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

  • None of your permed skills are available.
  • No class can be picked during reincarnation. Instead your class will be Vampyre, which has its own distinct skill set. Your main stat is Mysticality.
  • Stomach is size 5.
  • Liver is size 4. Players will become intoxicated upon reaching a drunkenness level of 5.
  • You cannot eat non-blood food:
You aren't interested in non-blood foodstuffs.
  • You can not drink non-blood booze:
You aren't interested in non-blood beverages.
  • You may only consume foods and booze crafted from blood bags.

  • 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.
  • Many non-vampyric means of restoring HP (such as healing items) don't work.
  • Since you cannot join a guild, you do not have access to any zones that require a guild quest to unlock.
  • 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.
  • Standard restrictions apply while Dark Gyffte is the current challenge path. These restrictions will be lifted on May 15, 2018.

Divergences

Skills

Vampyre skills consume HP instead of MP. The Vampyre skill tree is accessed in Torpor, which you can reach by retiring to your coffin at your campsite for 1 adventure or by losing in combat. Learning a skill reduces your pool of available base HP by the amount indicated. Unlike other classes, Vampyres can reconfigure their skills freely while in Torpor, learning and unlearning any skills so long as they retain a base HP greater than zero.

  • Vampyres also start out with the skills Dark Feast and Wisdom of Countless Centuries.
  • Note that base HP is only increased by base Muscle. Effects and enchantments that increase maximum HP do not increase the pool of base HP available to learn skills.
  • Losing ends combat and costs an adventure, even if it was a free fight. Unlike Ed the Undying, you will not return to the fight. After exiting Torpor, you will regain full HP and will not be Beaten Up.

Strategy

Rewards

  • Finishing a Dark Gyffte run that began while it was the current special challenge path -- between February 15th, 2019, and May 15th, 2019 -- gives players 100 (in Hardcore) or 50 (in Normal) extra karma points the next time they visit Valhalla.
  • Players will receive a Thwaitgold mosquito statuette each time they complete a run.
  • Players will receive a Booke of Vampyric Knowledge each time they complete a run.
