Season 12!

Tuesday, August 1st, 2023

We are pleased to announce Season 12!

This time around, there are three big things to take note of:

  1. DOUBLE TEXTURE REWARDS – We’ve added many more prize options along the path, as well as double the collectible texture rewards. There are also bonus Soul Reaper textures on intermediate steps, and a crown texture for season completion.
  2. SEASON LENGTH OF SIX WEEKS – This season is short, running only six weeks rather than two months. There are a few reasons for this, not least of which is so we can have a full six weeks of spooky season running up to Halloween.
  3. 15% EASIER COMPLETION – The points total for completion is 35,000 instead of 50,000! We may never go this low again, but due to the short season and a few other factors, we wanted to give it a try. That means you’ll get all the rewards, with 15% less time and activities to achieve them.

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.

Announcing the very first Nexta set of Soul Reaper textures! The Dark Future set will go great alongside your container textures, or in your favorite post-apocalyptic RP region.

*We’ve updated Reapers to v3.0 in order to accommodate the new collectible textures, so you will either get an auto-delivery upon rezzing your older Reaper, or you can get a free update at one of your Update Terminals.

There are machines at all 5 of our regions, locations below. This set will be available until midnight of Aug 4th, 2023 at which time the machines will explode.

Happy nexta-ing!

Season 11!

Wednesday, May 31st, 2023

 

We are pleased to announce Season 11!

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 Ten, will run from midnight (SL time) on June 1st to midnight on July 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. 

New Legends Recipes

Monday, April 3rd, 2023

To welcome Spring, we’ve set a few Cherry Blossom trees around the sims. There are ones by the domes, which are temporary, and one down in Angel Havens, which is permanent.

Once an hour you can harvest Cherry Blossoms for 5 stamina. They can be used in two new recipes:

Cherry Blossom TIncture (purpose TBD)
Cherry Blossom Puffed Pastry (Consumable)

The Puffed Pastry Recipe can be purchased from Gertrude’s shop.

Happy Questing everyone and have a great week!

The Gift of Giving

Sunday, December 18th, 2022

For the next month we’ve added a Collectible Texture delivery to every race HUD purchase. If you gift (or purchase for yourself) a Rage, Thirst, Virtue, Ascent or Torment HUD you’ll receive the correlating texture. The giveaways end on January 18th.

*The textures are delivered straight into your Rare Texture Library on your profile and do not come with a paint can delivery. You should be able to load them either straight onto a container or into an empty paint can in-world.

***If you make a HUD purchase with a gift card, the texture delivery does not work. We’ll work on updating this, but for now please be aware!
