Chapter 6: Body Tempering Potion
Varnyx nodded in approval. "Not bad for a bloodling."
Damon smiled. His starting stats were slightly better than average thanks to his old habit of paying a visit to the gym regularly.
Heightened Senses was the passive buff all vampires received and similarly Eternal Hunger was the passive debuff all the vampires received. Nothing new here.
Eternal Hunger did sound very overwhelming but in reality as long as one consumed good amount of beast blood once a day, it was more than enough to handle the debuff. In some ways, the debuff was also a kind of buff because the vampires seldom needed health potions. Drinking blood would suffice. It saved some money in the long run.
The buff was also good. It helped the players see in the darkness which was a huge deal at least in the beginning stage. Same thing goes for the other senses.
What they don't mention in the fine print but a nice sweet surprise is the fact that vampires can sometime sniff out low level stealth players. Other than that the passive buff didn't do much and couldn't really considered overpowered.
For that matter, most of the classes in the game were kind of balanced. Just choosing a specific class didn't automatically make someone overpowered. Special hidden classes though were an entiredly different ball game.
There were also some rumored legendary classes in the game but even after three years no one with a legendary class was officially confirmed. All the top players had opted to keep their class details a secret for good measure. There were forum threads, unverifiable claims, a few wild tales of one-shot wipes in PvP zones, but nothing concrete.
After exchanging a few polite words with the vampire and giving the excuse of returning the charm to the old hag, he quickly made his way out of the well.
