Pure Vampire Blood is not just a crafting material; it's the key to unlocking the full potential of your vampire race.

Farming Pure Vampire Blood from Vampire Lords
The primary method for acquiring Pure Vampire Blood is by defeating Vampire Lords, particularly their corrupted variants. These formidable foes are found within the vampire-infested castle area and require a strategic approach to overcome. The item itself is a rare drop, typically found within the chests that spawn after a Vampire Lord is defeated.
To initiate the process of encountering Vampire Lords, you must first progress through a series of daily quests given by NPC Dorian in the castle. This questline involves repetitive tasks that culminate in challenging boss battles.
Vampire Lord Spawning Mechanics:
- Kill 10-13 Vampire Soldiers to summon Vampire Elites.
- Defeat Vampire Elites to trigger the Vampire Lord spawn message.
- A Corrupted Vampire Lord has a higher chance of dropping valuable items, including Pure Vampire Blood.
The drop rate for Pure Vampire Blood from Vampire Lords is exceptionally low. Players should prepare for a significant grind, potentially requiring numerous kills to obtain this mythical item. Teaming up with other players is highly recommended to increase efficiency and survivability.
Corrupted Vampire Lord Strategy
Corrupted Vampire Lords are more challenging but offer a better chance at rare drops. They are identifiable by a purplish aura and different combat patterns.
| Vampire Lord Type | Appearance | Shield Mechanics | Recommended Strategy | Key Drops (Chance) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Vampire Lord | Standard | Has a shield | Straightforward combat | Pure Blood Vial, Armor |
| Corrupted Vampire Lord | Purplish Aura | No shield below 50% HP | Wall-climbing cheese, Team coordination | Pure Vampire Blood, Spear (rare) |

The Daily Quest Grind for Bloodbound Relic
While Pure Vampire Blood directly drops from Vampire Lords, there's an indirect path to advancing your vampire race through the Bloodbound Relic. This relic serves a similar purpose to multiple Pure Vampire Bloods and can be crafted after completing an extensive daily questline.
Initiate the Questline
Speak to Dorian in the Vampire Castle. The first quest requires gathering five Scarlet Lilies. These spawn randomly from any lily spot.
Defeat Vampire Foes (Daily Cycle)
Progress through daily quests that involve killing Transformed Vampire Lords, Vampire Soldiers, Vampire Elites, and finally Vampire Lords. This cycle repeats for 15 days.
Collect Quest Items
Over the 15-day period, you'll gather specific quest items like Phantom Flasks (from Vampire Soldiers), Essence Drops (from Elites), and Cursed Sigils (from Vampire Lords).
Obtain Bloodbound Relic Blueprint
Upon completing the initial stages of the questline, you will receive the Bloodbound Relic blueprint. This blueprint is essential for crafting the relic.
Craft the Bloodbound Relic
With all the necessary quest items and an Alchemy skill level of 17, visit the Pot Maker to craft the Bloodbound Relic. This relic allows you to convert to an Elder Vampire or unlock the transformed bat form.
To craft the Bloodbound Relic, your Alchemy skill must be at least level 17. Leveling Alchemy involves crafting various items, so start early if you plan to use this method for race progression.
Using Pure Vampire Blood for Race Progression
Once you have acquired Pure Vampire Blood, or the Bloodbound Relic, you can use it to upgrade your vampire race. The progression path allows you to transform from a Fletchling to a regular Vampire, and then to an Elder Vampire, each offering significant power boosts.
Race Advancement Tiers
| Race Tier | Requirements | Benefits (Example) |
|---|---|---|
| Fletchling | Initial infection (70% chance from P.V.B.) | Subpar Vampire traits |
| Vampire (Regular) | 10 Pure Vampire Bloods OR 1 Bloodbound Relic | Improved stats, passive HP regen |
| Elder Vampire | 20 Pure Vampire Bloods OR 1 Bloodbound Relic | Significant stat boosts, poison immunity, heightened senses |
| Awakened Elder Vampire | 20 Pure Vampire Bloods OR 1 Bloodbound Relic (after Elder) | Transform into bat form, infect other players |
Vampire Race Progression Checklist:
- Obtain Scarlet Affliction trait via infection (5% chance)
- Consume Pure Vampire Blood (for initial race or upgrade)
- Craft Bloodbound Relic (alternative for upgrades)
- Level Alchemy to 17 for crafting relics
- Reach Elder Vampire status for powerful abilities
- Awaken Elder Vampire for transformation and infection abilities
Consider using a Bloodbound Relic to upgrade from a regular Vampire directly to an Elder Vampire. While Fletchlings can also be upgraded, it might be more efficient to aim for a regular Vampire through infection first, then use the relic. You can only craft two Bloodbound Relics.
Infection and Race Reset Mechanics
Beyond direct consumption of Pure Vampire Blood, the game features an infection system that can initially grant you a vampire race. Understanding these mechanics is vital for aspiring vampires.
Infection Process
When bitten by a transformed Elder Vampire, there's a small chance of infection.
| Outcome | Chance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No Infection / Death | ~95% | Most common outcome |
| Lesser Vampire / Lycan | 4% | Subpar versions of races |
| Vampire / Werewolf | 1% | Legendary race tier |
| Mythic Race (Elder) | 0.1% | Rarest and most powerful initial race |
If infection is successful, you'll gain the "Scarlet Affliction" trait for 24 hours. Consuming Pure Vampire Blood while having this trait will grant you a vampire race (replacing your current one).
You can only attempt infection every 12 hours (or 6 hours with a Golden Clover Club). Be aware that there's a high chance of simply dying without getting infected.
Resetting Your Race
If you wish to reset an infection or change your race, you can use Pure Blood Vials. However, for progressing your vampire lineage, Pure Blood Vials are generally not recommended as they simply reset the infection without granting the desired racial upgrades that Pure Vampire Blood offers.
