V Rising - How To Pick The Best Base Location For You!

[@dawbrewery970]

pro tip: Look at the cave system and remember u can build teleporters. I like having the ability to port to important spots and port back with items through the cave system

[@dirt_mcgirk]

I found the same thing to useful. I hit the banshee villages and cave system back close to home

[@patrikmach514]

Thats why i think that starter zone is rly the best choice. Escorting servants back to base from these high level areas are probably one of most frustrating things in the game. You cant use teleports with them, but you can use caves which is super helpfull.

[@Antonius-ko3df]

yeah the spot he says he regrets taking is in the best zone. it's within 30sec-1min travel from 2 cave passage exits, one that comes directly from Silverlight Hills and one that comes from Cursed Forest with 2 short jumps in cave passages. So it makes it the BEST zone.

[@Skott62]

For the solo players be aware that the deeper you go into the map the higher level mobs there are. They can and will kill you and you lose all your inventory when you go to respawn after death. You have to decide whether to try and level up before going deeper to those places Demone spoke about to build a base or choose to build your base in the lower level mob areas and then work your way in but knowing your base is in the lower areas and travel becomes much longer between your base and resources.

[@Rogerfoulger]

As solo player doesn't sound viable will build where I can progress the story and my level and worry about logistics later

[@Ragnar0321]

@@Rogerfoulger this is my situation am a solo player and i done some research on base location but everyone recommends the high lvl zone so how can a new player get those w/o dying and loosing everything on inventory.

[@Skott62]

@@Ragnar0321 I was trying to do that but unable to. You need to level up your gear to kill those mobs but to level up your gear you need to craft and to craft you need a castle. Therein lies the problem. Demone doesnt mention this or offer a solution. He is high level and I think he forgets that many are playing solo at the beginning.

[@Ragnar0321]

@@Skott62 exactly and not just him every video i seen never mention this fact. yes they all recommended the good zone but forgot that at the very beginning you need to built a castle to keep the progress.

[@Skott62]

@@Ragnar0321 I'm wondering if we can tear down a castle and move it?

[@slevig415]

Honestly the best spot is in Dunley Farmlands at the top left near the cave exit. Quick access to Silverlight and easy cursed forest farm as well

[@wiskrimsbadplay7549]

I was about to say the same thing. The best spots are near cave exits. (Not entrances) You can go to the entrance. Loot and go back to your place using a cave.

[@JeffreyBezeau]

that was my spot as well when i was playing. Just use your own portal to go in cursed forest and come back right away with the passage. As for the silver mines, well you're just next to it so coming back from it isn't that bad.

[@ardentdfender4116]

Absolutely love the content you been putting out on this game. I just picked it up 2 days ago and been playing it since and loving it. My only critique on the video goes to the point of where to build your Castle base starting out. Your recommending higher level areas and speaking from the point of someone far along in the game to which your not gonna recommend starter areas. But a new person starting out has nothing and little skill and they have to start somewhere or they gonna get slaughtered by higher level mobs. As well it depends on whether your also playing entirely Solo and have all the choices or on a Multiplayer server which you may live limited choice where you can even find a plot to plop a Castle down. I'm on a Multiplayer server starting the game and just finding a good spot to place a Castle took me 3-4 hours to eventually find wandering one entire side the map on the Western side initially where i just ran into castles everywhere on my server. They had a week start many and we got around 40 people already. I was wondering almost into the 2nd zone avoid mobs like crazy as hard tp find a spot. It wasnt until i tried the other Eastern side of the map i found a nice spot in the starter area and settled onto it. But that took a lot of time on a Multiplayer PVE server.

[@richardgregory3684]

Yep, I just started the game and guess what - on every server that's not empty you will find all the good spots taken.

[@jagorit3767]

I build my castle near the exit to the farm land on the upper right side in the open area, found it an excellent spot, had a treant directly out front of my base and my base entrance went to the walking path. this causes a MASSIVE amount of loot to be found on the ground everytime I exited my base, the treant wipes out the passerbys constantly

[@chadcarter-tekone8310]

Kinda randomly picked this game up to mess with until Nov 2 freshies! Happy to see you have content over here as well

[@thirtysilver33]

Damn it Demone! You're everywhere! And I am grateful for you brother. 8)

[@AlphaCollectorCZ]

I dont know if its just my server, but it seems that every possible spot for a decent sized Castle is already taken.. Literally everywhere there is a cliff, I just instantly see stairs leading to a castle... Which is kinda big problem on a PvE server.. You just have to hope that some players forget to feed their castle so you can destroy it and build your own lol.

