Addendums and Revisions
Hospital: The hospital works rather differently than I stated in the Hospital post. It appears through testing that once you are in the hospital you remain there for approximately 1 hour, not until you log in again as previously suspected. I think this is good, because it keeps the players that are no longer playing as targets for the rest of us.
You can also continue to attack even when your down to just one hit point. Which normally means you will kill yourself in the attack. Keep an eye on your health when attacking and becareful to avoid racking up deaths on yourself this way.
The downside is there is no way to use the hospital as a respite from vampire attacks, like there is in Vampire wars.
Investments: They have changed the way investments work. These now increase in price as you purchase more of them, up to what appears to be a maximum where the income from the item equals 1% of the purchase price. This makes all investments eventually equal in terms of ROI. So no more buying hordes of coffins.
Boss Drop Rate: This has changed to start at 5% when you begin a tier with no mastery, advances to 7% when all tasks have level 1 mastery, 9% at level 2 mastery and finally 11% when you have achieved level 3 mastery. - Thanks to David Barentine for figuring out how this works and correcting my incorrect assumption.

Astral Invisibility added
I've added Astral Invisibility to the spreadsheet. Good News, if you want 501 astral invisibility it would only be $3006, instead of the $4008 you spent on Astral Vision. So just $7014 to be king of the hill.

Combat 4.4 - The formulas
Disclaimer: much of this info is speculation, and is subject to change. If you have seen information that disputes this, I’m very willing to listen and adapt. However, please try to provide examples or document your findings. Only by the combined experiences of the community can we improve our knowledge.
I’ve been really trying to pay attention to the formula over the past few weeks, which is why it’s taken me a while to get this out.
We don’t know a lot about the specifics for Reign of Vampires, however we do know something about vampire wars, which is another game that is very similar to Reign of Vampires in many ways. We can use that as a starting off point and adjust that based on reliable information and experience.
Here is what we know:
The combat formula for VW is as follows:
1) Combat Rating = SQRT((att+def)*Clan+Equipment Rating)
2) The Devs said in the dev chat that both attack and defense are both used in all battles, however Attack is factored more heavily if you are attacking, and defense is used more if you are defending. They did not give any specifics, but this runs counter to the VW formula, so we will adjust it.
3) Based on VW, the game will use the Attack rating of your best gear to attack, and the defense rating of your best gear to defend.
4) The definition of “Best Gear” to the game determined by the SUM of a piece of equipment’s attack and defense. We see this in the fact that the game will select Hypnotic Mind Manipulation when attacking over the Death Gun, although the Death Gun has a higher attack score.
5) Combat results are determined by comparing that Attack Rating vs Defense rating and adding a random dice roll. (this is seen in situations when the same target is attacked and yielding a differing number of wins and defeats)
6) The VW formula does not use a random dice roll to determine combat. Therefore we will have to engage in some speculation as to how the game factors this in, until we get more solid information.
7) Experience is determined by a random dice roll and not affected by respective level, clan, equipment or hit list.
8) Damage is determined by a random dice roll and is not affected by respective level, clan, equipment or hit list.
Formula.
Using the information supplied by the devs, we can make an educated guess on the formula. It will be amended as follows, and subject to further revision as we learn more.
Attacking Formula:
Attack Rating = SQRT((att+(def*.5))*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Defending Formula
Defense Rating =SQRT(((att*.5)+Def)*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Combat Formula (this is speculation)
Results = Defenders DR - Attacker’s AR + random roll.
If the results are positive, the defender will win, if the results are negative, the Attacker will win.
Example:
Marcus, A combat Vamp has the following stats.
Level 100 Skill Points = 627 (495 (5 per level after level 1) + 132 (1 skill point per 3 levels of mastery *44 tasks)
Attack = 295 (294 skill points)
Defense = 240 (239 skill points)
Health = 100
Energy = 60 (50 skill points ) – Minimum to do all tasks
Stamina = 25 = (44 skill points)
Marcus has his clan maxed out and 501 HMM, 501 BA, and 501 VA. For sake of simplicity we will assume no discoveries. So, we will calculating Marcus’ attack and defense scores as follows
Attack: (12525 (501 HMM) + 1503 (501 BA) + 10521 (501VA) = 24549
Defense: (12024 (501 HMM) + 6513 (501 BA) + 510 (501VA) = 19047
Now we have enough info to fill in the formula:
Attack Rating = SQRT((att+(def*.5))*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Attack Rating = SQRT (295+120)*500+24549
Attack Rating = SQRT (207500 + 24549 = 232049)
Attack Rating = 481.71
Defense Rating =SQRT(((att*.5)+Def)*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Defense Rating =SQRT(147.5 + 240)*500+19047)
Defense Rating =SQRT (193750 + 19047= 212797)
Defense Rating = 461.30
Now for an opponent, lets go to the other end of the spectrum. Angeline is an evamp who happened to be unfortunate enough to show up of Marcus’ fight list. A bit into her carreer, she decided to put a few points into att and def to keep from being a complete target. She also has her clan maxed out and the maximum of the 3 main abilities.
Angeline is also level 100, with the same amount of skill points, divided like so.
Attack =100 (99 SP )
Defense = 100 (99 SP)
Health = 100
Energy = 439 (429 SP)
Stamina = 3
Her attack and defense rating are as follows.
Attack Rating = SQRT((att+(def*.5))*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Attack Rating = SQRT (100+50)*500+24549 )
Attack Rating = SQRT (75000 + 24549 = 99549)
Attack Rating = 315.51
Defense Rating =SQRT(((att*.5)+Def)*Clan + Equipment attack Rating)
Defense Rating =SQRT(50 + 100)*500+19047)
Defense Rating =SQRT (75000 + 19047= 94047
Defense Rating = 306.67
So, if Marcus attacks Angeline, we will factor combat as follows.
Att AR – Def DR + RR
306.67 - 481.70 – neg 175.03 + RR = results.
As we can see the random roll would have to be more than the difference (175.03) for Angelina to win. I believe the random roll is between 1-100. If this is the case, it is impossible for Angelina to win this battle.

Astral Vision.
I updated the spreadsheet with the info for astral vision in a new Blood Orbs section on the Bazaar tab. This is now the most powerful ability in the game. It costs 40 blood orbs to get. If you wanted to equip your clan with one of these each, it would only cost you $4008 in real cash to get them. A bargain, eh?

Weekend Event
2 posts from the Devs:
Reign of Vampires Weekend Event: Double Task Mastery Reward! - For this weekend only, you will gain 2 skill points each time you master a task (instead of the normal reward of 1!) Enjoy:) (for those of you who have already mastered all tasks, we...9;ll be having different events in the future that will help you more)
We'll also be introducing unique items this weekend that you will be able to acquire with Blood Orbs, as well as some new free ways of earning Blood Orbs (signing up for the newsletter, etc.)
OK, I was really excited about the weekend event, but this doesn't help me (or most of the veterans) out at all, so I'm kinda bummed.
I haven't seen anything on the new blood orb items yet at all either. I will keep you all informed if I see anything. If you come across something, post it here.
Thanks!

Off FaceBook site
Reign of Vampires has moved off of Facebook. Here's the link.
http://games.rawrgamer.com/vampires/
Everything of mine is there and seems to be working fine. Let me know how it's going for you. Reign of Vampires can also be played on facebook as well. There was some talk about Reign of Vampires leaving facebook, but it seems as if that danger has faded!
Long live Reign of Vampires!
