Dominate Human

## Overview

**Dominate Human** is a Vampire Power that allows you to charm human targets and convert them into loyal Servants or Prisoners.

To successfully charm a target for conversion to a Servant or Prisoner, you must first reduce their health below 30%, activate **Dominate Human**, and channel the **Dominate Human Spell** (default key R) to dominate the target. The target may still attack during the channel.

Once a target is dominated / charmed they will enter a neutral, dormant state where their attacks are disabled, but they can still take damage from enemies. In this state they're able to be placed in a Servant Coffin or imprisoned. The newly introduced consumable Dusk Caller allows for the target to be teleported safely to an empty Prison Cell.

The conversion process into a Servant costs 100 Blood Essence and takes 40 minutes in real time.

While a target is charmed, the **Dominate Human Spell** will be replaced by the **Release Target** ability, killing the target instantly upon release.

### Limitations

* While the power is active, your equipped spells will be replaced with either **Dominate Human Spell** or **Release Target** depending on the if you have / have not charmed a human respectively. Your Travel & Ultimate abilities can still be used.
* You cannot use other Vampire Powers while **Dominate Human** is active.
* You cannot travel through a Waygate while a target is charmed. However, horse riding / usage of caves is still an option (Followers warp to your side if you close doors, or run very fast)
* Only non-V Blood Human targets can be dominated / charmed.
* Despite losing his V Blood type during daytime, Willfred the Village Elder still cannot be dominated.
* A dominated werewolf (as human) will turn back into a werewolf at night. Previously this would cause them to escape, but with the Gloomrot expansion they now remain imprisoned, and retain their blood quality, allowing their creature blood to be drained.

## Strategy

It is best to clear out nearby enemies prior to charming a target. This is to ensure that you will not be interrupted while channeling this ability, and will also have an easier time escorting your charmed human back to your base. It will also be good idea to bring along a Horse, in order to reduce the amount of travelling time.
Discharge

## Jewel Modifiers

 Trigger to travel a second time after first travel.

Blood

> *"You will slowly lose health and ultimately perish if you run out of blood."*
>
>

Blood is a key resource in V Rising.

Feeding on a blood-carrying target (victim) will refill the player's blood pool and change their blood type (Creature, Rogue, Warrior, etc.). Each blood type grants different passive bonuses.

Victims have different blood quality percentages. Higher blood quality levels give stronger bonuses. The 5 individual tiers of Blood Pool powers are unlocked at different percentage levels. For example: tier IV Blood Pool powers will not be unlocked by a 15% quality victim.

The player's blood pool drains slowly over time, as well as on dealing & taking damage. It has a 10 litre capacity. Drainage can be temporarily paused whilst sleeping in a Coffin however. Nevertheless, the same Blood Pool cannot be "refilled" by any means. Therefore the player must continuously find new victims lest they run out of blood.

Once the player unlocks Prison Cells, they can charm and capture victims with Dominate Human.
This allows the player to indefinitely drain their blood into Empty Glass Bottles,
creating Blood Potions the player can drink to maintain a specific blood type & quality.

## Blood Types & Quality

**Threshold percentages**:

Blood Quality % required to unlock each Tier

**I**: 1%

**II**: 30%

**III**: 60%

**IV**: 90%

**V**: 100%

**Ranges**:

For example, Warrior Blood provides 10-20% Increased Physical Power starting at Tier "**I**".

This bonus maxes out at 100% Blood Quality, rather than at the end of Tier I:

* 1% Blood Quality => 10% Increased Physical Power
* 30% Blood Quality => 13% Increased Physical Power
* 50% Blood Quality => 15% Increased Physical Power
* 99% Blood Quality => 20% Increased Physical Power
* 100% Blood Quality => 26% Increased Physical Power (final bonus, effect boosted by 30%)

### Detecting Blood Types

    Mouse over a victim to display the blood type and blood quality percentage.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Tristan the Vampire Hunter, they will unlock the Blood Hunger ability. Blood Hunger places the player in a blood detection mode, displaying the blood type icon and percentage over all victims' heads, instead of needing to mouse over.

## Consumables

The player can consume items such as Rats and Tainted Hearts to restore a small amount of their blood pool, at the cost of losing any blood type bonuses.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Vincent the Frostbringer, they will unlock Prison Cells. Using the Dominate Human Vampire Power allows the player to imprison high-quality human victims and repeatedly extract Blood Potions or Blood Merlots from them. Allowing for a consistent supply of high quality blood.

## Servants

Servants increase in power and effectiveness with blood quality level. For more info see Servants.
Death Knight

## Overview

Added in Gloomrot update, Unholy Magic Abilities apply **Condemn**. This spell was reworked from Spectral Assassin, changing it from Illusion Magic Spellbook to be a Unholy Magic Spellbook.

Castle Heart

### Description

*The Heart of your domain. As long as it contains Blood Essence it will power your castle and keep it from decaying. You can expand your territory with borders and floors originating from the heart. If the heart is destroyed your entire castle crumbles.*

### Dimensions

1x1

The **Castle Heart** is an essential structure that powers all your castle's structures and defenses. It can only be built on territorial land, and in so doing claiming the entire territory as your own.

Castle Hearts require upkeep in the form of Blood Essence.

It will remain powered for 24 hours per 180 Blood Essence.
 Running out of blood essence causes your territory and its structures to decay, pausing their functioning until it's refilled.

The castle heart is required to be built on the ground floor, but it does not need to be placed inside the castle you eventually build. As you build your castle, your initial flooring tiles must be connected to it. Once the tiles are in place, additional structures may be built on top of them. Enclosing those floor tiles with walls, doors or windows will generate a roof.

When moving the Castle Heart, all Border tiles must somehow connect to the new Castle Heart location.

