Once you're in, playing

POSTS: There’s no limit of the bonuses you get for what I can see, so go to the game feed and start clicking them. All the posts give you blood and experience. In the beginning, we’re more concerned about blood, so let’s go there. We have discovered that the amount of blood you receive from posts starts decreasing at some point, and it gets to 1 blood/1 exp after collecting from 30 posts. As far as I know, you still get the 1 b/e an unlimited amount of times, so if you’re almost about to level, keep going, if not, it’s your cue to stop clicking on the posts.


Note: Always type something in the posts, at least a dot, the game tends to eat all the empty posts and we all need them.


ENERGY POSTS: Our worries weren't real, you don't lose anything if you click on a friend post to help, so go ahead and help the clan, please.


How does it work: When you run out of energy doing missions, a pop up will give you the chance to post. If your friends click on that post you'll get up to 3 daily refills. There's 3 kinds of posts: 1 gives you 30 points of energy, other 70 points energy and the last one 100 points energy. You need 2 clicks for the gift to get through, and with more clicks you'll get the bigger ones.

They will go directly to your inventory, under the gifts sub-tab. When you click on the little parcel pics, the refills will go to the potions sub-tab of the inventory to ready for use. (You'll be able to see in there the size of the refill and choose the one that's better for you at the moment)




BLOOD: Blood is very important in here. Don’t forget to visit Central Park every 15 minutes and attack the silhouettes, you’ll get extra blood. Also BANK all the blood as you get it, the bank allows you to keep 500 blood without losing it to any attack and they DO NOT take away a 10% like in VW, so BANK! You can upgrade your bank by paying blood. Whenever you have blood in the bank and you chose to buy or upgrade something, the game will withdraw the blood directly from there.


Strategy: Right after collecting from wall posts bonuses and banking all you can. Once you have a nice amount of blood, you go to the slaves tab and click hunt. You'll see the minions available at your level, buy the bigger one you can. Keep on going like that: you need the blood to upgrade abilities and to health up for combat, so you need minions. (I'll explain this in the next post)You have a maximum slaves per level, be wise dominating them cos that's what you use to health up. Once you're doing better with the blood, if you have small slaves and you need better ones, you can release one of the small ones and dominate something better.

Slave Tab

  
Remember that if you don't have the blood required to buy it, the button will appear greyed up.

MISSIONS: When you first start, you have only the Convert tier open. I’d say the missions we have to concentrate at first are: ‘Taste Human Blood’, ‘Destroy a Street Gang’ and ‘Fight a Giant Rat’ for the abilities, and ‘Rob a Blood Bank’ cos it’s the one which gives more blood. Once you unlock the following tier, there are better abs in there.


Note: You can’t go the bazaar and buy abilities in this game, you have to get them doing the missions (or buying them for FB credits *winks*) The missions will eventually drop abs from the 3 types. This works different that VW, you can't unlock tiers by leveling up, you have to fight and win against the tier boss to be able to unlock the next one.

Boss Fights are tricky: They eliminated the possibility to cheat levelling up only on boss fights, you can do it only once. Other difference is that you have to wait between hits, so always check the in the missions tab I posted the requirements for the boss fight and work toward them, once you gathered everything needed, start hitting the boss each time you have energy and the timer allows you: it will take a lot of time to win and you'll have time to do the rest of the missions while you wait.

GOATBOY: Yeah, he looks kinda familiar, uh? *smirks* Well, this goatboy gives you a chance daily to open a lock, if you fail to do it, one will lock up again the next day. The chest has 7 locks, so after a week of visiting it daily, it will give you a good ability, don't forget about it. 

This is the first one I've got (base game) Then you can upgrade it stronger, I explain how in the combat post.

The filter: Very important, cos you need the posts.

Remember to always post, in this game all the posts have bonus. Also recycle the ones you get from your own friends, so all the clan can use them.

One more thing: We don't have favor points given to us each time we level up, so buying crap means you have to pay it. 

I was annoyed in the beginning about people buying abs and game stuff, but a friend made me see that this is a business, if the owners don't earn money, the game ends, so we need to keep it profitable.

We'll go through the best ways to invest in your vamp in a future post.

Now we'll move to combat and try to understand how it works and what's best for your type of game. (See Combat Post)