[@ardentdfender4116]

I can honestly say I had the same issue on a Multiplayer Server I just started on 2 days ago with a friendly discord community. I was also starting a week behind many and up to 40 people already. I spent about 3-4 hrs roaming around one entire side of map and run into castles at every good location. It was starting to get frustrating as I had to keep wandering further out into higher lvl areas to search and that was getting quite dangerous. I asked in Global Chat and a few people helped out recommending the other side of starter map. One guy in chat was even warming a spot that I could use having me come there. Along the way I found a good starter location which was a really huge flat up the ramp with 3 entrance/exit. One entrance/exit be better I think but I’m not gonna complain starting out when I couldn’t find any spot before let alone a huge ass area to build expand on. But yeah, finding a spot to build in Multiplayer can take a while. The exploration though initially was kinda fun just starting out and seeing castles everywhere. Finding my own spot to build on was icing on the cake.

[@mrmal8532]

[@insideClaw]

Thank you for the advice, super useful as I'm considering building a second base after realizing my location isn't great for defending - even if I live next to a lovely waterfall. I watched your honeycombing video too, so that will be the basis of my future basebuilding :)

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Since you get 2 castle hearts those playing solo or on a private server could throw up a starter castle near the northern part of the Farbane Woods. Even if there's a bit of a schlep for Iron you can still make the rounds of bandit camps for Paper and random research scrolls to unlock a fair bit of the tech tree.

[@Izzy-tu9oq]

So glad you are back! Missed you man.

[@markusheadmaster1844]

hey, thank you for this upload! ☕️

[@Mr.Dumas1]

That would be cool to be able to teleport from your castle to your other one (with ressources in inventory) Like that you could build without worries a castle in the first part of the map then later start the second one in the end game part of the map

[@marcusherrero4132]

In some servers u can use waygates with recources on u

[@mathewcole3638]

I would say in the southeast is the best place to build, right between the cave exits. you can just teleport where you need to go and return with the caves. Charmed npcs can travel through them as well since they can tp when youre in inaccessible locations.

[@COFFIEND]

The Red Castle on the NW elevated land in Farsbane seems to be a pretty good location. It is right smack dab in the middle between the two entrances to Dunley and Silverlight. Plus it’s a pretty good size for building extra defense if you’re in a PVP server.

[@spookyintentions989]

Pro tip for castle in the beginner area: make usure you build it near a cave entrance that gets you close to some good materials

[@ardentdfender4116]

I’m on a Multiplayer Server with 40 players and starting a week behind many. Finding a good spot to start castle was tough even close to starter areas. However after hours found a HUGE raised Flat spot close to starter area which is totally fine and right next to a Teleport hub. It’s also not too far from a cave exit. This will work fine for me.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

[@DemoneKim]

Happy to help!

[@NewQLer]

Every damn game I go to play you are playing!

[@willfarley5957]

I built my base in the very bottom left of silverlight Hills on a duo pvp server my friend built his base as a wall around the entire valley that's just there to house the cheap stuff and make it hard to get to my base where we put all of the valuable stuff . The best part about having the base there, was that in the early game it made it really easy to farm in the docks where you can get crap tonnes of glass, leather, iron, copper, sulphur, fish oil, fish, and cloth and whetstones, which has made the game so much faster, getting back from the cursed forest is annoying so that is the only major problem, but other than that, it is very defensible, and since there isnt really many respawn points in the silverlight mountains and the enemy patrols make horse riding really hard, it makes attacking the base extremely difficult

[@Justin-ny8df]

From Star Citizen, to New World, now to V Rising. Man covering all of my needed bases (pun intended).

[@speedupdude13]

[@jarofpickles4057]

Recently started, playing singleplayer. Only just got out of Farbane woods, progressing into Dunley Farmlands and I picked the worst damn spot to start my castle lol. Almost certainly going to have to transfer all of my stuff to a better spot, here soon.