## Upgrades

Your Castle Heart can be upgraded to increase its max Border tile capacity, its Servant count and its castle power slots.

* Upgrading the Castle Heart to Level 2 will unlock Stone Wall & Flooring in the foundations building menu.
* Upgrading the Castle Heart to Level 4 will unlock the Dominate Mount Vampire Power.
* Upgrading the Castle Heart to Level 5 will unlock The Eye of Twilight in the dominance building menu.

## Castle Heart Actions

Rivaling castles may either have their **defenses disabled**, **destroyed** or **claimed** with **1**, **1** or **3** **Castle Keys** respectively by interacting with their Castle Heart. (the latter two options are a Merciless PvP Setting only)
However, the castle must have first been *breached* by a Siege Golem or be in *decay* from running out of Blood Essence before hostile actions can be taken.

When a castle is claimed, every structure will be transferred to the claimant, including Prisoners & Servants.
The type of key required must correspond to the level of the Heart attempting to be accessed.
 For example, a Golden Castle Key can only access level 4 / 5 Castle Hearts, not level 3s.

On PvE servers, even though there's no threat of raiding, castles may still be destroyed if in decay.

Finally, a Castle Heart may be voluntarily **Exposed** for 5 minutes, allowing for transfer of ownership.

It should be noted that everything mentioned above is server-specific.

Cursed Forest

The Cursed Forest is located at the top right of the map, to the northeast of the Dunley Farmlands, east of Gloomrot South and north of Hallowed Mountains.

This region is a great place to gather some of the more obscure crafting materials. Ghost Crystal, Ghost Shrooms, Silkworms, Pristine Hide, Cursed Wood and Regular Gems can be found here.

There are 2 V Blood Carriers that roam the roads of the Cursed Forest, The Old Wanderer and Nightmarshal Styx the Sunderer. The rest are located at specific locations. This is a late Act II to late Act III region recommended to level 60 players or higher.

This is only region where Blood Snappers and Swamp Dwellers can be fished.

### Debuff

There is a constant building debuff while in the area called curse of the forest; it builds up relatively quickly to 100 at which point your viewing distance is decreased and there is fog over your mini map as well as your map. You can still see the direction and distance to your map marker, which is an effective way of navigating until you can negate the effect with a Shroud of the Forest.

### Humans

There are no active human settlements in the Cursed Forest. There appear to be remnants of villages, though these are inhabited by the undead. Humans can be found in the Spider Cave inside silk cocoons, with a random chance of spawning when one is destroyed. Unfortunately, however, these humans do not have the  Cursed Forest Hunter Perk. The perk is exclusive to Werewolf Workers from Gracefall Village.

## Areas

### Lurker Dwelling

A small area with up to 3 Lurkers, making it a good place to farm Pristine Hide.

A small area with a Witch and rich in Ghost Shroom. The Witch usually drops Spectral Dust and Scourgestone.

V Blood: Ungora the Spider Queen

A cave unaffected by the curse of the forest nor sunlight. It's filled with all kinds of spider enemies such as Spiderlings, Unstable Spiders, Crawlers, Weavers and Broodmothers. This is a great place to farm Silkworm. Golden Chests commonly spawn here.

### Ancient Village

V Blood: Foulrot the Soultaker

A ruined village filled with Undead enemies such as Ghost Assassins, Ghost Guardians and Banshees. This area is a good place to farm Ghost Crystal, Spectral Dust and Scourgestone.

### Cursed Village

V Blood: Cyril the Cursed Smith

A ruined village filled with Undead enemies such as Ghost Assassins, Ghost Guardians and Banshees. This area is a good place to farm Ghost Crystal, Spectral Dust and Scourgestone.

Ancestral Forge

## Overview

Merciless & Sanguine Weapons can be upgraded into Rare & Legendary weapons respectively at the Ancestral Forge. The stats of the weapon are derived from the ancestral shard used in the crafting process. Shard stats are **always randomly generated**.

All ancestral weapons are infused, causing Second Weapon Skill (Q) hits to inflict **Leech** / **Ignite** / **Condemn** / **Weaken** / **Chill** / **Static**.

## Possible Stat Rolls

Rare and Legendary ancestral weapons have 2 and 3 random stat bonuses respectively. See the table below.

## Perks

* *In Confined Castle Room*: +25% speed.
* *Has Matching Floor* (Forge Floor): -25% material cost.

## Recipes

Legendary Weapon Shards can be purchased at the Treasure Hunter Trade Post for 1 Onyx Tear each.

## Rolling a Specific Legendary Ancestral Shard & Materials Required

Assuming all stat rolls are randomized, only **1/6** (**16.67%**) of weapon shards will contain a desired **Magic School debuff**.

### Rolling for Specific Magic School + 1 x Specific Stat

Given that there are **11** possible stats, but we get **3** rolls to obtain our desired one, the overall chance to roll our desired stat on each attempt is

Blood Altar

The **Blood Altar** was a structure unlocked early on after completing the Getting Ready for the Hunt quest.

Since the Gloomrot expansion, the **Blood Altar** has been removed, as the ability to track V Bloods are now part of the base game's UI.

The Blood Altar assists in locating V Blood Carriers by "tracking" them with a red swirling blood cone (possibly representing the smell of blood) that appears periodically and points in the direction of the carrier, it is best to not move when gauging the location of a carrier as moving often changes the direction of the cones orientation which can lead to players heading in the wrong direction.

If the carrier has been killed recently, the blood cone will direct the player to the next spawning point of the tracked carrier, this is useful as some carriers can spawn in several different locations.

A carrier can still be killed, and all its rewards obtained, even if it was not tracked. Some V Bloods roam around, while others are stationary and always spawn in the same location, such as Grayson the Armourer who can always be found in the Bandit Armory.
