Learn where to find Ghost Yarn in V Rising. Discover the best locations in the Cursed Forest, enemy strategies, and crafting recipes for this essential late-game material.
Ghost Yarn is a crucial material for crafting end-game equipment in V Rising. While it can be challenging to find, this guide will show you the best locations and methods to acquire it.
Where to Find Ghost Yarn:
The primary locations for finding Ghost Yarn are the two Ancient Villages within the Cursed Forest biome, located in the far northeast of Vardoran.
West Ancient Village
Upon entering the Cursed Forest, take the left path to reach the first Ancient Village. This area is populated by tough enemies, including Level 62 Banshees, Skeleton Mages, Bishops, and Priests. Banshees can attack with projectiles, turn invisible, and then perform melee attacks.
Ghost Yarn has a low chance of appearing in containers and chests found within the houses of the village. Search all dilapidated houses and their contents, such as bookcases, drawers, boxes, and chests.
East Ancient Village
The East Ancient Village is located in the easternmost part of the Cursed Forest. To reach it from the West Ancient Village, take the northern exit, then the southern path at the crossroads, followed by the eastern path. Continue taking eastern paths at subsequent crossroads until you reach the village.
This village is larger than the western one, offering more houses and thus more opportunities to find containers. However, the chance of obtaining Ghost Yarn from these containers remains low. Expect to encounter the same types of undead enemies as in the West Ancient Village.
Servant Hunts
While you can send servants on hunts to the Ancient Villages, the chance of them returning with Ghost Yarn is low, as it is not explicitly listed as loot in the hunt menu.
Crafting Ghost Yarn
The most reliable way to obtain Ghost Yarn is by crafting it. You will need a Loom to combine 8 Ghost Shrooms with 4 Cotton Yarn to produce 1 Ghost Yarn. This process takes a few minutes per yarn.
Crafting Cotton Yarn
To craft Cotton Yarn, you need 20 Cotton for each Yarn, which is also done in the Loom.
How to Get the Loom
The Loom recipe is unlocked after defeating Beatrice the Tailor, a V-Boss found in Dawnbreak Village in the Dunley Farmlands. Crafting a Loom requires 20 Planks, 12 Copper Ingots, and 4 Wool Thread.
How to Get the Tailoring Bench
The Tailoring Bench is unlocked by defeating V-Boss Quincey the Bandit King (Level 37) in the Bandit Stronghold in the northern Farbane Woods. Crafting it requires 200 Blood Essence, 40 Planks, and 28 Cotton Yarn. It's recommended to place the Tailoring Bench in a separate room with Looms to gain room bonuses.
What Ghost Yarn is Used For
Ghost Yarn is primarily used in the Tailoring Bench to craft the Dawnthorn armor set. Each piece of the Dawnthorn armor requires 8 Ghost Yarns. For example, the Dawnthorn Chestguard requires 8 Scales, 1 Pristine Leather, and 1 Ghost Yarn.
