Hidden Quests and Randomization Update

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:
