Vampire Immortality​

  • Vampires do not immediately die from certain damage sources, instead they go into a down-but-not-out (DBNO) state where they can still be hit, but are ignored by mobs
  • After some regeneration (timeout) phase, they can choose to resurrect. Alternatively, they can always decide to die and respawn instead
  • After resurrecting vampires are weakened and instantly die when they are killed again in the next few minutes (neonatal effect)
  • While DBNO vampire can be immediately finished using vampire killing weapons like stake, holy water or fire

Vampire Accessories​

  • Vampires can now equip accessories (ring, amulet and obi belt) which give buffs (and debuffs) and can even modify certain skills
  • There are many different effects and combinations of effects and you can try to collect the perfect set of ring, amulet and obi belt
  • In total there are much more than 100.000 possible combinations, even though many are similar.
  • Accessories cannot be unequipped and are destroyed if another is equipped in the same slots
  • Upon respawning (after death) accessories take a random amount of damage and eventually break
