Discover the most efficient ways to farm Scales in V Rising. Learn where to find them by defeating creatures in the Cursed Forest or deconstructing fish.
Scales are a vital reagent in V Rising, primarily used for crafting the Dawnthorn armor set. You'll need a total of 480 Scales to craft a full set, with each piece requiring 120 Scales, along with Ghost Yarn and Pristine Leather.
How to Find Scales in V Rising
Kill Creatures in the Cursed Forest
The most effective method for obtaining Scales is by hunting creatures in the Cursed Forest, located in the northeast of Vardoran. Earthworms are the best source, dropping 50-80 Scales each, though they are rare and typically found in the swamp/marsh areas, especially in the northwest. While roaming and killing Toads, Spiders, and Mosquitoes in this region, an Earthworm will eventually appear. Farming these creatures can yield around 500 Scales per stack.
Additionally, Spiders found in the Spider Cave in the far north of the Cursed Forest also drop Scales, albeit in smaller quantities. However, the sheer number of spiders makes it a viable farming spot.
Deconstruct Fish in the Devourer
An alternative method for acquiring Scales is through fishing and deconstructing the catch. You'll need to craft a Fishing Pole (recipe from Rufus the Foreman, Level 20) and a Devourer (recipe from Lidia the Chaos Archer, Level 26).
Place caught fish into the Devourer; rarer fish can yield 10+ Scales, with some providing over 50. Note that many common fish will not produce Scales. This method is more time-consuming but is a good option for lower-level players, especially when exploring Farbane Woods.
What Are Scales Used For?
The primary use for Scales is crafting the Dawnthorn armor set at the Tailoring Bench. Each piece requires 120 Scales, totaling 480 for the complete set. Ghost Yarn and Pristine Leather are also needed for this armor, both of which can be found in the Cursed Forest.
