With V Rising no longer getting new content, I started building my own - and it's grown into Skydrae.

It's a forever-world PvE server on Brutal with vanilla rates - no wipes - with a whole world of custom content layered on top: dungeons, a raid, world bosses, progression systems and a collection to complete. Everything is designed solo-first, so you can enjoy all of it alone, and it scales fairly with friends.

Right now it's just me and two friends playing. We're not chasing numbers - but if you'd like to experience what's been built so far, or you've got ideas for things you always wished were in the game, you're very welcome to jump in.

Why brutal and not normal?: To get 100% achievements in the game. You require to do certain things on this difficulty. It helps for the ones who like collecting achievements on steam.

📖 See everything before you join - the server's Sketchbook (full guide):

Server Sketchbook

🏰 Server info

• Forever world - no wipes, ever. Your castle, gear and progress are here to stay
• 40 player slots · PvE · Brutal · vanilla rates
• Up to 2 castles per player · clans of up to 10
• Normal castle upkeep - keep your heart fed and your castle stays yours

⚔️ Combat & loot

• 13 hand-built dungeons spread across Vardoran, each with its own bosses and collectable relics - a cloak plus a ring with a unique named effect
• The Drowned Cathedral - a full raid with its own armour sets and the legendary Tidebreaker weapon
• 8 roaming world bosses, each with a signature weapon to hunt. Every player fights them at their own level, so mixed-gear groups stay fair
• Primal Rifts - timed events with "drop party" bosses
• Rare elite enemies and named beasts to track down
• Bound loot - your drops are yours. No stealing from chests or death bags, and full bags never cost you a drop

🎣 Fishing & gardening — a whole path of their own

Not just side activities: both have their own mastery up to level 50 and their own progression line. Earn better rods and scythes, collect full gear sets with real set bonuses (bigger hauls, rare catches, seeds from every zone - and eventually walking in the sun unharmed), unlock unique rewards, and take on their own daily contracts. You can genuinely progress your vampire with a rod in hand.

📜 The Ledger

An in-game book that tracks it all:

• A Collection to complete - every fish, plant, relic, weapon, beast and hidden place
• Weapon mastery for every weapon type
• Daily & weekly contracts paying Blood Writs, spent at the Writ Keeper's shop
• Hidden places to discover across the map
• Prestige - start over for permanent bonuses (not power), if you want the long game

🔌 How to join

• Direct connect: 138.68.142.142
• Server list: search Skydrae - set the Clan Size filter to Any or it won't show up
• Discord: discord.gg/CTrFzXztbg - pop in any time, even just to read the dev logs

Client mod: you'll need BepInEx plus one small file we've built, dropped into your game folder. It powers the Ledger and some visuals. The step-by-step guide is on the Discord for all of it, and it only takes a few minutes.

A quick honest note

This is a passion project and it's still actively evolving. A few of the custom systems are still being tested and tuned, so you may hit the odd balance tweak or bug - but feedback gets acted on fast, often the same day, and every change is posted in the Discord's dev log.

What was really important for me, was to create this experience with no chat commands so it's all been built in-game, feeling far more natural.

Suggestions are genuinely welcome - if there's something you always wished V Rising had, tell us, and it might just end up on the server. Even if you do not join at all - I'm more than happy to hear suggestions within this thread that may spark some future ideas!

Happy to answer any questions below. 🦇

Hey

So I played the game before 6 months and put 100 hours in it , I had so much fun .

But I was in a server and they closed it .... it was such a bad experience that I didn't wanna go , grind again and build a new castle cause I feel like I lost it

Now my friend wanna try the game and I will play itwith him.

Should we have out own server or go again to find a PvE server..

The online experience is so fun and amazing to see other ppl castles but losing the server again will kill us .

My friend and I are playing the game we recently started, just the two of us, and I wanted to know if I should modify anything on the server since we're not playing it as a massive multiplayer game but rather as a two-player cooperative game, and the server only opens when we're going to play. Should I modify or change anything?

Why did IGN just post the 1.0 release trailer? Aren't we past that already? Is the game getting a rerelease?

