V Rising: The 1.0 Transformation & Transition Guide
The **1.0 Full Release** of V Rising was more than just a patch; it was a total engine and world overhaul. This update introduced the final chapter of the vampire saga, including the direct confrontation with **Dracula**, a revamped spell progression system, and significant server-side optimizations that changed how data is stored.
1. The mandatory Wipe
Because the map geometry was altered to include the new Ruins of Mortium biome, saves from the Early Access (v0.x) period are incompatible with 1.0 and must be wiped to start fresh.
2. New Spell Mastery
Spells are no longer just unlocked via V-Blood; you can now find and craft Jewels that modify spell behavior, allowing for deep "Class-like" specialization for the first time.
3. Dynamic World Events
V Rising 1.0 introduced dynamic rift incursions in Mortium. These events require players to work together (or compete) to close portals and harvest Greater Stigma.
Transitioning Your Server to 1.0
If you have an older server, follow these steps to move to the 1.0 build:
- Navigate to the Supercraft Panel and Stop your server.
- (Optional) Download a backup of your old save via the File Manager if you wish to preserve a "Legacy" copy locally.
- Click the Wipe button in the Server Management tab. This clears the incompatible v0.7 map data.
- Update the server executable by clicking Update.
- Restart the server. The new 1.0 world will generate automatically, including the Ruins of Mortium.
Key 1.0 Features at a Glance
| Feature | Impact on Gameplay |
|---|---|
| Castle Management | You can now "teleport" your entire castle to a new plot using the Castle Heart relocation tool. |
| Endgame Boss: Dracula | The final challenge. Requires high-tier Shadow-infused weaponry to even enter the throne room. |
| Enhanced Graphics | New lighting engine and character animations make combat feel significantly more fluid. |
| Gamepad Support | Native support for controllers, making "Vampire on the couch" a reality. |
Note: If you created your server *after* May 2024, you are already on the 1.0 build and do not need to perform a wipe. This guide is specifically for returning players from the Early Access era.
