News and Updates

We will send this out in a notecard in the Legends group as well, but here are the recent updates!

GHOST HUNTER GACHA

We’ve put out a gacha machine with the Ghost Hunter texture from the release of the Shards quest. There are texture for all 6 container types and the chances of getting them are even across the board. The machine operates like the Legends Banner machine and takes 2 Gold Coins for a spin. The machines will be on East, West, South and North and will be up for at least a few weeks.

RESOURCE TRADER CHANGE

Rumor has it that on Monday trader Tabitha Manx is going to change the resource she’s buying, from Broomstick Twigs to Iron Bolts. Cash in those twigs if you haven’t yet!

DEMON BADLANDS QUESTS COMING SOON

We have been making great progress on the Demon quests and should be announcing a release party for the Demon Badlands RP Area and Quests next Friday, so stay tuned for that! Nothing will be active there until then however so please do not come looking for Quests or activities until we announce it.

STAMINA PACKS, RECIPES & CONSUMABLE FOOD

We made Stamina Packs no-drop today, but for those that are saddened at their inability to share stamina with friends or minions, we have a Food crafting station in the works and will soon have consumable Legends Foods that will give stamina when you eat them. We’ll post here on the blog when that is out, along with more information about crafting Recipes and how to unlock them.

ESCAPE BUTTONS

We’ve added escape buttons to a few locations on the sims, which look like the Snail Shell that is above the Portal Doors that you use to TP around the sims. The Snail Shell button is now in the center of the Minotaur maze, as well as the top of the Wizard Tower, and touching it will magically zoom you back to the TP landing area. We will add more of these escape buttons as we find areas where they are appropriate.

HUD UPDATE – POCKET COMBINING

We did a behind-the-scenes update to your HUDs, and now if you touch two pockets filled with the same type of resource it will combine them into one pocket (assuming you have enough room in one pocket for it all). Hopefully this will make it a little easier to manage the Backpack inventory.

STAMINA FAIL & “DEATH”

Just another reminder on this – whether you had heard or not, up until last week it had been possible in the RP areas to avoid some stamina losses via creatures by just allowing yourself to go to 0 Stamina before encountering them. The system would tell you didn’t have enough stamina to continue, but you could keep questing / performing necessary actions with the monsters regardless.

Today we updated the monsters so they have the ability to eject you from the sim. If you take damage from a ghoul, or minotaur, or blister bramble etc. and you don’t have enough stamina in your bar to absorb the hit, you will ‘lose consciousness’ and find yourself waking up elsewhere (either on another of our sims, or else at your SL Home Location).

Happy Friday, Happy Questing, and have a great weekend!

Greetings Legends! We’re delighted to announce a new quest. There’s been a paranormal disturbance and you’ve been recruited to help solve the case!

You’ll need a wand (of any power) to complete it, and the rewards are listed above. This quest starts with Winter Lau on Mortal Crossroads. We realize that the sim is still jammed morning to night with people questing, and we are working as fast as we can to get the next sim open! Look for news about that next week.

* We have seen a dramatic slowdown in issues, but as mentioned in previous posts, if you are still stuck on a quest, most of them are moving smoothly now so it may just be your personal account / progress at this point. You will need to file a ticket so that we can un-stick you!

Summer is here, and that means time for campouts, marshmallows, and telling ghost stories around the cheery fire while in the background an actual serial killer stalks your friends through the woods one by one and murders them in cold blood. Ah, childhood! We invite you to an outdoor campout event of great music, costume contests, and Rare Texture giveaways.

Also: There will be a new style of freebie backpack available to those who have a Bloodlines Legends wand to wave!

When: Saturday May 15th, 2pm-5pm SL

Suggested Attire: Campout, anything ghost or spooky story related

We’re excited to release a new gacha set of rare textures, this time for all container types! This gacha set is different from the past ones we’ve done however, in that the machines do not take Linden dollars, they take Bloodlines Legends Coins. Each spin is 2 Gold Coins, and while there are not quests providing these coins (yet…) we have added two support NPC stations near each gacha location to assist. Tabitha Manx has a stand set up where she is currently buying Pigeon Feathers for coins, and next door the banker of Weston, Trillian Bardi, has opened a small money exchange where he will trade currency.

A few details to note:

• The machines work slightly differently than our normal gacha. Sit your avatar on them, and they’ll prompt you with a menu to put the gold coins into your Legends backpack ‘Hand’. Proceed on the menu, and you’ll get your spin.
• There is not currently an empty paint can delivered, we’re still working that out with the new system. If you desperately need some empty cans, file a ticket; while we’re still working this out we’ll deliver them to those who have gotten rares through these machines.
• We’ll keep these rare textures in the machines for a month.
• During that month, Tabitha may change what resources she is willing to purchase for coins.
• We do not plan on selling these textures for Lindens, ever.
• The gacha setups are on North, South, East and West (but not Midland due to lag / being at constant capacity from Questers).

We will also be releasing some new quests next week, as well as doing a little balancing which should make more coins available on the quests, so stay tuned!

With the first two weeks of Legends behind us, we feel like celebrating with all the people who have been so supportive and enthusiastic thus far! We invite you to a medieval fantasy event of great music, costume contests, and Rare Texture giveaways. We’ll also make some announcements about upcoming new quests, and what’s next overall for the expansion!

Also: There will be a freebie available to those who have a Bloodlines wand to wave, as well as Gacha machines with the Rare Textures which will take Legends Coins for spins, so be sure to bring your Legends equipment to the party!

When: Friday May 24th, 1pm-4pm SL

We’re excited to announce that the first release of Bloodlines Legends will be happening on our 11th anniversary, May 6th 2019!

This release will be Module One, which will include:

• Magic Map & Backpack HUD
• Treasure Chests & Market Barrels
• Collectible Rare Magic Wands
• Quests (including rare texture and mesh item prizes)
• Skills
• Achievements (based on the mechanics from Module One)
• Profile Updates

We’ll be having a party on the 6th to celebrate this release and our anniversary, with more details to come so keep watching this blog and the in-world group notices!

We have created a new set of Soul War Rare textures!

The previous Soul War Rares are now retired, congratulations to all the winners. Your Rares are now likely to be even more coveted since they cannot ever be won again.

With the new set, there are a few changes. Primarily, we’ve added Rare textures for the Barrels, Vessels, and Urns. This update adds 61 possible new Rare textures (all the achievement categories + Top Individual, Family Leader, and MVP awards) to each of the 5 types of container.

The second change, as mentioned in our achievement blog post, is that now each winner will receive just one texture, and this texture will be chosen based on whatever your dominant race is at midnight at the end of the month. So regardless of the Achievement category, if for example you are Demon dominant at midnight on the 31st, you will receive an Urn Rare Texture for your award.

As with our past Rares linked to achievements, any ties will be broken with a coin toss to see who will get the Rare texture for that category.

Good luck Soul Warriors!

Lords and Ladies, Gods and Goddesses, you are cordially invited to the court of Zeus for a most spectacular party, fit only for the Gods! Dust off those togas, don those robes, and Join us for an evening of great music, best costume contests, and Rare Texture giveaways!

When: Saturday, March 30, 12-3pm

Suggested Attire: Togas, Gods/Goddesses, monsters from Greek Myths (Cyclops, Gorgon, Centaur, Pegasus, etc.)

We’re stoked to announce the release of The Chrysalis and The Furnace! Now angels and demons can join the other races, hibernating in style.

These items function much the same as our other coffins, with the ability to send metrics to other avatars whether they be online or nearby.

You can find these beauties at Bloodlines South and Bloodlines North, as well as in our affiliate vendors as of today!
