Updated on July 15, 2024 by M. Salman Shahid: V Rising has seen a full release, meaning there are many changes that players may not know about. Keeping this in mind, this guide will reflect those changes, specifically adding more value in regard to how players can keep their repair costs low.

How to Repair Gear in V Rising

To repair gear in V Rising, players must follow these instructions after gathering the required resources:

Access the Character menu by pressing Tab on the keyboard.
Select the Equipment tab if it does not open by default.
Select the gear in need of repairs.
Hold down the scroll wheel on the mouse to repair the gear using the required resources.

Players cannot repair gear in V Rising without the required resources.

It is worth noting the status of the gear can be identified by the color of the indicator that appears at the bottom of the screen on top of the player’s HP. A yellow or orange indicator will pop up when an item needs repairs.

Yellow Indicator – The item has taken considerable damage.
Orange Indicator – The item has lost all its durability and will break down, requiring immediate repairs.

Gathering Resources to Repair Gear in V Rising

Typically, repairing an item in V Rising will require half the resources needed to craft a new one. For instance, if crafting an item requires 10 Copper, it will cost 5 Copper to repair it instead.

Most resources used while crafting an item will be required during repairs, although previously used armor or tools will not have to be crafted again.

How to Keep Repair Costs Low

The cost of repairing gear will skyrocket as the player progresses in V Rising. The good news is there is a workaround to solve this problem. For instance, a broken weapon can be used to farm. Players can continue collecting resources using the broken weapon until they have enough to repair other gear. This simple method will allow players to recover the costs of repairing other gear they normally use during combat.

Keep an eye on the gear icon at the bottom of the screen when accessing the character menu. This icon represents which gear is in need of repairs. So, if your gear is in need of repairs, do not wait for it to break down completely. Maintaining your gear will be cheaper than repairing it from scratch. Do not spend your valuable resources repairing every generic item you come across. Focus on getting better items that are worth fixing. Otherwise, save up and get a new gear instead.
