Sláinte! It’s that time of year again, when you must don some kind of green clothing or else suffer the pinching, spanking, and ridicule of your peers. The upside is that you also get kisses and booze! Join us this Friday for a cheerful evening of music, costume prizes and Rare giveaways.
When: Friday, March 19th, 2-5pm

There’s luck in the air and adventure afoot! Charlie the Leprechaun banker at Angel Havens finds himself every year aglow with extra magic during the month of March, and he’d like to share the wealth. He’s got different Rare Luck events for you:
In addition:
A new landing has been created temporarily for this event here at Angel Havens.
The event will run through April 1st, so if you want any of that loot you’d best get hunting!
You notice a small envelope slipped under your door! Opening it up you find the following message scrawled in strange cramped writing:
———————————
Hello friend,
—This has been my favorite time of year since I was just a wee spright of a fellow. I always feel my magic flowing strongly through my veins and as such I decided this month (and only this month) I will share the wealth, so to speak. I’ve hidden some of my favorite potions throughout the lands, ten in each area. They’re mostly outside, hidden away in little places, I hope you can find them all!
Yours in Magic and Mirth,
Charlie

Wow! Sounds like a really nice guy, you better get out there and start looking for the potions he shared, it doesn’t sound like they’ll be around for long!
Update 4/2/21: We have heard a lot of feedback from the community that the new Detective / Investigator Achievement is too difficult, when trying to find another player of a very specific race / status. We have updated the possible targets to be limited only to a given race, not a specific status. This should make this achievement much more doable, and we hope less frustrating.
Update 3/26/21: Because of the updates in version 5 of the Haunts, the current Voyager / World Travels achievement will be retired to a Legacy Achievement and replaced with Voyager 2 / World Travels 2, which will work identically. Retired achievements are now being referred to as Legacy Achievements, a previous version of this post referred to them as Honors.
Original post follows:
The following changes to Bloodlines achievements will start on 4/1/2021:
Legacy Achievements are old achievements that can no longer be earned. So, if you have earned badges on Detective, Investigator, Voyager, World Travels, or any of the Tempter / Summoner achievements, those badges will be permanently moved to the Legacy Achievements section of your profile on 4/1. This will change the total number of achievements that it is possible to get, so you will see the top number of possible achievements drop to 79.
In short, because the level of exploitation of these achievements is so egregious that they are essentially meaningless. We’ve observed that the challenges of these achievements are being circumvented by the use of large numbers of alts. We’ve tried various measures to try to suppress the incentive to use alts, but these have not been effective, and our last resort is just to retire the achievements. We apologize to everyone who made honest attempts at doing these achievements.
NEW MESH CRAFTING + NEW DEFAULT RESOURCES & RECIPES
———————————————————————————————–
We added a new mesh crafting recipe, “Gift Boxes #1”, which can be learned about a the Research Station.
To build it we also opened up some new default recipes on the Paper Press and Tincture Table:
– Fine Cardboard
– Wrapping Paper
– Straw Paper
– Gift Ribbon
– Palm Wax
WIZARD TOWER BACK DOORS
———————————————–
We added ‘back door’ TP shells to the bases of all the wizard towers. Now if you’d like to craft a wand but don’t want to deal with climbing stairs, you can touch one of these shells (usually somewhere outside the tower by the ground or on a wall) and it will zip you right up to the top:
POCKET ADJUSTMENTS
————————————–
To create less confusion (and free up space in packs and chests) we’ve decided to make the pocket stack situation much more uniform. Unless something is money (Copper Coins, Tokens, etc.) or a Stamina Pack (Humanity Pod, Ichor Ember, etc.) then items should have a stack size of 25.
This means that dozens of resources will be more stackable (iron cauldrons, buckets, idols, figureheads, etc.) but also mean that a few resources came down in stack size (Dust, Holiday Cookies and Treats, etc.). We hope that having things a uniform 25 will create less confusion for players and our quest-writers going forward.
We’ve released a set of new Cooking Station recipes. These recipes do not deliver mesh items, but they do give back more % of stamina when they are consumed. These recipes are all sold in shops around the various 5 RP sims, just ring a vendor’s Service Bell and see if they have one you want!
We warmly announce a gacha event for this season! With the exception of a few of the Tank textures, most of these have not been made available before.
We have put out both types of gacha machines this time – one that takes Linden dollars, and one that takes Legends Gold Coins. Reminder: the Legends machine does deliver a paint can, but the textures will not automatically load, you have to choose “Load” in the can menu to load the texture that you won.
There are machines at all 5 of our regions, locations below. This set will be available until midnight of February 28th, 2021 at which time the machines will explode.
Happy gacha-ing!
