Blood

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

Example of a Frail Type Blood Pool; no bonuses.

Blood is a key resource in V Rising.

The player must continuously find new victims lest they run out of blood entirely. Feeding on a blood-carrying target (victim) will refill the player's Blood Pool to its maximum capacity of 10 liters and absorb the victim's blood type (Creature, Rogue, Warrior, etc.). Later on in the game the player unlocks {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Potion }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]] and {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Merlot }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]], which allows them to store blood for later consumption. Each blood type provides different passive bonuses, with higher quality blood granting stronger bonuses. The 5 tiers of Blood Pool powers are unlocked at different percentage levels. For example, Tier IV Blood Pool powers will only be unlocked by draining a 90%+ blood quality victim.

The Blood Pool drains slowly over time, and faster when dealing & taking damage or using particular vampire powers such as {{#vardefine: abilityName | Blood Mend }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Blood Mend }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 27 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | normal }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]] or {{#vardefine: abilityName | Expose Vein }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Expose Vein }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 27 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | normal }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]]. Dying will immediately incur a 1 liter Blood Pool loss. Blood drainage can be virtually paused whilst sleeping in a Coffin. Blood drain is reduced by 25% on Relaxed Difficulty.
Upon running out of a non-frailed Blood Pool, the player's Blood Pool will revert to 1 liter of Frailed blood.
If their frailed Blood Pool runs out, the player's health will slowly deplete to 1 health. Feeding on any source of blood will restore the player's health regeneration.

Prior to v1.0, a player's current Blood Pool could not be refilled by any means. However, as of update 1.0, it is now possible by feeding on a defeated Primal Blood Soul, either from a Tier 2 Rift Incursion in the Ruins of Mortium or a summoned one from the {{#vardefine: itemName | Stygian Summoning Circle }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Structure}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]. Doing so will refill the player's current Blood Pool by 5 liters (50%).

Threshold Percentages

Blood Quality % required to unlock each Tier

• I:   1%
• II: 30%
• III: 60%
• IV: 90%
• V: 100%

Bonus Scaling

For tiers I - III, at least one variable is proportional to the quality of the given blood, down to a minimum of half the max potential bonus. For example, Worker Blood's Tier 1 bonus will provide at least 12% but up-to 24% Increased Resource yield, the value of which ranges between 1% and 100% Blood Quality: 

• 1% Blood Quality => 12% Increased Resource yield
• 30% Blood Quality => 15.6% Increased Resource yield
• 50% Blood Quality => 18% Increased Resource yield
• 99% Blood Quality => 24% Increased Resource yield
• 100% Blood Quality => ~29% Increased Resource yield (including Tier V bonus of +20%)

Detecting Blood Types

Example of the Blood Hunger ability with the blood type icon and percentage displayed.

Mouse over a victim to display the blood type and blood quality percentage. See Enemies for a list of all enemies with a blood type.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Tristan the Vampire Hunter, they will unlock the {{#vardefine: abilityName | Blood Hunger }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Blood Hunger }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 27 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | normal }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]] 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.

Blood Consumables

The player can consume items such as {{#vardefine: itemName | Rat }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s and {{#vardefine: itemName | Tainted Heart }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s to restore a small amount of their blood pool, at the cost of changing their blood type to 'frailed', losing all blood type bonuses.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Vincent the Frostbringer, they will unlock {{#vardefine: itemName | Prison Cell }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Structure}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s. By using the {{#vardefine: abilityName | Dominate }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Dominate }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 27 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | normal }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]] Vampire Power they can imprison high-quality human victims and repeatedly extract {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Potion }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s / {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Merlot }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s from them. Allowing for a consistent supply of high quality blood.

Once the player has fed on Lucile the Venom Alchemist, they will additionally be able to mix {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Potion }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Item}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]s via the {{#vardefine: itemName | Blood Homogenizer }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Structure}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]]. This allows for fusing one of the blood traits in a potion into another. If the blood quality of the secondary potion is 90% or higher, the IV bonus will also be infused.
