Blood

"'You will slowly loose 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 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 cannot "refill" an active blood pool. The player must consume a new victim before they run out of blood. The player can use s to capture a victim and effectively farm their blood via s to maintain a specific blood pool quality.

Detecting Blood Type and Quality
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 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 s and s 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 the ability to build s. They can then use the ability to capture high-quality victims and repeatedly extract s that can be consumed to fully refill their blood pool with that same blood type and quality.

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