Gacha Guild Event Almost Over

 

 The Spring Gacha Guild event is almost over. So if you want to take part in the event's Halftime Event, hop on over. Click just below the NPC Kitteh to get the hunt HUD, and click on him for instructions. 

  To get started with the event, you'll want to click the sign below me to get your HUD. It helps you keep track of your points! After putting that on you're ready to get hunting.
 You'll be looking for these scrap gears. The rustier ones are practically everywhere, but you can't expect the shiny new ones to be found so easily! You must be nearrr them to click them, and somehow magically they'll only give you points once a day.
  But no worries!
 They rrreset at midnight to give more points the next day. There's 15 super rusty cogs (10 points), 10 worn cogs (15 points) and 6 shiny new cogs (25 points) to find.
  Once you have enough points for the things you want, simply click the prrrize boards inside the airship, spend your points, and you'll be sent a wonderful gift for your grueling efforts. After this I would definitely recommend a nice nap. Maybe on a big pile of gold. Yeah, that sounds nice...

So how many points can you get in a day? A couple friends told me over they found over 400 points of gears. And they can be found in all kinds of places to more or less in plain sight to slightly out of the way. They're not just in the area opened for the halftime, but also in the vendor area and the area to explore around it.

The points you get can be exchanged for prizes on a board you'll find in a place opened by the halftime event. 

For some, the hunt is the real fun in the halftime event, and of course there's the exploring around in this steampunk-themed event with a few sky pirate ships. As for napping on a pile of gold, first you'll have to find it.

Gacha Guild Back in Second Life

 

The Gacha Guild is once again taking place in Second Life. This twice a year event offers numerous gacha items for sale. This event's theme is "Sailpunk: Steampunk and Sky Pirates." The setting was on a sky platform with a huge steel dragon curled around it. There were also some islands in the sky one could explore by flying over or walking over via a gangplank.

To those not familiar with what a gacha is, several items are up for sale in a vendor. When someone makes a purchase, they get one of the items at random. Some of the items may be uncommon or rare. The items can be given to others, though some such as avatars can only be before they're unpacked, and there are groups in which people offer to trade the items, including the Gacha Guild's own. 

The side area is fairly detailed, and offers some places to explore and see. One area is off-limits though, at least for now. Presumably it will open on Saturday March 13 when the Halftime Hunt begins. 

The event takes place on an Adult-rated sim, so child avatars are asked not to come. Despite the sim rating, no frisky behavior is permitted.

The Gacha Guild Is On

  The Gacha Guild, a bi-annual event, is once again taking place.  Twice a year, this shopping event takes place high above the Dew Drop sim. Numerous merchants have goods for sale as gachas. For those who don't know what a gacha is, the vendors have a number of versions of the item. Most are "common," but there are also a few "uncommon" and "rare." Often, they're packaged as vouchers, which can be traded between residents, or put up for sale on Marketplace where rares can fetch high prices.

There are avatars, avatar mods, and accessories up for sale. Among them is the Feral Crux by Caboodle, a four-footed version of the odd avatar with a following among some Second Life furs. Just add the voucher, click where it says "buy now," and unpack. The avatar can sit and dance, has a few different facial expressions, and the tail has a couple positions. 

The theme for this Gacha Guild is that of a haunted Carnival. About in the middle of the month, on October 16, the "Halftime Hunt" will begin with more items available. For more information, check out the blog: https://gachaguild.com/ .

On Thursday October 1 was the Linden and Mole jousting event, in which Abnor Mole won, followed by some sparing between the Lindens and Moles and some residents. On Friday October 2 was the Lindens in the Pillory, which was a "jail and bail" with a twist.

Three Shopping Events

There are a number of events this weekend. Two have been going on all week, and are ending soon. The third will go on to the end of the month. One is the "Art Walk 2020 At Gulls Wing Sailing Club." This is a Relay for Life event in which the money goes to the Gull's Wing Sailing Club team.

Art Walk 2020 At Gulls Wing Sailing Club starts on the 15th of March and runs through the 22nd of March. 100% of sales go to Relay for Life in Second Life!

36 (added 2 more!) RFL Limited Quantity kiosks featuring some of SL's best Artists have donated their art to find a cure for cancer. Come by and see Art in The Park gallery while you are deciding which artwork you have to have.

Dropping by, the artwork was not framed and on easels or on a wall, but in kiosks. One has to pay the amount of Lindens in to get the artwork. Clicking on the poster near the crosswalk one gets a booklet that tells you a little about the event. Among the artists whose works are for sale are Anibrm Jung, Slatan, and Silvermoon.  The event ends Sunday March 22.

And for lovers of gacha sales, the Gacha Guild spring event is taking place. The theme is "Spirited Japanese Festival."

Gacha Guild is back again this Spring, themed to honor one of the greatest Studio Ghibli movies of all time, Spirited Away! Get whisked away to a whimsical world in mythical Japan. Grab some gachas and even some gold when the bathhouse opens. Surely someone in there will trade you something good for it. Event is open from March 1st to March 31st. The hunt begins on March 14th!

The place has numerous avatars and accessories up for sale. As before, people can sell vouchers, rare ones sometimes selling for quite a bit, or giving them to friends. There is also a Halftime Hunt event that opened a few days ago. Getting the HUD for it, one looks for piles of gold which are worth points which can be exchanged for prizes. You can do this while exploring the area outside the market stall place, which has some trails and caves (which will tp you to other spots on the sim). Going about, I also found a mahjong table which looked playable. Although the sim is rated adult, the organizers have asked people to hide any exposed genitals. The event is open until the end of the month.
