    I like stage 3 for Dungeons because there is no benefit whatsoever to running them in stage 4. I usually do everything else at stage
    4, but every now and then I'll feed once before I PVP. 8-14-2016_10-30-52_AM.png?psid=1

    3 fro PVE – regen is on and it's less fire weakness (extra benefit – char looks slightly less ugly!)
    4 for PVP – mist form is cheaper and anyway it's going to bring you to 4th stage pretty fast

    ps– my ancient vamp, she's still loyal to this blessing since very first times of the game !

    Vampirism is a pain to maintain if you don't just let it stay at Stage 4. The time you stay in a previous Stage is WAY longer than it used to be, but using Vampire abilities accelerates the transition now. If you actively use Vampire abilities you will have to feed pretty darn often to keep your Stage down. I'd rather just stay at Stage 4... Dark Stalker isn't a bad thing to have at the ready :)

    I can't wait until she can wear the Tousled Bard hair style and the subtle dark eye lashes.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    They are considered facial hair, so they do! They conflict with adornments, though, so my Bosmer won't be able to wear them because she has antlers.

    Nah it's easy, and half the fun of being a vampire.

    The Deshaan Fighter's Guild is always a great choice for the Vamp on the go. There's no guards to tell you what
    you can and can't eat; and even if you feast on the entire guild, all you have to do is respe your skill points into maximum
    heat decrease and reduced bounties. Or just run the Thieves Guild Repeatables and daily quest as they both grant pardons.

    Fri_Mar_25_01-09-10_EDT_2016.png?psid=1


    I'll feed on the Hostile Dunmer right near the undaunted in mournhold on my way to pick up the pledge. The poachers in western
    wrothgar also make an excellent meal.


    I only use
    Vamp skills in Cyrodil, so I will normally just roll in stage 4 for PVP, where the stage 4 bonuses actually have some value.

    They're getting rolled out lather. Maybe September. We don't really know.

    The new appearance stuff we got was the normal hair styles, and three body tattoos, one's khajiit only, one's Argonian only, and one's for everyone else. But, these work like costume pieces, so you can stick them on and take them off at will.

    I prefer to be in stage 4 to have all the passives active and because I love using bat swarm which increases the stage timer, but recently I've been sitting at stage 2 because I still get the regen perk and it looks a lot less gross - I've mostly been questing on him recently anyway (gotta get that Explorer title!).

    Also since I made him paler through appearance change vampirism turns him white as opposed to purple, which is still a pretty big transition since he's a Redguard but it bothers me a lot less than the silly purple colour he used to be! At least he's a plausible human colour now...
