Notes on Race
Absorbers, are an all round type of character good for beginners and anyone who wants the extra chance to crit/luck at level 50. and the easiness bonus lowers the requirements of building and equipping items
Cultists, are good at melee or ranged because of the additional agility they can get through there arcana and searing blood is guarenteed damage every round which is good and blood of life can be usefull later on in the game for a defensive set up
Thoughtcatcher, these characters have arcana increasing there HP (Reputation in Attack, Charisma for defence) and therefore can be good at anything
Beastmaster, These specialise in melee with there extra attack at level 50 and strength arcana to increase damage toughness is usefull for everyone but i wouldn't reccommend choosing them unless your going melee
Act 2 arcana these are available only after you have hit level 50 and completed all your pilgrimages
if you are not sure i would reccommend going Absorber or Thoughtcatcher
Sex
---
Theres not much difference between the 2 other than a few pieces of equipment can only be used by male/female characters personally i prefer female but its really up to you this bit
Getting Started
--------------
Training
-------
ok the first screen you will come to is the training screen there are 2 ways to do this
1. quester for this you should increase all your stats as equally as you can which will put them all at 6 and 3 at 7
2. Attacker for this you need to put 4 into intelligence and knowlege and the rest into strength, agility and toughness
if you mouse over the image at the left of the stat it will give you more in depth information of what the stat does
Buying/Equipping
----------------
once you have done that and clicked train you need to head to the shop and buy 2x knifes a cap some shorts and a shirt if you have the strength,then head to your armoury and equip all these items
Building
-------
click on building site and build any building you have the stats to build it is a good idea to get all your buildings to the highest level you can as they all help
Employment agency, Brothel, and slaughterhouse increase the amount of resources you get each hour you should start by getting these all to level 1 as soon as possible
Armoury increases the amount of items you can keep
Old market allows you to trade with other vampires (only accessible at level 20
and taxicab lowers the amount of time it takes to ambush people (for a nominal fee of course)
Police Staion, Vagrants Shelter and Bodyguard agency increase your defensive/attacking capabilities
you can do other things while these are building so read on
Questing/Ambushing
-------------------
1. if you chose option 1 in training (if you chose option 2 head to option 2 in this section) you need to start questing click on begin a quest and leave for your first quest a countdown timer will start once its finished click on finished and it will take you to the message then do it again till your out of quests
2. if you chose option 2 in training you need to start attacking people head to your city overview and click on someones name who has 1 point then click on attack in there profile and it will start a countdown if there are no 1 pointers in your current placement no worries just click on one of the arrows at the top (2nd lot of arrows) until you find someone that is. then repeat this process
ok now youve done a quest/ambush or two you should have some Points of Progress (PoP) so head back to the training room and train a few of your stats it is wise to try and keep all of your stats fairly equal
arcana can be handy in questing and ambushing if you are questing you need can increase one of your stats to give you a better chance of passing in that quest and if your ambushing people you will want to use some of your arcana to give you the edge on the other person
Level up!
--------
congratulations youve reached level 2 if you head back to the shop you may notice a few more items are available to buy (there will be a number in red to signify this) also every 2 levels it will randomly increase 3 of your stats (it will tell you which ones have increased in a message)
you will also probably have found an item or 2 on your quests if you look in your armoury it will show you these new items for now i would reccommend keeping anything that increases one of your stats as these can be handy for building even if theyre no good in ambushs and also equipping anything you can that is better than your current item (you will have to unequip your current item first)
you should also start looking for a clan to help you which clan you join is completely up to you and the leader of the clan
Tasks
-----
completing tasks is important as this gives you PoP to train your stats and stones which are usefull for upgrading/buying new items which will give you an edge over other people the same level as you, you can check Tasks here for more information on what tasks are available and how to do them
Well of souls
------------
this is an extremely important feature on underworld features which you will soon grow to hate here you can upgrade you items for a cost of stones (depending on how good the item already is)
you can also merge items together to make different items although you wont be using this feature just yet
and last but not least your tattoos before you choose a tattoo path you should choose what you want to do in the game 1h gun/2h gun/1h melee/2h melee and ranged if your not sure dont pick one yet you can find more about tattoos in the tutorial (theres a link at the side of the page) you should study these carefully before you pick one
Level 20
--------
now this is where the fun starts if you've built an old market (if you havent you should build one asap) you will now be able to trade with other vampires have a look around see what items you like and before you buy anything have a look in the closed auctions for the same item to find out a rough price for it to save you paying to much
also expeditions become available to you, you may have noticed that during your ambushs you have been getting points of honor (PoH) if you look in your throne hall it will tell you how many you have
to start your expo you first need to find a team message people in your clan to see if theyre available to come with you bearing in mind that you can only have 120 levels in a white dragon (the first expo monster) which means you have 100 levels left after yourself.
more to come shortly

Cultists, are good at melee or ranged because of the additional agility they can get through there arcana (blood of life is fairly useless) and searing blood is guarenteed damage every round which is good but if your not going melee or ranged i wouldn't reccommend them.
blood of life is NOT useless. its invaluable at times and can mean the difference between a win and a loss

At higher levels Blood of life can actually mean you aren't taking damage... such as tank set ups, like collector or demonlord, or even BK... you can simply tank damage... Nndungu does it

You may want to add that it does have a limitation, if your defence is too high.
