Registering an item in the VAMPIR collection is permanent: the item vanishes from your bag the moment you register it, and in return the completed set gives your character a stat bonus. Portraits work in stages instead: ten activation steps, each adding stats, and restoration kits from dungeons, quests or the shop to finish them. Both live under Growth in the menu.

Collection: register with care

Collection rules in the Korean guide
RuleWhat it means for you
Item is consumed on registration You cannot get it back; check the price on the market first
Five collection categories Different item requirements per category
Search and filters Find the entry an item belongs to before you decide
Caution message Toggle by checkbox; leave it on while you learn the system
Dark-trade warning Appears when the item can be exchanged for dark merchant coins instead

The dark-trade warning is the one to respect. An item that can be turned into dark merchant coins has a second use, and registering it closes that door. If the same item also sells on the market, compare the three: collection bonus, coins, or gold and diamonds from a buyer.

Portraits: ten stages, then restoration

A portrait is your profile picture and a stat item. Each portrait unlocks through ten sequential stages; once all ten are done the restoration button lights up, and a restored portrait can be equipped. Portraits come in several types and grades, and the effects button adds up every bonus from every portrait you have applied, which is the number to watch when you decide where the next restoration kit goes.

  1. Check which portrait you are closest to finishing; kits are scarce and a half-done portrait pays nothing extra.
  2. Farm kits where the guide says they come from: dungeons and quests before the shop.
  3. Restore, equip, then open the effects button to see the new total.
