🧛‍Overview

The rise of the 7,500 New Vamps introduces two powerful methods to acquire these next-gen fanged fiends: Awakenings and Rituals. This guide breaks down both systems and how to master them for optimal vamp collection.


🔥 Awakening

🧮 Legacy Vamp Point System

Each Legacy Vamp is worth points based on metadata:

Holding a 1/1 or unique Legacy Vamp(like Bards, Deadpxlz and more)? Choose wisely. These will receive special treatment once the 1/1 creation process for Derp Birds and Preds is finalized. Burning them now might mean missing out on something... legendary later.

Metadata
Points

Vamp #00000 – #09999

Vamp #10000+

Tag: Blacklight / Special 1/1s

You can combine multiple legacy vamps to reach the point cost for your desired new vamp.

🧬 Max Rank from Awaken: Rank 4 Awakenings cannot yield Rank 5 vamps. The highest possible rank from this method is Rank 4, which may occur via chance.

🔮 Chance at a Rank 4 Vamp

When trading in for a lower-rank vamp, there’s a small chance you’ll receive a Rank 4 vamp instead.

🔁 How to Awaken

  1. Head to Rituals from the Adventures Home Screen.

  2. Select the Rank/Age of the vamp you want.

  3. View your Legacy Vamps and their point values.

  4. Select which vamps to burn to meet your goal.

  5. Confirm and sign the transaction.

  6. Receive your new vamp instantly.

💸 Awakening Cost

Each Awakening costs 25,000 Derp Dollars (DD) or 250 $DERP tokens to perform. This is in addition to the required Legacy Vamps for point trade-in.

🧬 All trades are permanent and processed on-chain. Legacy vamps are burned and cannot be recovered.


📜 Rituals

Crafting returns in a vampiric form. 3,500 Vamps can be summoned through Rituals, a system inspired by Season 1 crafting but powered by Tomes and Materials.

🧬 Max Rank from Rituals: Rank 5 Rituals are the only way to obtain a Rank 5 vamp. The rank/age of the resulting vamp depends on the Tome used.

📖 Requirements

  • Optional Derp Dollars (for speed-up)

⚠️ You can only hold one Tome at a time.

💰 Ritual Costs by Tome

Rituals scale in cost based on the Tome being used:

Gamma

Epsilon

Zeta

99 ADA

Omega

114 ADA

⏳ Ritual Flow

  1. Visit Rituals in the Adventures section.

  2. View your active Tome and its required materials.

  3. If needed, gather resources via Hunts or grab a Tome in Discovery.

  4. Start the ritual.

  5. Wait 12 hours for the ritual to complete (or skip with Derp Dollars).

  6. Reveal your vamp in a classic S1-style animation.

  7. Choose the wallet to send your vamp to.

💡 Rituals burn your tome and materials. Choose wisely!

🧬 On vs Off-Chain Creation

Players will have the option to mint their new vamps on-chain or off-chain, depending on their preferred ownership model.

💡 Tips for Collectors

  • Combine lower-value Legacy Vamps for efficient point farming.

  • Target Rank 3 trade-ins if you're aiming for a potential Rank 4 pull.

  • Rituals offer the only path to Rank 5—collect tomes accordingly!

  • Always double-check your Tome and material requirements before starting a ritual.

  • Don’t let Tomes sit idle — there’s vamp DNA waiting to be unlocked!

Awakenings are on-chain transformations where players trade in to unlock the new breed. Up to 4,000 Vamps can be acquired this way. Here's how it works:
