The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How do the stages of vampirism work?
1 of 5: You start out as a stage 1 vampire, and you'll revert back to stage 1 every time you feed.
2 of 5: To feed, sneak up to a sleeping person. Activate him when you can do so unseen, then choose the "feed" option instead of the "pickpocket" option.
3 of 5: Every time a day passes without you feeding at all, you'll progress to the next stage of vampirism (unless you're already at stage 4).
4 of 5: People in towns and settlements won't be automatically hostile to you unless you're at stage 4, so you can still talk to them, do merchant business with them, and so on if your current vampirism stage is 3 or less.
5 of 5: There are various advantages and disadvantages to being a vampire, some of which are stage-dependent.
