Path of the Vampire forum

A new relic has been unlocked by the community, and added to the game. The relic is Cloak of Anonymity, which decreases your notoriety three times as fast each day. This item is available in the magic shops for $175,000.

The community relic unlock cap has also been decreased by half, to 50 karma. This will be available to contribute towards each month, as usual.

A new relic has been unlocked by the community and added today.

"Broker's Medallion: Gives between 1% and 6% interest on bank balance at the start of each month. Incrementally a smaller percentage the higher your balance, to a maximum profit of $25,000."

Essentially, if you have less than $50,000 in the bank, you'll receive 6% interest, and if you have over $1 million, you'll receive only 1% interest. This is a sliding scale, so you'll get 3% interest for a balance of $400,000, and so on. For the most part this will mean most established characters will only receive 1% interest with a cap of $25,000 per month, which means this relic is more useful for characters trying to amount a decent sum of money.

You'll need that money for the forthcoming updates!

The relic can be found by fighting enemies. Almost any enemy, but it is very rare!

NPC levels are now visible when you fight them in "full reports" mode. This is paving the way for more global loot and end game loot updates, and we also hope it will make the game more accessible to newbies.

Small update today: you can now re-join your original lineage (any of them, including bloodline or original clan), even if your sire disenthralled from their sire, or similar. To do so just use a disenthrallment ritual and type in the name of the bloodline / clan you wish to re-pledge yourself to. This update was done with 'slave Dave' Patreon hours, thanks to PsychoCliff.

Hunter's Charms now sell at the magic shop for $800 or 1 karma

Game-wide XP, energy, and loot boost modifiers are now half price across the board. This includes pooled karma goals.

Spirit flame mines have been added as a craftable trap. This is a level 14 trap which causes dexterity (-6) and blood (-1) damage to both physical and incorporeal beings, including wraiths. This was added mostly as a small counter to the forthcoming shadow mastery power.

I've added a new ritual, "Clemency". This ritual causes witnesses to forgive or forget the target's recent crimes, reducing their notoriety by 4 points. No tome is needed to use this ritual.

"INFINITE energy until the end of the hour! Have fun!"

This covers every single in-game action, so nothing will cost you energy.

Infinite energy hours have an average spawn rate of twice a week for now, but this will become once a week in future. This can happen at any time and is determined by a random automated roll, so everyone has an equal chance of being online when one of these hours happen.

Until further notice, no more "slave hours" will be added from karma purchases. You may still buy karma as you like, but I won't be able to add more work hours to the pool just yet.

This is because I'm expecting to start work soon, so I need to clear the hours I have first (there's also another 12 owed to somebody), and I'm concerned I might not have time to even get through these by the end of the month.
