The main quests for players and characters in Vampir revolve around the narrative of bloodlines, quite literally. Since the central theme is vampirism, it is impossible to ignore the significance of blood. The game is so committed to this concept that it even categorises its main questline under a thread called 'Blood Line'. But what about the community content where players forge their own tales?

In Vampir, there is a system similar to guilds in other titles: the Clan. Given the game’s obsession with blood, one might expect terms like 'Blood Oath' rather than 'Clan'. However, in Vampir, player bloodlines must be strictly distinguished, as the game lore dictates that vampire lineages are inherently separate. Nonetheless, once you dive into the clan system, you will find friendships that are arguably thicker than blood. Let us examine the details below.

'Establishment, Re-joining, and Donations': Low-barrier clan content

The first impression of a Vampir clan is surprisingly casual. Establishing a clan costs a mere 10,000 gold. Furthermore, there are no special penalties for leaving, and if you wish to join another clan, you only need to wait five minutes. Aside from the fact that a Clan Master cannot resign, there are virtually no restrictions. Thanks to this, there are plenty of open clans to join. The low entry threshold encourages a culture where players are invited to join freely.

Once you have found a clan to settle into within this open environment, it is time to contribute. After 24 hours of membership, three types of clan donations become available: Gold, Trinity, and Diamond. The choice of which donation to prioritise depends entirely on the clan’s goals and your own personal preferences.

Donating Gold is the least burdensome option, though it holds the lowest value. Conversely, Diamond donations are essentially tailored for clans aiming for the top tier. Donors receive Clan Coins proportional to the currency value, while the clan gains experience points. Since the gap in rewards between currencies is quite significant, the pressure of donations is left to the clan's discretion. If the clan desires the fastest growth, prioritise Diamond donations.

Exclusive benefits earned only through clan donations! 'Clan Coin Shop'

Clans that minimise the burden of activities will likely lean towards Gold donations. In this case, each member provides 3,000 clan experience points, and members collect 750 Clan Coins daily. These accumulated coins can be exchanged for useful items at the Clan Coin Shop found in every village.

The most essential items for early growth are the 'Lord Portrait Restorer' and 'Artifact Enhancement Stone'. You can purchase up to 100 of each per week, costing 35 and 25 Clan Coins respectively. Purchasing both every week requires 6,000 Clan Coins. Even with maximum Gold donations, you will fall 750 coins short. If you want to maximise your purchases, consider mixing in some Trinity donations or compromising on the quantity.

If you have a surplus of Clan Coins or find yourself with more breathing room, purchasing the 'Appearance 11x Summon Ticket III (Character)' is a solid choice. This item allows you to obtain 11 appearances ranging from Normal to Hero grade based on set probabilities. Since character stats are most influential during the early growth phase, it is worth testing your luck here. Even if you do not land a Hero grade, the lower-grade appearances can be used for synthesis.

Keep in mind that some items reset monthly. Exchanging for Rare and Hero mount summon tickets costs 75,000 and 750,000 Clan Coins, respectively. If you are aiming for these high-value items, you will need to plan for a more long-term strategy involving Diamond donations.

'Crypts, Missions, and Skirmishes' require the combined efforts of clan members

As you raise your clan level through donations, Crypts are unlocked one by one. Categorised into Attack, Defence, Accuracy, and Evasion, these Crypts provide additional stats to all clan members based on their themes. The system unlocks these bonuses by summing up the RP (Season Ranking Points) of the clan members stationed in each Crypt.

Currently, seasonal rankings in Vampir are divided into 'Summon, Subjugation, Black Market, and Enhancement', with only the 'Integrated' ranking providing RP. Reaching 1st place grants the title of 'Duke' and 400 RP. The lowest ranking range that provides RP is 51st to 500th, which awards 10 RP.

Upon reaching clan level 30, the clan dungeon cooperative content, 'Mission', is unlocked. Members can team up to clear dungeons and reap rewards. Individual rewards include Portrait Restorers, Clan Coins, and Gold. Clan rewards often include Hero-grade equipment that is hard to obtain elsewhere, which is then stored in the clan vault for management or distribution.

A pre-season for the 'Skirmish' event, boasting a prize pool of 5 million Diamonds, is scheduled for September 27. Based on pre-launch information, server-specific clan qualifiers will be held to determine representatives who will then battle it out in the Skirmish. In essence, Skirmish is the endgame content for clans. Therefore, focus your efforts on growing your clan before the event begins and prepare to challenge the pre-season.
