How to get Gold Ingots in V Rising | Where to farm Gold Jewelry
Gold Ingots are vital to upgrading your late-game gear.
V Rising welcomed over a million budding vampires after launching in Early Access on Steam. Now, the game has fully launched - albeit with less fanfare than last time - but it has still managed to rake in several thousands of new and returning players.
That being said, a lot of players are having trouble with finding certain resources. Unsullied Hearts have exceedingly rare drop rates, the Paper Press can take an age to unlock, and getting your hands on Gold Ingots takes some time and effort, too.
In this guide, we’ve explained how to get Gold Jewelry, and how to smelt this into Gold Ingots that can be used for crafting in V Rising.
How to craft Gold Ingots in V Rising
In V Rising, you’ll need to first unlock the recipe for Gold Ingots before you’re actually able to craft any.
To unlock the recipe, you must make your way to Brighthaven Cathedral and defeat V Blood Boss, Azariel the Sunbringer. Azariel is Level 77, so you’re likely not going to have an easy time trying to fight him.
Once you’re finally able to take on Azariel and kill him, you’ll have unlocked the recipe for crafting Gold Ingots. The recipe can then be crafted at your Advanced Furnace using 4x Gold Jewelry and 1x Sulphur, so your next task is to hunt down some jewelry.
If you don't yet have an Advanced Furnace, you'll need to defeat Level 65 V Blood boss, Cyril the Cursed Smith.
Where to get Gold Jewelry in V Rising
Gold Jewelry can typically be collected as drops from enemies in V Rising, but the enemies you’ll need to go up against aren’t easy to tackle.
Paladins and Wizards in the Brighthaven Cathedral area will sometimes drop Gold Jewelry, and while they’ve got nothing on the area boss, Azariel, they’re still tough. However, dedicate a little time to farming these enemies, and you should be able to collect enough Gold Jewelry to smelt your first few Gold Ingots.
Later in the game, Gold Jewelry is also dropped by enemies in the Silverlight Hills area. Specifically, you’ll want to keep an eye out for Knights and Clerics.
Finally, and perhaps most obviously, Gold Jewelry will sometimes be dropped by high-level V Blood Bosses. These will be the toughest enemies to kill, so we recommend sticking to the likes of Wizards and Paladins if you’re looking to smelt as many Gold Ingots as possible.
Once you’re finally able to craft Gold Ingots, you’ll be able to use them to upgrade your gear and weapons!
