To procure a reliable source of a flora-based resource in V Rising, Vampire adventurers can plant Seeds within their Castle Heart's Territory.
During a player's travels through Vardoran in V Rising, they will eventually stumble upon various Seeds, items that can be used to cultivate renewable resources. Similar to the real world, Seeds in Vardoran can be planted into the soil to grow a specific type of flora. Such flora includes Cotton, Blood Rose, and the highly valuable Highland Lotus. Therefore, knowing how to plant Seeds and methods of Seed procurement in V Rising is essential for the efficient production of plant-based resources.
To get started, Vampires of V Rising should enter Build Mode and ensure the spot where they wish to plant the Seed is part of their Castle Heart's Territory. If this is not the case, select the "Fundamentals" tab and place down a Border in the desired location. Next, put the Seed into the Action Bar and press the corresponding key to plant the Seed. The plant resource will take multiple in-game hours to grow, so players should perform other tasks while waiting. Once the plant is ready to be harvested, Vampires can use a melee strike to gather the resources. Unlike flora found in the open world, the plants within a Castle offer an endless supply of materials.

It should be noted that players can also plant on Seeds Garden Flooring in V Rising if they wish to give their Castle garden a more decorative feel. Currently, Garden Floors do not provide any gameplay benefits except for cosmetic pleasure. Nevertheless, those who wish to use this Flooring can unlock its Blueprint by consuming the V Blood of Polora the Feywalker, a Level 34 boss found in the Gleaming Meadows of Farbane Woods.
The next step for effective gardening in V Rising is understanding where Seeds come from and how to procure more. Seeds can appear as loot from any crate or container found throughout the world. These Seeds will likely be correlated to plants that grow in the region. For example, it is not feasible to find Ghost Shroom Seeds in Farbane Woods. Additionally, players can increase their chances of finding specific Seeds by searching and gathering the areas near village farms, such as the Cottom Farms of Dunley Farmlands. V Blood Carriers in V Rising also have a slight chance to drop Seeds for farming.
Another way to procure Seeds in V Rising is by doing business with the NPC Merchants of Vardoran. These NPCs include Gavyn the Shady Dealer, Berk the Traveling Trader, and Ottar the Merchant. Bear in mind that players must be in Human Form and have Silver Coins to purchase items. Human Form is a Vampire Power unlocked by slaying Beatrice the Tailor in Dawnbreak Village.
