About and uses

Haemalchemy, when broken down by definition, is the study of transmuting or modifying blood.

If a player attempts to read the book on haemalchemy, they will get the message, "This book seems far too complex to you at the moment." While the exact contents of the book are a mystery, it is known that a majority of the book is written in the vampyric language[1] and that it details their usage of haemalchemy in an attempt to increase the amount of blood received from tithing a human[2] and in strengthening their immunity to conventional weaponry.[3]

  3. ^ Flaygian Screwte in A Taste of Hope. Old School RuneScape. "As we're already aware, vampyres possess some form of immunity against our attacks. It starts off as only partial in juveniles and juvinates but by the time they become vyres they are totally invulnerable. This book implies that the vampyres immunity isn't perfect and that it can be overcome. It seems they were trying to improve this immunity."
