V Rising: Servant Gear Cost Calculator
Servants only read gear level - so max-gearing them is pure logistics. Pick how many servants you are gearing to level 91 and get the complete bill: what to craft, what to farm, and what to just loot instead, down to the last pollen.
Loot instead of craft - checked items land on the farm list with where to get them (uncheck to see the true craft-everything cost)

Why "just craft it" explodes
The servant loadout looks tame until you expand it. Four Dracula pieces need 144 Pristine Leather - that is 2,880 Mutant Grease and 2,880 Pristine Hide if you craft every one. The Ghost Yarn chain wants Wool Thread at 48 Pollen each; crafted Cloth walks down the leather chain to 16 Rugged Hide per Leather; a single Whetstone eats 144 Stone. This calculator reproduces the totals the community spreadsheet verified by hand, then does what a spreadsheet cannot: lets you toggle each item between "craft it" and "loot it" and watch the bill collapse to the realistic farm.
Blood quality does not change any of this - it sets expertise (half the blood percent), which scales hunt proficiency on top of gear level. Gear the roster once, then feed it diverse blood types: same-type hunt perks do not stack.

FAQ
What exactly is the gear level 91 servant loadout?
An Epic (or Legendary - same gear level) Ancestral weapon at 30, any four Dracula's set pieces at 9 each - Shadow, Grim, Dread and Maleficer variants all cost the same, pick any - and gear level 25 jewelry. The Blood Key is the cheapest repeatable 25; the six Tier 8 amulets tie it. Soul Shards also count 25 but are unique boss drops, not craftable.
Is the Ancestral weapon worth it for servants?
It is +4 gear level over a Sanguine (30 vs 26), and the shard is a 5% drop from level 79+ V Bloods or 1,500 Greater Stygian Shards at the Mortium merchant. For hunt-proficiency breakpoints those 4 levels are 40 proficiency - use the weapon dropdown to see both bills and decide per servant.
Where do the blood essence numbers come from?
The loadout embeds 9 Primal Blood Essence (armour tiers, the Dark Silver weapon and the Blood Key). On the essence route that is 72 Greater Blood Essence = 14,400 raw Blood Essence per servant; on the hearts route it collapses to 36 Exquisite Hearts. The toggle switches the whole chain, matching how people actually play (V Blood hunting yields hearts anyway).
Does this include hunt planning?
No - this page is the gearing bill. Blood type and mission planning are a different problem; the short version is in the blood note above: diversify types, maximize quality.
