V Rising encourages you to seduce and enslave hapless people to force them to do your bidding. Servants are a helpful resource that make resource gathering over time considerably simpler. It might be tedious to gather materials for building your fortress, especially if you play alone. The procedure is sped up a hundredfold by servants. This servant guide will teach you how to recruit and unlock servants, manage servants and construct a castle throne, and dispatch servants on excursions across Vardoran.

What Are Servants and How Do You Use Them?
In V Rising, Servants’ purpose is as additional supporters who can assist you with the more laborious chores you must do. These NPCs may guard the fort by automatically repelling enemy attacks on your castle or even gathering resources while you are off robbing dungeons and leveling up.
Therefore, it is likely that you will wish to recruit these servants to protect you from the less desirable features of the vampire way of life.
Unlocking Servants and Getting Stone Coffins
Unfortunately, until you have built a relatively sophisticated castle, you won’t be able to enchant traveling tourists. Therefore, improving and constructing your castle’s foundational buildings should be your main priority.
We advise following the Journal Quests in the top left of the screen for some guidance and rewards if you become stuck or lost. These objectives are sealed behind a number of vital elements that are necessary for you to continue on your adventure, therefore fulfilling them is crucial.
Additionally, many V Blood carriers own the secret building materials, building plans, and Vampire Abilities you will need to strengthen yourself, so go cautiously through these foes to keep your castle up to date.
You may control people by using Servant Coffins, which you can get by completing the Lord of the Manor quest. When you are able to turn at least a portion of your castle into stone, you can unlock the ability to create and link yourself to a Stone Coffin. After you’ve secured yourself to the coffin, get the prize to continue the Journal Quest.
Getting Servants and Starting Your Army of Darkness
You must construct one of your newly unlocked Servant Coffins for the Servants Journal Quest using 16 planks, 8 copper ingots, and 1 Greater Blood Essence. Locate Unsullied Hearts, then put 4 of them in a Blood Press to obtain this specific Blood Essence.
Once you begin fighting opponents at levels 25 to 30, Unsullied Hearts are often found on V Blood Carriers or other identified foes in the universe. Put your planks and copper ingots together once you’ve made a Greater Blood Essence, then position the coffin anywhere you choose.
The Dominating Presence Form, which you may equip by pressing Ctrl to reveal the Vampire Power wheel, can be unlocked by collecting the task reward. Your vampire spells and powers won’t be available to you while in this form. Instead, a ranged spell that may be cast on your enemies will take their place. A human with poor health who is subjected to this spell will be charmed and follow you wherever you go, as shown above. You use this method to entice people to return to your castle so you may bind them to your Servant Coffin.
If you desire additional servants, you will need more coffins because one servant can only be attached to one at a time. Remember that the amount of servant coffins you may have is capped by the level of your Castle Heart, so if you want additional aid, keep upgrading.
The effectiveness of the person will depend on their blood type, blood quality, and faction. However, for now, feel free to take any old bandit you come across—you can always change them later.
Return to the Servant Coffin when 90 minutes have passed. You may view a list of your servant’s skills here, give them a name, and then release them to explore your castle at will. You may interact with their inventory when they are moving about to offer them items. For the time being, this will also finish the new Army of Darkness quest, so be sure to collect your prize for doing that one as well. This will be necessary to strengthen them for excursions.
Crafting a Castle Throne
How would you direct your servant now that you have one? From your castle’s throne, of course! You just got the formula to make a Throne after finishing the Army of Darkness quest, but be aware that it’s a really pricey building.
Stone Bricks, 4 Greater Blood Essence, and 16 Iron Ingots are needed for your Castle Throne. Iron can be difficult to obtain, and there’s a high possibility you haven’t seen it in the game yet. You must travel to the Dunley Farmland in the north to begin discovering random deposits because you won’t locate them in the Farbane Woods beginning region.
Before going to gather additional Iron, make sure you are at a comparable level and that your equipment is up to the task because you’ll need a Refined Copper weapon and the monsters in the region are level 30–40, if not higher.
You should gather as many stacks of iron ore as you can carry on each run since it takes a lot of iron ore to manufacture a single iron bar. The Haunted Iron Mine is useful in that situation. Meredith the Bright Archer, a powerful V Blood Carrier, is present. At your level, you might not be able to defeat her, but if you take out the weaker reinforcements and wait for the Archer to patrol away from you, you can sneak into the mine, take as much ore as you can, and then flee with your new haul of supplies.
Once you have your iron ore, you must ensure that you have the formula to use to create products. You must beat a few certain V Blood Carriers to do this. Clive the Firestarter is located in the Bandit Sulphur Quarry, which is far to the West. You may create explosives at an Alchemy Bench once you defeat Clive. Once you’ve created some explosives, proceed to this fortified area to the north of Farbane Woods. Place the explosives so you can go inside by opening the door.
This serves as Quincey the Bandit King‘s foundation. He may be challenging to defeat at level 37, but it’s worthwhile to try. The ability to transform iron ore into iron bars and produce iron weapons, a significant increase over a copper weapon set, is one of the benefits of defeating him. Once it is finished, get back to your castle to begin fusing those iron bars into your posh new chair.
Using the Castle Throne to Send Servants on Expeditions
After you’ve set up your throne, you may begin dispatching V Rising’s Servants to the many camps and places you’ve found throughout Vardoran. You do this by deciding on a location, setting a deadline for the expedition, and allocating Servants to the job. Keep in mind where you will be sending your servants when you initially charm them because this is the time when your Servant’s stats and type will be most useful. You may want to take more Servants from a location that you will raid more frequently.
Your enthralled champions, like you, are only as powerful as the equipment they are wearing, therefore you will need to construct armor and a weapon to protect them from bears while they are carrying out your orders. Naturally, this increases their strength and, hence, their likelihood of success. Don’t bother making a whole collection of weapons for them. Unlike you, they only need one powerful weapon to survive.
Make sure you only assign Servants to missions where they have a reasonable probability of success since everywhere you choose to send them will have its own power level that you need to take into consideration.
It can take a while to complete the excursion. It can take up to 24 actual hours if you extend the time limit, but your Servants will be more likely to succeed and will amass more wealth as a consequence. As described at the bottom of the expedition planning page, when your companions return they will be full of whatever you asked them to locate. To take the materials from each servant’s inventory and begin utilizing them for your own needs, interact with each servant.
Before sending them out on excursions to more challenging places, you might want to invest more cash in equipment because stronger areas demand tougher servants. Naturally, this would delay how much of a particular resource you initially acquire for your personal needs, but perhaps it would enable you to receive bigger amounts of a particular resource faster over time as your servants’ progress in their explorations.
Which Are The Best Servants in V Rising?
It’s difficult to state that any certain servant in V Rising is significantly superior to others because there aren’t any clear-cut predetermined servants. Instead, you’ll need to examine each person’s stats and benefits to decide which are the most valuable as they are simply NPCs in converted form.
Blood type and faction are particularly helpful when creating a servant construct for invading enemy castles. These decide, respectively, how tough each quest they embark on and how much reward you receive for a successful attack.
We will show you the best Servants for both PvP, PvE, and castle defense, in this other detailed guide, since there is much to talk about in that category as well.
End
This concludes our discussion on Servants in V Rising. If you can locate one that hits the ideal statistical balance, they may be incredibly helpful in doing the grubby job while you’re out finishing new tasks.
To guarantee you have the most effective Servants in Vardoran, keep improving your Castle Heart to build additional Servant Coffins, and keep a lookout for people with a strong blood type as you go.
