To stay at the first stage of vampirism, you must feed once every 24 hours (Oblivion hours, not your real-life, mother-terrorizing hours).

Some players report that these aging effects are permanent, though in our experience it was hard to tell after we cured the disease.ĭon't want to be damaged by the sun while you seek out the cure for vampirism? There is a way to hold back the evolution. It's also worth noting that as you progress through the stages of vampirism, your character looks older and older. The next two levels of vampirism (Vampirism 75 and 100) increase both the damage you take by sun and the stat boosts you gain from the disease. Don't use fast travel unless it's going to be night throughout your journey! You'll earn some more powers, however, as many of your stats see increased boosts. Also, if you take off your gear in the sun, you instantly die.

Although some sunlight damage does occur around the 12-5 p.m. However, to minimize sun damage, or to not recieve any at all, you can wear the armor you recieve from the dark brotherhood questline as a means of shielding yourself. At stage two (Vampirism 50), you start taking damage while in the sun. You can still move about in daylight, and people are only mildly bothered by your appearance. At the first stage (Vampirism 25), your character earns some stat boosts and turns a bit ugly. Once you're a full-blown vampire, there are essentially four stages of the disease. However, if you go three days without curing the sickness, you'll wake up from your next nap as a vampire. Going to an altar will cure your disease, too. If you see that you've got the beginnings of the vampire disease, simply use a Cure Disease potion to rid yourself of the virus. If you've just recently come out of a cave where you fought vampires, be sure to check your Active Effects spells page.

First of all, it's worth understanding the rules of vampirism.
