Tips

Vampire Cure is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. If the Hero is bitten by a vampire, contracts Porphyric Hemophilia, and does not cure themselves of the disease (using the same methods by which they could cure any other disease) within three days, they will become a vampire. While this is normally a permanent condition, it is possible to cure the disease even after becoming a full vampire (Wikia, 2015)

To get the blood, use the dagger provided by Melisande to stab any Argonian in the game. There are a number of ways to go about this:
- Assault or murder an Argonian. This will result in a bounty if witnessed.
- Fight one in the Arena.
- Find a hostile Argonian in the wild, such as a marauder archer in a dungeon.
- The Dark Brotherhood quest The Renegade Shadowscale entails killing an Argonian. If it has already been completed but Scar-Tail is still alive, it's possible to return to Bogwater and stab him there. Also, the Purification quest is a good start.
- The Argonian at Peryite's Shrine won't fight back, due to being in the trance.
- There is a cave north of Bravil called Veyond Cave which contains several Argonians.
- Seed-Neeus, the owner of Northern Goods and Trade in Chorrol, is essential and will not die if attacked.

Doing so will reward them with a decent amount of gold - 1,000 or higher, as the amount is leveled.The cure potion may now be consumed safely.

Tips

With the official Vile Lair add-on, after upgrading it, it is possible to cure vampirism at any time using the Font of Renewal in the Vile Cloister and the Purgeblood Salts found near it. This can be done as many times as desired. This does not finish the Vampire Cure questline, or remove it from the quest log; it simply cures the Hero's vampirism.
