We’re bone-chillingly happy to release these Skeleton Skirmish themed Legends chests in 10, 25, and 50 pocket sizes. They function just like the basic Legends Resource Chest and Rabbit Rescue chests, and have the ability for texture change and Rare Texture collection.
There are “XXXX” chest textures in Piper’s Prize machine now, available by purchase with Skeleton Coins from the Skeleton Skirmish quest.
You can purchase these chests in our main stores below, or in any Legends affiliate vendor.
***For April only, if you purchase a Skeleton Skirmish chest, you will receive the “Battleworn” texture delivered to your Rare Library. Offer ends April 30th.
Also, the Hoard Trophy this month is for Dark Doubloons, so fight those skeletons collect those coins.
This month there’s two Limited Legendary resources: The Star Aquamarine and The Aquamarine Scepter which can be found on Level 5 of the Magic Map. The Scepter can be traded in for Aquamarine Coins at the East community chest, but (for the moment, anyway) the Star is just for rarity / collecting.
At the end of the month these resources will become un-findable again, at least for a year, so if you want one, get to searching!
The Magic Map can be used anywhere in SL, and if you don’t own a Granite Mine or have a friend with one, there are a few placed around the regions below:
Charlie Grenham the leprechaun has decided to get more generous with his wealth! If you purchase a map from his basket, it will give you a drawing he made of a location where a pot of gold is hidden. The maps are a bit crude, however, so it may take some work!
A few things to note: if you touch the map, it will chat to you the region that the drawing depicts. Also, there may be a clue in the drawing as to where the actual pot is located, once you arrive in the right area.
For those that remember, this was an event quest from some years ago, and we’ve revamped it to run continuously. As with the Rabbit Rescue quest, you’ll be able to find Leprechaun Gold via this quest year-round, but only during certain parts of the year will prizes in Piper’s machine be available for purchase with the coins. Prizes will always come back around, though, so don’t throw away that Leprechaun Gold!
Summary:
Year-Round Map Hunt – 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.
Seasonal Prizes – During March only, there are some rare textures available in Piper’s Prize Machine which can be purchased with the Leprechaun Gold.
Seasonal Treat Quest – During March only, you can find 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.
We’re starting a new texture series, “Birthstones”, which will change monthly. The container texture set will be available at our Garnet party for a slight discount, and then at the dome landings until the end of the month. The chest textures can be purchased with Garnet Coins in Piper’s Prize Machine, and those coins are available in the new seasonal quest (and we may do some giveaways of coins during the month as well). This set will be available until January 31st, at which time the machines will explode festively.
This is just a quick note to let you know we’re working on updating mesh not only in our items, but around the regions. We apologize for the dust and thank you for your patience! Also, the landing point for all future parties if fixed now at the Bloodlines Pavilion / Hub on North, and we’ve added a walkway displaying (almost) all of our previous events. Feel free to touch the pictures to pick up any past flyers you’d like to have for your collection!
We’re hoppingly happy to release these Rabbit Rescue themed Legends chests in 10, 25, and 50 pocket sizes. They function just like the basic Legends Resource Chest, but they have a nicer mesh and the ability for texture change and Rare Texture collection.
There are “Haze” chest textures in Piper’s Prize machine now, available by purchase with Carrot Coins from the Rabbit Rescue quest.
*Note: We won’t be doing trade-ins, but the original Legends Chests will continue to work just fine.
You can purchase these chests in our main stores below, or in any Legends affiliate vendor. Happy hoarding!
Today we are releasing three updates to Bloodlines that we are excited to share with you!
The Eternal Shrine
This update is intended to make the stat listings and rankings more fresh and current. What this update does is move old accounts into a separate stat ranking called The Eternal Shrine. Any players that haven’t logged in by wearing their Bloodlines HUD in over a year are moved to The Eternal Shrine, where they are ranked only among other members in the Eternal Shrine. Members in the main stat listings are ranked among other players that are currently playing, or players that have logged in in the last year. If you are in the main stat listings, you may notice that your rank in various listings or your generation has gone up, this is a result of some members being moved to The Eternal Shrine. If someone is moved to the Eternal Shrine, all they need to do to get back to the main stats is log into Second Life and wear one of their Bloodlines HUDs. Find out more detail in The Eternal Shrine Guide.
The Amnesty Program
This program constitutes a second chance for many accounts that have been banned over the years. Some people that have been banned in the past for violating Bloodlines Terms of Service or Second Life Community Standards over the years have been granted amnesty. Bloodlines has been around for 15 years now, and many people come to us asking to have their accounts reopened, having realized they made mistakes and wanting to correct them. What we’ve always said is that if we give one person another chance, we have to do it for everyone. This is us giving that chance to everyone. Well, everyone that we believe is safe to offer another chance. Accounts with especially egregious violations, such as deliberate, premeditated malicious activity, or that we believe constitute a danger to the community will remain permanently banned. This does not apply to region or estate bans, this applies to bans from the Bloodlines game. The accounts that have been granted amnesty have violations that we believe are unlikely to occur again. But, as always, we will be vigilant and respond to reports of violations of our terms of service and Second Life community standards by applying our standard moderation procedures. If you are banned and want to find out if you have been granted amnesty, all you need to do is wear your Bloodlines HUD. You will be asked to agree to the Terms of Service again, and once you do, your Bloodlines account will be automatically reactivated. If you are banned and you have not been granted amnesty, and you want to appeal, please send a notecard to Lyle Maeterlinck in-world, and we will review your case. We had a huge number of cases to review, and we may have missed people who should have gotten amnesty.
The Prestige Update
This is a fun one that we have had some requests for from the community. The Prestige Update allows you to “Prestige” or “Level Up” certain all-time achievements. Which means, you can keep your current levels, but stack them in a similar way to the daily achievements. With daily achievements, you can stack the levels every day, and now with all-time achievements, you can stack the levels each time you Prestige that achievement. Prestiged achievements are indicated with a numbered laurel across the top of the achievement badge, and each subsequent level has a new look. We have updated the combined top player achievement rankings to rank prestige progress and total prestige levels above total medals and total achievements. The benefit of this is that it will allow more fair competition in the rankings, and allow newer players a chance to climb all the way to the top of the rankings by using prestiges. This update won’t affect daily achievements, The Soul War, or family achievements, only certain individual all-time achievements. Read more in The Prestige Guide.
