Ever wanted to be a creature of the night? In Elder Scrolls Online, you can! You can become a powerful vampire. It all starts with a trip to a special place. It's called a Vampire Shrine.
Think of it as your spooky initiation spot. It's where the transformation begins. Ready to embrace the shadows?
Finding Your Dark Destiny
So, where are these Vampire Shrines hiding? They aren't exactly advertised on the town notice boards. Instead, they're tucked away in specific zones.
Look for them in Bangkorai (Daggerfall Covenant), The Rift (Ebonheart Pact), or Reaper's March (Aldmeri Dominion). These are the hot spots for catching the Sanguinare Vampiris disease. This disease will make you into a vampire!
You won't just stumble upon them, usually. You'll need to get bitten by a specific enemy. These are usually the Bloodfiends that lurk in these areas. Keep an eye out for them! Or you can get a player vampire to bite you at the shrine.
The Biting Truth: Becoming a Vampire
Okay, you've found a Bloodfiend and let it nibble on your neck. Congratulations! You've contracted Sanguinare Vampiris. Don't panic! This is all part of the plan.
Now, you have a choice. You can cure yourself at a temple. Or... you can embrace the darkness! If you choose the latter, head to the Vampire Shrine in the zone.
There, you can begin the questline to fully become a vampire. Get ready for some spooky fun! This involves doing some quests. It’s worth it!
Why Be a Vampire in ESO?
Why go through all this trouble? Well, being a vampire in ESO is seriously awesome! You get access to a whole new skill line. Think of cool abilities and powers.
You’ll be able to drain enemies’ life force. You can turn invisible. You can even move at super speed! Sounds tempting, right?
Plus, let's be honest, it's just plain cool. Who doesn't want to roleplay as a mysterious, powerful vampire? You can stalk the night with an evil grin!
Embrace the Perks (and the Quirks)
Being a vampire isn’t all sunshine and roses, or should I say, moonlight and roses? There are some drawbacks. You’ll be more vulnerable to fire.
Some NPCs might react differently to you. It adds another layer of gameplay! It can make things more interesting.
However, the advantages usually outweigh the disadvantages. Especially if you build your character around your vampiric powers! With the new changes to vampirism you don't have to worry about fire as much!
The Social Scene: Vampire Edition
There's a whole community of vampires in ESO. Some players even specialize in giving other players the Sanguinare Vampiris bite. It's like a dark, shadowy social club!
You can find these "bite sellers" in zone chat. Or look for vampire guilds. Some guilds focus solely on vampires. It is very fun to participate and connect!
Just remember to be respectful and follow the community's rules. It's all about having fun and embracing your inner monster!
