V Rising Paper can be found on certain enemies or crafted at your lair if you have a Paper Press, and it's something you want to do, as Paper is integral to researching new recipes via the appropriately named research desk. You can find it fairly often early on, but for the later recipes that require more and more, a few scraps of parchment plucked from bandits in certain regions of the V Rising map isn't going to be enough, and you'll need to get more industrious about the matter. Whether you're out to craft it in great quantities or just grab a few sheets for those who can spare a square, here's how you can farm Paper in V Rising.

How to get Paper in V Rising

V Rising Paper

To get Paper in V Rising, players can find it in the world or craft it themselves. It takes quite a while before you're able to make your own, so finding it is much easier in the early hours.

Finding Paper in V Rising is most easily done by taking it off human enemies, primarily bandits, who have a small chance to drop it, along with things like V Rising Whetstones. It's also a common drop from chests, crates and barrels in bandit camps in the Farbane Woods. 

To avoid wasting time, use your map to highlight enemy camps and areas to see what they have as rewards and, if Paper is listed, clear it out and open all their storage. If you need more Paper, either head to the next encampment, or go back to your Castle to give it all time to respawn. Paper drop rates aren't high, but the general availability of this particular resource means you'll get to roll the dice many times on every raid.

To craft Paper in V Rising you'll need a Paper Press. To get one, you'll need to kill Nicholaus the Fallen, a level 37 boss who will drop the Study, which functions like your Research Table, except it requires 75 Scrolls per random study, and has a whole new set of things to uncover. If you need help finding V Rising Scrolls, check our guide on that.

However, one of the things you can get is the Paper Press for your castle. Once you have it, insert the following:

  • Plant Fibres (x4)
  • Sawdust (x12)

This will create one sheet of Paper. Put in more Sawdust and Plant Fibres, and you'll come away with whole manuscripts of the stuff (as long as you give it time to create the pages). Like all these machines in your Castle, it will require a steady fuel of V Rising Blood Essence, so make sure you have yourself topped up accordingly.

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
