Youch, this was a nasty daily. I think I only had enough resources left for one extra hit on the boss by the end. I probably should have risked using potions early so that the few sources of blood were actually abusable.
I thought I was going to make good use of the trick where IAMAWAL-ing bandits does reduce curse stacks, but by the end the bandits were the easiest target so I just took what I could and stuck in curseland until the near-end.

Oh boy, that was tough. Seemed like nothing but cursed guys at the beginning and nothing but bloodless at the end. I misplayed by wasting some blood pools and by being cursed when I went to fight the dragon. Also forgot about the sub-D until after I converted BURNDAYRAZ. Oh well, it felt nice being on a win streak while it lasted.

Spiraled out of control right at the beginning. Got platemail, was completely boxed in by enemies. Took on a lvl 1 Bandit thinking to clear it up on the thrall, but the thrall was blocked by shades, so I knocked it away and then promptly died because I was counting on the death protection I just used.

[lordatog]

Blech. Forgot the boss had retaliate: fireball. I could have spent my mana potions a bit earlier instead to save blood, and I think I would have had it - I was level 8 with Platemail, Dragon Shield, all of my health potions and (would have had) most of my bloodpools left over. Instead, I died before the fight really got going. Oh well. High ranks mean nothing without one like this every once in a while.

Ugh, I really don't want to do this one. Guess we'll see how it goes eventually.

I thought I was going to lose this one early due to being boxed in by bandits, but I pushed past them and used CYDSTEPP to knock higher level shades out of my way until I found better targets. Early leveling was mostly same or lower level kills, using WEYTWUT as my only bonus xp. After more conversions and finding the vampiric blade, I could take on a few 1-2 higher level kills. I started fighting the curse shade at level 6, using a level up, lifesteal, some blood pools, and a health potion to finish it off. I didn't have the popcorn needed to do a 7-8 midfight on the curse dragon so I just leveled up to 8 and finished it off with my remaining blood pools and health potions. I should have used the mana potions on the curse shade though.

I think that today the main difficulty isn't so much that it's a vampire on cursed oasis, but rather the sucky map layout. Glyphs are ok once you find find them, shop items are also ok-ish (though Stone Sigil? again?). The safest bet to level is via higher-level AAs who can be disposed of using CYDSTEPP and BURNDAYRAZ. The only suitable blood cows would be the dragons, though there are only something like 2 mid-level dragons on the whole map. Bandits also work after the curse is lifted. Luckily though, vampires are not so exploration-dependent, especially today since blood cows are not really useful today, and the blood pools seem to be accessible from both realms, so there should be enough refills to kill the bosses around L7-8-ish.

Though looking at the winrate, it does look like win rate is very low, cca. 10% or so at time of writing...

That was pretty close. I had only couple of bloodpools remaining when I killed the real boss. Could have taken only 1 or 2 more hits from him. No, wait, there were also the bloodpools in the subdungeon.

I made horrid mistake at the end that almost made me fail. I forgot that after clearing the other realm you still get cursed when you level. So after the last level up during the boss fight I was cursed without any popcorn left. There was only level 7 and 8 Animated Armors left so I did not have any way to clear the curse.
