Where to get Dark Silver Ingots in V Rising
Another day, another difficult to acquire resource in V Rising.
V Rising is the vampire survival game taking Steam by storm. The title only recently launched on Steam after leaving a long Early Access period, and has managed to succesfully rake in new and returning vampires.
That said, even in V Rising 1.0, there's a lot to be learnt. Some things are the same, some things have changed, and only one thing is certain; we're all figuring it out. We’ve put together the following guide to help you get your hands on plenty of Dark Silver Ingots, and we’ve also explained what you should be using these materials for in V Rising!
How to get Dark Silver Ingots in V Rising
First things first, it’s worth noting that Dark Silver Ingots are not a resource that can be found out in the open, like iron or copper. Instead, you will need to unlock the recipe and craft them.
The recipe for Dark Silver Ingots is unlocked by defeating V Blood boss, Octavian the Militia Captain, who is Level 58. The boss can be found in the Bastion of Dunley area, north of Dunley Farmlands, and he’s no easy feat.
Octavian will employ both melee and ranged attacks, as well as Militia Longbowmen summons. You’re going to have a lot to deal with, so we recommend trying to take Octavian down as a clan, if you can.
And just like fights in other RPGs, make sure to clear out Octavian’s summons before trying to launch an attack on him; you’ll save yourself some trouble by doing so!
How to craft Dark Silver Ingots in V Rising
Once you’ve unlocked the recipe by defeating Octavian, your next step is to gather resources and put the recipe into action.
For a single Dark Silver Ingot, you will need 20 Silver Ores and 1 Scourgestone.
Silver can be acquired from the Sacred Silver Mines in Silverlight Hills, however, the area is packed with enemies that are Level 60 and above. To craft Scourgestone, you’ll need four Whetstone, and four Grave Dust (grind bones in a grinder).
How to use Dark Silver Ingots in V Rising
If you’re here and looking to craft Dark Silver Ingots in V Rising, it’s likely that you already know what you’re going to use them for. However, if you don’t, Dark Silver Ingots can be used to craft Dark Silver weapons and gear, and can be used to upgrade your Castle Heart or craft decorative items.
The resource can also be used to craft the Golden Castle Key.
