The moon cycle has nothing to do with infection. I've gotten like 3 vampire bites and 2 werewolf bites from the NPCs. I followed the spawn point maps a long time ago, and most of the wild spawns I found were near those. That being said, I'm sure there's tons more out there. I've seen wild werewolves literally outside my door of the forsaken stronghold.

Your best bet, if you're determined to get bit from the NPCs, is wait until it's night, and literally just run a few loops around each of the 3 infection zones. (Bangkorai, Rift, and Reapers March.) As long as people don't kill them, they stay up quite a while. I watched a group of werewolves from when it was early morning, until they despawned with it being bright and sunny out.

You just have to get hit once by them and run away. It'll say you're infected under your character sheet. Then, you have to go to your home alliance's infection zone main city to find the quest npc. He's usually lurking near town, or outside around the outskirts.

There's no real rhyme or reason to it. I've found werewolves tend to spawn much more frequently than the blood fiends.

I dont know about people saying there's no link with moon phases but...

That was what I thought, but I was very careful to follow my addon with the moon phases, and it was literally 3 hours after the new moon and there were werewolves instead. I almost bug-reported it, but I had doubts.
