Dark Gyffte

Dark Gyffte is the Spring 2019 special challenge path, introduced on February 15th, 2019. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Live a grim facsimile of life as a powerful Vampyre."

Restrictions

• You cannot eat or drink non-blood food or drinks:
  • Trying to eat non-blood food gives the message:

    You aren't interested in non-blood foodstuffs.

  • Trying to drink non-blood drinks gives the message:

    You aren't interested in non-blood beverages.

• None of your permed skills are available.
• You do not have access to any familiars.
  • Trying to bring a familiar with you will give the message:

    Familiars can't abide your spooky presence.

• Since you cannot join a guild, you do not have access to any zones that require a guild quest to unlock.
• Standard restrictions apply while Dark Gyffte is the current challenge path. These restrictions will be lifted on May 15, 2018.

Divergences

• Your adventure begins with Intro: View of a Vampire.
• Vampyres do not have any MP. Instead, all skills cost HP to use instead.
• Vampyres cannot enter The Sea. Clicking An Old Man gives the following message:

  That shack you saw on the main map was just a picture of a shack drawn on the ground.

Skills

• Skills are chosen by retiring to your coffin, choosing skills using health like skill points, and then resting.
  • Skills are chosen in Torpor.
