V Rising Stone Bricks are made using a Grinder, a special piece of equipment you can construct in your castle. It's supposed to be used to destroy objects and break them down into their constituent components. However it can also be used to create Stone Bricks as part of that process, which can then be used to build superior walls and constructions. 

Stone Bricks become a priority not long into the game, probably a little after making V Rising leather, and you'll be using them for a long time. So we've got all the details below about how you can get Stone Bricks in V Rising, how to get a Grinder set up in your castle, and how you can also get Stone Dust in the process, another vital resource.

How to craft Stone Bricks and Stone Dust in V Rising

To get Stone Bricks and Stone Dust in V Rising, players need one specific tool - a Grinder. These can be built in your Castle from the Refinement part of the Build menu, using these specialised materials: 

  • Whetstones (4)
  • Copper Ingots (4)
  • Planks (8)

Not all of these are easily obtained initially. We've covered how to get V Rising Whetstones, but Copper Ingots will require a Furnace and the Planks will require the Sawmill - and all of these need to be powered by Blood Essence, of course. 

Once a Grinder is build make sure that you have enough Blood Essence to keep it running, and select it with the F button. The Grinder has multiple "recipes" but the first one will be the option to place Rocks. For every 12 Rocks that go in the Grinder you can get back one Stone Brick and one pile of Stone Dust. Just make sure you have the V Rising Blood Essence to fuel it!

Both of these items are useful in their own ways. As outlined in the guide mentioned earlier, Stone Dust can be used to make Whetstones, while Stone Bricks can be used to create walls and floors for more reinforced structures and even ceilings to create life-preserving shadow in your own castle, though you'll need some V Rising Iron to go with it.
