Hidden Quests and Randomization Update

Friday, April 17th, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings Legends! We’ve made a few small additions that should add fun going forward: Hidden Quests and Randomization.

Hidden Quests will be smaller tasks or adventures that may not show up in your Quest Journal, but will give repeatable rewards for those in-the-know. The first of these has been launched today. In the Telescopic Troubles quest where you craft the mesh Root Elixir bottle and create a Root Elixir resource to heal a tree, afterwards the tree reports to you that, “if you try the elixir on random trees in the world, sometimes it will work and they will reward you”.

The first tree has been activated on Angel Havens. You must use wand-waving to reveal it, and then use a crafted Root Elixir to heal it, and it will reward you. This hidden quest is repeatable occasionally, and we will likely add a few more trees around once we’re sure this new mechanic is working smoothly.

Which brings us to the second small update: we’ve added randomization of loot to the reward that the tree offers, so that it varies how large or small the rewards is based on a random spin. Thus far in Legends the rewards have been predictable, and we’ll still have many quests where the reward is consistent. However for various things – damage, loot, some conversations – we’re hoping some randomization will make the adventures even more interesting and realistic.

So feel free to wander the forests of Angel Havens waving your wand, with a Root Elixir at the ready – and keep an eye out for more Hidden Quests and randomization mechanics in the future!

 

New Quest: Telescopic Troubles

Sunday, March 29th, 2020

Greetings Legends! We’re excited to announce a new quest, another in the Angel Havens RP area.

The Angel Orion, Steward of the Observatory, uses his enchanted telescopes to find and help people in need around the Angel Havens. He could use an extra hand with some of the more challenging adventures, and the citizens you help will be grateful!

The quest rewards are listed on the flyer. This quest starts with Orion  on Bloodlines North.

*UPDATE 3/31/20:

We had some players reporting issues with getting the Glow Bulb Seedlings to appear out of the ground. At first we thought this was due to the mesh not appearing correctly. We uploaded new higher resolution Seedlings, as well as recommended upping LOD settings to 2.5 on your viewer.

While we always recommend seeing SL as beautifully as your machine can handle, we think we tracked down the actual source of the complaints:

Apparently there was a misunderstanding that the Bulbs were to be found near the bases of the full-sized Glow Bulb Trees. While a few of them are in this area, the rest of the Seedlings are spread out around a much wider area. See the below image to see the zone to look for the Seedlings in:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, we had some tickets stating that the last tree, Horvac, was not responding to wand waves. We believe we’ve tracked this complaint down to a misunderstanding about how the wand waves work. Just in case you are not aware, there are 3 strengths of wave – Weak, Medium, and Strong. These can be chosen from a blue menu after touching the Wand itself, or (easier) they can be triggered by touching various spots on the wand icon on the Legends HUD.

Below is a graphic illustrating the 3 different types of wand waves. In addition, since we are starting to incorporate more Skill Checks in quests based on the various Wand attributes, included in this graphic is a reiteration of what parts of the wand are dictating the various attributes:

New Release: Crafting Stations 4

Monday, March 23rd, 2020

 

 

 

We’re happy to announce the release of Crafting Station Set 4! This includes the Tincture Table and Potion Station.

These stations already have some function for current Bloodlines Quests, and we’ll be adding quests, resources, and recipes as we go forward. They also have the ability to deliver mesh items with certain recipes, and we plan to add this perk to some recipes across all the stations so keep an eye out for those!*

We tried to keep the stations low land impact while still being an item well crafted enough to use as just rustic decor for your castle, clan land or roleplay area.

The stations are available in our stores at Bloodlines North, Bloodlines South, Bloodlines Midlands, Bloodlines East and Bloodlines West, and will shortly be available on the MP as well as in our affiliate vendors, with a refresh.

Happy crafting!

*Note: As crafting, recipes and quests develop over time, we must reserve the right to alter, add to or subtract from the current resources lists in the stations. We will try to do this only when it’s apparent that something is out of balance.

The quest rewards are listed on the flyer. This quest starts with Pylades on Bloodlines North.

A Word About Wands

Saturday, March 21st, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve activated the Wand Altar at the Angel Wizard Tower in the Havens RP area. But what does this mean? How is this different than the other Wizard Towers?

There are 4 parts to a wand (Handle, Gem, Stick, and Spirit thing inside the gem) and we made some parts that are cosmetically race-specific. You can see a complete race-specific wand sitting above each of the altars on their respective sims, and pictured here. These wands are pretty difficult to obtain and require a lot of luck, but they are definitely possible! They can only be tried for however at the Wizard Tower specific to that race.

Also, a side note in terms of wand powers and functionality – we realize there have not been an abundance of Quests or activities that utilize the various different properties of wands. We’re working on improving that as we add more quests in the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience as always!
