Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to Freebie Hunters! One of our favorite pastimes in Second Life is scouting the grid for fantastic hunts, sales, events and gifts from all the wonderful creators. We thought we'd share the wealth and showcase some of our finds in this blog, with an emphasis on the goodies available in various SL events and hunts. We do our best to show ALL items from a hunt/event and in the manner the creator intended, but this is not always possible.

***UPDATE August, 2018- We are still finding freebie/nearly free items to share with you, but due to RL time constraints, a lot of what we find is being posted solely on Flickr. If you would like to follow the events being posted there, here is a link to the album page for our account: Flickr Albums. These are not blog posts, but simply pictures of the gifts available. Thank you!

Thank You to all of the creators!

Kiyomizu Spring Treasure Hunt

Kiyomizu Spring Hunt
This was an interesting hunt TJay and I stumbled across. I hadn't seen much about it on the hunt sites, but this was actually a lot of fun. The hunt begins at the Kiyomizu mall, and runs through several of the shops there and also ventures out onto the grid to a ton of other stores. It was a little confusing at first, mostly due to the language barrier since neither TJay or I am fluent in japanese, but once we got it figured out, we had a great time.

There are floating "information boxes" scattered around the mall - you will want to click on one of them when you arrive there to start the hunt. It will take you to a webpage that has a list of all the store SLurls, how many gifts are at each stop (i.e. Tokoyo.Girl has 11 hidden all over their sim!), and it tracks which gifts you have found already. Without that page, you WILL get lost, because some of the mall shops have a sign, but no gift since the signs direct people to their main stores not in the mall.

In total, there are 70 stores and 81 gifts, but according to the tracking page, some people have found up to 83 - not sure if we missed a few extras or if the tracking system counts it more than once if you get the same gift more than once.

In any event, the "ninja cats" you are hunting are cute, and the gifts cover a broad range from modern to traditional clothing, some gorgeous furniture, and some really interesting scripted items like a hover craft and an inventory arranger. The hunt runs until April 7th, so be sure to squeeze in some time and take a stroll through this great hunt! Also - I did my best to get all the store names correct, but with the language barriers, there may be errors, and they are all mine. If one of these stores is yours, and I got the name wrong, drop me a comment and I will get it fixed ASAP. =)

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!

  1. Congrats for the blog, it's a really time saver for us *o* It's the best guide to know the best hunts that are on the grid =D
    Once I asked on a group if they had a blog with pics of the prizes... well, I was almost killed by them, LOL (they said it would be bad for some stores if people see the prizes and don't like, they wouldn't visit the store... but I believe if owners give quality things, it's certain that people will visit their stores, and even become regular costumers). You guys do an amazing job here, keep up the good work ;D
