Vampirism not leveled on template characters

First, please remove the automatic Lycanthropy from template characters. I understand that this is the Werewolf patch, but please, it takes 5 seconds to purchase the skill line from the Crown Store. I don't want to have to go cure Lycanthropy on all of my template characters.
Second, and I don't believe this was the case in the prior PTS patch version, but as of today, when I create a new Template character ... after curing Lycanthropy and then purchasing the Vampirism skill line from the Crown Store, my Vampire skill level is 1. This was not the case in prior PTS revisions, where Vampire (like all other skill lines) was completely leveled upon purchasing.
Many (most?) end game player use Vampirism for the +10% mag/stam recovery, so not having this available out of the box hinders testing.

@Astrid_V interesting, that's new, in the past when you purchased the skill line it was already leveled. I didn't see anything in the patch notes about this new item.
No need to be a prick about it.4 -

Regardless, it was has not been necessary to use said item on a fresh template character for quite some time, at least since Morrowind, because the skill line was maxed as soon as you unlocked it, just like every other skill line in the game is maxed out on a template character as soon as you unlock it. Perhaps the item was necessary before, when template characters did not come out of the box with all skill lines leveled.Edited by LiquidPony on July 20, 2018 3:10PM0 -

It's not blindness. The containers are, unfortunately, a bit cumbersome to sort through, and even experienced players who don't spend a lot of time on PTS Template builds have difficulty with them. Even knowing the template system, I still have issues with this, personally.3 -

And even players who do spend a lot of time using PTS Template characters (like me, because I was a console player until recently and the only way I could test on PTS was with template characters) may not be aware of every last bit of stuff included in some box within a box within a box.
And regardless, I don't think the existence of the consumable necessarily means this isn't an issue. Vampirism should be max level when you unlock the skill line, just like all other skill lines. Just a few weeks ago, Vampirism was maxed on unlock and it is not now.1 -

I don't see it, either. It's not in the Pouch of Progression Purveyance, the Tester's Lunch Box, or anywhere in the Consumables container as far as I can see. I emptied them all out rather than just looking through the boxes, since sometimes there's stuff in them that doesn't show up unless you take it all.
I do remember the Vampire Maxer item from back before skill lines were all leveled out of the box, but I don't recall where it was located and I can't find it now. Which is not to say it isn't there, but the location isn't obvious if it is.0 -

✭✭The Vampire/Werewolf maxing items were removed when they started having the lines fully leveled by default. Meaning that it is a bug, and thus needs to be fixed.2 -

Unfortunately Zos tends to not change the template in the middle of a PTS cycle. Some of us may remember when the template was always behind on CP.0 -

✭✭✭Fastest way to level Vampirism after curing is to grab a bunch of Alchemy/Enchanting Master Writs out of the template bag (and install the WritWorthy addon), pop a 150% XP booster, complete about 25-30 writs and then turn them all on. Should get Vampire leveled enough to get the +10% regen bonus and only takes 5-10 minutes.
Still a bit of a pain. Not sure why this is still an issue 3+ months later.2 -
An_An✭✭✭I just discovered this issue today myself.
Wanted to test out a vampire but had to cure the lycanthropy which came by default (why?). Next, I bought vampirism from the store for 1 crown.
Turns out vampire was at level 1. Came to this thread and spent hours searching for this magic “Vampire leveling ambrosia” mentioned here , but can’t find it in any of the boxes.
Could someone please fix this by maxing out the disease skill lines beforehand ? On live if you cure the disease and reacquire it later you retain the disease level you had earlier. And of course please remove the default lycanthropy, anyone can get those skills in 30 sec from the crown store.
Or if someone can carefully point out which box is that vampire maxer in, it’d be most appreciated.Edited by An_An on November 1, 2018 5:51AM0 -

✭I found this very frustrating when making my NB build but on the plus side it gave me a chance to run through public dungeons testing different skills to help level it lol.
Overall this does need fixing so vamp setups are easier to make and test.Edited by OneKhajiitCrimeWave on November 1, 2018 2:18PMDark Flare is the Beginning, Radiant is the End. Hail the Light Bringers!0
