Pluto Memorial Hunt

I decided that it would be nice to run a small hunt on my store at Blorkus, so I hid 9 planets there. They are located in easy to find places, so the hunt should not take long to complete. Just be sure to check both my store and SHD store that is right next to to. And to find the pluto, you have to go beyond the stores to find the spot the dragon is guarding (You don’t have to walk far for this one).

Prize of the hunt is nice telescope that you can check at the front of the Iron Bird store.

To get started with the hunt teleport to the store and touch the sign outside. You will receive a HUD and instructions what to do next. Just wear the HUD and start hunting planets. After finding all nine, return to the telescope and touch it to receive your prize.

Zodiac Board

After a break that took longer than it was supposed to (you know how these things always go…), a new item has been created and set for sale. Zodiac board is beautiful board that shows zodiac ring and location of sun and moon on it. I have one set up as a wall decoration at Blorkus store, but one could use it as a floor or desk decoration too.

So grab your fishing gear and come fish at our Fishing Area.

Thynian Disks

Thynian Disks

From my latest expedition I brought set of obsidian disks with me. All of them have strange diagrams in them and some has unknown lettering in addition. One of them I recognize as a blueprint of a mechanical planetarium and two are clearly diagrams of solar system. Meaning of the rest I can not guess and the whole thing is complete mystery to me. I decided to call them to Thynian Disks, according to the jungle where I discovered them.

These disks are now available for people interested in peculiar items and strange mysteries. I have them set up in my workshop as a decoration and believe that they would work very well in ruins setting too.

Available as singe disks or pack of seven. Since they are copyable and modifiable, you can have as many as you want, in various sizes.

Hunts

There are often hunts going on in Second Life, they are different sized, differently themed and so on. The common thing is of course items that you can gather while exploring and trying to find small hidden trinkets.

Currently there is The Bunny Hop going on. A bit over 300 eggs are waiting to be discovered, each containing present and landmark to the next location. Some searching is required, but quite many of them are easy to find. The biggest problem I had was that some sims are so packed full of people that I just didn’t fit in anymore After trying couple of times, I always got in though, so no big worries there.

Another hunt, a bit smaller, but infinitely more interesting for me is Spring is The Air. On this hunt, I will not only be hunting, but also giving out. Yes, I’m actually participating this, and I’m super excited about it. Just couple more days until the hunt starts, so stay tuned and get ready to hunt. The planetarium I’m handing out is custom job and can only be gotten from the hunt. As soon as the hunt is over, there will be no further possibility to get it.

Fishing Area Open

Great news to all of those who enjoy 7Seas fishing. Iron Bird and .:SHD:. have opened a fishing area with some custom fish. The area is located at sim called Missing Beckett.

Antikythera Necklace

Antikythera Necklace

Antikythera Necklace is miniaturised Antikythera Device that you can hang around your neck as a fashionable decorative piece. On top of just looking really neat, it tracks locations of sun, moon and planets and shows current phase of the moon.

Small Heliocentric Model

Small Heliocentric Model

This small heliocentric model is my latest item in astronomy category. It displays motion of earth and moon around the sun in real-time. If that is too slow (granted, full orbit of earth takes one whole year after all), it can be run in accelerated mode where one year takes just a little over one hour.

Verdigris

I stumbled upon a really great looking sim today called Verdigris. Whole place is themed and build very well and the place is worth exploring a bit. I landed at a street high above the ground level, but quickly found my way down to the village (well, gravity gave me some help of course).  The thing that really caught my eye though was the clock tower with star map. Unfortunately it looked that the device had stopped and was not showing correct time anymore. There are some images after the cut, but I recommend to pay a visit there to see more.
