Some of the blood rarity levels make very little sense as far as the uniqueness of the blood, like how faun blood is just as potent as Amberite or Patryn blood. Then there is the matter of the trainers either being hostile, in an extremely remote location, or both. | ||

One of the best things you can do if you are in this guild is to set your spells up to triggers/macros. This cuts down a lot of typos of the long spell names.
Also, seek out instructors. We have some odd skills that aren't taught in a lot of places. Our best instructor is Antonina, but she is often in far off planes. We can also learn a lot from Helborg, Mok, Norij, and Bercilak.
It also helps to have blood foci. Every blood focus we carry boosts our favour, which increases our spell potency. Here's a list of things that I have found raises favour.
- Shrunken heads
- our guild athame (wielded boosts even more)
- armour enchanted by a reaper
- the chalice from Bishop Rordigan -- This actually reduces favour, but is indeed a good blood focus.
- The Horn of Calais from Bartziluth's horde (also reduces favor)
- the eyestalk that Antonina wears
