If you want to know more about cool freebies and deals in Second Life than what I’ve written on this blog, may I recommend the RyanSchultz.com Steals, Deals & Freebies group, a Second Life group I manage? It only costs L$50 to join. More information here.
May is here, and that means Second Life Syndicate is hosting its annual Scoop ‘n’ Score hunt all month long, with lots of great prizes to be had. free The Goods—if you can find them! The items you’re looking for are the small, swirl-shaped humanoid poop dolls pictured below. You might think these items are obvious, but the dark, dirty sewer maze they’re hidden in makes this hunt one of the more difficult! Read on for some tips and tricks to make the hunt easier (Or, you can hunt in Second Life too!) It got a little easier.
As I mentioned, if you are using a shared or basic environment, the sewer tunnels will be dark, making hunting much more difficult! Here is an example of the problem you are facing:
So the first thing I would advise you to do is turn on the lights! Simply click on the Quick Preferences button in the lower right corner of the Firestorm viewer (The one with the Firestorm Phoenix logo), and select Nam’s Optimal Skin 1 or CalWL from the Sky menu. This drug den is now: this:
The second issue is fog, which tends to obscure certain areas of the sewer tunnel maze. Now you need to do the following:
- Right click on the fog/smoke area and select ‘More’ from the pie menu.
- In the pie menu that appears next, click See More again.
- From the next menu, select Derender, then select Temporary.
- Repeat as needed (I had to do this 4 times to remove the mesh fog from this hole!)
Now my eyesight is finally good enough to find the poop containing the goods!
Here’s another pro hunter tip: Sometimes you’ll come across a very complex scene, like this mess of crates, barrels, and other junk.
Instead of using the camera controls to look into every corner, turn on X-Ray vision! In the Firestorm Viewer, press Ctrl-Shift-R on your keyboard. This will turn off the textures and switch to wireframe mode, which looks like this:
In wireframe mode, you can “look through” objects and find the unique swirly poop shape hidden behind them! When you’re done, press Ctrl-Shift-R to turn wireframe mode back off.
Now let’s take a look at some of the Scoop ‘n’ Score hunt goodies! In addition to the aforementioned gloves, Una has a few other gifts waiting for the brave sewer hunters, such as this cosplay jumper costume (which, as mentioned earlier, can be claimed for free from the poster near the entrance to the poop scoop hunt). This all-in-one costume is sized to fit Maitreya Lara and includes everything except the gloves and boots.
Another fun Barbie-like outfit features three Scoop ‘n’ Score hunt items.
- Cubic Cherry presents 14 different colored Gear Up helmets hidden throughout the sewer maze. This one is pink.
- The DB cosplay dress is a gift from Una (only for Maitreya Lala size). Like the previous costume, it is an all-in-one piece (including a scarf and a belt with pouch).
- DB cosplay boots were also a gift from Una (again, for Maitreya Lara there is only one size, but the feet can be adjusted to fit other brands’ mesh bodies with Alpha).
Another lovely gift from Una is a pink and green Dirndl-style peasant dress (also exclusive to Maitreya Lara):
Here’s a completely different look! This gorgeous red and black gothic ball gown is another one of the Scoop ‘n’ Score hunts. It’s called LaViuda and was gifted to me by Sweet Kajira. I paired it with a blue striped parasol gifted to me by Grasshopper Street. It comes in two versions (left or right hand poses), is adjustable in size, and can even be dyed! (I added a dash of gray to the parasol to match this gothic horror look.)
Zooming in on the face reveals two more Hunt gifts from Tristan Flinders (TF). The facial scars come from a package called Linea, which comes in BoM, Omega, LeLutka Evo, EvoX, and Genus versions. The damaged eyes come from another TF gift called Ami, which also includes various scars, black eyes, eye textures, and mesh eyes (Omega, LeLutka Evo, EvoX, and Genus versions).
Another gift is the Belle black ballgown with a HUD that changes the color of the gems. I used it with the second Scoop ‘n’ Score hunt item, the Demonslayer long black fingerless gloves from Normandy. I love this look, but unfortunately zero There is no information about the maker of the gown on the package, so I have no idea who made it! Oh, well.
There are also plenty of home and garden decorations to discover! One of Petrichor’s four gifts is this limited edition Summer Moon mirror.
This impressive and scary looking clown entrance came out of WLS (ground impact/LI is 23. We had to remove a large tree from the backyard of Linden Home to resurrect this guy!).
There are 30 pieces of furniture gifted by ChiMia! This includes the Mary Jane Hall Tree with built-in seating and storage.
Here is another gallery of ChiMia’s Hunt items. They feature a mix of furniture styles, from gothic to rustic to mid-century retro! Click on each thumbnail to see the full size of the photo and see the item name.
Happy hunting!
PS To save a lot of time and hassle from having to keep dragging my small army of alternate characters to the same hunting events, I usually write out a note card with the hunting prize description.Include what size the clothing gift is), and help you find your way by telling you the name and location of the hunting object. (Why hunt for a dress or gown if your avatar doesn’t have a size that fits it?)
If you are simply pulling out your hair, or just Hate If you want to hunt, join the RyanSchultz.com Steals, Deals & Freebies group in Second Life, where I share a series of note cards with brief descriptions of as many hunt items as I can, along with their locations in the maze.
The group membership fee is L$50, which I think is a reasonable price to pay for someone who essentially hunts for you 😉 And if you think this is cheating, then don’t buy the notecards! Some people enjoy hunting on their own without any help, some don’t.
NOTE: As I continue to find new items, I’ve been posting numbered update versions of my notecards in a row, and I’ve noticed that as the notecards get longer and longer with each update, some location SLURLs won’t open. So you may need to do a local search for the entity name or owner, or simply go back to an older version of the hunt notecard. Sorry! It seems that having too much text or too many SLURLs on a notecard just breaks Second Life. I’ve had this happen before when I made notecards to guide my small army of alternate characters through shops and hop events. It sucks, but there’s usually a solution.
I also post regularly in the group about other cool freebies I find at various shopping events across the grid, or when the Second Life stores I visit have a variety of freebies on their gift walls. Your L$50 will be well spent, I can assure you! And charging a commission means I am taking advantage of myself. Professional Free Fashionista! 😜
