The body was “ordered”, so to speak. I could now use the time to get some clothes and made use of Groupgifts.
–>For the newbies: Groupgifts are small gifts that many stores give to their customers free of charge. Most of them are somewhat older but still very nice items that still fit the common mesh avatars.
To get these groupgifts, you have to join the store’s group and have the group activated.
Unfortunately, joining some groups costs money, but this pays off with regular purchases: group members not only receive regular information about updates and new items, but often also get a discount when shopping in the store.
So I entered “clothing” in the Second Life search and worked my way from one result to the next.
Wherever I found Groupgifts, I joined the store’s group if possible. Unfortunately, some groups cost money and since I didn’t have any yet, I had to do without these groups.
Of course, I could have visited one of the many freebie stores, but again, admittedly, my SL experience played a role here.
–>For newbies: Of course you get a lot for free in these freebie stores. Also clothing. These clothes are often very old and don’t always fit mesh avatars. They are often not made from mesh objects, but from real prims. This doesn’t always have to be a disadvantage, but it can mean that the clothing doesn’t fit properly.
When I joined the group, I was also given the opportunity to either use the “Lucky Chairs” or click on the “Lucky Letters”, which earned me more clothes.
I could afford to be a little picky. You don’t have to take everything that’s free. I have my own style and I would like to implement it as much as possible.
On my trip, I met Sarah, who had read the profile. We talked about the project and she gave MeshTestDummy three gift cards from Ewa Boutique. So Mesh was able to buy a few nice things.
[05:07] Sarah xxxxxx (xxxxxxx): do you accept gifts?
[05:07] MeshtestDummy: Yes. That's realistic. :) Newbies get gifts :)Thank you very much, Sarah!
