Lycanthropy and Vampirism (In progress) Update 2 -4/2/14-

DragonMother

I'm in no rush for it myself, but my gaming partner is looking for a way to become one, as well as a couple friends on the side that have not made their appearance on the forums yet. It'll be fun really.

KkaosReinz

Keep up the good work Draconythe! As soon as I get to level, I'll be more than willing to help out also

Great thread sharing information will defintiely bring us all closer to our goals

been scouting reapers march in AD with a few fellow guild members for days now to find bloodfiends during nights, but so far we only found a steaming pile of nothing....unbelievable huge area that one hopefully we will have a breakthrough sooner rather than later

What is this mournhold quest? I've completed all the quests that i could find in that zone and none of them contained werewolves.

Also saw 2 bloodfiends spawn during a Dolmen in shadowfen but they died within seconds with everyone wailing on them, so i cant say they would have been capable of infecting.

I honestly like information about this getting out. Many ppl are gonna rush and try to be in the first pack to be a werewolf or vampire, but it is gonna die down eventually.

And when the law system is added, i am betting ZOS is gonna have NPCs cracking down on more than pilfering a few item. My gut says weres and vamps are gonna be more difficult to play and most who rushed to become one 'just cause' will regret it and if a cure isn't readily available, will end up rerolling.

Law system? Sorry was at work till now. Can you please go more in depth about this system and your views.

Once the server comes back up @Draconythe I'd like to try and see if my better part of the gaming pair would like to go for the werewolf chain or not. I know he's mentioned he liked the idea but was uncertain how to go about it.

Find me ingame in a few hours and I will love to have you 2 run the test for me. Both your levels and builds will be just fine for it.

Stuff like this is what I need to know, in a few hours when I get ingame the team I have in reapers march for AD, I will ask them what the report is. As far as I know they did confirm Bloodfiend in it after searching for hours but there were also many other mobs along side of them. (Different vampires and many undead) the team was a level 33 and level 13 so they were not able to get close without using guerrilla warfare. By the time they made it near the Bloodfiend dawn broke and it disappeared they stated. While waiting for it to respawn the server went down.

Area he said was Misty/foggy at night and it had a creepy look to it with undead and vamps. I will get ahold of him ingame later for more info.

Keep in mind you need to take about 4+ hits from them to contract the disease. I heard a rumor that even if you die you can still retain the disease.

You can get cured if you don't like it.

Before the infections take root, no doubt. But after the quest to finalize the turn as well?

Any information on Werewolves? if they're perhaps surrounded by regular wolves, or if the atmosphere is different or anything?

This is a good question that I will look into later on unless anyone has any info on it.

It was discussed in a dev interview by Eurogamer with Maria Aliprando. Its from September of '13 and was pretty informative.

Here is the link

I misnamed it earlier, but the Justice System sounds pretty sweet. With it planned to be added along with the Thieve's Guild and Dark Brotherhood, i can imagine it will have some interesting mechanics. The whole interview is nice, but the Justice System bit is ~6:10 i think.

I have a question about them spawning.... when you guys found them were they already there or did they drop from a mini portal like vampire assassins and sorcerers do? I am in the Ebonheart Pact and was at The Rift and searched all night (gametime) and didn't find any werewolves or bloodfiends and was wondering if they will already be there or do they come from portals or are they summoned from certain enemies?

Smayes97_ESO

I have been searching all over Mournhold for the Werewolf invasion quest but i cant find it. any information on where it is exactly or is it only available during a full moon?

Report was they were already there and the vampire you need is Bloodfiend (Also heard about a feral vampire but it is unknown)

Unknown at this time, I have not been on all day so the 3 people working on it for me have not been able to update me yet, but hopefully they will be on when I get on.

I'm seconding this question. Do they randomly spawn, or are there certain fixed areas where they can spawn?

DragonMother

Currently searching during night-hour in game would help out a great deal folks, info is awesome to have.

Fixed zones s far but so far it looks like they randomly switch between vamps and werewolfs

Azurand

Awesome stuff Draconythe.

To anyone wishing to join the Elder Wolves to help us search, feel free to whisper to me or use mail when it gets re-instated.

Hellsgrim

Also The EU server for Ebonheart Pact I have a guild thats regularly searching for Bloodfiend and werewolf locations.
<The Lusty Argonian Maids>

Let me know in game if you want an invite @Hellsgrim

WraithAzraiel

I've seen lvl23 Bloodfiend in Grahtwood - poked them a few times but no virus. will keep looking

wow thats interesting, hopefully you can find out the approximate location of that spawn, and me and fellow guild members will be sure to check it out and report if we find anything.

Laplace

I saw a foggy area in Reaper's March near Fort Sphinxmoth, south of the Anchor near it. I couldn't get close enough before dawn to confirm it, though.

DragonMother

Anyone spotting locations for spawning Elder wolves and Bloodfiends in Stonefalls, or near Mournhold, please give us an idea of moon cycle and time found, thank you.

WraithAzraiel

camping out near Fort Sphinxmoth on my nightblade - but it's mid-morning in game - no fog no undead, just scorpions and imps and the Dark Anchor mobs

About how long does it take RL timewise from dawn to nightfall in game?

Laplace

@WraithAzraiel, I was told it's about 2.5-3 hours. I could be wrong.

A little over 5 real life hours i believe.

I know what your talking about, On release day anyone who tried fishing had that same message. Sorry but you do not have Lycanthropy

Thanks for that info. Mildly embarrassing but hey. At the very least it made me realize that becoming a Lycanthrope was possible. I'll be looking out for suspicious wolves and interesting quests from here on out. I love the attention to detail and mystery of it.

emilseedb16_ESO

I found some level 9 Werewolves in Glenumbra (near the middle - east), and I was wondering if anyone got any luck with being infected by them?
