There is one particular piece that represents a moment. After building it, the most demanding bosses in the game become vulnerable, while before they were previously untouchable. Of course, differing player builds may prefer different items, but there is still something of a general consensus in V Rising as to which pieces are strongest,

5 Corrupted Artefact

22. 9 Spell Power

The Corrupted Artefact might be the lowest on this list, but it’s important to include it here as it rockets players into the late game. Once acquiring this item, it’s possible to beat any fight in the game provided the rest of the gear is spot on.

Playing offline means needing to fight bosses alone. All those opponents that once seemed unkillable will suddenly fold with minimal effort. This item will be replaced, perhaps quickly, but future upgrades require using this piece as an ingredient.

4 Nightstone Of The Beast

27. 9 Spell Power 15% Physical Critical Strike Chance 20% Physical Critical Strike Damage 10% Physical Resistance

Players that had to beat Nicholaus the Fallen and other such bosses early in the game with very few spells will wish they had an amulet like this earlier. Although the primary function of jewelry is to boost spell power, the bonuses to critical chance and damage can’t be understated.

There are three choices in this tier and some gamers might wonder why this particular one is the lowest of those three. It’s not that this is a bad choice, but ranged characters will definitely use one of the other two and even physical attackers may opt for those pieces as well.

3 Shard Of The Frozen Crypt

27. 9 Spell Power 15% Spell Critical Strike Chance 20% Spell Critical Strike Damage -10% Ability Cooldown

In dangerous areas where gamers need to mine for silver or hunt for gold, the Shard of the Frozen Crypt will keep players killing opponents before they can close the gap. Spellcasters will especially want to consider using this necklace with its critical damage boosts.

The best feature is the 10% reduction in ability cooldown, making it a seductive choice even for melee characters. Being able to use moves more frequently can throw off the natural balance of the game in the player’s favor.

2 Jewel Of The Wicked Prophet

27. 9 Spell Power 10% Weapon Attack Speed 5% Spell Life Leech 5% Movement Speed

Ask anybody giving PvP advice, movement speed is worth large sacrifices in other statistics. The best news is that the Jewel of the Wicked Prophet does not ask for any sacrifices at all, it’s simply an incredible amulet for casters or physical damage dealers.

The spell life leech is beneficial to everyone. Obviously, a ranged character can stay topped off with powerful spells. But physical damage dealers will still need speels that help them out too and this amulet will keep those bruises in battle from piling up.

1 Blood Key

33. 6 Spell Power

It’s natural to wonder where the Blood Key is. Gamers can learn every recipe in the game and still not come across it. Unlike all the other pieces of jewelry, the Blood Key cannot be learned, it must be earned. The item can only be made after slaying Solarus the Immaculate, the final boss.

Players can justifiably prefer the other items on this list since there are no bonus statistics on the Blood Key, just raw spell power. But this spell power is large enough that the other statistics aren’t necessary. Why boost critical strike chance when an average hit from the Blood Key wearer feels like a critical strike already?

V Rising is available in early access on PC.
