Vampires and Werewolves
While not exactly a new system, vampires and werewolves have been completely re-worked to provide a much more playable class. Vampires and Werewolves have also been split into factions and are opposing one another. Vampire players will be able to hunt werewolves and Werewolf players will be able to hunt vampires for points to earn rewards.
1.Vampires
A. Changes and Improvements
Two new forms have been added: Fog and Raven. All three vampire forms can travel at mounted speed, but only while in that form and certain spells require you to be in a given form.
Sunlight damage has been removed and the thirst/hunger system has been adjusted to work off a two-hour timetable.
Vampires also have a "home base" where they can get their gear repaired (for a price) and they may obtain various vampire quests.
The Ancient armor pieces have been combined into a 6-piece armor set with set bonuses.
The stat bonunses have been altered slightly: Str + 4, Dex + 6, Int + 8.
The "Bite Chance" has been increased to 5% chance to spread the infection when you bite a player.
Using the Bite ability also regenerates 10 HP.
Vampire Window has been re-designed with a larger Bite button and includes buttons for all three forms. (Note: You must switch back to human form to switch between various vampire forms.)

4. Blood Drain: Causes your target's blood to boil doing massive, internal damage.
5. Petrify Field: Summons a wall of terror that petrifies monsters with fear.
6. Miasma: Single target poison spell.
7. Shadow Vale*: While in Fog form, you can cast shadow vale, turn invisible and move around.
8. Harden Flesh: Forces your skin to toughen increasing certain resists.

Players obtain the quests to enter the dungeons from Professor Van Helsing. The Professor can be found outside Blackthorn Castle in Brit-Tram. His assistant, Jonathan, is there as well selling Lycanthropy and Vampirism cure potions. Quest requirements include gathering new materials (Silver Ore, Fresh Garlic, Silver Stake and Holy Water). Upon completion of the quest, players will be given two ancient tomes (which will open a portal to the dungeon of their choice), a random talisman (protection against vampires or werewolves) and one key. Dungeons are only active from 8pm to 8am (real time EST + 6). (Note: Players only get one key per quest, per 24 hours.)
Quest Item List
Silver Ore: Can be mined up from the Solen Ant hives in Fel and Tram where the queen is located. Ore can be turned into ingots just by double clicking the ore and targeting a forge, 1 ore = 1 ingot.
Fresh Garlic: Can be found in and around Grizelda's cabin.
Silver Stake: Unblessed sivler stakes can be crafted through Carpentry with Fresh Garlic (5), a board and Silver Ingots (3). (Note: Unblessed silver stakes are under the Weapons list in the Carpentry menu and require at least 70 carpentry to craft.
Blessed Silver Stake: Once the silver stake has been crafted, players must take it to the Grail Temple on Fire Island and dip it in the fountain. The Blessed Silver Stake will become a powerful weapon to be used against the Vampire or Werewolf boss. (Note: The silver stake only has 1 durability, so you get one chance to use its awesome power against the boss.)
Holy Water: Can be obtained from the fountain inside the Grail Temple on Fire Island. (Note: Players will get 5 bottles of plain Holy Water.)
Holy Water Bomb: Combine plain Holy Water (1) with Fresh Garlic (1) in a bottle and do significant damage to the vampire and werewolf bosses. (Note: Holy Water Bombs are in the Alchemy menu under Explosion Potions.)

Players will be able to bet on their chances of survival at each tier level!
A. Event Betting
We know how much everyone loves to gamble. So in the spirit of fun and excitement, we bring you true betting. We've added Betting Books that you can drop any amount check onto and that is your bet. That's all you have to do! oh, you'll need to drop some blank scrolls onto the Betting Book as well so you can withdraw your winnings. This new system can be seen in its entirety at The Wolf and Sword. More events will include Event Betting as time marches forward.
