Vampire dust is dropped by vampires and is used for summoning vampire bats. Players are recommended to wear a Holy symbol, since it greatly weakens vampires, but some players choose higher-powered amulets instead.
One excellent place to obtain vampire dust is by killing vampires east of the Abandoned Mine. Players with access to the bank in Burgh de Rott can bank quickly; partial completing of In Aid of the Myreque is required.
Some players with combat level 105 or higher prefer the Haunted Woods, since the leeches there are not aggressive to players at these levels. However, the vampires are more spread out in the woods, so more running is involved in hunting them there. The Haunted Woods also has a moderately close bank via Port Phasmatys' western entrance and can be accessed via the Fairy ring network. Partial completion of Ghosts Ahoy is required for access to Port Phasmatys.
Vampires can also be found in various parts of the God Wars Dungeon, but the remoteness and requirements for this dungeon make it less than ideal for dust seekers.
The price of vampire dust has fluctuated greatly over time. Before the advent of summoning, vampire dust have no use and little value. The price shot up over 1,000 coins once summoning was released. When the Soul Wars minigame, was released, the price collapsed to 300 coins. Vampire dust is a possible gamble reward in the game, which lead to increased supplies being put on the market. The price slowly recovered a bit since then. In recent weeks the price has soared for unknown reasons, perhaps the results of Merchanting clans or heavy demand from players training summoning. To date, the price of Vampire Dust is 945.
[edit] Trivia
- At the end of the climactic scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Count Vlad Dracula III turns to dust after he is staked through the heart and brought down by a crucifix. Vampire Dust is probably a reference to this.
- One of the different items that the Rowdy dwarf may ask you for in Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf.
