Is Lamae's White worth leveling Vamp?

Blinx · August 2021

Have all whites except Julianos & Lamae's, is Lamae's worth leveling the skill? also how easy/hard is it to level the skill?
Original intention was to get infected to obtain the black, mission accomplished, but if it's truly hard to get infected as some have said maybe I should level it up before hanging up my fangs?

It’s the third most bright and clean white, behind Marble and Julianos (which is my fave). If you think that marble is too bright but birch is too dusty (and the others too blue) then it will be worth it for you.

Also, go to Craglorn and jump in a normal AA pug. 30-min of your life for one of the coolest dyes.

Edited to correct the name of Julianos White

It's not hard to level up, just slot some skills, it levels with XP.
Also, it's not hard to get infected - just a shout-out in zone chat or guilds and usually a player is available for a bite - just never pay for one, it's a scam.

You don’t even have to slot skills, it levels with character XP, and it levels faster than ever before. I remember it used to be a real grind to get to level 10 vamp, last time I did it it happened in a weekend of regular playing, no focused xp grind.

Lamae's White is pretty good and I used to use it. It's like Julianos White but a tad different. Makes for a great silver on certain materials.

I never use it, its wayyyy to bright for my taste.

Blinx · August 2021

according to Reverb it's less bright than marble, so I'm going for it,.
also got infectted within the span of a few hours, might not be so lucky if I want to go for the white at a later time

thanks all

since it is so unpredictable how colors will show on certain materials, it is a good idea to have a few alternatives for each color available. So yes, get it.

Levelling vamp is not hard as it levels with xp. So slot the skills and go your preferred xp grinding route.

If you want to just check it out and have a PC account, you can also hop on the PTS just for some fashion scrolls. I've seen some great things that I wouldn't normally have thought to do there.

ESO MMO fashion also has pictures of all the dyes on the Breton light/med/heavy gear so you can see how each color looks, and what kind of a sheen it has. There are some deceptive materials (the Dreadhorn gear in particular dyes terribly), but for the most part this gives a good idea of how it'll look on basic cloth/leather/metal

As previously mentioned, Vamp is absurdly easy to max. To put it another way, it's as hard to max as it is to clear the initial quest. It's a shadow of what it once was.

The dye is well worth it.

I was using Lamae on imperial outfit and it was looking good. Now i am using Marble but honestly, it is worth to level and compare.

You don't even need to slot the skills. Slotting vampire abilities does not help you level the skill line faster, it gets a full share of your incoming XP.

thx for the info. That's pretty sweet, and good to know. I never noticed it, bc when I was levelling the skill line, I also levelled vamp skills anyway.

They actually do as of the vampire rework. ZOS decided to make it so that slotting vampire abilities lets you level it up even faster!

Oh, neat... let me check.

*Checks*

Tooltip says it does. But the API shows no difference.

Well, RIP that, I guess.

EDIT: Did some more testing, can confirm, you do not earn more Vampire experience for having the abilities slotted. The tooltip is incorrect.
