So I am very curious about becoming a werewolf or vampire and I know the moon has be a certain way for each, like blood moon and new moon I think? I really don't know anything about this and I've asked in game with no luck. So when can I expect each of these to occur? Once a day, once a week? Is it planned, like every day at 7 or every monday? I really want to be a werewolf on my current guy and I ventured into the rift, but was told I couldn't do it yet. Thanks.

    New Moon = Vampires

    Full Moon = Werewolves.

    The Moons are on a cycle. A full cycle is 8 Real Life days. You have about 1.5 Real Life days to find yourself bitten once a New Moon/Full Moon starts. After that you will have to wait another 8 days before getting another opportunity.

    Alright, thank you. So how will I know when it really is a full moon and not just almost full? Or is it completely obvious?

    The Moon Cycles are based on the tides. You can see the tides at the Riften Docks. The height of the water on the steps leading into the water will determine what moon cycle is next. If its 1 step high then its Blood Moon, All the way to the top and its Full Moon. You can check every day as soon as daylight hits.

    This has been confirmed by multiple people who are already wolves and vamps. Its the easiest way to tell whats coming next. Also we have found Vamps and Weres can spawn inside Riften. We have had 2 people bitten out near the docks as well.

    Good luck and happy hunting.

    Knifeintheribs just wait till the full moon. Probably today or tomorrow I think. Don't give anybody money.

    Dont bother... People will kill the werewolves and vampires before you can be infected. Such an awesome community.

    The last crescent of the moon was 16 hours ago. Come back now expecting to find a new moon and it is on the first moon crescent. Yet the last full moon lasted ages! It's just random and frustrating!

    Deleted 'cause I just realized that some noob necro'd a year old thread and the person I was making fun of posted over a year ago. :D
