Vampire question (another one..)

I have seen people asking/paying for a vampire bite and i thought i undrestood why. I mean it seemed obvious :)
That was until i did a bit of googleing and found out that one needs to additionally complete a level 40 quest. Apparently. No way near that level, cannot know.
So i started wondering why a low level would want to pay 10grand for a bite if so.

Can you level the passives before even taking that quest? Is that why?

    lots of classes are able to complete the quest at low level, it involve killing 10 vampire level 40, not that hard.
    10k for a bite seem pretty high as a price.

    Easy quest and getting bitten early means level 10 vamp that much earlier. I imagine prices are going up due to the Dye color.. Just a guess.

    thank you all three for replying :)

    as it is possible i phrased this wrongly, let me ask again:

    can one level the vampire passives -prior- to doing that quest?

    No, the quest is required in order to fully unlock vamp.
    Edit: If I remember correctly.

    That is correct, liquid. You can't level the passives unless you've completed the quest. You aren't *actually* a vampire until you've done the quest.

    I've seen it done on YouTube as low as level 10; my husband competed it at level 17 as an Imperial DK.

    You can take the mobs 1 at a time through the quest, so it isn't really that difficult.....

    10k seems pretty unreasonable at this stage in the game, though, even with spiffy dyes attached to that achievement...

    Hell, I've had trouble even just giving my bite away.

    No problem at all. I would bite you as well, but I am not into that sort of thing.. to often.

    Why would prices rise? is there a color for being vampire?

    You're welcome. I believe anyone can do it if they are patient and determined enough. Starting out as a vampire, even with just the drain ability, will definitely give you an edge. ;)

    Those who sell their bites to new players tend to omit the crucial fact that one must defeat 10 level 42 mobs to actually become a vampire. While it is possible to do the quest as soon as you leave Coldharbour, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a new player to do so.

    I completed the quest at level 7 just to see if I could. However, it was on my third alt, I was quite familiar with the game controls, skills, and mechanics. Even then, it was time consuming and there was practically no margin for error.

    I bit a lvl 8 that finished the quest a few weeks ago. Not sure why bite prices are increasing. I always bite for free and always have trouble giving it away. I've tried to bite for two days now and they would rather PAY for it than get a free one. Trust me the paid bite isn't any sweeter than my bite AND you still have money in the bank! LOL! :)

    The first time I bit someone it was probably a month after launch, and I did it for 8k since that is what they offered. Even at the time I thought it was a little high.

    Since then I regularly bite for free, or maybe for 2-4k depending what others are offering. But that is only if I notice someone asking when I happen to be on one of my vamp crafters.

    I should probably be more diligent about it. After all, our matron did charge us with bringing new children into the fold. The "for fun and profit" part I suppose just goes without saying. :P

    It is my understanding that there is a dye unlock for being a vamp. One of the black dyes.

    lol, I really hope not, that would be ridiculous.

    I received my bite about level 20 and wouldn't recommend getting it before that; you can finish the quest to complete becoming a Vampire prior to the recommended level if you are patient.

    I wrote an article here that has tips on finishing the quest at a low level.
    Baskin Robbins always finds out.

    Especially when there are guilds that'll do it for free and advertise themselves as such.
