12 V Rising Tips for EVERY Beginner!

Little tip , Break everything like crate, barrel and so on. Cause u're gonna get a lot of material such as glass , oil and so on . its a great way to get material already done without wasting resources and time.

I bought the Castlevania pack cause I love that franchise and saw the Alucard armor, but noticed it’s only level 1 when I equipped it so I’ve kept it in a box, but now that I know there’s a vanity slow I can actually equip it, so thanks!

MY TIPS You can name your chests. When a storage unit is open click on its name at the top and you can give it your own name, this makes marking things like "grass", "wood", "stone dust" etc much easier to find when you are crafting, and you wont have access to the specialty storage units until later in the game. Even then its easier to make multiple speciality storage units and again name them based on whats actually inside. Faster for crafting. In Solo mode you dont need to make castle walls everywhere. You can make castle entrances for easier running around and just put wooden doors on the inside walls for sturdier doors on the outside walls. This is help when you are making specialty rooms for crafting. You can move between them easier when every wall is actually a door. Like True_Cyan said you wanna make multiple crafting stations as early as possible and I recommend grinding out wood planks and sawdust, alongside stone bricks and stone dust as early as possible in large quantities. Much later in the game you will need lots of them. Same with turning copper ore into copper ingots. Go on trips to harvest LOTS of copper and start pumping out by the truckload. And make plenty of storage boxes to hold it all. When making your base leave room for expansion because you will need many types of crafting rooms and some of them will need multiple crafting units, like grinders and furnaces. But again, you can move everything for free and its quick.

I’m getting this. I just am overwhelmed with all the crafting- never played a game like this…

WOW! I didn't know about the cosmetic options, that's fantastic. Thanks

What i feel that people dont tell you at all, so as a complete beginner, here are some important points: 1. If you play on brutal difficulty, not only will the enemies be more difficult, you will also need much more (10x) materials to produce stuff, planks costs 35 wood instead of 3, for instance. For longterm players choose the difficulty higher, for shortterm lower 2. You need to craft 3 weapons, sword, maze, axes to progress faster, you need to upgrade your gear to upgrade your "level", as the typical monster slashing level progression is limited only to the Vblood bosses. For wolf form you need to kill the (first) wolf boss with copper weapons. 3. You need to clear an highlighted (white lines) area with these weapons first to build a castle heart (requires blood), build that asap, as you need the castle to upgrade these weapons (for that you need to process your wood, stone, copper) 4. You need a brisk and burn your bones to create smoke against the sun, then walls, then two doors, 5. your castle requires blood to sustain, so you need to have an upkeep! 6. harvesting copper requires a higher weapon level, than the beginner weapons, so farm for planks asap 7. Keep your doors closed when offline. 8. As soon as you got your stone walls castle complete you dont need to burn bones anymore to create the mist

One of the things that really made the game easier is keeping all the printing press mats. Keep the grass, the sawdust, get a big garden going early and farm for pollen. If you keep all that stuff and get your library up and running then you can unlock all the engrams suuuper fast. Especially if you can grab a library floor from the vendors. Other than that I hardly even use books. Just pack the press, run around and do stuff, come back and unlock 5+ things. Last playthrough, I had enough mats for half the athenaeum's engrams before even unlocking it and I'd already finished the desk and 90% of the study unlocks.

I have like 600 hours into this game and only now learning about the colour options, lol. Gonna have to test that out when I log in later :P

Perfect video! This was exactly what I was looking for.

And, in my opinion, its worth buying the Miner’s mace and Lumberjack’s axe for a couple copper coins (or dropping them if youre lucky!) and give them to the Devourer for (if i remember well) 12 silver coins for each tool.

I'm glad I started keeping alot of the plant fiber. Lol

Crucial tip, its often better to upgrade your armor in the early game than it is to repair it. I have never played PVP, but servants are not worth your time in the early game in PVE. Once you're at dawnthorne, i.e tier 7, then start gearing servants. At the end of the day, you can gather those resources 10x faster than your servants (bar coarse and wool thread, those are a pain in the ass) Keybind your spells to places you access them as easily as possible, and do not by any means underestimate the power of any ability that is a shield (Chaos, unholy, frost), they will be your best ability in boss fights. In the mid - late game, don't make anything above a 95% your servant unless you already have a prisoner of that type at 100%, expertise is a joke and you shouldnt give it much value. Blood Rage, Power Surge, and the lightning dash all increase your attack speed, which makes you gather resources quicker.

I think copper coins should be kept cause you can buy hammers and axes from the merchants and break those down into silver later, and if thats not enough well just buy seeds than, you will need it for the garden of roses to make healing potions and more

lol the thumbnail is so true. Keep the plant fiber.

I was farming the wolf for unsullied hearts and the last 4 times I've killed him he hasn't dropped one.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm unlucky or something else is going on.

Id love to know how to build a roof. Cant seem to see it when first starting castle

greater blood es. can be crafted via blood press through vermin nest - rats-blood essences.

Thanks!

Good video, and your voice over is really clean! However, I found the subtitles animation with the flamboyant text and how much screen space they take up to be extremely obnoxious, I almost had to click off the video it was bugging me so much. In my opinion, the video doesn't need it, I'm really not sure what they are adding.

cranked 4 grinders, 2 sawmills and one woodworking station in one 6x2 room 😂
