'''Legacy''' is a cumulative score representing the strength, depth, and activity of your character's family tree.


Legacy rewards players who build a genuine line of active descendants. It is available to every species and grows over time through weekly awards.
== Legacy at a Glance ==
* '''Direct children award 0 Legacy.''' They begin your family line but must create descendants of their own before the line produces Legacy.
* '''Grandchildren and deeper descendants award Legacy.''' Each generation becomes more valuable as the family tree grows deeper.
* '''Descendants must be active.''' A descendant must be alive and have at least 20% Dark Rating to qualify.
* '''Dark Rating affects value.''' A descendant with 50% Dark Rating provides half of their available Legacy value.
* '''A widening tree earns bonuses.''' You receive a Pyramid Bonus when a deeper generation contains more eligible descendants than the generation above it.
* '''Legacy is awarded weekly.''' The calculation occurs every Monday at approximately 12:15 a.m. Second Life Time.
* '''Legacy is cumulative.''' Weekly awards are added to your existing total instead of replacing it.
* '''Your status matters.''' Being Slain or in a Coma causes a penalty, while Hibernation freezes your score.
* '''Legacy cannot become negative.''' The lowest possible total is zero.
== Family-Tree Diagram ==
The following text diagram shows where Legacy begins:
<pre>
YOU
└── +1  Direct Children
    │  Value: 0
    │
    └── +2  Grandchildren
        │  Value: 50–100 each
        │
        └── +3  Great-Grandchildren
            │  Value: 200–500 each
            │
            └── +4  Great-Great-Grandchildren
                │  Value: 500–1,000 each
                │
                └── +5 and Deeper
                    Value: 1,000 each
</pre>
These values represent a descendant with 100% Dark Rating. A lower Dark Rating reduces the amount they provide.
== Who Qualifies? ==
A descendant contributes to your Legacy when they meet both requirements:
* '''They are alive.'''
* '''Their Dark Rating is at least 20%.'''
The following descendants do not contribute:
* Descendants with less than 20% Dark Rating
* Slain or dead descendants
* Descendants in a Coma or dead from hunger
* Hibernating or sleeping descendants
* Banned descendants
There is currently no minimum age requirement. A descendant's activity matters more than their age.
All species can contribute to the same family tree. A descendant does not need to be the same species as their ancestor.
== Descendant Values ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Family-Tree Depth
! Relationship
! Normal Value
! Pyramid Value

| +1
| Direct child
| 0

| Great-great-grandchild
| 500
| 1,000
|-
| +5 or deeper
| Later descendant
| 1,000
| 1,000
|}
The values in this table assume that the descendant has 100% Dark Rating.
== Dark Rating and Legacy ==
Dark Rating measures a player's activity during the most recent 28 Second Life Time calendar days.
* '''Below 20%''' — The descendant does not qualify.
* '''20%''' — The descendant provides 20% of their available value.
* '''50%''' — The descendant provides half of their available value.
* '''75%''' — The descendant provides three-quarters of their available value.
* '''100%''' — The descendant provides their full available value.
For example:
<pre>
Available Legacy value: 1,000
Descendant's Dark Rating: 50%
Legacy provided: 500
</pre>
Because Dark Rating changes over time, the same family tree may produce a different award each week.
== The Pyramid Bonus ==
The '''Pyramid Bonus''' rewards family trees that become wider as they grow deeper.
* '''Grandchildren receive their Pyramid value''' when there are more eligible great-grandchildren than eligible grandchildren.
* '''Great-grandchildren receive their Pyramid value''' when there are more eligible great-great-grandchildren than eligible great-grandchildren.
* '''Great-great-grandchildren receive their Pyramid value''
