It seems even vampires fancy a bit of Lunar New Year cheer, as Vampir has kicked off its very first celebration. The developers have packed the schedule with thematic dungeons, a cheeky pick-a-card board, and the holy grail for any seasoned player: recovery tickets. If you have been waiting to reclaim lost gear, now is the time to pay attention. Furthermore, with the server transfer windows having passed in the second week of February, questions regarding clan migration logistics have been popping up. Let us walk you through the rules so you are prepared for the next wave.

Attention, blood kin

Lunar New Year Special Dungeon: The Forest of Silent Morning is now open

The star of this inaugural Lunar New Year event is the special dungeon, 'The Forest of Silent Morning'. It remains open until 4:59 AM on February 25, granting you a base daily allowance of 10 minutes. You can extend this stay by using time-refill stones. Your objective? Mow down monsters to collect 'Red Lunar New Year Gifts'—essentially random loot boxes—and 'Essence of Silent Morning', the currency for the event shop.

Cracking open a Red Lunar New Year Gift might net you anything from 'Ash-colored Crystals', weapon/armour/accessory fragments, and Peridot, to Artifact Enhancement Stones, Skill Book Pages, and Trinity. Spend your gathered Essence in the in-game shop before 4:59 AM on March 4 to grab goodies like 'Reinforced Night Record Boxes', 11x Summon Tickets for Appearance/Mounts IV, Evolution Stone pouches, and more.

Server shuffling now automated by tier

Vampir used to host regular live streams to announce server shuffles, but the devs have decided to expedite the process by ditching the broadcast in favour of an automated matching system. With this update, tier-based auto-matching is officially live. On the Monday at 11 AM when shuffle results apply, simply hit the matching info button in the Conquest or Gehenna pages to see how the tier-based sorting played out.

The growth content rules have been bolstered, extending the maximum stage from 5 to 6. Stage 6 unlocks once you hit level 93. If you want to dive into the nitty-gritty of engraving effects, tap the 'ⓘ' icon above the page details for a breakdown of slot tables and precise numerical ranges.

Oracle, enlighten me

Q. Do clan members also have to pay Diamonds when transferring servers?
A. They certainly do. And their consent is mandatory.

Vampir held its server transfers during the second week of February, split across two windows: February 9 at 11 AM to February 10 at 11:59 PM, and February 11 at 6 PM to February 12 at 11:59 PM. Whether for individuals or clans, the price of admission was 2,000 Diamonds. It appears server migration is becoming a staple of the experience.

A user named 'Jjeong-i-sinrang' raised a pertinent question on the forums: does every single clan member have to cough up 2,000 Diamonds? Another user, 'Isekai Electronic Cannon', clarified the mechanics: once the Clan Leader initiates the request, each member is prompted for consent. Those who agree pay the 2,000 Diamonds and move with the clan; those who refuse are booted from the roster. If you find yourself in the latter group, you will have to transfer individually and then re-apply. Keep this in mind for the next migration cycle.

This week's festivities

A flurry of events for the Lunar New Year!

Wrapping up with the latest event news: Vampir is going all-in on the Lunar New Year. Aside from the recovery ticket login bonus, everything else concludes at 4:59 AM on February 25. The 'Lunar New Year Lucky Pouch Event' is your classic tile-flipping game. Flip 25 tiles to snag rewards and rack up cumulative counts for big-ticket items like 'Sephira 11x Summon Selection Box III' and various hero-grade appearance/mount selection tickets.

You will need 'Lucky Pouch Open Tickets' to play, which you can earn via the 'Lunar New Year Mission Event'. Complete the 10 individual missions—which boil down to killing 150,000 monsters and donating to your clan 20 times—to clear the board. You get 3 tickets for the monster grind and 1 for each clan donation, with a final completion bonus of 5 tickets, totaling 25. Don't forget to grab the extra 20 tickets from the 7-day login bonus.

If you are a Vampir player, the news of recovery tickets is likely the highlight of your week. The 'Lunar New Year Recovery Ticket Attendance Event' runs for 14 days, ending at 4:59 AM on March 4, and is stuffed with 11x Summon Tickets, Evolution Stones, Trinity, and Epic Dungeon entry tickets.

The main event is the recovery tickets themselves. You will receive weapon recovery tickets on day 3, armour on day 7, accessories on day 10, and finally, accessory/sub-gear recovery on day 14. You would be mad to miss these. Note that recovery records are tied to the specific character, and recovered gear becomes character-bound. Do double-check the fine print on the official community event board.
