How to speed up light day in V Rising Oakveil Update

     Daytime in V Rising can feel like the ultimate punishment for any vampire. You’re stuck inside your castle or hiding in a tiny sliver of shade, just waiting for that sweet moment when the clock hits 9 PM and the world belongs to you again. But what if you didn’t have to wait so long? What if you could make the sun rush across the sky like it's late for a blood hunt? Good news - you actually can, at least in some game modes.

 

 

 

Change day length in server settings

 

     The easiest way to speed up daylight is before you even step into the game. If you're hosting your own world or running a private server, you can mess with the Day/Night Cycle settings. Go to Advanced Settings before you launch your world and look for Day Length or Day Time Duration.

 

 

     Choose Short or even the Swedish Summer option if you’re feeling bold. This will cut down real-time daylight minutes, shrinking the window you have to hide and letting you hit the night faster. On the default Medium setting, daylight lasts around 6 minutes and 45 seconds, but on Short, it drops to about 3 minutes and 20 seconds. That’s a big win for night owls like us.

 

 

 

Use admin console to jump forward

 

     If you’re in single-player or hosting a custom game with cheats enabled, you can bend time to your will. Open the console by pressing the tilde key and type adminauth to get access. Then hit it with addtime 12 or any number of in-game hours you want to pass. Boom. You just fast-forwarded your vampire clock and dodged the sun. Use this to skip daylight entirely or just shave off a chunk if you’re stuck in a sunny patch waiting to craft that next sword.

 

 

 

Optimize daily downtime with mist and shadows

 

     Even if you can't literally make time fly, you can make it feel faster by staying productive. Drop a mist brazier wherever you need to work - it creates a cozy cloud that keeps you safe from sunburn as long as you’ve got bones to burn. Set up crafting stations under trees, build walls that cast long shadows, and never stand still in the light. That way, you’re still moving forward while the sun crawls overhead.

 

 

     As soon as you unlock stone walls and proper roofing, get that castle sealed tight. A real roof blocks sunlight completely, meaning you can work, fight, and flex inside all day without worrying about UV rays turning you into vampire dust. The sooner your base becomes a real fortress, the less you’ll even care what time of day it is.

 

 

Speed settings are your friend

 

     Another sneaky trick is to adjust the overall game speed in server settings. You can make time move faster across the board, not just for day or night. Be careful though - this also speeds up hunger, crafting, and other timers. If you want just the daylight to vanish quicker, tweaking day duration is the safer bet. But for full control, time scale is where the real juice is.

 

 

Mods can unlock faster cycles

 

     If you’re into modding, there are a few out there that let you take even more control over time. Some will let you shorten daylight even further, while others might automate time skips when conditions are met. Just be cautious and back up your world before diving into mods - it’s no fun to lose your castle to a buggy script.

 

 

Why speed up light day anyway?

 

     Look, the sun sucks. It’s bright, it hurts, and it slows everything down. If you’re just trying to grind resources, send servants on missions, or prep for a V Blood fight, waiting through daylight can feel like sitting in traffic. Speeding it up means more time for action, less time for standing around watching shadows move. It keeps the momentum going and makes the whole game feel snappier.

 

 

     Some players might scoff and say speeding up the sun takes the challenge away. But V Rising is built to be flexible. If skipping the boring parts helps you stay hooked, then go for it. You’re not cheating - you’re customizing.

 

 

When not to speed things up

 

     That said, there are moments where it’s fun to ride out the daylight. Maybe you’re planning a base expansion or farming bones for mist. Maybe you’re enjoying the tension of dodging sunlight between trees. If that’s your vibe, no need to rush it. Speed is just a tool - use it when it makes the game better for you.

 

 

 

Final note for multiplayer vampires

 

     If you're playing on a public server, your options are limited. The day cycle is shared across all players, so unless the server admin has adjusted the speed, you’ll have to deal with normal timing. That said, mist braziers, shadows, and strategic planning still apply. Play smart and the sun won’t stop you.

 

     While V Rising doesn’t let you sleep through the day like some other games, it absolutely gives you ways to make daylight feel like a minor annoyance instead of a brick wall. Master the clock, rule the night.
