In V Rising Whetstones are needed if you want to craft especially powerful equipment.

How to Get Whetstone in V Rising?
You can get Whetstone in V Rising by raiding Bandit Camps. Bandits can drop Whetstone after being defeated and the chests around their camp also hold Whetstone for the taking. You can also break their structures such as barrels for hidden Whetstones.
This method of gaining Whetstone can be somewhat dependent on chance. Bandits won’t always promise a drop of Whetstone. You might find yourself a bit short of the Whetstone requirements you need to make those powerful equipment. If you’re looking for a big haul of Whetstone, then the Bandit Armory in Farebane Woods has a big haul of Whetstones.
Before you get excited and head to the Bandit Armory to give those bandits a what-for you should prepare first. The bandits in the Bandit Armory range from Level 20-30 and can give you a whooping if you’re not prepared. Quincey The Bandit King boss also guards that location and we recommend you raise your Gear Level above Level 37 if you’re planning on taking him on.
