Mid Hunt report

The Grid wide Valentine/Anti-Valentine Scavanger hunt is in full swing. So far I've had a pretty decent haul, which I will make posts about later (yes posts, there's just that many items). during my outings I've come across quite a few first time hunters. Here are just a couple of tips to help get you through baby hunts and monster hunts.

1) Get cozy with your controls. Camera controls, Flight controls, Inventory Controls. These are the backbone of any good hunting expedition. Learn them well. You're going to need them.

2)If you have a home base, periodically go there to decompress. There are alot of people trying to get into the sim at the same time. If you're like me eventually you'll just want to get away. If you haven't got a home base in game, back away from the computer and have a snack or just relax.

3) Speaking of the large number of people, expect lag. Lots of it. Not just the store but the sim, your client, even your computer. If you can't put a happy face on it step away and get a snack, or see tip number 2.

4) If you absolutely can not find something, first ask those around you. If they dont know where it is, keep looking. Then and only then should you message the store owner/designer. Should you have to do so, remain polite and calm.

5) Talk to people. You're probablly going to be seeing the same people over and over again. You could use the help and there is no such thing as too many friends. 

6) When you stummble onto a wonderful hunt, let your friends know. It's bad karma to make yourself look fabulous and leave them in the dust.

7)Periodically break from the hunt. And no I dont mean by going home. I mean periodically spend some lindens. First of alot of designers have excellent wares that (while their freebies are good) are of a better quality or more versatile than a freebie. And again, its just good karma to periodically  make purchases.

And the most important thing

8) Have fun. It's cliche I know, but when you stop having fun its time to go do something else with your second life.
