Patch 1.1 Invaders of Oakveil for V Rising is now live

Greetings, night hunters!

Since the 1.0 launch last May we’ve been busy: a PlayStation 5 release, a mountain of bug fixes on every platform, and—exactly as promised—a hefty free update. Almost every change springs from your feedback, blending quality-of-life polish with a feast of fresh content.

Below you’ll find a completely re-written (and spoiler-packed!) overview of patch 1.1 prepared for the XLGAMES.GG community. Make sure to restart your server after tweaking any settings.

Spoiler alert: stop here if you prefer to discover everything on your own.

WORLD & LOCATIONS

New Biome – Oakveil Woodlands
Toxic vines engulf the north-west of Vardoran, where the mysterious Venom Blades harvest foul “Venom Sap” for their Serpent Queen Megara. Cut their ritual short before the corruption spreads.

Key points: Carvers Logging Outpost • Venom Mixing Outpost • Venom Blades Bastion • Oakveil Shoreline

Legacy Zones Updated

• Farbane gains a cave exit to Oakveil.

• Silverlight Hills now links to the new forest by road.

• Fresh routes connect Dunley → Gloomrot North.

NPC Life & Day-fight Shade
Idling characters now lean on walls, rest at fires, work fields, and boss arenas gained denser cloud cover for safer daytime battles.

COMBAT & PVP

Contests System (also works on PvE)

• Dueling Banner – drop a flag, duel one-on-one, auto-heal at the end.

• Arena Station – build a full arena, pick teams, toggle “sudden death,” etc.

CASTLES

New Stations
Stable • Redistribution Engine • Blood Homogenizer • Fusion Forge • Treasury floor • Advanced Sawmill
Plus invisible foundations, move-able planters, XL plots, extra teleports, loads of décor, and early Throne of Darkness.

SERVANTS

Any blood-bearing unit can be dominated; conversion now 20 min. Throne unlocked earlier, base Hunting Proficiency 100, four new hunt sites.

AUDIO & MUSIC

Speaker-mode selector (stereo / 7.1) and two Oakveil tracks (day / night). Hundreds of SFX polished.

SERVER SETTINGS

Clan-based Castle limits • Stygian Shard drop multiplier • SoulShard_DurabilityLossRate • Private-host pause.

RAIDS

Ladders trigger “under attack”; pillars break again; gate HP –50 %; siege golems deal fixed damage.

UI / ACCESSIBILITY

Build menu reorganised, “Research” → Knowledge. Traders got descriptions, stack-split slider added, text scaling, better chat/map/sorting.

BLOOD & ATTRIBUTES

All blood types reworked, new Corrupted blood, two Stygian passive tiers. New stats: Weapon/Spell Charges, Ultimate Power, Shapeshift Speed, etc.

WEAPONS & SPELLS

Three newcomers (Claws, Daggers, Twinblade) plus six fresh baseline spells. School Mastery system, Jewels now in five fixed tiers, Fusion Forge merges weapon/jewel attributes. Classic gear re-balanced.

ECONOMY & JOURNAL

New resources (Corrupted Oak, Venom Sap, Emery, Ember Glass …), recipe tweaks, Throne quest moved earlier.

V BLOOD RESHUFFLE

Levels, rewards, and unlocks shuffled—Rufus now grants the Dueling Banner, Dracula drops less fashion but more challenge.
