When first digging intoV Rising, you’ll quickly get the opportunity to build a little vampiric stronghold all your own. One of the objects you can add to your castle right away are Growing Plots, though it might be a struggle to figure out how exactly to plant any seeds in them.
How to find Seeds in V Rising
To plant anything in yourcastle inV Rising, of course you’ll need seeds. I got my first lot after chopping down some Blood Rose bushes as I terrorized the local townsfolk. Another way to get your claws on seeds is by breaking crates and barrels — a great location to do this is the Brighthaven Traders Market in Silverlight Hills — scouring shelves in houses, and even happening upon them in chests.
There are also merchants who will give you coveted seeds in exchange for Silver Coins, and another method is to take downV Rising’svarious V Bloodsand other tough foes you’ll encounter in the game’s open world.
Planting the seeds
Okay, seeds obtained. Now the puzzle is how to actually get them into the ground. When interacting with most other items inV Rising,you just approach it until the button prompt appears. However, Growing Plots don’t give a button prompt, and dragging/dropping the seeds from the inventory onto that confounded pile of dirt just drops them on the ground.
To plant seeds inV Rising,add them to your hotbar. Then press the corresponding hotkey, and a glowy outline of the plant will appear. It’s similar to other objects when you’re building. Move the plant to the desired location on the Growing Plot and confirm as usual.
Figuring out how to plant the seeds I’d collected took an embarrassingly long time, and its inconsistency with the other interaction mechanics in the game is still a little baffling. But at least I got it done!
Where to buy Seeds in V Rising, map and locations
Although you can purchase seeds from different merchants available in the game, they don’t all carry the same stock. So you’ll want to make sure to hit up the correct trader if you have a particular crafting recipe in mind.
Gavyn the Shady Dealer, who patrols the southern half of Farbane Woods, sells seeds for 15 Silver Coins.
Berk the Traveling Trader, who patrols the roads of Dunley Farmlands, sells seeds for 45 Silver Coins.
Ottar the Merchant, who lives in a house on the south end of Brighthaven Slums, sells seeds for 200 Silver Coins.
Getting seeds from plants
If you want to get seeds the old-fashioned, and less expensive, way, you’ll need to head to the zones where the different plants grow.
Now you know where to find or buy the different seeds available inV Risingand, most importantly, how to plant them. The flora you’ll grow as a result can be used to craft various potions and other magical items like yarn, cursed wood, and even Ghouls that can be animated afterbuilding a Tomb.
