This week, all eyes in Vampir are glued to the new 'Bloodline Evolution' growth content. It’s the perfect excuse to pump up your character’s stats, and the user forums are currently flooded with players sharing their evolution success stories. Meanwhile, the comments section is buzzing with questions about sub-character synergy—a topic that never seems to lose its flavor. For those of you scratching your heads, I’ve tidied up the answers below.

New growth content: Bloodline Evolution update

Let’s take a peek at the November 5th Vampir patch notes. The game has introduced 'Bloodline Evolution,' unlocked once you hit level 62. By burning Evolution Stones, you can net yourself permanent stat boosts. You can snag these stones from Epic Dungeons, Gehenna bosses, or world bosses—or just buy them from the shop. For those who had already blown through their dungeon entries that week, the dev team retroactively dished out the stones.

Think of Bloodline Evolution as a bit of a bingo game. You perform cell evolutions row by row, which grows random cells. Land on the same cell multiple times, and the level goes up. Complete a full row of cells, and you unlock the assigned completion bonus. Keep in mind, you can reset the cells using Diamonds if things go south. For the full, nitty-gritty rules, check the official Vampir community update board.

Don't forget the Bloodline and Gehenna Sector 2 shops

The story-driven 'Bloodline' content has received its 8th dungeon, 'Memories of the Forgotten Ruins.' You can dive into this once you’ve cleared the main quest 'Kissel 216. To the Sands of the Shroud' and the Bloodline stage 'Memories of the White Sand Plains.' The loot? A tidy 25,000 Eternal Coins, 5,000 Trinity, 600,000 Gold, a 'Skillbook: Steel Heart (Class),' and one 'Fragment of Forgotten Ruins,' plus a hefty chunk of XP.

Gehenna Sector 2 has seen the addition of general merchants at each starting point. Check the images below for their exact locations; they stock the same items you'd find in town. Other minor adjustments include syncing the monster visibility range on the minimap with the hostile player visibility range, and renaming the 'Summon' tab in the shop to 'Special Summon'.

Ask the Oracle

Q. Do main and sub-characters share progress?
A. Only to a certain extent.

User 'Oo돗대oO' is weighing up the pros and cons of creating a sub-character and wanted to know if things like disciplines or portraits are shared. The short answer is: don't hold your breath. Appearances, mounts, collections, storage, and Diamonds are shared, but the portrait you’re asking about? That’s a fresh investment. Also, the storage only allows you to shuffle tradeable items between characters on the same server.

Q. Where did my Gold-bought summon tickets go?
A. They are used automatically upon purchase.

User '믿음소망사랑' was frantically searching their bag for summon tickets they’d just bought with Gold, eventually filing a 'missing person' report on the forums. The mystery was solved by user '좀딸,' who pointed out that Gold summon tickets don't clutter up your inventory—they are used the second you buy them. '믿음소망사랑' confirmed the goods were applied and sent their thanks.

This week's festivities

It’s boiling over this week!

The theme this week in Vampir is 'Boiling Blood.' We’ve got two events sharing this title. First is the 'Boiling Blood, Bloodline Evolution Event.' You have 8 missions to tackle, including clearing 48 daily quests and burning 50 Evolution Stones. Rewards include Evolution Stone Pouches, gear crafting material boxes, and 'Blood Banquet.' The deadline is November 19 at 4:59 AM.

The second event, 'Boiling Blood, Daily Combat Support Reward!', runs until midnight on November 12. Over five days, you’ll get 10 'XP Recovery Tickets (Event)' every 24 hours. These will be waiting in your mailbox until November 12 at 4:59 AM, and the tickets themselves will expire on November 16 at the same time.
