Vampiric Brew not working?

[HO ANU]

It says that it gives a 10% spell leech and also an increase of 5% of your bloodtype.

I got a 97% brute and wanted it to get it to 100% with the vampiric brew but its still 97%.

[A Big Hairy Monster]

Same here, just looked with my 97% Scholar and my blood stats tab is still showing 97% after drinking the brew

[Glyph]

Note that it improves blood efficiency, and not blood quality. What's the difference? I don't actually know. But it is a difference.

[Tanyon]

LMAO that is NOT what that means people..

It means it makes you CURRENT blood 5% more efficient as is.. not that it makes a 95% a 100% lmaooo this is hilarious.. ohh I needed this laugh..

[Tanyon]

IMAGINE if it was that easy to just walk around with 95+ blood and pop a potion to make it 100 for an hour whenever you want.. haha.

[Dribs]

Yeah, you guys misunderstand how the brew works. It improves the efficiency of your current blood type, it doesnt increase its overall quality. You cant make your 97% brute blood into 100% but it will increase all its effects by an extra 5%.

[Aetemes]

Honestly, I am not going to lie that brew and the stygian passive, are just so weird....like....the bloods already have too many vague percentage ranges....then it adds a percentage to all the perentaging...like...I was actually hoping that yes it would increase blood quality, but lol.

So...instead of 20% movement speed...it's 21% movement speed...I am guessing...LOL. I mean I guess every little thing adds up....-_-.

I will say tho the spell leech alone is nice I guess..I am honestly not sure.

correct me if im wrong if you get a vblood that is 100 percent blood on tier V you get bonus 25 percent to all effect ( description ) .. i think its the same how the potion works ? but only 5 percent. there's also a shard upgrade in blood academy . which boost 8 percent on tier 3

[Chaos]

Yeah, that's not how it work.

You see the 100% blood effect? one that give you 25% more effect of the blood type bonus?
This brew do that, but at 5%, plus whatever other bonus.

Ok, so I did some testing, and I can confirm that Vampiric brew does NOT increase the 'above effects' I tested this out by using a 100% warrior type blood. My physical power increased to 54.7, then I proceeded to drink the vampiric brew and it stayed the same at 54.7. I know the results SHOULD show, because I tested immediately before a blood moon, and the blood moon raised my physical power to over 55.
All things considered, either this is a hidden effect (meaning that it would not show up in the numbers when pressing TAB) Or it does some other effect, such as not raising the blood quality, but perhaps raising the efficiency of the blood in our already attained tiers.
(An example of this would be having a 50% warrior that only has a 12.5% increase in power, but then after drinking the vampiric brew, would then receive a 13.something. You get the point. I don't think this works either, because it should STILL show up in the physical power numbers.
I tested also with a 99% warrior as well (what can I say I got lucky on prisoners), IMMEDIATELY after the 100% warrior (Still with Vampiric brew active). This lowered my Physical power to 53.2 from 54.7. So it definitely does NOT raise your Blood Quality (from 99 to 100).

I simply do not know what this vampiric brew does besides give spell life leech. If anyone has any particular way that they recommend I test this, let me know. I have the blood and the prisoners.

Do you have training dummies?
You can try and see if the damage numbers go up after the brew. That way you'll know that the boost isn't reflected in the stats.

Most late-game jewelry provides a "Reduced Blood Drain Rate" attribute percentage. I assumed that's what the Vampiric Brew means by "Efficiency" ... though, I'm now wondering - if this is the case - why the difference in vernacular.

Could potentially test this by just going idle for a couple hours; record starting litres, after one hour without the potion, then again after one hour with the potion, and see how much it depletes between the two - all while not dealing or taking damage, as that accelerates it. However, with only an alleged 5% benefit, not sure if it would be noticeable under these conditions.

So, i have basically infinite resources on my official server (beat Dracula essentially day 1), so figured I'd commit to the test. This imgur is a before and after of using Vampiric Brew with 100% Mutant blood active + "Blood Hunger" shapeshift (since that counts for the bonus move speed). Only thing that changed was I gained +1 resist with the brew active.

Hope this helps! ^_^

Done!
I tested it out on the dummies, I found NO increase in damage from vampiric brew.

Here is a link to three different screenshots.
1.) Is pre-vampiric brew 100% warrior, dealt 42 damage with one left click swing of greatsword.
2.) Is post-vampiric brew 100% warrior, dealt 42 damage with one left click swing of greatsword. (No increase in Physical Power, or damage dealt, hidden or otherwise)
3.) Is post-vampiric brew 99% warrior, dealt 41 damage with one left click swing of greatsword. (So this definitely does NOT raise the blood to 100% without showing us)

Let me know what you all think, whether this is a bug, or simply us not being able to find out what efficiency means.

I just tested the vampiric brew and it seems to be working.

I used 97% scholar blood
and recorded my attributes to look at the shift in spell power. it went from 38.1 to 38.4

I had similar results with 100% warrior. Physical Power went from 52.4 to 52.7. DPS on the dummy did go up.
