Ongoing Nexta: Zodiac 4

As of last month we started into our new Zodiac series, the 4th we’ve done. For ease of keeping track of the releases, we’re attempting to do the new set on the 1st of every month (rather than on the exact dates of the Zodiac calendar) so please keep that in mind. They are in the Piper’s Plunder Prize machines for Legends players as well as for L$ at their respective regions below!

Season 12!

August 1st, 2023 by Mars Bracken

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.

The Seasons HUD is available free in vendors at our RP regions.

For full reference information, check out the Seasons Guide.

CURRENT SEASON DURATION

The current season will run from midnight (SL time) on July 31st to midnight on September 15th, 2023.

Happy achieving!

New Quest: Minotaur Menace!

July 18th, 2023 by Mars Bracken

Greetings Legends! We’re excited to announce a new quest.

Vincent Montague is ramping up his attempts to tame the beasts around Weston, and he needs your help in researching ways to deal with the Minotaurs in the labyrinth. He’ll reward you with coins which will be useful ongoing in Piper’s Prize machine, for mesh items and collectible container textures!

Just a heads-up, we are exploring some new mechanics with some of these quests, so please submit feedback via support ticket if you have suggestions, notes or ideas. We’ve already had the recommendation to let people know to try closing their Legends HUD inventory while ‘fighting’ the minotaurs, because accidentally spamming the inventory arrows can lead to overload.

Another note: to try and reduce the amount of menu buttons that appear when touching Vincent, we’ve moved the start of “Fog of the Foul Fungus” to begin by touching the glowing ghoul hand specimen on his desk.

There is another Collectible Reaper Texture with this quest, and a reminder: you will need up wear an updated Soul Reaper in order to utilize the new texture sets, but one should be auto-delivered when you wear or rez your Reaper. If not, you can retrieve a new one via our Update Terminals.

The current reward set, Viridian Vortex, will be in the machines until August 18th.

The achievements quest rewards are shown on the flyer. This quest starts with Vincent Montague’s Minotaur Bust on Bloodlines Midland.

*For non-Legends players who would still like to acquire rare textures and items, at the quest LM there is a barrel with Tauric Coins on sale for Lindens. You’ll still have to wear a Legends HUD to buy from the Prize Machine, but that’s it. However, note that purchasing coins is a more costly way to acquire items than by doing the Quest.

Limited Legendaries: Star Ruby + Ruby Scepter

July 6th, 2023 by Mars Bracken

It’s July, the month of the Ruby birthstone! As a result, there’ll be two Limited Legendary resources: The Star Ruby, which can be mined on Level 1 of the Granite Mine, with the Iron Pick. The Ruby Scepter can be found on Level 1 of the Magic Map. At the end of the month these resources will become un-findable again, for who-knows-how-long, so if you want one, get to searching!

The Magic Map can be used anywhere in SL, and if you don’t own a Granite Mine or have a friend with one, there are a few placed around the regions below:

Mortal Crossroads ~ Granite Mine

Angel Havens ~ Granite Mine
