Season 8!

December 1st, 2022 by Mars Bracken



 

 

 

We are pleased to announce Season 8!

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 Eight, will run from midnight (SL time) on December 1st to midnight on Jan 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 Prizes in Prize Machine!

July 10th, 2022 by Mars Bracken

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!

Online Container Replacements

June 23rd, 2022 by Lyle Maeterlinck

Update: see this knowledgebase article for detailed instructions on how to get container replacements online.

One of the most common support requests that we get is from players that have lost their metric containers and want replacements. We have just released a convenient website feature that will allow you to replace your missing containers yourself. In order to use it, first navigate to your containers through your slbloodlines.com profile. You can do this by clicking on any container icon under the ‘Items’ section of your profile. You will see a tabbed interface that shows all of the Tanks, Casks, Barrels, Prisms, Urns, and Vessels that you own. Click on an individual container in order to view the profile for that container. On that profile, you will see a submenu on the left side of the screen. On that submenu, you will see a new option labeled ‘Replace’. Select that option and follow the on-screen instructions in order to replace your container.

When your container is replaced, if it is full, you will be delivered a full container. If it is less than full, you will be delivered an empty container, and any metrics currently in the container will be moved to a special reserve called your Replacement Reserve. You can use this reserve to refill containers directly on the website. This is a separate reserve from the metric reserve that purchased metrics go into, and refills done from the Replacement Reserve do not count for container-refilling achievements. To refill a container from your Replacement Reserve, select the container on the website you wish to refill to go to the container profile, and select ‘Refill’ on the submenu, then follow the on screen instructions in order to refill your container.

Please keep in mind the following:

  1. Containers can only be replaced once every 30 days. So, when you register a new container, it must be at least 30 days old before you will be able to have it replaced.
  2. If you hand a container to someone or sell it, it will still appear under your account until that person rezzes the container. So, you will not have the container in your inventory, because you transferred it, but it will still appear on your profile, because our system can’t know that they have it until they rez it. Before requesting a replacement, please make sure you didn’t hand it to someone and then forgot about it, and if someone hands you a container, make sure to rez it as soon as possible so it transfers to your account.

Achievement Wave 6

June 1st, 2022 by Mars Bracken

Announcing Achievement Wave 6, which will be arriving on June 1! This wave features 48 beautiful new badges you can earn, level up, and show off on your Bloodlines profile! This achievement wave includes the following achievements:

Reaver : Achievement count is sum of River achievements in last 30 days. Level can vary up and down.

Warrior : At midnight SL time, current Reaver level is added to count, and count is kept permanently.

Reveler / Bender : Consume Shots.

Feaster / Raider : Consume apples.

Brewmaster / Bottler : Sell bottles and cans from vending machines.

Bartender / Tapster : Sell shots from bar taps.

Benefactor / Patron : Send metrics with coffins (and the equivalent device for other races).

Investigator / Detective : Due to popular request, we’ve brought back the original Investigator and Detective achievements (while keeping Detective 2 and Investigator 2).

 

As usual, all of these achievements start counting at release (midnight May 31st, 2022), unless otherwise specified.

All of these achievements will also count in the monthly Soul War. They have not been added to Seasons yet, but may be in the future.
