How do Blood Gates work?

Gate states
StateLookWhat you get
Inactive Grey light Nothing; the area around it stays hidden on the map
Active Red light (white on the world map) Map revealed, linked hunting spots on, loot info, paid teleport

Once a gate is on, its hunting spots show what they drop, so you can check the loot before you travel. Walking to a linked spot is always an option.

How do you save a location on the world map?

  1. Open the region list and star your farm zones so you don't scroll the list every time.
  2. Save your farm spot under its own name in the saved-location list.
  3. Use the quest list's auto-move for story quests, and keep the icon toggles on for gates and events.

FAQ

Is teleport free in VAMPIR?
No. Netmarble's guide says teleporting to a gate or hunting spot costs a fee, but it doesn't give the amount or the currency.
Why is a Blood Gate grey?
It hasn't been activated yet. Interact with the gate in the field and it lights up red (white on the world map).
Can you find the player who killed you?
Yes. When you die, choose to save the target's location. The name, details and position stay in the list so you can go back.
