News and Updates

Greetings Legends! We’re excited to announce a new set of Quests: Reward Riddles

This is a starting set of 30 visual clue quests (more may be added later) which can be done daily. They are randomized, so you won’t know which one is available to you until you check in with the Notice board on one of the 5 regions. The Reward Riddle of the day for you may be located on any of the regions, but you’ll be given a clear instruction / LM as to where to start.

Some of these Reward Riddles are pretty difficult (!) with nothing to go on other than the visual clue and the knowledge that the solution is somewhere in a particular region. However the coin returns are generally higher and you only have to complete one of the 30 Reward Riddle quests to get the achievement.

The Quest rewards are listed on the flyer. These Quests start at the notice board on any of the regions:

Angel Havens  Demon Badlands  Mortal Crossroads

Lycan Woodlands  Vampire Islands

We’re happy to announce some updates to Legends!

First, we realize it’s been a while, but we’re hoping to have more consistent updates with Legends going forward.

This batch contains a few new Quests, dozens of new Achievements, and a trove of new Recipes and Resources that can be crafted via the Crafting Stations.

The Research Station should be updated with the new mesh crafting recipes. Most of the new Recipes can be also found in the General Recipe section of the Legends Guide.

There are also of course new Legends War categories, as well as the end-of-month Rare Texture awards that correspond to each.

We thank you for your patience getting these updates out, and we hope to have more for you very soon!

For full reference information, check the various blog posts leading up to this, and check out the Legends Guide.

Happy Questing, Hunting, and Crafting!

*As with all of our releases, we do not award retroactive points or achievements. Progress on Legends War will begin tallying from the time of release onward. 

We are pleased to announce Season 9!

As with the last Season, you will earn points for doing challenges, the points increase a progress bar, and when you reach checkpoints you unlock rewards. Both Bloodlines and Legends activities are included in the challenges. The rewards are a wide mix including but not limited to: Bloodlines Products, Legends Products, Metrics, Resources, Rare Textures and Gift Cards.

The Seasons HUD is available for free in vendors at the landing areas in our regions and we’ll be doing a blast-out delivery to all current Bloodlines players. To be clear, you don’t have to have the HUD on to be earning progress, but you do need to wear it to unlock and claim your rewards.

For full reference information, check out the Seasons Guide. Some highlights are below:

SEASON PASS

There are plenty of checkpoints and rewards by default, but there are also bonus valuable items hidden behind ‘locked’ checkpoints. These can be unlocked by purchasing a Season Pass, which can be done either with L$ or with Season Pass Tokens which can be earned along the Season path of rewards.

REWARD OPTIONS

Certain rewards will have choices, for instance if one of the rewards is a Vial, when you collect it, you choose which kind of vial you want: Blood, Lumen, Human, Ether, or Ichor. Other rewards will have alternatives. For example, say a reward is the coffin, but you already own the coffin, you’ll be given the option to get some metrics instead.

METRIC CACHES & METRIC RESERVES

“Metric Reserves” can be given at various points, and these are metrics that you unlock immediately and can access at Refill Stations.

“Metric Caches” can be given at various points, and these are metrics that you store up and unlock if or when you finally complete the season progress bar.

CURRENT SEASON DURATION

The current season, Season Nine, will run from midnight (SL time) on January 31st to midnight on March 31st, 2023.

Happy achieving!

*As with all of our releases, we do not award retroactive points or achievements. Progress on Seasons will begin tallying from the time of release onward. 

**Please note, the Season Pass is not an in-world delivery, it will show as active on your Bloodlines profile page once you have purchased it. 

Hello Legends! These textures are available now in the Prize Machine, and will be at least for a month.

Hello Legends! We have an update for you. In addition the Zodiacs currently in the prize machine, we’ve added a new thing we’re trying out: Hoard Trophies. These are collectible container textures that are intended to show off their owner as someone who has collected a large amount of a resource.

The first one we’re putting out is for Copper Coins, and more to come! These textures are available now in the Prize Machine, and will be at least for a month.

Also, for a few reasons, we also shifted all the coins / currencies into ‘Level 0’ on the website to separate them from the rest of the Quest Resources.

This does not change the value of the resources at all, so no need to worry about your wealth decreasing. It’s just to make it easier for current / future Quests and categorization of coinage.

Happy Questing everyone and have a great week!

