Both Stone Brick and Stone Dust are essential items to continue your progression in V Rising. You'll need Stone Brick to upgrade your castle, and you'll need Stone Dust to craft Whetstones, a very important material for upgrading your early-game gear.
You can either collect these items from around the world - via chests and other destructible items - or you can craft them. Both methods have their advantages, of course - here's how to go about using them.
V Rising is currently in Early Access. As a result, the information below may change throughout the development process.
Updated May 22, 2023: With V Rising's first major content pack, Secrets of Gloomrot, many are flocking back to the game. We've given this guide another once-over to make sure things are accurate and readable.
How To Craft Stone Brick
Stone Brick is crafted at the Grinder.
First, to build the Grinder you need:
- Eight Planks
- Four Copper Ingots
- Four Whetstones
You do not need to defeat a boss to unlock the Grinder, but you will need to build a Sawmill, Furnace, and craft or gather Whetstones before you can make the Grinder and craft Stone Bricks.
It's pretty a long process, but the game does steer you through that early progression.
Where Else Can You Find Stone Brick?
Stone Brick can be obtained from some destructible objects and buildings in the world. You might also find Stone Brick in chests.
How To Craft Stone Dust
Stone Dust is a result of the same crafting process as Stone Brick. Simply place Stones into the Grinder, and you will receive one Brick and one Stone Dust for every 12 Stones you put in.
Where Else Can You Find Stone Dust?
Stone Dust can also be obtained from some destructible objects and buildings in the world. Try knocking down a few pillars out there in the wild and see what happens. You can also find Stone Dust in chests.
What Are Stone Brick And Stone Dust Used For?
Both of these are crucial for your progression through the game.
- Stone Brick is used to build Stone Walls and eventually encase a room with a roof, which is required to complete the tutorial.
- Stone Dust is a crucial material in the Whetstone crafting process, and you will require Whetstones to upgrade your gear in the early game.
