Thirsty Thursday: Bloodlines Updates

Two recent blog postings at Bloodlines describe the latest happenings in the world of vampires and lycans in Second Life.

First is The Hunt. This hunt requires a HUD. You can then access the 150+ items all over the grid worth over a reported 30,000 lindens. Here is the link for the hunt hints.

Finally, information on the highly anticipated,  The Haunt, was published. This feature is for attracting Bloodlines players to your club, shop, bar, etc.

Thirsty Thursday: Refill Stations

.:[ BLOODLINES REFILL STATIONS ]:.

(Refill stations can be found at Liquid Frontier and Liquid East)

To use the refill stations, you must first purchase blood, lumens or cider from the vendors nearby. Resources purchased this way will go to your "Reserve" on you proflie in your cellar, and will be available to refill into your containers.

Once you have some Vital Blood, Lumens, or Cider in your Reserve Account, you can use it to refill your containers at any Bloodlines refill station.


To use the refill station, you need to be wearing a Refill Key. Refill Keys are free, and you can get one by clicking the Refill Key vendor near the refill station. If you use the station without wearing a Refill Key, the refill will still work, but your tank won't update with the new amount.

 If this happens, you can get your tank to update by re-rezzing it, or by drinking from it or filling it. Once you are wearing your Refill Key, and you have purchased the metric that you wish you refill, follow these instructions to use the refill stations:

Click on the refill station, it will give you a menu asking you to confirm that you want to use the refill station. Click "Proceed" to confirm.
Make sure the container you want to refill is rezzed within chat range of the refill station. Click on your container, and then click "Select" on your container menu.

If your container checks out, you will get a menu that will give you options for refilling your container. Select the amount you want to fill, or 'Max' to fill the container to the max (or up to the amount that you have available). Or, you can select 'Other', and follow the instructions to select a different amount.
Once you select an amount, your container will automatically be refilled from your reserve account.

Here are a couple things to note:

Metrics in your Reserve Account don't contribute to your wealth.
Reserve Accounts can only be accessed through refill stations. You can't move metrics into your Reserve Account from existing containers, you can't drink directly from your
Reserve Account, and you can't move metrics between Reserve Accounts on different avatars.
Having metrics in your reserve account won't prevent you from being destroyed by the Curse, just like having metrics in containers doesn't protect you.
Essentially, Reserve Accounts don't affect or interact with anything else in the game, they just give you a convenient way to refill empty containers.

Thirsty Thursday: Bloodlines Apples

Bloodlines Apples are the most important product for the Human Blood Doll in the Bloodlines game on Second Life.  A fairly simple concept once you get the hang of it.

My Blood Doll, BigBootyJudy, will show you how it works in this video:
