the 4 is the life you steal when you hit with it (opponent looses 4 you gain 4) and the 1 is the degen you take all the time (the little down arrow pip, comes up to 2 health per second)

max on swords and axes is 3, on everything else that has it, it goes up to 5


and there is no other second number...so i dont know why people bother saying it

While the sword is equipped, yes. So you never equip a vampiric weapon until you're in combat.

If you salvage it succesfully, you can make around 40k+ for it ^^

If you had a 4:1 vampiric sword you would be the single richest man in the game...concidering the max for swords is 3:1

just use those weapons slots and switch it out when you arent in combat

Really? I think most of the GW community would like to know where these items can be found for Swords and Axes?

Perfect Vampiric Ratios
Bow Max - 5 to 1
Hammer Max - 5 to 1
Sword Max - 3 to 1
Axe Max - 3 to 1

Well, I've seen people selling them before.. might have been a typo or something.

But I've seen it.