Announcing Achievement Wave 5, which will be arriving on January 1! This wave features over 50 beautiful new badges you can earn, level up, and show off on your Bloodlines profile! This achievement wave includes the following achievements:

Adherent / Sacrificer: Altar sacrifices for blood, lumens, humanity, cider, ether, and ichor

Indemnifier / Guarantor: Mandrake potion usage for all races

Soul Conservator: Collect and fill soul trophies (existing collections will count)

Connoisseur / Epicure: Drinking Vital Blood, Moonshine, Ether, and Ichor bottles, and Cider Cans

Relentless: A new achievement where you can check in with Determined wells each hour, with no reset for missing one

Curator: Collect rare container textures (existing collections will count)

Ravenous: Unique all-time attacks of all 5 types: bite, claw, sap, exalt, and corrupt

Aficionado / Trafficker: Filling metric containers at refill stations

Soul Trader / Trafficker: Unique soul trades

As usual, all of these achievements start counting at release (midnight New Year’s Eve), unless otherwise specified above.

All of these achievements will also count in the monthly Soul War except for the following: Conservator (Soul Trophy collecting), Curator (Texture Collecting), Ravenous (All-time unique attacks), and Relentless. Soul Trader will count in the Soul War, but will not count towards Soul War Medals.

Regarding Soul Rarity, Ravenous and Soul Trader / Trafficker will be added to the category of achievements where a max of 4 points is possible, along with the Frenzy and Berserk achievements.

Also, an update to Legends War

We know that it has been difficult lately to discover new regions in Second Life, because most regions have already been discovered. Being unable to get this achievement makes it difficult to get the Completist texture at the end of the month. So, we are removing the Discoverer Achievement from Legends War effective January 1.

The new Zodiac Scorpio 3 textures are available for $Lindens at the main store locations. These textures are currently in both L$ machines and in the Legends Prize Machine for Legends coins.

Well howdy partner! Feeling parched after a long trip through the dusty week? Come join us for a drink of something slightly strong than sarsaparilla in the land of the tumbling tumbleweeds to enjoy music, costume prizes and Rare giveaways!

When: Friday, August 6th 1-4pm

Suggested Attire: Western, cowboy/girl, horses, etc.

Where: Liquid West

Decor & Music: Fawn Madrigal |  Host: Nana McGillivary

UPDATE: There will be no scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, 3/30. Maintenance has been rescheduled for Friday, April 2, 1:00-1:30 AM SL time.

The Bloodlines system will be down for approximately 30 minutes on Tuesday, March 30 from approximately 1-1:30 AM SL Time (Pacific). We hope that the maintenance that needs to be completed will go much faster than this. We will have the Bloodlines system up again as quickly as possible. Please refrain from making purchases from vendors, and interacting with all Bloodlines items during this brief maintenance window. We will be announcing in the official in-world groups when the maintenance begins and ends. Thanks for your understanding.

UPDATE 1/11/21: We’ve added a “Completist” award which will go to any player that completes all the Achievements once during the course of the month! As with the other award textures, the container style will be based on what your dominant race is at the stroke of midnight at the end of the month.

UPDATE 1/4/21: Since the Quest Achievements are likely to have a large number of players tied for the #1 spot, we’ve decided for that category anyone who is in the #1 spot at midnight at the end of the month will receive an award container texture. This is only for the Quest Achievements, all other achievements will behave similarly to Soul War (1 winner only, ties broken by whomever scored the last point before midnight). Also, we believe we’ve remedied most of the display issues but if you still believe something is not displaying correctly, please file a ticket so we can look into it!

UPDATE 1/1/21: The Legends War is active and working, but we are experiencing a few issues with certain achievements not displaying progress correctly on the new individual and family progress pages. No data is being lost (and you can check this by seeing your achievement progress normally on your original Achievements profile page) but we hope to have the display issues in the new sections corrected soon.

UPDATE 12/30/20: The Legends War achievement counting will start at 12pm SL time on 1/1/21. Also, for now, The Legends War will only include monthly achievement tracking, not daily, as this post previously stated.

Starting on January 1, 2021, we will have a new feature added to Legends, the Bloodlines questing and crafting game. Right now, there are dozens of achievements that can be earned for completing quests, hunting, gathering, discovering lands, and crafting. But starting on January 1, we will also begin tracking these achievements on a monthly basis, in a similar way to The Soul War.

We’ll have various rankings, and you can compete to be among the top individual achievers, as well as the top family, or the MVP for your family. Just like in Soul War, at the end of each month, the top achiever in each individual achievement will get a rare container texture for that achievement, and the top 10 achievers, leaders of the top 10 families, and the MVP in the top 10 families will also get special rare container textures!

You can view the list of available achievements now by clicking on the ‘Achievements’ icon in the Legends section of your profile.

**Note, as with the recent addition of the Medals Awards (and as with any new award or achievement we release) we do not retroactively award these based on previous game activity. The main reason for this policy is that often we have not even been storing or tracking the data necessary to backdate awards prior to the new release, and it wouldn’t be fair to only give some retroactive awards and not others. So, we always start fresh from the official release date of the achievement or award to keep the playing field level.
