How to Get and Find WhetstonesBy Renee "Wren" Lopez, Adam Hadad, Angie Harvey, +13 moreupdatedMay 30, 2022

There are plenty of crafting resources and consumables at your disposal in V Rising. These resources are essential for forging better armor and weapons, as well as constructing alchemy labs, tailoring equipment, and other workshops such as the Grinder. In this V Rising guide, you will learn everything you need to know about finding and farming Whetstones, a key blacksmithing component.

How to Get Whetstones in V Rising

Whetstones in the early game are important because they are one of the components for constructing a Grinder, the workshop used for crafting Stone Bricks. To get whetstones, go to a Bandit Armory where you can collect whetstones from enemies, or they can be found in chests, barrels, and crates. One trip through a Bandit Armory should give you the number of whetstones you need to construct a Grinder. If not, the enemies will respawn, which will allow you to farm the Armory if you need to.

Another good aspect of the Bandit Armory is the fact it is located just north of the Vampire Waygate that's found on the western side of the Farbane Woods region. Should you happen to die while trying to take on the Bandit Armory, getting back to pick up your items will be significantly quicker than the other locations.

Other locations that Whetstones can be found include:

• Farbane Woods:
  • Bandit Stronghold
  • Bandit Encampment
• Dunley Farmlands:
  • Bastion Dunley

It should be noted that enemies in the Bandit Armories in Farbane Woods are levels 18-30, which means you should have decent gear before venturing into these camps. At the very least you should have the Plated Boneguard (Gear Level 2) vestments equipped or at least one piece of Nightstalker (Gear Level 3) or Merciless Nightstalker (Gear Level 4) gear. Along with armor, it is also highly recommended that you have a few Copper weapons (Gear Level 9) equipped to help deal more damage to the high-level enemies.

Whetstones can also be forged in the Furnace if you have the recipe. The recipe is a reward from Grayson the Armourer, a level 27 V Blood Boss. After you defeat him, you will be able to craft whetstones for 1 Copper Ingot and 9 Stone Dust.
