The Gold Ingot is a Reagent in V Rising used for crafting items and gear, specifically in the late-game stages of one's journey. Gold Ingots can be smelted at a Furnace, but their Recipe must first be unlocked by defeating Azariel the Sunbringer, a Level 68 V Blood Carrier located in the Brighthaven Cathedral of Silverlight Hills. This Boss is notably powerful and is capable of inflicting potent holy damage in V Rising onto his enemies. Therefore, Vampires will need to unlock and craft the Holy Resistance Flask before facing this Carrier. This alchemic Recipe is obtained from Willfred the Werewolf Chief, a Level 64 Boss in the Gloomgrave Village near Cursed Forest.
After defeating Azariel the Sunbringer and unlocking the Recipe for Gold Ingots, Vampires of V Rising can begin their production of Gold Ingots at their Castle's Furnace. One ingot requires a base resource cost of Sulphur ×8 and Golden Jewelry ×8. Like any Structural production cost, this amount can be reduced by placing the Furnace atop the proper Flooring.
The first ingredient for crafting Gold Ingots in V Rising is Sulphur, a powdery Reagent made from Sulphur Ore found throughout Farbane Woods and Silverlight Hills. Sulphur can only be crafted once Vampires have slain Clive the Firestarter, a Level 30 V Blood Carrier located in the Bandit Sulphur Quarry. This location is also an excellent spot for farming Sulphur Ore for producing Gold Ingots. Other concentrated sites include the Stone Ruins south of the Brighthaven Suburbs, the plot of land above the northern Silverlight Hills Waygate, and the forested area south of the Forgotten Cemetery.
Farming Gold Ingots In V Rising
Sulphur should not be too hard to find since it is a common resource that can be harvested in abundance within the starting region. On the other hand, Golden Jewelry is more challenging to come by in V Rising, as it is primarily acquired from the dangerous areas of Silverlight Hills. Golden Jewelry can potentially drop from any human mobs within the region. However, the best places where players can farm this Gold Ingot ingredient are the districts of Brighthaven.
The Brighthaven Cathedral is the only landmark in V Rising, stating that its Important Loot contains Golden Jewelry. Accordingly, it is one of the best sources of this resource. However, players can also find a great deal of Golden Jewelry within Brighthaven Square, specifically in lootable containers, such as shelves and chests. Finally, although the Brighthaven Docks and Brighthaven Slums do not contain Golden Jewelry, the elite mobs will frequently drop the item. Specifically, Vampires should farm Paladins, Clerics, and Priests for Golden Jewelry.
V Rising is available on PC.
