News and Updates

Spring is officially here and with it comes fresh excitement and adventures! Jasper Windsong was flying his airship when magical winds ran amok. He’s landed on the Mortal Crossroads and has different Rare Spring events for you:

• Carrot  Hunt – A new breed of carrot has been spotted growing on Midland! They seem to be magical, better grab a few before the season ends! Touch all 25 of them to pick a spring carrot that will give you 5 stamina.
• Egg Hunt – Rabbits from Pleador hibernate in brightly colored egg-shaped pods, and the magical winds keep blowing them out of storage on Jasper’s airship and into the lands about. Find 25 Rabbit Eggs and turn them in for Carrot Coins which can be spent on rare loot.
• Rabbit Rescue – Some of the Rabbit Eggs have hatched in the chaos, and the bewildered rabbits are running around in need of rescue. Craft an Empty Egg, find a burrow and use your wand to rescue a rabbit and earn larger coin rewards. *This is a challenging quest so see the bottom of this post for tips on how to do it.
• Gacha & Prizes – Head to the Piper’s Plunder mobile pirate ship, located in the water just below Jasper’s airship at Mortal Crossroads.

He’ll have more exciting quests in the coming weeks as well!

The event is set up right near the Wizard Training Tower at the Mortal Crossroads.

The event will run until May 1st, so if you want any of that loot you’d best get hunting!

*For those non-Legends players who would still like to acquire rare textures, at the end of the month for 1 week we’ll be putting Carrot Coins on sale for Lindens. You’ll still have to wear a Legends HUD and put the coins in your ‘hand’ to take spins, but that’s it. The coins will even out to our normal gacha spin price of 75L / spin (vs. around 50L / spin if you play the quests and earn the coins) but at least there will be an option for you.

*Rabbit Rescue Tips*

This quest can be tricky to complete, and is unfortunately more susceptible to lag than most. Here are some tips and tricks to know in order to help make it a smoother process:

• Use the smallest wand wave. It’s a quicker wave (so you can do more) and also creates less visual chaos so you can see the rabbit.
• Any wand will work, the rabbits don’t have a power requirement.
• You need 3 successful waves near a rabbit to rescue it. However, if the rabbit goes underground and you have to rez a new one from the burrow, that new rabbit will ‘remember’ that you made progress and you can pick up where you left off.
• The rabbits are set so that if they are stuck in one place for 5 seconds or more, they’ll teleport back to the burrow area.
• The rabbits are set such that if they run around for 1 minute and aren’t caught, they ‘go underground’. Just rez another one at the burrow to keep going.
• Lag does affect these, so in bad conditions the rabbit unfortunately may not fully register. If you’re standing right over it and waving and no effects seem to be happening, wait for the rabbit to go underground and try again by touching the burrow.
• Last but not least, if you are really stuck and lag is preventing rabbits from registering for you, try another burrow! There are 10 of them over 5 sims, and at any given point you should be able to escape the lag storms that occasionally plague these lands.

Finally, if you feel there is something truly amiss you can always file a ticket and we’ll get you sorted out one way or another! Thanks for your patience and happy rescuing!

We added 3 new quests to the “Novice” flyer on the Notice Board in the Mortal Crossroads: Runar’s Rumblings, Swirling Supplies and Tool Troubles. These are relatively easy quests that also help teach a few concepts or interactions in Legends. They are repeatable (at either 24 or 48 hour intervals) and are included in the Legends War now.

Another issue presented to us by users was the fact that attaining a first set of Iron Tools was an ordeal for a new player. We attempted to partially remedy this by introducing a cheaper set of Flint Tools. These tools cost about half as much as the Iron version, but also have half the Durability (50 total) and also do not harvest all the upper level resources that the metal tools do. Hopefully however they’ll be useful for a player just starting out.

Flint Adjusments + New Ingot:

As a result we had to make Flint Bricks (basically ingots) and to make those be easy enough to access for lower level players, we had to make an adjustment to the Flint resource.

To make Flint Tools easily repairable, we needed Flint to be a 1000 / Common level resource. It previously was at 350 / Rare however, and we realize that decimating the value by 2/3 would probably make some of you unhappy. So, we compromised by renaming the current Flint resource to “Slate” (keeping the 350 value) and creating a new Flint resource that is 1000 / Common, which can be mined on the Granite Mine.

We realize this may not be a totally perfect solution, but we did our best to preserve the resource wealth of current users while still adding this accessibility for new players.

We also are adding a “Flint Arrowhead” resource to the Level 1 map so that players can smelt those into Flint Bricks if they wish.

Other Quest Adjustments:

Due to sometimes challenging overlaps between quests like Flyer Flier and all the other quests that intersect with Olaf, we made the call to have a few quests now start with items nearby the NPC rather than right on them. So for example, Flyer Flier now can be started by going to touch the “Help Wanted” sign in Olaf’s. Secret Society now starts by touching an Elder Emblem sitting on a table next to Baron Kinross, and the Elusive Amulet starts by touching a framed picture of an Elder Amulet that Patrick Sawyer has inside his stall.

If this solution works for people, we might do some more of this over time so that you don’t get quite so many blue menu options when you run into certain busy NPCs.

There’s luck in the air and adventure afoot! Charlie the Leprechaun banker at Angel Havens finds himself every year aglow with extra magic during the month of March, and he’d like to share the wealth. He’s got different Rare Luck events for you:

• Clover  Hunt – There are patches of clover all of Angel Havens, touch them and collect a 4-Leaf Clover to turn back in to Charlie’s Chest at the event landing to collect Leprechaun Gold.
• Map Hunts – Use Gold Coins or Stamina to purchase treasure maps that Charlie has hand-drawn. There are 25 randomized maps and each depicts a crude drawing of a specific spot somewhere in the 5 regions. If you can find that spot and wave your wand, a pot of gold should rise up, rewarding you with anywhere from 5 to 50 Leprechaun Gold.
• Gacha & Prizes – Head to the Piper’s Plunder mobile pirate ship store behind Charlie’s home to use Leprechaun Gold to take spins on Rare Container Gacha machines as well as use Leprechaun Gold to purchase mesh holiday items.

In addition:

• Seasonal Treat Quest – Find 50 (!) Stamina-building treat drinks scattered over the 5 regions. They’re hidden in random objects and decor, you just need to touch the right thing to find the drink. See the previous blog post.

A new landing has been created temporarily for this event here at Angel Havens.

The event will run through April 1st, so if you want any of that loot you’d best get hunting!

You notice a small envelope slipped under your door! Opening it up you find the following message scrawled in strange cramped writing:

———————————

Hello friend,

—This has been my favorite time of year since I was just a wee spright of a fellow. I always feel my magic flowing strongly through my veins and as such I decided this month (and only this month) I will share the wealth, so to speak. I’ve hidden some of my favorite potions throughout the lands, ten in each area. They’re mostly outside, hidden away in little places, I hope you can find them all!

Yours in Magic and Mirth,

Charlie

Wow! Sounds like a really nice guy, you better get out there and start looking for the potions he shared, it doesn’t sound like they’ll be around for long!
