VAMPIR Global Launch Guide: Server Selection, Class Picks, and a Free-to-Play Opening Route

VAMPIR's global servers open on October 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8), covering North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, with PC and mobile cross-play. If you're planning to start, here's the complete guide—from choosing a server and class to spending your first resources wisely.

1. Launch Time and Pre-Download

Global launch: October 28, 2026, 10:00 AM (Beijing/Singapore time) — equivalent to October 27, 7:00 PM PDT / October 28, 02:00 UTC.

Pre-download: Opened October 27 at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). Install ahead of time so you can jump in the moment servers go live.

Platforms: PC (Epic Games Store / Netmarble Launcher), Android, and iOS. PS5 and Xbox are not supported for this global launch.

PC minimum specs: GTX 1060 / RX 580, 16GB RAM, 20GB storage; SSD recommended.

2. Server Selection (The Most Important Step)

The global launch has three connection regions, six worlds, and 12 servers. Your available servers are determined by your account's region—you cannot freely pick another region at launch.

Key reminder: Country labels are language-community recommendations, not restrictions. But warehouses, collections, Bloodshapes, and mounts are shared between characters on the same server. If you're playing with friends, agree on the same numbered server—SCARLET1 and SCARLET2 are entirely different servers.

Server transfers: Netmarble plans to introduce same-region transfers roughly 8–10 weeks after launch. Fees and requirements will be announced later. Don't count on switching freely at launch.

3. Class Recommendations: Best Picks for Free-to-Play and New Players

VAMPIR has no dedicated healer—every class sustains through the Drain system. Your class choice directly affects early farming efficiency and potion costs.

Best solo F2P pick: Bloodstained (Sword)
Balanced offense and defense, with the strongest survivability in the game. Built-in lifesteal and damage reduction let it farm stably even without great gear. Ideal if you want steady progress without constant town trips.

Best ranged farmer: Carnage (Dual Pistols)
Long range and fast attack speed make it extremely efficient at clearing mobs and completing quests. For multi-boxers, dual Carnage offers top-tier fire coverage and saves heavily on potions.

Best AoE clearer: Viper (Orb)
Wide-area damage-over-time skills excel at clearing packs. Lower burst and more late-game scaling—better suited to light spenders or players planning to invest later.

Avoid as a first character: Grim Reaper
A PvP-oriented assassin with single-target attacks, making it inefficient at farming and heavily gear-dependent. Not recommended for a F2P fresh start.

Available at launch: Akasha is confirmed playable when global servers open.

4. What to Do on Day One

Priority one: Push the main story to level 34

From 0–34, do only yellow main quests. For kill-count quests, team up with friends to speed things up. Do not waste resources enhancing gear before level 33—leveling hands out transitional gear, and white items get replaced fast.

Level 34 is the key milestone: It unlocks field diamond drops. From then on, killing mobs has a chance to drop "farm diamonds"—the main diamond source for F2P players. Weekly cap is 1,000, holding cap is 5,000—spend them before they overflow.

Side quests (blue) and green quests: Do them along the way; don't backtrack specifically for them. Green quests give enhancement materials and weapon upgrade resources, which matter early.

Daily quests: Start them as early as possible. They grant Artifacts, Trinity, and other core resources, with a chance at epic-quality chests.

5. How to Spend Diamonds (F2P Priority Order)

Farm diamonds cap at 1,000 per week, and F2P players have no other source, so priority matters:

First: Expand your inventory
Gear takes up slots. Over 100% weight blocks teleporting; over 120% restricts even picking items up. Without enough slots, your ability to list gear on the Marketplace for diamonds suffers directly.

Second: Weekly Black Market garter
The "Bohm's Garter" is a once-per-week Black Market purchase at 150 diamonds. Turning it in to the Dark Merchant yields 1,250–2,500 Black Market Coins, used to buy Ancient Relic chests that boost your collection stats.

Third: Character slot expansion (optional)
2,500 diamonds, once per account. Achievements are tracked per character, so alts are an efficient way to farm rare appearances and mounts. Not urgent early on.

Fourth: Save
After the first three, keep roughly 4,000 diamonds in reserve for a good bundle. Spend before hitting the 5,000 cap, or drops stop.

6. Earning Diamonds via the Marketplace (No Cap)

Marketplace earnings are general diamonds—no 1,000 weekly cap and no 5,000 holding cap, making this the freer diamond source for F2P players.

What's worth listing early:

• Trinity: Needed for gear crafting, blessing, crafting, and mana research. Scarce supply early, steady demand.

• Rare blue gear: Demand across all classes; blessed items disassemble for more value.

• General gear: List whatever you find—provided you have the inventory slots.

Note: Before stuffing gear into your collection, check what it's worth in Black Market Coins. Some pieces are more valuable traded in than collected.

7. Before Launch: Claim Pre-Registration Rewards

Pre-registration rewards arrive via in-game mail, once per account, and must be claimed within 30 days.

Core rewards: 100,000,000 Gold, Rare Weapon Chest, Rare Armor Set Chest, Rare Appearance Summon Ticket (Class), Immortal Portrait Fragments A/B/C, and a Designated Heroic Mount Summon Ticket (usable at Lv. 55).

Note: The mount ticket is labeled Lv. 55—don't expect to ride it at launch. Collect all three portrait fragments to activate a portrait; gender follows the claiming character.

Also watch for the official Discord welcome coupon and the official Facebook "New Moon Gift" codes posted on the first Wednesday of each month.

Day-One Checklist

VAMPIR's early pace is clear: levels drive everything, and level 34 is where the F2P game truly begins. Pick the right server and class, spend diamonds on inventory and the Black Market, then build up through the Marketplace. If you'd rather skip the grind, you can buy VAMPIR Diamond via third-party marketplaces—just verify their legitimacy first. For a trusted option, MMOEXP is worth checking out. Don't rush to enhance transitional gear, and don't gamble on the Discipline system's stat rerolls—when resources are limited, stability beats luck.
