It seems 'Vampire' has been rather busy lately, hasn't it? Following the Chuseok event in early October, the team has now launched a 50-day anniversary celebration. It is a clear strategy to ensure the momentum of these events remains unbroken since the game's initial launch.

Enjoying the festivities is all well and good, but the real trick is turning these events into a tangible advantage. As the event patterns for 'Vampire' are starting to settle, I have compiled a guide on how to maximize your rewards and acquisition strategies.

Q. They are handing out hero-grade weapons, so is there really a point in crafting T3 or T4 rare weapons?
A. You still need to complete your collections, mate!

It has already been 50 days since 'Vampire' officially launched. You should have had plenty of time to clear the 'Hero's Pledge Mission Event' that accompanied the release, even if you are a casual player. The core of the event is simple: complete tasks to earn points and hit milestones for special rewards. The guaranteed hero-grade blood appearance, mount, and T1 weapon are quite handy.

The real dilemma arises with T3 and T4 rare weapons. Since the game hands out a T1 rare weapon early on and T2 variants are easily found in dungeons or crafted, these middle-tier items seem redundant. However, they are worth crafting simply to fill your collection and boost those stats.

The bottleneck for crafting these items usually involves Trinity and Blue Magic Crystals. The latter is crafted using 10 Shards of Blue Magic, obtained by dismantling rare gear. Since you can farm Trinity in much the same way, the strategy is consistent: run dungeons, hoard as much gear as possible, and multitask between collection building and dismantling. If you get a lucky enhancement, use it; if it fails, you are still left with the necessary crafting materials. If you have already finished the relevant collection, just dismantle them or dump them on the exchange.

Keep an eye on the black market items, as high-tier rare gear pops up there occasionally. I recommend planning your crafting and collection goals on a weekly basis, checking the black market list every Monday before you commit.

Q. Among the new items in the shop, what is worth spending on?
A. Focus your attention on the Sephira Reinforcement Pack and the Poame's Secret Chip Pouch for now.

On October 15, 'Vampire' rolled out special shop items in the 'Exchange - Diamond' tab to mark the 50-day milestone and the 3rd week of the regular league battles. If you are wondering how to spend your hard-earned diamonds, let me break it down for you.

If you are not into PVP or prefer to stay free-to-play, stick to the Sephira Reinforcement Pack or the Poame's Secret Chip Pouch. The Gehenna Magic Reinforcement Pack is specifically for the PVP crowd, as it contains materials for magic infusion focused on combat stats—hardly a priority for those who prefer pure PvE farming.

That leaves you with two paths: beef up your Sephira or aim for rewards in 'Poame's Secret Lounge.' The latter is a bingo-style event that requires Poame's Secret Chips to flip tiles.

You should note two things here. First, the 'Vampire's 50-Day Banquet Special Attendance' event grants you 15 secret chips over seven days. Second, the Poame's Secret Lounge rewards are cumulative. By using those 15 chips from attendance, you hit the 15-draw milestone for a Refined Serum Bundle. If you push for 5 more, you secure an 11-draw choice ticket for special appearances or mounts. Plan your diamond budget accordingly. Most of these 50-day events conclude on October 29 at 5:00 AM.

Following the trend from Chuseok, these items are purchasable with diamonds that can be farmed in-game. The value proposition is decent, so if this keeps up, free diamond farming will become increasingly important. Don't slack off—make sure you hit that weekly cap of 1,000 free diamonds to stay prepared for future offers.

Q. Is there anything else I should know about the 50-day event?
A. Make sure you use your extra dungeon time wisely.

The 'Vampire's 50-Day Banquet Bonus Time' event wraps up a bit earlier, on October 22 at 5:00 AM. This is crucial because dungeons are your primary source for the Trinity and Blue Magic Crystals needed for your collections. The Ancient Workshop is particularly generous with finished rare gear. Ensure you are burning that extra time to farm tokens and gear effectively.

Usually, you will end up with heaps of crafting materials like shards and ash crystals. Unless you have a specific project in mind, use these for collection registrations or exchange them for dark merchant coins to boost your stats.

Don't be afraid to be a bit reckless with rare gear you find. High-level enhancements are great if they succeed, but if they break, you are just left with more Trinity. Always weigh the odds of selling versus using the item for your collection. Click here to find out how to spot high-demand items on the market.
