These buffs can be pretty powerful and are one of the core mechanics of your builds. Knowing the many blood types, buffs, and locations can be vital to making the strongest vampire in the game. This guide will list every blood type, their buffs, and how you can quickly get the most out of each version.

How Blood Types Work
As a vampire, you can drain anything of blood. Each human enemy in the game belongs to a specific class, like the Worker, Brute, Warrior, Rogue, and Scholar. Large animals will give the Creature blood type, while Draculin enemies will give Draculin blood. Each Blood Type has five Tiers—Tier I being the lowest and Tier V being the highest—with each tier granting a different bonus. Each living being has a blood quality percentage, which dictates the tier you can get when draining it.
This is how the percentages correlate to each tier:
Tier I: 1 to 29% blood quality
Tier II: 30 to 59% blood quality
Tier III: 60 to 89% blood quality
Tier IV: 90 to 99% blood quality
Tier V: 100% blood quality
It’s always ideal to feed on an enemy with the highest blood quality to ensure you get the most buffs in the game.
Frail Blood
This blood type is the default type and has no buffs. Feeding on rats or any small animal blood will reset your current blood type back to Frail, so be sure to always have a source of high-quality blood nearby. Consuming an Unsullied Heart will also reset your blood type to Frail.

How To Create A Blood Farm
You can bring enemies into your base and use them as permanent blood sources for your supplies. These farms will inherit the blood quality of the enemies you capture, which makes hunting for high blood quality even more important. To create your own blood farm, you must first unlock the Servant Coffin, Prison Cell, and the Dominating Presence skill.
Once you have these, find an enemy with 100% blood quality. To check their quality, simply hover your cursor over an enemy, and it will display the percentage on top of their health bar. To dominate an enemy, you must reduce their health to 30%. This spell must be channeled for the entire duration, so make sure to isolate your target or clear the area of any other enemies.
Bring your newly dominated human into your castle and place them in a Prison Cell. This will allow you to keep them in place and access their blood type easily. Do note that draining their blood will decrease their health and increase their Misery meter, increasing the damage they take when drained. Prisoners can permanently die if you drain them too much, so always keep them fed with fish like the Fat Goby, Rainbow Fish, Swamp Dweller, and Sage Fish. If you are worried about your prisoners dying, you can convert them into Servants. Converting a Servant will cost 100 Blood Essence while resurrecting them will cost 50 Blood Essence.
If you need to bring some blood for the road while maintaining the same blood quality, you can craft Glass Bottles, which can be used to craft Blood Potions, Blood Merlot, and other useful potions. The recipe for Glass Bottles can be unlocked by defeating Grethel the Glassblower.
