There are nineteen merchants scattered across the six regions of Vardoran in V Rising, each offering a selection of goods where you can spend your hard-earned Copper, Silver, and Goldsun Coins. Each merchant has a select amount of items that they can sell, and this changes over time. You can find the merchants at the following locations: Dunley Farmer’s Market, Ruins of Mortium, and Brighthaven Trade District. Each of these places has its unique shops that sell a variety of items.

Update: This guide has been rewritten for the 1.0 update, which completely changed the way that merchants work.

Merchant Currencies and Stock¶

There are five currencies that you can spend in V Rising: Copper Coins, Silver Coins, Goldsun Coins, Stygian Shards, and Greater Stygian Shards. Each of these currencies can be spent in different areas, which are:

• Copper Coins: Spent in Farbane Woods
• Silver Coins: Spent in Dunley Farmlands
• Goldsun Coins: Spent in Brighthaven and Gloomrot
• Stygian Shards: Spent in Ruins of Mortium Vampire Merchant South
• Greater Stygian Shards: Spent in Ruins of Mortium Vampire Merchant North

All the merchants outside the Vampire Merchants in Ruins of Mortium change stock every 60 minutes (default settings) and will sell some of their merchandise in the lists below. If the item you’re looking for isn’t there, then you will have to wait for the stock to refresh. Regarding the Vampire Merchant South in Ruins of Mortium, the recipes will have different stats and magic types attached to them, and these will refresh when the stock gets updated. Finally, these shards have a small chance to give you a Legendary version of the weapon when you purchase the recipe. For a list of all these weapons, check out our Legendary Weapons Guide.

Shady Merchant Camp - East Farbane¶

One of the first merchants you’ll encounter is the Shady Merchant Camps, one in the east, and one in the west. These goods will cost you Copper Coins to purchase, and due to their shady nature, they don’t care if you’re a vampire, so feel free to trade with them without a disguise. This particular camp (Map Marker) can be found to the west of the eastern Vampiric Waygate (Map Marker). Teleport to said waygate, and follow the path southwest to find the camp. Both the east and west shady camps have the same items, although they may be on a different shop rotation. If one of the shops doesn’t have what you want, odds are the other will.

Shady Goods Dealer¶

The Shady Goods Dealer sells a variety of cosmetic helmets, fish, materials, and weapons.

Shady Gem Dealer¶

The Shady Gem Dealer sells a variety of crude gems.

Shady Book Dealer¶

The Shady Book Dealer sells a variety of recipes for armor, weapons, and crafting.

Shady Merchant Camp - West Farbane¶

This camp holds the same stock as the eastern camp. You can find this camp near the western Vampiric Waygate in Farbane Woods (Map Marker). Teleport to said waygate, and follow the path south until you reach the intersection. Take the western path and follow it northwest past the Bandit camp to the north. Continue north until you reach another intersection and take the eastern path, where you’ll find the camp to your south (Map Marker).

Dunley Farmer’s Market Location and Merchants¶

The first merchants that you likely encounter after Farbane Woods are the Rural Merchants in Dunley Farmer’s Market (Map Marker), which is situated in the Dunley Farmlands region, in between both of the Vampiric Waygates. You can find it by teleporting to the east Vampiric Waygate (Map Marker) and following the road west, and then taking the road north at the third intersection. When you reach the market, transform into Human Form, which is obtained by defeating Bane the Shadowblade (Map Marker). If you’re not in Human Form, you’ll be shot on sight and the merchants won’t trade with you.

Inside the Dunley Farmer’s Market, you’ll find four merchants: Rural Gem Merchant, Rural Herb & Potion Merchant, Rural Book Merchant, and Rural Goods Merchant. Read below to find out what each one sells.

Brighthaven Trade District Location and Merchants¶

The Brighthaven Trade District has four merchants you can find here, the City Goods merchant and the City Herb and Potion merchant. These merchants only accept Goldsun Coins as currency, and once again, you’ll need to be in Human Form to access them. The real reason to come to these merchants is to purchase the rare material, Spectral Dust, which can be purchased for 20 Goldsun Coins for every four you purchase. You can find the trade district in the Silverlight Hills, in the south-central area. The easiest way to get here is to teleport to the northwest Vampiric Waygate (Map Marker) in Farbane Woods and follow the path north until you reach Silverlight Hills. Before you head too far, take the western path at the entrance, and follow it west until you enter the trade district (Map Marker).

City Goods Merchant¶

The City Herb & Potion merchant sells a variety of seeds and consumables.

City Book Merchant Stock¶

The City Book merchant sells a variety of recipes for armor, weapons, consumables, and crafting.

City Gem Merchant Stock¶

The City Gem merchant sells a variety of gems.

Gloomrot North Location and Merchants¶

The Treasure Hunter is a unique merchant who has a stock full of various items, from Gems and Recipes to Potions and Materials. It will cost you Goldsun Coins to purchase items from this merchant. Like the Shady Merchant Camps, you don’t need to be in disguise to trade with them. To find the Treasure Hunter, teleport to the southern Vampiric Waygate in the south of Gloomrot North (Map Marker), and exit the waygate via the western path. Now, follow this path north and continue north past the intersection. The house where the merchant does their trade can be found to the west (Map Marker), just past the intersection.

Treasure Hunter¶

As there is only one merchant here, the Treasure Hunter has an assortment of goods to purchase for Goldsun Coins including the unique cloaks, Royal Mantle of Ashfolk Kings, Royal Veil of the Jester, and the Tail of the Archfiend.

Ruins of Mortium¶

Added with the full release of V Rising, the two merchants in the Ruins of Mortium are Vampire Merchants, meaning you don’t have to be in disguise to trade with them. Both camps are on the west side of the ruins, with one being in the north and the other in the south. The currency for these merchants can be earned by breaking the crystals in the various points of interest scattered around the ruins. However, if you build an Eye of Mortium in your Castle, you’ll unlock Rift Incursions, events that take place in the same areas that reward you with larger quantities of this currency. Read our Rift Incursions Guide to find out more.

Vampire Merchant Camp North¶

This camp can be found to the north of the northwestern Vampiric Waygate (Map Marker) in Ruins of Mortium. Teleport to the waygate and follow the path north. The camp will be to the west of the North Fortress Ruins point of interest (Map Marker). When you trade with the merchant, you’ll find out that you can only spend Greater Stygian Shards here, where you can purchase the best weapons in the game. Each time you purchase one of the shards, it can have different stats unless you’re lucky enough to get the legendary version of the shards where the stats will be the same. These shards change what stats and magic schools they belong to every time the stock updates.

Vampire Merchant Camp South¶

The southern camp can be found to the east of the southwestern Vampiric Waygate (Map Marker). Teleport to the waygate and exit via the southern path until you reach the intersection. Take the eastern path to another intersection, where you’ll find the camp to the east of it (Map Marker). This camp is north of the Vampire Cemetery point of interest. The stock you can find here is worse than the north camp but is better than most of the other weapons you’ll find and is a good starting point for accumulating power. As these aren’t as good as the other shards, you’ll only have to use the regular Stygian Shards to purchase them, which is a much easier currency to acquire. Like the north camp, these weapons stats and magic school will change when the stock updates.

There you have it, every shop in the game with its costs and location ready for you to explore. As mentioned above, the Dunley Farmlands and Brighthaven merchants require you to have the Human Form transformation spell obtained from Bane the Shadowblade otherwise, you’ll be attacked on sight and the merchants will quiver with fear. You’ll find the currency required for each merchant in their respective zones. For example, Silver Coins can be found as loot from enemies or in chests/containers in the Dunley/Brighthaven areas.
