This is our complete V Rising: Iron Mining guide.

Mining Iron in the outskirts of Vardoran is mandatory for surviving the harsh vampiric world of V Rising. Despite being a survival-based world, the game incorporates basic building and mining to a realistic level. However, sourcing the Iron to build stronger items can be hard. 

V Rising: Iron Mining Guide

Iron can be mined with a Merciless Copper Mace and is abundantly present in the middle of the map. You will be needing an Iron smithy to make the most out of this resource. Once the Bandit King has been defeated, the need for Iron will be immense.

Needless to say, mining Iron is a bit different than materials like copper due to its high procuring difficulty. Therefore, it’s generally recommended you make the trip after obtaining a smithy.

In this guide, I will show you the ins and outs of using Iron as your base material in order to create stronger armaments. With that said, let’s jump in and get started!

How To Use Iron in V Rising?

Iron is only usable after the smelting process. Therefore, you would need to make a trip to your castle to smelt Iron in order to make the most out of it. Having said that, Iron is the next best material after the readily available copper. 

Hence, we recommend you mine large batches of Iron before heading back to the furnace. Once the smelting process is completed, you can use the smithy to craft stronger gear (items & weapons) for yourself.
