Minimum level for vampire?

DigiAngel

I was trying to help someone out and give them a bite...but the option to Feed never showed. I have the skill passive unlocked, and I didn't have the notification that I'd already bitten someone. This player was level four...is that why the Feed option never showed up at the ritual site? Thank you...also, they weren't a werewolf.

TaSheen

I don't really know. But I wonder if it's min level 10 just because so much else is.

DigiAngel

That's exactly what I was thinking as well.

TaSheen

I just tried a search on UESP, and actually came up empty (searching on "Eso min level vampire"). I have a friend who has vamps; I'll ask him - may not get an answer until tomorrow - he's in another part of the world.

MrGarlic

I just bit a Level 6 character, so the minimum is at least that.

Check that your 'use synergy' is bound to a key/button

DigiAngel

Thanks..yea I didn't even get the Feed icon....least not on the people at the ritual site. I went to one of the human enemies around the area and it worked....meh..I'll try again and test thank you.

According to UESP this can happen sometimes and the player you're trying to turn needs to die and respawn before the option will appear.: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Blood_Ritual

TaSheen

My friend says he doesn't know of any minimum level, but has himself not bitten anyone that low level as the quest line might be too hard for someone so new. He also suggested the character you bit die and respawn.

DigiAngel

Welp..it's a me thing for sure...at least this one character...I can infect with my other vampires just fine, just not with my newest one...there was a stack of people at the shine...not a single one gave me the option to Feed so...maybe a bug? I even went so far as to go and die in case it was a me dying thing..no difference. Am I missing something?

freespirit

No you are not missing anything, it has been very buggy for a while.

The charcter that cannot bite atm should be ok after weekly reset, with me it usually is, however it is entirely possible next week another of your characters could become bugged!

If you're concerned about that I think it would be better to ask them if they know what it involves rather than just refuse. I have a character I turned into a vampire as soon as I could (I can't remember what level he was, but likely under level 10) but he was my 6th or 7th character and the second vampire, so being "too new" wasn't a problem.

Also like everything else in the game you're scaled up to level 50 for the quest and as far as I remember there's only a few enemies at a time. I don't think it's any more difficult than being on your own in a delve or open-world area.

Sluggy

If I recall correctly, you need to do the biting at the correct shrine for the faction. Whether it's the faction of the biter or the bitee I can't really remember.

Kiyakotari

If you have a companion on, it will bug. You have to dismiss the companion and not have any auto=re-summon addons. I always turn off my companion addons before starting the vamp quest. Otherwise, the bar bugs out.

From personal experience,

Any shrine would work

Under level 10 works too

Grizzbeorn

Were any of those people at the ritual site infected with Sanies Lupinus? (bitten by werewolf, and maybe forgot/not realized it?)
That would render you unable to feed on them at the Vamp ritual site.

That might be it.
Shrine location doesn't matter for the person being bitten, but I'm pretty sure it does matter for the biter.

I remember as an EP player a couple of years ago trying to bite someone at the Bangkorai shrine, and it wouldn't work.

DigiAngel

Huh...I didn't know about the different faction shrine...I'll try the correct faction.

DigiAngel

Guess that answers that:

https://gamepur.com/guides/where-is-the-vampire-shrine-in-the-elder-scrolls-online-answered

"For the members of the Ebonheart Pact trying to become a vampire, their ritual location is located in the Rift in The Elder Scrolls Online."

So it's alliance specific?

DigiAngel

Yea nope....chalking this up to bugged.

Grizzbeorn

You can get bitten at any of the three shrines, regardless of alliance. And when bitten, if you choose to enter the quest portal right then at the shrine, you will be able to do so. (and when you exit the portal after doing the quest, you will land at the shrine associated with your alliance, regardless of which shrine you entered the portal from.)

BUT, if, once bitten, you choose not to run the quest right then and do it later, instead, you have to go to the shrine associated with your alliance.

For the biter, it does matter where you do the biting. It must be at the shrine associated with your alliance.

Danikat

For some reason the vampire and werewolf starting quests were never updated for One Tamriel.

For players apparently the biter (but not the victim) has to be at their Alliance's shrine, then the victim has to go to their alliance's shrine to do the quest.

I've only had one of my characters turned into a vampire since One Tamriel and he was bitten by an NPC bloodfiend in Reaper's March but because he's an EP character he had to go to The Rift to start the quest. The NPC who was supposed to direct him to the shrine was not in Reaper's March and going to that shrine did nothing.

DigiAngel

Yea so I have an EB character that's attempting to bite at the ritual site in the Reach that cannot. I have two other characters from the other alliances, both of which have given bites at the same ritual site in the Reach over the last 2 days. I know this as I didn't even know there was another ritual site until today Something is wonky.

DigiAngel

Hey @ZOS_Kevin any chance we could get some clarification on:

• Minimum level for becoming a vampire
• If alliance matters (several folks as well as sites say it does, my experience is the opposite)
• If there's a minimum time for BEING a vampire before you can infect someone else (maybe my new character vampire life is too short? Just a guess...)

Thank you!

There is no Vampire Shrine in the Reach.
There are only three, and they are all in base-game zones; one in each Alliance territory.
(same situation for the werewolf shrines; three WW shrines, in the same zones as the vampire shrines.)

Do you mean the Rift?

No. That isn't a thing.

Yes. It is a thing.

You can only give bites at the shrine of your faction.
But you can receive bites at any of the shrines.

I only have 1 vampire. He is a dark elf and belongs to ebonheart.
I exclusively use the shrine at bankorai.
I believe you might be mistaken.

yeah... No.
I always play Aldmeri. I always get my bite at Bangkorai. It takes me through the mini quest and dumps me out in Reaper March. But I Never start there because its a pain to fight your way to it.

Last character i recieved vamp bite was 3 weeks ago.
Oh, and the Only shrine I have ever Given a bite to has been at Bangkorai. For the same reason as above.

You are talking about receiving bites. I said you can receive bites at any of the shrines.

If they've changed the rules for giving bites, it was changed after the last time I tried a cross-alliance bite
(an EP vamp trying to give a bite at the Bangkorai shrine, which didn't work, and it had been over a month since I gave my last bite).

It's possible that their character was also bugged.

As stated I give my bites as EP character at bankorai.

Last bite I gave was during midyear mayhem.