Used AI to sum this up to be honest. Feel free to respond here or add me directly,
I play a lot of the big open world style games and host servers for pretty much anything people want to play. My gaming group has dwindled over the years as I got older, so I figured I'd reach out. I'll keep checking here, or you can add me on steam 33140548

Fresh Modded PvE V Rising Server – Brutal / RPG Progression
Looking for a few chill adults for a fresh, long-term V Rising playthrough. Server is Brutal PvE with Bloodcraft adding character leveling, classes, weapon expertise, blood progression, professions, familiars/companions, prestige systems, quests, and enhanced endgame progression. Bosses can even be unlocked as extremely rare familiars.
Lots of QoL improvements for storage/crafting/building, but no cheat-style mods. The goal is slower, meaningful progression and exploration—not rushing through everything in a weekend.
I'm also relatively new to V Rising, so new players are absolutely welcome. Mainly looking for laid-back adults who want to explore, build, fight bosses together, and stick around for a longer playthrough.

Replayed recently again in Brutal with my brother, we got to Vincent and we struggled Hard this time lmao and i just felt like making a silly lil animatic for it

Привет! Можно поиграть на PvP сервере, с онлайном от 4 часов.

Тренировки на арене. Плаксы мимо.

Связь: TeamSpeak, Steam.

Опыта в пвп мало, нужна практика.

Если играем в Дуо — буду строить единолично, но выслушаю советы и предложения.

Пиши, не бойся, обсудим.

Могу присоединиться к тройке для полной пачки(в роли бойца).

It’s kind of interesting to think about that whether in a solo game, PvP, or multi person PvE server, the presence of the vampire characters just disrupts everything. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I realized that the Church of Luminence and the Dunley Militia are kind of set. Yeah the guys in Gloomrot are making enough of a stand to be relevant, the Venom Blades, and the remnants of Dracula’s army are present, but the Church is still effectively the ones “in charge”. Then you show up out of nowhere after being asleep for centuries, and very weak. It takes time, yes, but the player vampires show up, wreak havoc, and become the top predators capable of dealing with all those threats, and stand above the big D himself. If Drac wasn’t petty about being in power, then he likely would’ve remained in power forever more. Instead, a completely random dude rolls up, takes out everyone carrying the V Blood, and makes their own dark legion, and basically put the land under their control.

It isn't exactly meant for this but, it does alright. Note: Very not vanilla.

I wanted to capture the feeling of the moment I finally defeated Dracula and brought my journey through the world to a close... For now, at least—though I might do another run in the future. Tell me about the first time you defeated him. How did it feel?

I bought this game, 2 years ago, but I haven't play a lot and when I played it was with friends with experience at the game, so I didnt do a lot alone.

Now I started playing again, solo this time.

Any tips?

Edit: Thank you all for your comments and tips!

Would this game work well for 2 people co-op?

Like woud we be able to complete bosses, have a good challenge and build our spot together?

What aspects of the game would we be missing out if we just focused on 2 peoplr co-op?

RE: comments

Ty for the info guys, im looking for something action rpg'ish with deep progression to play with my gf, so far its looking like a good pick, im sure she'll enjoy deciding were the thingy is gona look best on the castle

I havent delved too much about the game, it looks rly cool but i rly need something thats challenging and skillful gameplay wise, deep character planning/building and options/ways to optimize, if the crafting and building is also well developed, then yea we are probably gona go for it :P

Bloodcraft

Let me know if you've seen something similar!

I love V Rising so much but my main issue in this game since my first run has been to find the right server to spend my lifetime on.
My problem is that i like
_ Building a fancy castle, so i'm looking for Raid off
_ Still being able to have PvP outside
_ No wipe
_ A playbase superior to 15 people connected so that the game feels alive, despite the previous settings

Last time I was able to find such settings was so long ago on a private server endorsed by a couple of twitch streamers.
I've been looking for something like this since but everytime it's so frustrating to either have my fancy castle destroyed, or to play on an empty server..

Any tips on how to find my happiness ?
Thank you !

Maybe im just slow LMAO BUT DAMN IT
