UPDATED! Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Polar Bear Hunt at Scandalize, Beyond, and LSR Moda

From now until Nov. 30th, 2019, there is a polar bear hunt at three stores in Second Life, which requires you to join each store group (for free) to pick up the hunt prizes:

  • Scandalize
  • Beyond
  • LSR Moda

As Scandalize normally charges you L$100 to join their group (and I assume the other groups do as well), this is your golden opportunity to join for free, and pick up lots of free gifts!

Here are just a few of the dozens of polar bear hunt prizes from Scandalize. This is the Sherry top and skirt in white:

Here is the Deryne top matched with the Dexi leggings with built-in heels:

Next up is the Amberle dress in purple:

Vanity looks sharp in this peppy pink Kya romper!

The Amande set in aqua consists of a top and matching skirt and belt:

Here Vanity is wearing the Aurora top and shorts in gold:

The Caiti jumpsuit features bare shoulders and extensive lacing:

Here are the Lydia top and shorts in pink:

The Anashara outfit in aqua consists of a jumpsuit with a separate chain belt, and a matching jacket:

Now this is the Erikeha outfit, consisting of three separate pieces: top, shorts, and tied shirt:

The Christy romper in orange has lovely lace detailing:

Here I pair two hunt prizes: the Kleine lilac top and the matching Kleine ruffled skirt:

Here Vanity models the Senuna leggings and top in green:

And finally we have the Scarlett gown in black (which also comes in a shiny version and the ombre version shown here):

And keep in mind that this is just one of the three participating stores! So get out there, join those store groups while they are free, and look for the polar bears; they are all quite easy to find! (Note that the polar bears in the LSR Moda store are smaller and harder to find.)

Don’t forget, after you join the Scandalize group, to pick up all the group gifts on their group gift wall! Scandalize has the biggest selection of group gifts of any store on the grid, so be sure and take advantage of their generosity! Remember, the hunt ends tomorrow, Nov. 30th!

UPDATE 7:13 p.m.: I sent out Coupon Clip to pick up all the freebies at Beyond and LSR Moda, and model them for you!

These are just some of the many prizes available for free. I counted and there are almost 70 gifts in total between all three stores! So drop whatever you’re doing, and come on down and do some hunting, before they all disappear on December 1st!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: The Spookzilla Hunt

This year’s Spookzilla Hunt (SLURL), with dozens and dozens of Second Life stores participating, takes place from October 25th to 31st, 2019. There’s a row of vendor plaques lined up along one street near the spawn point, where you can pick up each vendor’s hunt key to see what prizes you’re hunting for! Each vendor has a differently coloured and patterned ghost that you are searching for. And some of those ghosts are fiendishly hidden! Set aside a few hours for this hunt.

Please note that this is not a free hunt; hunt prizes vary in price from L$10 to L$25 each. But this year there are also many tables of free gifts from the various vendors scattered throughout the sim, so even if you don’t feel like hunting, pay a visit anyway!

Here is one of the hunt prizes by ANTAYA, the red and black Victorian-era Lamia gown, absolutely perfect for my vampire roleplay avatar!

The lace detail at the neck is particularly lovely!

Here’s all six of the hunt prizes from Baetik, a complete witch’s outfit!

The outfit pictured here consists of five separate hunt prizes:

  • a witch headpiece with horns
  • a matching witch choker
  • witch shoes
  • witch staff (with or without animation and on/off particle effects)
  • a long black witch’s gown with a high collar

There’s also a black crow with a hold animation, too!

This final look is a more traditional witch’s outfit from N.MA, complete with hat and flyable broom! The outfit comes in five separate hunt pieces:

  • Persephone Hat
  • Persephone Dress
  • Persephone Shawl
  • Persephone Broom (ridable!)
  • And a set of HUDs to allow you change the colours of the hat, shawl, dress, dress trim, and various aspects of the waist cincher to any of 20 different colours!

This is easily the most versatile witch outfit you could ever own! Here’s another couple of examples from the thousands of combinations you could create—good witch, bad witch, and everything in between!

The black pumps in the three pictures above are from a free set of women’s classic pumps by Marquesse, available from the excellent freebie store at Ajuda SL Brasil on the third floor (here’s the SLURL).

Here the SLURL to the Spookzilla Hunt sim. Happy Halloween hunting!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: The EarthStones Halloween Trick or Treat Mystery Hunt

Every year for Halloween, the EarthStones jewelry store (SLURL) hosts an annual Trick or Treat Mystery Hunt, where you can pick up some great deals on jewelry for both men and women. I must warn you that this is a challenging but rewarding hunt, with some beautifully-made jewelry as prizes. You are looking for Trick or Treat bags: orange bags contain prizes for the ladies, and purple ones contain both male and female items. Prizes are not transferable, so be careful!

There are 24 hunt prizes in all, hidden in various places anywhere on the EarthBound sim where the EarthStones store is located, both inside the store and outside in the surrounding landscape! (Please note that this is not a free hunt; only four of the hunt prizes are free, and the rest cost L$50, L$75, or L$99, which is still a significant savings over EarthStones’ regular prices.)

I am going to tell you the bag numbers for each of the items I am showing you, so that if you are only interested in that particular set, you can focus your hunt for just those items. I am not going to tell you where they are; I am just giving you the bag numbers to make it a little easier for you!. I rationalize this decision by thinking that this blogpost might drive more traffic—and profit—to the EarthStones store owner Abraxxa Anatine, who richly deserves it for her beautiful work.

I know that this takes a bit of the mystery out of a Mystery Hunt, but I absolutely hate spending Linden dollars on items without knowing what I am getting! I’m sure you do too, which is also why I am doing this. But I do make an exception for the annual Halloween hunt at EarthStones, because I know from previous years’ hunts that all the prizes are very high quality items. And all the other bags will still remain a mystery! A few of the items (ones not shown here) are Halloween-themed.

First up is the simplest—a pair of black diamond stud earrings and a matching black diamond solitaire necklace (two separate prizes, bags 20 and 21):

Next is the beautiful Lakshmi jewelry set in lapis (the earrings, necklace, and bracelets for both left and right arms, are all separate hunt prizes, bags 2, 8, and 14; there is a HUD to change the metals to bronze or silver):

Here are the Kanza earrings and necklace in red jasper (two separate hunt prizes, bags 9 and 16):

These are the Simply Put earrings and necklace in moldavite (two prizes, bags 10 and 22):

And finally, we have the gorgeous Glass Drop necklace and matching earrings in sapphire (again, two separate prizes, bags 4 and 11):
