Part II
Suction, while a seemingly hefty cost to the new pire, is a rather important power to get early in the game, as it can also be considered a power which pays ...

Can I use the transits when I’m getting Powers?
So long as it isn’t Celerity, yes. In other words, ONLY Celerity questing is effected by your use of a transit. You CAN use transits on ANY OTHER quest. Let ...
How do I take a screen shot/screen capture?
This is only a brief explanation, and I hope it makes sense.
What’s a clan/What clans are there/Where can I join one?
Ugh… I hate these questions. There’s always so much more to it than I, or I dare say anyone, can fully explain. Let’s start easy, though: What is a clan?
How does the street layout work?
First, you should get a map. The most recent one I have will HOPEFULLY always be available HERE for you to save.
What is the Graveyard for?
Well it is a memorial for the controller of the vampire Pazuzu. You can see when you are in the graveyard that below the map view is the note regarding the i...

The banks are your best friends. They hold your money safely away from the prying hands of thieves, they work all over the place in cooperation, and they don...
Can I get two powers at the same time?
Yes and no. It depends what the powers entail. If you are trying to do two quests at once, no you can’t. If, on the other hand, you are going to buy a non-qu...
How do I do this without getting screwed? (aka "I always get robbed before I can get the power!")
Well, you must plan. I used to post the locations to the FTA on a fairly regular basis and usually in a very usable format, and it seems that once my absence...
If I go to Guild #3, can I get them all at once?
Nope. Sorry, but you must chase down the exact one you want for the level of power you are after. For instance, to get the power Shadows 2, you can’t go to T...
Did the guild move already? Where is it?
It probably is still there. You just don’t know how to see it, yet. Like all the addresses given in The City, the actual location is always one square South-...
