| Item | Use |
|---|---|
| Lifeblood | Worth 20 blood for your blood pool. Drops more from living/animal blood targets. |
| Hematic Ichor | Worth 50 blood for your blood pool. Rarer drop. |
| Small Hate Pearls | Can be bartered for Lifeblood. Drops from all target types. |
| Large Hate Pearls | Turn in to Meghan Olliver for favor (needed for 91–100 cap unlock). Favor gain is very slow; don't sell these. Drop rate varies by target type. |

| Acur Blood | Drops from portal close events (Eltibule 1 AM, Sun Vale 3 AM) and the Statehelm Cultist Uprising (5 AM). Ingredient for Hematic Opal. |

Hematic Opal (vampirism gear gem). Recipe: 1× Acur Blood + 1× Fire Opal. Taught by Truxartis (Geology 25). Get Geology to 53 before crafting.
Small Hate Pearl and Big Hate Pearl are also craftable via Geology recipes from Truxartis (levels 55 and 60).
› Blood Oaths are slow. You earn them from completing quests and from Truxartis favor tier increases. Save at least 59 for the level 50 cap unlock and 73 for the level 60 cap unlock before spending on training.
› Sun damage. You take damage outdoors in sunlight. You can shelter in shadows; even the shadow of a tree counts. Watch your sun debuff and move between shadows to minimize exposure.
› Don't sell Large Hate Pearls. They are needed for daily quests and for turning in to Meghan Olliver for favor toward the 91–100 cap unlock.
› Geology 53. If you plan to craft vampire gems (Hematic Opal, Small/Big Hate Pearl recipes), get Geology to level 53; Truxartis teaches the recipes.
Sun damage only applies outdoors. Weather determines whether it's safe to be outside. Check Grasuul or the Weather page for the current forecast. Weather resets at 2 AM in-game time.
