'Vampir's main quest will lead you to the Poenari Citadel, from where your successor will push north. The Pierced Plains that sprawl before you are a curious mix of cathedral grandeur and lush, fertile farmland. This serves as your hunting ground from level 48 to 63, with the entrance to the next field, the Black Woodland, being the main stage for this batch of Vampir Tips. As before, we’re hunting down collection items to boost your base stats—Normal Attack, Normal Damage, and Normal Accuracy. I've mapped out the recommended collections, following up on our work in the Dawn Road region.

Q. Which collections are a must-have for the 48–55 level range?
A. I’d suggest the 'Lost Farmland' for that sweet Critical Damage boost.

Your trek from the entrance of the Pierced Plains to the Cathedral begins at the level 48 field, 'Gruesome Frontline Hill.' To max out your recommended stats here, you'll need to gather 100 collection items, taking you all the way through to the level 55 'Lost Farmland.' It’s a clean 100-item haul, split into requirements of 20 and 80 respectively.

Since the fields are largely segmented by level, it’s best to shift your hunting grounds accordingly. If you’re not fussed about the stats on offer—specifically at the level 49 'Covenant Foothills' and the level 53 'Paladin Outpost'—feel free to skip them. These provide 3 Skill Accuracy and 6 Skill Damage. If those stats are actually vital for your build, though, be sure to look beyond what’s marked on the map.

The level 55 'Lost Farmland' is the only spot in this section offering Critical Damage. Snag 100 'Clear Spring Water' items, and you’ll net a +12 boost to your Critical Damage. It’s a universally solid firepower upgrade without the usual 'Normal Monster' restrictions, so don't leave home without it.

Q. Are there any fields I can safely ignore?
A. You can safely lower your priority for the 56–59 level range.

Once you move past the level 56 'Dried Wheat Field' and head toward the Cathedral, there isn't much worth collecting until you hit the level 60 'Cathedral West.' Most items here focus on Defense. If you have time to kill, the 57–59 range offers some decent boosts to Max HP, Max MP, and Weight Limit, but they’re hardly essential.

The 'Pierced Target' collection item from Cathedral West is a different story; it grants a bonus to Normal Attack. You can stack up to 10 points here, and much like the Critical Damage boost I mentioned earlier, it’s a versatile stat you really shouldn't pass up.

Furthermore, the level 63 'Profane Garden' also dishes out 10 Normal Attack. Unlike other spots, the collection requirements are split into 10 and 60, making it a much lighter lift. If you’ve got the inventory space, grabbing an extra 40 items for 3 Skill Accuracy isn't a bad shout, either.

Q. Should I keep collecting once I move past the Pierced Plains?
A. Absolutely. The higher the level, the better the stats—it’s a no-brainer.

The Black Woodland begins at the level 64 field, 'Grey Stump.' As you'd expect, the higher field levels come with much better stat payoffs. Since you'll be looking to balance Attack/Accuracy and Damage/Accuracy simultaneously, be prepared for some heavy lifting—many of these fields require gathering up to 210 items.

The level 65 'Traveler’s Rest' provides both Normal Monster Attack and Accuracy. You'll need a total of 210 items gathered via tiers of 10, 40, 60, and 100. I’d recommend the same for the Heretic’s Altar and the Heretic’s Clearing. The former focuses on Normal Monster Accuracy and Damage, while the latter targets Normal Damage and Critical Damage.

Just a heads up: every field in the 64–69 range of the Black Woodland entrance offers worthwhile stats. If you want the most efficient path, hit the level 67 'Burnt Forest'—gathering 70 'Man-eating Monster Slime' items will net you 6 Normal Accuracy. It’s the perfect balance of cost-effectiveness and utility.
