If you want to get the V Rising Whetstones you have two options - either take them from the bandits to key locations in the starting area of the V Rising map, Farbane Woods, or construct them back at your Castle Heart via the Furnace, unlocking the recipe when you kill one of the early-game bosses. Either way you'll have to massacre some goons, but they're both worth doing at different phases of the early-game progression path. Read on for more detail on how to get whetstones in V Rising, including crafting and farming.
How to get Whetstones in V Rising
We have described in detail below all the information we knew about this topic, for this you can click on those options or scroll down to see more! Whetstone is a surprisingly useful resource, used to create various weapons and items, as well as certain build items like the valuable Grinder - so if you want to improve your castle and your general tech tree, obtaining Whetstones is an essential move. Get everything set up right, and you can have a regular supply of Whetstones being permanently churned out at your own castle, using Stone Dust and Copper Ingots as fuel - but to do that, you'll need to set up some special gear first.
Where to find Whetstones
For information, let us tell you that Whetstones can also be found in the world in certain bandit camps and enemy areas, meaning you can just go out hunting and find them organically. Holding the mouse above the areas marked will reveal what you can find there, and some will have Whetstones marked. Of course, if you want a particular place to look, we actually suggest heading to the Bandit Armoury, a large area on the West side of Farbane Woods. Kill all the minor enemies around the area, break all the barrels, and search all the chests - you'll find at least a few Whetstones scattered around. There's also something else you can do here to get a Whetstone recipe - but you'll need to be a pretty high level.
Whetstone recipe location for crafting Whetstones at the Furnace
You've now reached a point at which you probably have a furnace installed at your base in your progress (and if you don't, you should), and when interacting with it, you can see that there is in fact a recipe for Whetstones! Problem is that while you can see the recipe and what's required, you technically don't have the recipe yet, and can't make it for yourself until you find that special blueprint.
If we talk about this recipe, it's actually held by a boss named Grayson the Armourer, who you can track through your Blood Altar - right to the Bandit Armoury, mentioned above, where he waits in an open arena.
The level we're talking about now is level 27, and is very difficult, using a mixture of traps and melee attacks, but those who are agile and can match his gear level shouldn't have too much trouble. Once he's dead, drain him of blood and take the Whetstone recipe back to your Furnace.
How to craft Whetstones
Now is the time when you can use the recipe to make a Whetstone with the following ingredients. From the Furnace, there'll now be a chance to create them automatically, assuming you have the power to keep it going.
- Copper Ingot (1)
- Stone Dust (12)
For information, let us tell you that stone dust is not easily obtained, but there's actually a great method - create Stone Bricks and Stone Dust is created as an offshoot! If you don't know how to create that, we've actually got a guide on V Rising Stone Bricks for you to check out here. Either way, congratulations, you can create your own Whetstones! At this point you'll never be short for them, and you can use them for a lot of things going forwards
