I've had them. But they are very rare.

Yep, the recruitables from the B1 Blood Henge site, not a poptype.

If you're EA Arco or Lanka, you can easily seduce some of the blood druids (well, Lanka doesn't really need to).

Lore Masters also have a blood random.

Indy scouts are pretty cheap for blood hunting.

Now if we can just get Population modding...I've been wanting to stick an Independent population of Sombre's Warhammer Ogres in the game.

You could add "Ogre Playground" site after next patch. They won't defend the province they're in, but they could be recruited. It'd be nice to have a big mod which added all kinds of modded units (or existing units that could use some help, like drakes or fire lords). The problem would be in adding lots of sites without changing the gem economy too much in any direction.

Sanguine rods give a +4 to your level for hunting. Good hunting indeed.

Scouts depend on the age.

They're always cheap, but you need a ton of them to bootstrap blood with any efficiency. In EA, I consider myself lucky if I find an indy scout province in the initial expansion. And I do want to use some of them for scouting.

Rare site gives Circle Masters, 2D/2B - it's amazing for jumping into Blood.

Also Lore Masters get 3x100% picks of all paths, so good chance of single Blood on them, and small chance of 2B.

Thanks for the answers so far.
A related question - does a saguine dousing rod also have an effect on someone who has no magic at all? And what kind of effect does it have (blood +1 for hunting only)?

Sanguine rods only help blood mages.

Source?

I've never heard the rods give more than +1. Use seems to bear that out as well.

+4 to hunting level would mean that even a B1 mage never fails in a good province (over 5000+ pop and 0 unrest). Dousing Rods aren't that good.

SDR are supposed to give +1 extra for blood mages, and I think that's what the manual says.