[@johnniehouser4010]

remenber u from E7, youre great, keep up the good work man

[@Redridge07]

I think you have to build a starting castle in the beginning zone. Then pick it up and move to your final location

[@Kintsurugi]

Yeah, I figured that's why they give you 2 hearts. So you can leapfrog and slowly build up a new place without having to demolish your old one right away

[@vampuricknight1]

So at the very start of a new server in multiplayer, players/clans will run toward silverlight hills, sneak past the Mobs and start a base north of brighthaven cathedral. That is the single best late game location and if you get there early you can block off the entire area and have one of the largest castles in a hard to attack location with the highest tier loot at your door. Most clans send 1 or two players to do this while the rest farm up and speed run to end game content where they already have a secure location with plenty of space to jump too. There are a few good beginner zone locations... but in truth most of them become obsolete in the late game. There are some that remain good throughout though. The lower left regions of the map for instance have fairly easy access to silverlight hills and can even be constructed in a way which blocks out other players from accessing the connecting land between silverlight and farbane woods.

[@j.d.4697]

Oh you playing this too! It's so addictive. Also, SICK WEAPONS!! =O

[@jeanmaillard6001]

I mean tbf you need to build in the starter area at the beggining since you need to craft shit to get your item lvl up high enough to at least get the wolf form my last bases were at dunley farmland bottom right of the black ring then moved to top left there was a very cute spot on the hill and a massive garden area on the north side I went there because I needed a lot of shit from a bit of everywhere but the starting zone I think it was when I needed more from the swamp

i guess i got lucky. been playing for 3 hours had trouble finding a spot. suddenly i saw a treant or something with a skull next to its name. so i made a run up the hill and build there. but my luck a plant monster spawns close ( on the path of the patrols they keep killing eachother ) and if they passed that they kill the treant. i have like free plant fiber and wood xD something hides because of wolves / moose walking through. at 2:22 its exactly where the red castle is next to the green portal icon thing.

I'm reading feedback of blocking people out of their castle. These areas you recommend don't prevent that? So someone can build in front of your entrance and your done?

[@brandon1469]

Play solo 🤙🏻

[@VenomGamingCenter]

It depends on the server settings. There are settings that prevent people building too close to one another, but if that setting is low and you don't build right out to a road, then yeah someone can block your castle in. Its a known scummy tactic.

I'm playing solo so I'm thinking building at the middle of the map to close to every thing

Is there a high-res map or website for v rising, I see all the map is identical not procedurally generated.

[@MinecraftMartin]

Just started this game. Can you not teleport? Why not just build next to a teleporter? I have no idea, this is an honest question.

[@zevenzeros]

Resources cant be teleported. read the descriptions of items it will tell you.

[@MinecraftMartin]

@@zevenzeros That would explain it. Saw that about an hour after asking about this.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

In addition to the regular marked teleporters, which as you noted won't let you teleport with resources, there are one-way caves that will teleport you with resources even jumping from one entire region to another, and you have mobility options like Wolf Form or using a horse from Dudley Farmlands(they're easy to snag from the racing track). You'll also get the ability to build your own personal teleporter in your castle.

[@boi181818]

You are not taking the cave system into account. I have my base in the same spot you do and the two nearest cave exits are the best two exits to build around

My question is, how do you move the coffin without losing your slave? I was moving my castle but i just couldnt figure it out so I had to terminate them and just build new coffins. Also keep in mind that the game doesnt consider the upgrades, I destroyed my level e heart hoping for the glass and other required stuff, but I only got back the initial construction materials.

you can't refund the castle heart upgrade materials, and you also can't transfer servants to a new location. You can only bring prisoners with you, one by one.

Hey demone! Quick question. I have a castle heart placed and a base build around it but I found a better location. Is there a way to delete my castle heart and move it somewhere else? And if so how. Thank you :)

You have to dismantle everything in my experience, with the heart being last

Lol I picked the spot that you put in the thumbnail

[@Syrin23]

So where do you build your first base, and how big do you make it? Do you disassemble it and relocate?

[@zacharyjackson1829]

decide that for yourself. you can rush northward at the beginning of the game but you have to be careful because higher level mobs will gank you. it also means that you have to travel longer southward at the beginning of the game in order to grind early resources and V bloods. this will be an investment for the future base size depends on you, are you solo? if you are doing PvP it's recommended that you have at least enough space to have multiple refining stations in order to save time. the game lets you build 2 castles, you can relocate as long as you have 1 spare castle heart to use make decisions for yourself

The downfall of these games is something that will always plague them and ultimately make them fail. On a pvp side anyway, That is the constant flow of new players dealing with old players with insane mega bases on that server. The game developers are locked into constantly creating new servers in order to not have new players stuck on a server with people who had a week, month, 6 month head start.
