What is the fastest way to lvl up Vampire?
Questing and EXP farming (such as killing Dungeon/Dolmen/Group bosses.) The Vampire skill tree levels up through gaining EXP, much like Racial Skill lines.

Hey, Deltia! Big fan of yours – always consume every video you upload.
I know that you’re big on vampires, but don’t prefer to tank as one (for obvious reasons). I personally would be interested to see one in action, since I’m tanking as one. A bit more effort, but tanking a no death Vcoa (and maybe hard mode on the same run) is a very rewarding feeling, for the whole team. I usually try to put the stakes even higher, and tank it as Stage 4. Here’s how:
I’m running as a dunmer nightblade. My front bar is defensive (sword & board):
1. Swallow Soul
(bigger heal, but the key here is the healing received)
2. Defensive Stance
(dmg midigation/block cost + reflect those fire bolts!)
3. Immovable Brute
(reduced cc-break cost, but more importantly armor and spell resistance)
4. Ransack
(taunt, more armor)
5. Leeching Strikes
(resources, double bar!)
Ulti = Veil of Blades
(Use this for damage reduction, but I like the extra damage for various reasons.)
Back bar is more offensive, flame destro:
1. Mass Hysteria/Mark
(CC, snare and minor maim / resistance debuff – mainly boss fights, morph you pick doesn’t really matter)
2. Refreshing Path
(this the corner stone of hc-vampire tanking as a NB: getting that shadow barrier; but also bringing some group utility: minor healing, more movement speed – but it’s also an aoe-dot which is also useful. Why?*)
3. Impulse (Fire ring, on my case) / double take
(Again, fire ring for another aoe-dot / double take for boss fights – mainly Vcoa daedroth, Ash titan and Skoria)
4. Shadow Image
(‘cos Shades bro… But really, comes in handy on many boss fight. Mainly use it for that Minor Maim, but also teleporting comes in handy on many boss fights)
5. Leeching Strikes (double bar)
Ulti = Soul Tether
(The reason why I went soul tether instead of bats, is because it gives a burst heal and it’s an aoe-dot-hot – and it stuns. I just run into the biggest group of mobs I can find and POW!)
Why I run so many aoe dots*, is because I use two pieces of Nerien’eth (partly, for the looks). While I maintain a constant dot of some form, that lich crystal will pop all day, every day. And looks very intimidating, at the same time! You could use Engine Guardian for extra survivability, but with my current gear and CP – there’s very little need.
Gearwise, I’m basically midigating damage and focusing full-on resistance, spell and armor:
5 footman’s (neck, rings, chest, boots)
3 whitestrake (hands, legs, belt)
2 death’s wind (mace and shield)
1 master flame destro / nirhoned (when I eventually get one…)
Sry for the long post – but had to share. Fun way to tank, and very challenging. Very hard. But that’s what attracted me to it the first place: It’s something that not a lot of people are willing to do, and when you master it – you feel like a pro while doing it. Have put over 1k hrs to this char, and still loving every minute on it.
Anyway, cheers!
Hey Deltia- not sure if you know this, but I have been trying to figure out how the vampire passives affect shields. I know resistances don`t affect shields, however, does the vampire weakness to fire affect shields, i.e. do they take 50% more damage? If so does the undead passive affect them if you are low on health and your shields take less damage? Would have a huge impact on playing w/ classes like sorc/templar as vampire.
Hi Deltia,
I got vampirism at level and 27 and have been grinding day and night to level it up. I am now lv.41 and level 9 vampire and have all the passives but have not been able to morph my mist and bat sworm ultimate. I have all the vampire skills on my bar (not sure if it helps). Any tips or ideas to get these to morph faster?
Thanks
First off, thank you for the work you have put into this website and your YouTube vides, both are among my top resources when I seek ESO info. I have a dunmer sorc that Is a vampire. I am at V1 and have been more pve oriented but pvp is becoming more of interest. Because of the Dunmer flame resistance, my profile says I only take 25% more flame damage which could be offset more with an enchant. It doesn’t seem accurate though. I love 2 of the Vamp skills..Bat Swarm and Mist. I like mist better than boundless form but I am not sure it’s the best choice overall. I am trying to create a build that is balanced enough for pve and pvp. Time for new gear. Health recovery is a priority. Used Magnus and Torugs mix 4light/3heavy. This time I thought 5 pieces Julianos and everything else Vamps Kiss for HR and health boost. I use destruct/resto staff now but thought about dual wielding. Do you feel the Vamp skill line is beneficial enough to keep for pvp? ior is a more standard build a bit better suited? If I keep the Vampire skills, in pvp, it seems to me a restor staff a better choice than dual wield and a solid source for the hit in health recovery…without sacrificing magicika and its recovery.. O.o.. Thoughts, experiences, ideas? Thanks and happy hunting!
On a sorc? no, unless you’re playing very large groups. You have escape, resources, and good PvP ults.
Hey Deltia,
I try to get a vampire but everytime it is night and i cant find the npcs that can bite me…i read so many about it but i am still confused. Some say it needs to be new moon/blood moon others say the moon phase doesnt matter at all … Last saturday (2 days ago) players told me that werewolves had spawned.
Is it possible to calculate when vampires will spawn with this information???
Would really appreciate a little tip from you.
I’m not sure if it helps but I got vampirism from another player. Go to the vampire shrine and there will be tons of players around, someone will probably help you.
