[[File:RestingNexus400x400.png|thumb|Resting Nexus|border|left]]
The Resting Nexus offers protection from blood loss for a specified duration, currently set at 14 days. You have the choice to age during this period or remain unchanged. Opting for 14 days without aging incurs a fee of 250 Lindens, while choosing aging costs 500 Lindens. Aging occurs gradually, with one night passing for every two days, ensuring a balanced progression. This duration was chosen to maintain fairness, preventing abuse by creating alternate accounts solely for aging. The Resting Nexus provides security during periods of absence from the computer, yet players remain vulnerable to attacks.


'''In-world devices''' provide storage, recovery, monitoring, species changes, challenges, and other game services. This page is an index; each device has its own complete guide.

The Species Change Device allows you to change your species. If you're a vampire, you can switch to a lycan or witch, and vice versa. The cost to use the device is 2,500 Lindens. This price is set to discourage people from abusing the device and constantly changing species.

[[File:ReawakeningShrine400x400.png|left|thumb|Reawakening Shrine]]
The Reawakening Shrine is an animated device that revives a player. To operate the Reawakening Shrine, two players are required. The player who needs to be revived sits on the device first, followed by the player who will perform the revival. Two essences will be taken from the reviving player.

</gallery>
 
Elixirs are consumable items used to restore or revive your avatar in ''Descendants of Darkness''. These interact with the '''human feeding system''', not other players.
 
== Types of Elixirs ==
 
; Revival Elixir (Red)
: Used to fully revive your avatar after death.
 
; Breath of Vitality Elixir (Teal)
: Used to restore humans that have been drained by feeding (when their blood has been taken).
 
== Cost ==
 
Each elixir costs '''250 Linden Dollars (L$)'''.
 
They can be purchased at the '''Descendants of Darkness main land'''.
 
== How to Use ==
 
# Purchase the elixir:
#* Right-click the elixir vendor
#* Select '''Pay''' and enter '''L$250'''
# Take the item:
#* Right-click the elixir
#* Select '''Take''' to move it into your inventory
# Use the elixir:
#* Attach it to your avatar
#* Click the elixir in your hand
#* Select '''Open Bottle'''
#* Confirm by selecting '''Yes'''
 
Once consumed, your avatar will be restored to '''full health'''.
 
== Using Elixirs on Humans ==
 
Elixirs can also be used on humans.
 
* Once purchased, you can send the elixir to a human
* The human must attach the item
* They then use it the same way by opening and drinking the elixir
 
This allows you to restore humans that have been killed by feeding.
 
=Essence Chest=
[[File:EssenceChest400x400.png|left|thumb]]
The Essence Chest serves as a secure repository for your essence. Upon your demise, your essence would otherwise be lost, making it advisable to store it within the chest to prevent any loss. With the Essence Chest, you have the capability to deposit and withdraw essence at will. Moreover, you retain control over who can access your stored essence, with options to limit access to yourself, a select group, or open it to everyone. Additionally, you can track all transactions made with your essence through the transaction history feature. This provides transparency regarding who has withdrawn essence from your Chest. Finally, you have the ability to customize the appearance of your Essence Chest by selecting from various texture colors, including Gold, Blue, and Black.

The '''Overseer''' is a monitoring device that allows you to track yourself or another player. It can alert you when the monitored player is attacked, nearing starvation, or needs help while offline.
 
If the tracked player is attacked, the Overseer will send a notification in '''Nearby Chat''' and, if configured, to '''Discord''' through a webhook.

== 1. Donate Blood ==
The '''Donate Blood''' option allows you to remotely feed the tracked player.

* You must accept the debit permissions popup.
* The cost is '''L$50 per 0.500 liters'''.
