V Rising 1.0: Ten Massive Changes You Should Know About

V Rising just got a massive update that added much more content, including new weapons, armor, and locations! We’ll look at all the massive changes you should know about, especially if you’re a returning player.

V Rising 1.0: Graphics Updates

One of the first things you’ll notice once you launch V Rising is the updated graphics. The UI has also received changes and improvements that make V Rising feel a lot smoother. Stunlock Studios has introduced a new light engine that sets the mood across different locations all over the world map.

V Rising 1.0: Telegraphed Player Attacks

One of the biggest changes in V Rising 1.0 is the new telegraphed player attacks. This change makes it easier for players to see what is happening. You can now see lines that showcase where exactly you’ll be attacking.

V Rising 1.0: Quality of Life Improvements

First of all, the tutorial in V Rising has been streamlined. It now offers tips and tricks as you play. Stunlock Studios has also added map routes, which work similarly to a GPS. The route can be changed at any point and is followed very easily to points of interest.

You can now see your territories on the map, as well as how long you have before they decay. Last but not least, you can now dye your gear from anywhere in the world, not just your castle.

V Rising 1.0: Free Respec

When you unlock the Altar of Recollection in V Rising, you can respec your skills for free. To build the Altar of Recollection, you'll need 180 Stone and 10 Blood Essence. Once you interact with it, it allows you to reset an entire spell school.

You can then use the Boss Points you’ve gathered to choose new Tier 1 to Tier 3 abilities, as well as new Ultimates. The function is completely free and you can use it as often as you want.

V Rising 1.0: World Events

Caravans are a World Event that was added with the launch of V Rising. These will often be contested in PVP servers, as they drop Tier 1.5 and Tier 2.5 weapons, as well as materials and recipes for the early game. You can also get gems for your spell schools which can give you an early game advantage.

Rifts are the second World Event added in V Rising 1.0. Rifts are divided into 2 tiers. Tier 2 Rifts are some of the hardest content in the endgame. They provide Tier 3 materials and recipes, as well as charge for Soul Shard Necklaces.

V Rising 1.0: Storage Update

You now have many, easy-to-use storage facilities within your base in V Rising. When you interact with the container, it highlights all the items that can go in it. You also have the Quick Transfer option, which moves all the highlighted items directly to the storage, stacking them.

V Rising 1.0: New Potion System and Attributes

Each potion you consume now lasts an hour in V Rising. This makes it a lot easier to manage your buffs. You don’t have to waste as many resources on potions anymore. Players can also look at the new Attributes screen to check their resistances and other stats. This change makes it easier to see what kind of buffs you need.

V Rising 1.0: New Weapons

V Rising 1.0 offers two new Weapon Types and they look amazing. Bows have a unique stack mechanic. Depending on how many stacks you have, the bow unleashes a different type of attack. Whips have a spinning attack with great AOE, as well as a root for PVP. If you want to learn more about the different Weapon Types and how good they are, check out our Ultimate Weapon Type Tier List.

V Rising 1.0: Brutal

Brutal is the new difficulty in V Rising 1.0. It brings hard challenges for those ready to face them. Brutal adds new mechanics to the world of V Rising and its Bosses. Playing on Brutal increases your loot multiplier by 150%, as well as the durability loss multiplier by 50%. Overall, the monsters in the world are also buffed.

V Rising 1.0: Soul Shard Amulets

Last but not least, Soul Shard Amulets were added to the game. These new items give you a new Ultimate, such as Fallen Angel, Eye of The Storm, and more. Soul Shards have limited durability and must be recharged at Tier 2 Rifts. These Amulets drop if your character dies and make you visible on the map while carrying one.
