How to Get Elixir in V Rising

Elixirs are extremely important consumables that you can use in V Rising, so here's everything you need to know about it.

An Elixir is a powerful consumable in V Rising that boosts your abilities, making boss fights easier. Although using Elixirs during fights is not mandatory, they usually end up dictating the outcome of the encounter, thanks to the buffs they provide. 

Like the Greater Blood Essence, you need to craft these Elixirs before using them. There are eight Elixirs right now, with unique effects that stay active for around 60 minutes. 

How to Unlock Elixirs in V Rising

To craft Elixirs, you’ll have to unlock the Alchemy Table first. The recipe for this structure is a reward for defeating Clive, the Firestarter, in V Rising. He’s a level 30 V Blood Carrier you will find at the Bandit Sulphur Quarry.

Once he’s defeated, you can finally build the Alchemy Table at your base. To build the structure, you’ll need the following materials: 

  • 100 Blood Essence 
  • 16 Plank
  • 12 Sulphur
