Resource gathering is one of the main challenges constantly looming over the heads of vampires in Vardoran. Newly awakened players must gather the right materials to craft items and upgrade gear. One notable resource is the Whetstone, and we’re here to help you gather this essential material in V Rising through this guide.

How to Get Whetstone in V Rising

Whetstone is a reasonably common resource in V Rising, and vampires can mostly find it in Bandit Camps. Alternatively, defeat the Level 27 V Blood Carrier, Grayson the Armourer, at the Bandit Armory in Farbane Woods to unlock the crafting recipe for the Whetstone. With the crafting recipe unlocked, craft 2x Whetstone at the Furnace or Advanced Furnace using 1x Copper Ingot and 12x Stone Dust.

Whetstone Crafting Recipes

Although the crafting recipes using Whetstone in V Rising are fewer than other resources, even after the release of Update 1.1, it's still a valuable material needed to progress through the game's early stages. In particular, Whetstone is a much-needed ingredient to crafting upgrades to copper-tier weapons, allowing you a better chance at surviving and winning tough boss fights in Farbane Woods and perhaps even in the Dunley Farmlands.
