The Dawnthorn set marks the second to the last tier of armor sets in V Rising. It is the base version of some of the best gear players can make before they take on the rest of Dracula's forces in the Ruins of Mortium, and to beat those guys, every bit of bonus stats will help a ton.

How To Craft The Dawnthorn Armor Set in V Rising

The full Dawnthorn Armor set requires two types of material: Silk and Pristine Leather. This might not seem like much, but it'll actually involve a lot more work than most players would think. Start this long crafting journey by getting the recipe from Angram the Purifier in Gloomrot South.

To get Pristine Leather, players must first beat Ben the Old Wanderer, one of the bosses in the Cursed Forest. If you're using a PvE-optimized V Rising build, he shouldn't be too hard to beat. After defeating this boss, you'll then need to combine Pristine Hide and Mutant Grease in a Tannery.

To unlock the recipe for Silk, you'll need to beat Ungora the Spider Queen, another Cursed Forest boss. Then, you have to hunt Spiderlings in order to get the Silkworms needed to make Silk. These critters can be found near Ungora's boss arena. They can also be spawned at a Vermin Nest in your base by using Mutant Grease and Fish Bones.

In total, you'll need 48 Pristine Leather and 32 Silk to craft all four pieces of the Dawnthorn armor set. However, these values may change depending on server settings and whether your Tailoring Bench is in a confined castle room with matching Tailor Floor tiles.

After you get your Dawnthorn set, you'll then be able to craft upgraded versions of it, assuming you have the recipes unlocked. Like others in the tiers that came before, the following sets can be unlocked by finding and researching recipe books:

Maleficer Scholar	+694 Max Health +4.8 Spell Power +12% Spell Critical Strike Chance	(2) Increase Spell Cooldown Recovery Rate by 8% (3) Increase Spell Leech by 6% (4) Increase Gear Level by 1.

To make any of these armor pieces, you'll need to get Primal Blood Essence in Ghost Yarn in V Rising. Each piece will consume an existing Dawnthorn armor piece, directly upgrading it into a variant that's more specialized for other physical DPS, brawling, tanking, or spellcasting.
