Summary
Getting the best jewelry inV Risingis what separates the middle and endgame experiences. For much of the game, these beautiful rings and necklaces act as accessories to the rest of the gear, working alongside them but not standing out. But after about gear level 22 and theBlood Merlot amulet, these pieces become non-negotiable.
But Stunlock Studios, the developers of the game, provides various amulets that suit differing player builds. One player can optimize for cooldown reduction, while another can instead focus on weapon attack speed. Despite the large diversity in build and play styles, there is still something of a consensus as to the strongest jewelry inV Rising.
Updated on July 17th, 2024, by Juliet Childers:The Gloomrot expansion and full release of V Rising did more than just add a few new pieces of gear. Old pieces already in existence received changes to their statistics and even better items have been introduced into the game. As a result, this entire list had to be redone to factor in new pieces that deserved to be here and change or drop the pieces that were no longer good enough. Find the best jewelry in V Rising at the end of this list. Any non-endgame artifacts have been removed to make way for the only pieces of jewelry that players should plan on getting toward the end of their journey. Depending on build and play strategies, some end-game jewelry may work better for some players than others.
11Amulet Of The Blademaster
Great For Melee Focused Builds
Although it might be at the bottom of the list, theAmulet of the Blademasteris still one of the best amulets available and may be suitable for a very particular build. The 7% attack speed greatly helps slower weapons complete their full combos more quickly. For Maces and Reapers, this means less timehealing upand more time battling. The extra critical strike chance is also nothing to sneeze at, and it has good synergy with the Chaos spell tree.
10Amulet Of The Master Spellweaver
A Flexible Amulet That Doesn’t Deliver As Much As Other Amulets
While not every build will make the most of theAmulet of the Master Spellweaver, the ones that do will give themselves an edge in both PvE and PvP. Getting abilities back 8% quicker means always finishing cooldowns before opponents do.
Veteran players undoubtedly have noticed that some bosses are even carefully designed around that 8-second ability timer on weapon abilities. When a player can get two rounds in a window vs. just one with other builds, the value of this amulet becomes evident. The Phantom Aegis passive means that players canspec into the Illusion Magic spell tree, but there is a ton of flexibility with this particular piece of jewelry inV Rising.
9Amulet Of The Arch-Warlock
Frost (And Crit) Mages Rejoice
This piece used to have a cooldown reduction, which made it more powerful, though it’s still not half bad. A confident spellcaster who can avoid attacks might actually find this to be the preferable option in PvE. Their critical hits will start to instantly kill enemies that would have lived before using theAmulet of the Arch-Warlock. Pair it with one ofthe best weapons in the gameto help out with movement and dodging blows, and opt for spells in the Frost category for crowd control and shielding.
Crafting Requirements
8Amulet Of The Unyielding Charger
5% movement speed may not sound like a big deal, but this is often the difference between life or death in PvP. PvE players may also appreciate the help getting across the map more quickly or outrunning enemies they don’t wish to engage with. The blood reduction rate also lets them gather resources, raid villages, and dungeon crawl for longer. The Skeleton Warrior passive means that theAmulet of the Unyielding Chargergels well with a build using the Unholy spell tree.
Use one ofthe best armor sets in the gameto get a great PvP build going or use it in PvE for highly mobile loadouts.
7Amulet Of The Crimson Commander
Drain Foes And Keep Yourself Undead
Spellcasters shouldn’t have all the fun when it comes to sucking back health. With extra physical power, players get damage boosts and a higher percentage of health gained back, too. It’s great to get both buffs on the same piece. If players forget torepair equipmentand get in danger, some savvy maneuvering with the Slasher weapons can be just the ticket with theAmulet of the Crimson Commanderequipped. Go invisible, deal some damage, and fade away again to gain health until getting back home. Like the Amulet of the Wicked Prophet, Blood magic can pair well with this, as well as Frost, Chaos, and Storm abilities.
6Amulet Of The Wicked Prophet
Burst Damage, Life Leech, & AoE — Oh My!
Spell life leech is mandatory in a game that does everything it can to whittle down player health. Paired with agreat spell loadoutfocusing on burst damage, players can enter boss fights, get banged up, and leave at full health as though nothing happened, but this item should not be considered for use by casters only. Players who deal primarily melee damage will often find themselves taking unavoidable hits in combat. TheAmulet of the Wicked Prophetallows that player to heal back whatever damage they received while trading blows. Naturally, that means that this amulet pairs well with spells in the Blood magic category.
5Blood Key
A Progression Stepping Stone With Very Specific Stats
Apart from the four end-game amulets, theBlood Keyis one of the last amulets a player can get. The item can only be made after slaying Lord Styx the Night Champion, a level 83V Blood targetfound in Gloomrot near Dracula’s Demise.
Players can justifiably prefer the other items on this list, since there are no bonus statistics that truly affect combat apart from the raw spell power. It is the first piece of jewelry inV Risingthat requires the player to getStygian Shards from Rift Incursionsthough. 200 might sound like a ton, but players can loot them in The Ruins of Mortium, get them through combat, and by destroying the crystals in that area. In PvP, the Blood Key mostly serves as a stepping stone to get the end-game amulets.
4Soul Shard Of Solarus
Players can obtain theSoul Shard of Solarusby defeating Solarus the Immaculate – anendgame boss at level 86in the Fortress of Light in Silverlight Hills. As with all the unique amulets, this provides a special ultimate ability called Summon Fallen Angel. It summons a fallen angel (of course) that fights for 15 seconds, inflicting Condemn with every attack. This might not sound like that useful of an ultimate, but if a player is running an Unholy skill build, those Condemn stacks can really…well, stack. Additionally, players can exploit the cooldown reduction.
3Soul Shard Of The Winged Horror
Who Knew Dracula Was A Pet Person?
To get their hands on this amulet, players must defeat Talzur the Winged Horror – Dracula’s pet turned monster – who can only bereached by bat form. Taking down Talzur gets the player the unique ultimate Voidquake Vortex that lets the player blink from one location to another, creating an explosion that deals 400% magic damage, pulls enemies in toward it, and imparts the Ignite status. The raw power of this ability pairs well with theSouls Shard of the Winged Horror’sadditional critical chance for spells, so players should focus on cooldown reduction and spell crit chance in their build.
2Soul Shard Of The Monster
Transform Into The Ultimate Weapon
Taking out Gloomrot’s ultimate boss, Adam the Firstborn, nets the player theSoul Shard of the Monster,and the special ultimate, Eye of the Storm. A part of the Chaos magic spell tree, this ultimate knocks enemies back while also producing a thunderstorm. The bolts hit the surrounding area for 100% magic damage and impart the Static status for 5 seconds. In that time, the lightning strikes about 37 times, so stacking other Chaos abilities helps players get the most out of this amulet and ability. It also works very well for players who favor an in-your-face, bruiser play style.
