Vampire/werewolf becoming one

Dovahkiin804

I'm a level 45 high elf on Xbox one. I am looking at to become a vampire or a werewolf can you be both? Do you lose any of your abilities or skills? And do you have to feed to keep your vampire and werewolf skills after a kill?

You can become both. However, you cannot be both at the same time.

If you become a vampire first, then cure vampirism, you can then become a werewolf. You would lose access to your prior vampire abilities but not the experience gained in the skills.

One thing is deciding on which is more fun or better and earn xps faster

Caution - I keep hearing the skill points spent are not refunded when you cure your affliction, so if you do want to try those... do a skill respec before curing, remove all skill points, -then- cure your vampirism/lycantropy to try the other.


Anyhow, it works like this...
...you find one of the infectous bloodfiends/werewolves that only appear at certain nights in the rift/bangkorai/reapers march, let them damage you, and infect you. Next wayshrine you should get a visit from someone, and then can either go get cured, or go find the special place where you can do your introductionary quest to truly become a bloodsucking fiend or part-time furry.
...
...or you can bypass all of that and buy it in the crown store.

In either case, you don't loose anything, you just gain a new skill line you will need to spend skill points in. There are some drawbacks (like vampires are more vulvnerable to fire and don't heal like mortals, while werewolves are affected by poison and have the whole "must transform to use their abilities" thing against them). The feeding is not required to keep your new skills, but has other mechanics. For vampires, its to control your stage... well fed lower stages have lesser drawbacks, but also lesser benefits, starved higher stages the opposite. And werewolves can add to their transformation duration by feeding on corpses... though they keep fiddling with things, so... all info subject to change if/when they decide to redo some mechanic.

In the next update they will refund your skill points if vampirism or werewolf is cured.
Yes, it's retroactive, so you'll see your points refunded if you've cured it in the past.

Oh, neat. Well past time they chenged that one, as I mentioned, I heard many a tale of woe from someone who stumbled over that when they found their vampirism not to their liking or something of the sort... and then had to get vamped all over again to finally be able to remove the "misplaced" skill points and such.

Now, if only they could also add a function to "cure" the mandatory TG membership for those who merely visit Abahs landing to grab some skyshards... I really would prefer my "honest" characters not to have that one

I just became a werewolf so where is a werewolf shrine if another player wants a bite not sure how to do that I'm sure I be asked. I had left over crowns to spear on a werewolf bite it was simple.

There is a werewolf passive you need to put a skill point into, i believe it is called "bloodmoon". If you have it, you can bite another player once a week, at the werewolf shrine, provided they are not a vampire (or infected by one). Simply have them face the shrine, stand behind them, and activate the synergy prompt you get. They get knocked down, and then start the quest.

I haven't had a quest when I got it from the crown store maybe I have to reach a certain werewolf level

Gythral

Have to be level 6 in Werewolf/Vampire and put a point in the passive, after that you can bite someone once per week at the relevant shrine

Dovahkiin804

Yea someone was asking for it while I was at the shrine I was in my werewolf form but anyways now I know they were a level 5 player probably way to low

Sorry, i meant *he* can start the quest to become a werewolf after you bite him. You don't need any quests to bite him, just be a werewolf with the bloodmoon passive(also, you must not have bitten any other players in the past week).

The level of the player who you want to bite does not matter. He just must not be a vampire(or having been bitten by one).

Player level is not relevant any more (if it ever was, as the quest was level 15 but many did it at lower levels)

only the skilline level matters to have access to put a point in the passive skill to convert other players

I have seen I can fight bosses better then in regular form werewolf does alot more damage to things like Giants and mammoths I'm not sure the ranking on the bosses and what they mean like it will show 1 to 4 on there health bars. I need to take the time and read up in the bosses and levels they have. What I do is just go out and level up and do quest, I really don't read about the different kinds of things about the game I just play.
