There's a multitude of things to do in V Rising other than surviving. Because, as it turns out, vampires are more high-maintenance than humans when it comes to the higher segments of the hierarchy of needs. They get bored easier, but luckily the game gives players enough recreational and creative stuff to do in-game.
Now, since V Rising is still in its early access stage, it's rough around the edges and doesn't do an expert job of revealing these hidden activities or techniques. So, in case players are struggling a bit in the game or are looking for more shenanigans to commit in V Rising's dark and ominous game world, then they might want to try these out.
7 Reducing The Grind
As with most hybrid survival games, V Rising is also rife with grinding. Players are tasked with tons of manual labor; their character's vampire status doesn't insulate them from the dirty jobs. Luckily, players can lighten the workload before they even begin their game sessions.
In the server options, there exist a handful of metrics that allow players to increase the number of resources they accumulate or produce. Of course, those who have a distaste for too much grinding will find it best to be generous with the multipliers. Most of the time, this setting is only available for singleplayer. But there might be multiplayer servers that allow for this faster pace.
6 Get Slaves
The current end-game or late-game in V Rising mostly becomes a faux-case of Pokemon where you end up collecting people to dominate. Because once players get to a high-enough level, they can enthrall humans and turn them into servants. Thus, this allows players to have an army of slaves.
The catch is that their quality depends on the quality of the blood of the person they're enthralling. Thus, this makes the endeavor too reliant on chance. There are also many different types of humans from Paladins, Clerics, multiple kinds of clergymen, and wizards. This spices up the players' hunt for the perfect servant.
5 Keep Living 'Blood Bags'
On top of enthralling human NPCs, players will also need to secure their supply of fresh and high-quality blood. This is especially important if they want to maintain a certain late-game build. This is where high-quality blood from rare individuals comes to mind. If players manage to find someone with above 80 or 90 percent quality blood, then they ought to keep that person. Literally.
Players can kidnap and then imprison these certain individuals in their castles or fortresses. They will need to somehow keep these prisoners alive since they're more valuable alive than dead and drained. However, they're certainly a huge quality-of-life upgrade for players since they won't have to disrupt their character build as much.
4 Fishing
Fishing is also another activity that likely wouldn't have crossed a lot of players' minds. What need would they have for this primitive human sustenance, anyway? Well, not much. But humans still need them. And if players make it a habit to enslave a lot of human minions and keep blood bags, then they'll need to find a way to keep these humans healthy.
Keeping a lot of fish is also one of the most sound investments and will pay off exponentially once players reach late-game. They're not just for feeding prisoners; players can also use the fish for crafting. The notorious pristine leather, for example, requires copious amounts of fish oil. Meanwhile, specific types of fish (sage and rainbow) can be used to achieve vials of quality blood.
3 Vacuum Up Loot
Looting can quickly become tedious or tiring in V Rising since players murder their enemies and victims en masse; they usually think they need to pick all the loot one by one, but they never had to. Because holding the loot button (depends on the gaming platform) activates the loot vacuum function.
This will siphon up all the loot, minimizing the time players spend picking them up, thus maximizing moonlight. Moreover, this kind of function is especially handy when it comes to hit-and-run tactics; players can simply kill important enemies and then suck up their loot while running away. It pays to be mindful of this maneuver in-game.
2 Raid Some Areas Without Worry
Once players start bumping into urbanity more frequently, they will run into armed guards more often than not. This not only forces them to waste their time fighting, but it can also lead to some unexpected deaths. That's why players will immediately want to know whether they're safe in a particular area or not. The good news is, if an area reeks of garlic, then chances are, it's not well-guarded.
Turns out humans think garlic is an ample alternative to actual defense against vampires. Do take advantage of their desperation. In any case, areas with garlic in them tend to have only a couple of military men or none at all. So players can wreak havoc in this area or run around carelessly if they want to collect resources faster.
1 Regenerating Without Spending Blood
Blood is what makes the world go round in V Rising and it's that one resource that players should never venture without. The problem is, that players can sometimes get too careless with combat and will have to heal some battle scars using their precious blood supply. They needn't do that once they get the bear form.
It's one of the beast forms that players acquire in the main objective. The bear form lets players regenerate missing hit points or health. This eliminates the need to spend blood or even vials or healing potions outside of combat. Actually, most of the beast forms in V Rising have some useful function outside of combat that makes them ideal than just staying in vampire form all the time. So drop the fashion form for some function.
V Rising is available in Early Access on PC.
