has 100% blood quality. It might sound simple, but these enemies are incredibly rare. While they can be found in every region onV Rising’s map, including the Farbane Woods, you’ll find enemies with 100% blood quality more frequently in higher-level areas. There’s no trick to this, so you’ll have to keep hunting until you find an enemy with 100% blood quality.
However, the more difficult part comes after you get 100% blood quality. As we mentioned, these enemies are incredibly rare and your blood pool needs replenishing often. This means that you’ll probably find yourself with 100% blood quality, but need to feed on an enemy with a lower percentage to refill your blood pool. This may change your blood type, and will almost definitely make you lose the Tier V buff. The difficulty, then, lies in finding a consistent, renewable source of 100% blood quality for your preferred blood type.
V Rising prisons: How to extract blood from servants
If you want to stay at 100% blood quality permanently, you canimprison servants who have 100% blood quality. This essentially turns them into ablood farmthat you can regularly feed on to retain 100% blood quality while filling your blood pool. This requires a few steps though, as you’ll need to do the following before you can imprison a servant and turn them into a blood farm:
We’ll go over each of these steps in greater detail below.
Unlock the Servant Coffin and Dominating Presence
TheServant Coffinrecipe andDominating Presenceability are both locked behind quests in V Rising, so you’ll need to progress through the objectives listed in the top-left corner of the screen. Eventually, you’ll see a quest named"Lord of the Manor"that rewards you with the Servant Coffin recipe. The next quest, simply named"Servants", tasks you with building a Servant Coffin and rewards you with the Dominating Presence ability.
Use Dominating Presence to get a Servant with 100% blood quality
After unlocking Dominating Presence, you must then use this ability on an NPC to get a Servant and complete the"Army of Darkness"quest. While the first NPC you come across likely won’t have 100% blood quality, spend enough time hunting and you should eventually come across one. When you find someone with 100% blood quality, use Dominating Presence to enslave them under your command and take them back to base.
There are other factors that you might want to consider when choosing servants in V Rising, such as their stats and perks, but those don’t matter if you just want to use them as a 100% blood quality farm.
Unlock and build a prison cell
If you want more information on Vincent and other V blood carriers, check out ourV Rising boss locations guide, but killing Vincent is all you need to do to get the Prison Cell recipe.
Imprison your 100% blood quality servant
After enslaving a human with 100% blood quality and building a Prison Cell, you can simply interact with the cell andselect “Imprison” to lock the servant away. This will add new options to the Prison Cell interface, including a"Drain Blood" button. If you have empty glass bottles, which we’ll explain how to get in the next step, then you can simply drain blood from your servant. This blood will maintain the blood type and blood quality of the servant, essentially allowing you to make little blood vials that you can consume. These willrefill your blood pool without changing blood type or losing blood quality.
Unlock and craft empty glass bottles
It’s important to note thatdraining blood from a prisoner will deal damage and raise their misery level. Misery is a status effect that imprisoned NPCs get whenever you drain their blood, and it simply increases the damage they take next time you drain blood, making this action more harmful each time you do it. If you want to restore a prisoner’s health and maintain a low misery level, you’ll need tocatch and feed them fish. If you fail to feed your 100% blood quality Servant, they will eventually die after losing enough blood.
