Wondering how to get Grave Dust in V Rising? We've got you covered.

In V Rising, Grave Dust is one of the most valuable resources for crafting that players can obtain in the game. Grave Dust is imperative to keeping vampires alive as it is used in the creation of magical weapons and consumable items. Additionally, it notably becomes increasingly easier to obtain as players progress through the game. Here's a breakdown of how to get Grave Dust in V Rising.

V Rising Grave Dust Locations

The first method of getting Grave Dust in V Rising simply involves finding it in one of the following locations around Vardoran:

  • Desecrated Graveyard
  • Infested Graveyard
  • Forgotten Cemetary

Going to any of these graveyards is plan A as each has a surplus of enemies to farm the resource from.

Additionally, for those who've defeated the level 27 boss, Goreswine the Ravager, and thus can make Tombs, spawn and farming those enemies is another way to find Grave Dust.

How to Craft Grave Dust in V Rising

Another method to get Grave Dust is by collecting Bones dropped by Skeletons and throwing them in a Grinder.

To construct a Grinder near your Castle Heart, which can be done immediately after starting your adventure, players can find it in the building menu by going from "Production" to "Refinement."

Admittedly, the recipe to craft a Grinder is one of the more expensive ones. The resources needed to craft a Grinder call for eight Planks, four Copper Ingots and four Whetstones.

Once your Grinder has been placed down and powered by your Castle Heart, you can interact with it and place 100 Bones in the Input section of the Grinder window to get one Grave Dust.

V Rising is available now via early access for Windows PC on Steam. For more on the game, feel free to check out our other guides:
