Summer is officially here and with it comes fresh excitement and adventures! Grimley the Tree Spirit has set up a small temple for the season and is determined to make the forest flourish. He’s at the Lycan Woodlands and has a selection of Rare Ritual events for you:

• Candy Hunt – The benevolent Tree Spirit has spread delicious Violet Candies across the Lycan Woodlands. Better grab a few before the season ends! Touch all 25 of the hidden random objects to get a Violet Candy that will give you 5 stamina each.
• Mushroom Hunt – The Tree Spirit needs mushroom spores to repopulate the vibrant forests of the land. Find 25 Forest Mushrooms and turn them in for Tree Tokens which can be spent on rare loot.
• Flower Conjuring – The Tree Spirit has chosen specific plots to grow magical flowers to help beautify and magically protect the forest. Acquire magical seed packets from the Tree Spirit and then go use your wand to bring flowers magically to life for a reward of Tree Tokens you can spend on loot.
• Gacha & Prizes – Head to the Piper’s Plunder mobile pirate ship, located in the water down below the Lycan Woodlands Wizard Tower. The mesh items for this event will be mod / trans and no copy, ideally thereby more useful for trading or reselling later.

The event is set up right near the Wizard Training Tower at the Lycan Woodlands

The event will run until July 21st, so if you want any of that loot you’d best get hunting!

*For those non-Legends players who would still like to acquire rare textures, at the end of the month for 1 week we’ll be putting Tree Tokens on sale for Lindens. You’ll still have to wear a Legends HUD and put the coins in your ‘hand’ to take spins, but that’s it. The coins will even out to our normal gacha spin price of 75L / spin (vs. around 50L / spin if you play the quests and earn the coins) but at least there will be an option for you.

***UPDATE: We have decided to extend this event by one week, so it will be ending Wednesday July 21st at midnight.

This time of year we always seem to feel a little restless, and we’re blaming it on the moon. Join us for our event Wolf Moon and dance the day away! Great music and giveaways throughout the event!

When: Saturday June 5th, 2pm-5pm SL

Suggested Attire: Wolfy, werewolfish, medieval garb, pagan, witchy loonie-moony fun!

Where: Bloodlines West

We’re excited to announce an official grid-wide Bloodlines Event – The Bloodlines 13th Anniversary Haunted Tour and Anniversary Party! Bloodlines is officially a teenager now and we’re really in the mood to party! Since it’s our lucky 13th we’re getting a bit spooky this year so if you want to decorate your Haunt location keep that theme in mind!

On May 7th you can tp to the party here: Anniversary Party!

The event starts now (April 22nd) and runs through Thursday May 6th at 12:00pm SLT. We’ll immediately be connecting participating Haunts via the website and the HUDs, so that you can easily travel from event to event, while discovering new Bloodlines-friendly locations. In the last week before the party, Mars and Lyle will be visiting participating locations to help with the final judging of the top Haunts, and we hope to see you there!

For Haunt owners, this event means a chance to raise awareness of your clan land, club, bar or RP area! The Anniversary Event will provide an influx of new visitors, as well as give you a chance to network with other Bloodlines friendly locations. Players will be able to vote on their favorite Haunts they visited during the week. The day after we have made our deliberations (Friday May 7th) we’re having an event on the Bloodlines sims, and we’ll give away the prizes!

To vote on your favorite Haunts, all you need to do is press the ‘Vote’ link next to the 13-year anniversary icon on the profile of participating haunts.

Prizes:

Anniversary Participation Rare – Given to anyone who opted-in their Haunt to the event. (Limit one per avatar)

Runner-Up Rares (Silver Crown) – Given to the best 20 Haunts (may be more or less depending on the quality of entries)

Top Haunt Rares (Gold Crown) – Given to the top 3 Haunts. These will also receive a banner on the Bloodlines homepage for a week following the event. (may be more or less depending on the quality of entries)

Getting involved is simple:

Location Owners – If you already have a Haunt, just log into your profile, Edit Haunts, and opt-in via the radio button for the 12th Anniversary Event. Make sure to use the Haunt Events calendar to schedule specific times for your events. We’re keeping the theme wide open – as long as your space is Bloodlines (or Legends) themed in some way, we’re excited to check it out!

Bloodlines players – The 13th Anniversary Event will automatically generate locations in your HUD, under the Haunt button. We’ll also make it clear on the website which locations are participating, so you should be able to easily find the next great location to visit!

On May 7th, we’ll wrap it up with an official party / awards ceremony on the Bloodlines sims where we’ll deliver all the prizes, so be sure to stop by. See you there, and thanks to everyone for making Bloodlines a vibrant RP community for 13 years running!

We are making a minor update to the Determined achievement based on feedback that we’ve received from the Bloodlines community. As it stands, if you stop pursuing this achievement and miss a day, but never check in again, your count will be maintained in the rankings. We are updating this achievement so that if a day is missed, counts are reset at midnight SL time instead of on a new checkin where more than a day has passed. This means that any players no longer pursuing this achievement that have counts greater than 1 day will be reset to 0 days in the rankings. It also means that if you miss a day, your count will be reset at the midnight following that day, and not on a later day when you check in after the missed day. Any level badges achieved will be maintained, just like always. We think that this suggestion from the community makes the rankings more fair because they will only reflect the players currently pursuing the achievement.
