Vampirism Overview

Vampirism is intended for experienced players and it requires many high level group quests to fully unlock. Once you start you also have to deal with the sun burning you. In exchange you get access to a skill with high potential for Trauma, Psychic and Darkness damage with exceptional crowd control abilities. At the moment it is possible to reverse the vampirism but this may be removed in the future.

Training Vampirism

• Truxartis inflicts this skill upon the willing after completing a couple of quests. He also provides the majority of the training up to Level 70. He can be found underneath a tower in the northeastern mountains in Vidaria
• Bendith the Banished can unlock 71-80.
• Levels 81-90 are unlocked by Reinath deep beneath Povus.
• Meghan Olliver in Statehelm unlocks levels 81-90, 91-100, and Prodigy Potential.

Unlocking Vampirism
