Peace on Earth Hunt 6: Prizes 101-206

by DrFran Babcock

In my opinion, The Peace on Earth hunt is the best free hunt in Second Life™. If you have been following Desirée’s progress, as you should be doing, you know that she was unearthed some spectacular prizes, and she still has over 100 to go!

Out of respect for the creators of this hunt I am not giving SLurls to the locations of the hunt prizes, but I am telling you the names of the stores in which the prize object—a globe with three doves on it—can be found. There are hints for this hunt, and they can be found here: http://peaceonearthhunt.wordpress.com/poe6-hunter-guide/

That said, let’s conclude Desirée’s marathon of unboxing:

Picture One: Who says Christmas and Holidays have to be only red and green. This neutral skybox from Silent Woods is a great backdrop for a picture:

 Every once in a while a prize comes along that is so good that even my friends who disdain freebies have to go and get it. This Vintage Teal Gown from HUDSONS is one of those prizes. How can you resist?sit

This picture has another one of the things for which the POE Hunt is known, and that’s fun. Hanaya’s Home and Garden’s Rideau Canal Skating Shack not only lets you set up shop renting skates, but gives anyone who touches a nice set of animated skates. Here is Desirée, alongside the Hiro Canal in Varney, dispensing fun.

DrFran’s Alt Goes Hunting – Vintage in Venice Hunt

By DrFran Babcock

If you have never participated in a Second Life™ hunt, you are missing out on a big piece of SL popular culture. Not only do you get to find some pretty nice items, but you often meet people and make friends. Another added benefit is being exposed to stores and merchants about which you might not have known.

DrFran’s alt isn’t interested in all that. She just wants to have fun, and hunts are great fun. DrFran is busy getting ready for her vacation, and one of her stops will be the magical city of Venice. DrFran’s alt will stay home and she got to do the Vintage in Venice Hunt. In this hunt you are looking for a flat prim with a design in it, that is hidden somewhere in a long list of stores. This is a one Linden hunt, and each prize costs that much, but all of them are worth much more. The nice thing about this hunt is that it was made to be unisex. Thus, most of the prizes are home furnishings and vehicles. If there are clothing prizes, a prize is available for both male and female avatars (sorry hamsters).

A Selection of the Prizes

Desirée, DrFran’s alt, is very picky in her hunting. One Linden is not a lot of money unless you are not a premium member. However, if you disagree that the prizes below are not worth much more than one Linden, please let her know. At An Lema’s shop (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Alqualonde%20the%20Swanhaven/53/162/2743 ) you get a whole roomful of Victorian furniture for a prize. The two screens in the picture not only are texture change, but they fan open and closed on touch.

The bed that is the prize at HC Creations (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lucky%20Island/57/204/21 ) is one of Desirée’s favorites. It comes with a full menu of texture change options, all is shades of brown and cream, and a slew of couple and single poses, that are, I believe G-rated. She isn’t sure, because she couldn’t find a resident to test the bed with her. This bed is clearly a reflection of the fine work done by HC, and for one Linden it’s a steal.

The Venetian Earrings found at Elemental Jewelry (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22 )are a real complement to Desirée’s geeky beauty. DrFran noted that she will try to find a pair like that when she goes to Venice.

In the next picture, Sascha’s Designs (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ippopotamo/31/55/22 ) offers a comfy couch and love seat option, in the deepest Venetian red, while the dresser from Izzy’s Attic (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Upper%20Fenland/215/139/3062 ) is fun, because it has a menu that allows it to be open, closed, neat, or, as pictured messy with linens.

The assortment of benches from Resplendent Designs (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Moodle/155/157/32 ), seven in number, are perfect for your entryway. I can imagine you sitting and waiting for guests to come for a big party while seated on one of these carefully textured items.

Saved for last: If you know DrFran, you know she is mad for canals. The last prize shown for this hunt comes from Image Essentials (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Parameshvara/172/27/43 ), and is a gondola made for posing and picture taking. The pose menu allows for a gondola and as many as three passengers. It is a must have for you romantics, and canal lovers.

This is just a small sample of what’s available in the Vintage in Venice Hunt, and it is highly recommended for it’s relative ease in finding the hunt items, the quality of the hunt items, and the fun of seeing new shops and stores. Why not try your hand at a hunt?
