Warm Socks Hunts 2

Warms Socks Hunt 2 and Gacha Event
Fi's Hunts

This is an interesting event.  You have your normal hunt (which is FREE) and some of the stores have a Gacha Event that is part of the same hunt theme.  All items are themed around what is warm or makes you feel warm.  Not sure of the price of the Gacha's around as they will vary from store to store.

Here are my highlights from the hunt and Gacha event :)

My Favorite Item

X-Clusives Animations  Hunt Item

My favorite item this hunt comes from X-Clusives Animations.  This awesome fireplace is loaded with couples animations. Everything from casual like playing games or working on laptop to dances and cuddles! It gives you props to use with several of the animations or rezes props.  My only drawback to it was the bright blue vase and candles.  Doesn't match my loft and cant change it.  Its definitely a keeper!!!


Great Items


Cheeky Parrot Boutique Hunt Item

This is a cute outfit that comes with the sweater, socks and shoes.  The one drawback is that it doesn't come with pants.  I just grabbed a random pair from my inventory and I think they look great!  I would definitely get this outfit.




Cheeky Parrot Boutique Gacha Items

In the Gacha event they have these cute socks/shoes combination.  Not sure what I will wear them with, but I'll find some great outfits I'm sure.




Wicked Hunt Item


Very sophicasted and polished is this sweater and dress.  Blacks and grays so finding shoes to go with it is super easy.  Love this one!!!









Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes



On the left is one of the 2 hunt gifts and the right is one of the Gacha prizes.  Everything is super great.



Above is the tip jar as the hunt item.  Steaming cup of warm cocoa with marshmallows and cookies with a place for your photo.  Below are a couple of the prizes from the Gacha.  The Rare in the left one and Super Rare on the right pictured here are both animated.  Besides tip jars these make cute decorations. Great news... they transfer so you can give as gifts!!!














Sickly Sweet - Hunt Item

Beautiful fireplace for your home all year long.  Great fire and sophisticated look will look good in any style home.  Make sure you get this one.





This is not all the great items from this hunt, just a sample to get you excited.  Visit Fi's Hunts website to get starting location and all the hints you need. (click the Fi's Hunts Logo below)

What is a Hunt?

We all hunted for Easter eggs as kids... well a hunt in SL is sorta the same thing.  A group of stores from around the grid make a special item as a prize that is themed around whichever hunt they are in.  There are dozens of hunts going on just about every day in SL!  There will generally be a starting point and a poster that shows you what the object  is that you are looking for.  Inside each of those objects is a gift from that store and generally a lm to the next store on the hunt.

In the last couple of years I've seen more hunts run with a web site that has all the stores in order with lm's and the clues to where to find the item.  Clues can also generally be found at each store just by clicking the hunt object on the poster.

Hunts can be anywhere from L$0 - L$10, but I stick to hunts L$2 and under (remember $1 us is about L$240 so it's pretty cheep).  In each hunt there will be amazing prizes and junk you want to immediately delete.  It's still a pretty cheep way to get just about anything you need in SL from clothes to furniture and decorations, animations to skins.  You never know what you will get, but it's always fun to find out!  You can get a general idea based on the theme and what the store sells, but you never know.  LOL

It's also a great way to find out about stores you might not otherwise have heard of and see all kinds of neat places in SL.  I'll keep you posted on the hunts I do.  I won't tell you what to avoid or what I don't  think you need to keep as every merchant works hard and is already being generous be a part of  the hunt.  That is for you to decide, but I will tell you things I don't think you should not miss!

The Hunt and Hunters Resource Center is a great place to find all the current hunts and the ones coming up you will want to do.

Happy Hunting!
