Summoning

Vermin Nest

The Vermin Nest can be built after you have completed the first few quests of the questline.
The Vermin Nest is used to summon 6 types of creatures, these will unlock as you progress further through the game.
Place the materials required on the Vermin Nest and then wait for the creature to spawn. Kill the creature to loot the materials specified. Then wait again for the next batch of creatures to spawn.

As a low level player, it is a great source of Rats, which you can use to create Vermin Salve to heal you until you progress to the Blood Rose heals.
In mid to late game, the Vermin Nest is primarily used to spawn Spiderlings, these drop Silk Worms which are used to create Silk for higher level gear.

When you place the required materials into the Vermin Nests Input, the Vermin Nest will create the Creatures until the output is full. The Nest will only ‘release’ the first batch of creatures onto the floor. The other crafted creatures will wait in the output until the current batch is killed and then they will be released.

The creatures that spawn will run around in a small area waiting to be killed. You may want to place your Vermin Nests in a small enclosed room/area so that you can AoE the creatures down quickly. Even if you leave the Nest in an open area, the creatures will only wander a small distance and they will not despawn until you kill them.

Bones are a heavily used material for all stages of the game. Using the Tomb to farm Skeletons is a great way to get loads of bones, even at lower levels. As you increase your level, you can try your luck with the other creatures, which will give you higher level materials as well as bones.

When you place the required materials into the Tombs  Input, the Tomb will create the Creatures until the output is full. The Tomb will only ‘release’ the first batch of creatures onto the floor.

To Buy items in Dunley Farmlands, and Silverlight Hills, you will need to use your Vampire Powers to disguise yourself as a Human. You will get this power after killing Bane the Shadowblade, Level 50.

Ensure you have plenty of coin in your bags when you visit the Merchants! If you are carrying Silver or Goldsun then you will need to use the bags with Silver Resistance, for higher amounts of coin you may also want to pop a Silver Resistance vial.
