So let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>Your first store visit will be to JStyle. Before you go there, paste <a href=\"secondlife:\/\/\/app\/group\/7e4ff865-ba7d-cc66-5d6a-ae5157ed5450\/about\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a> into chat and open your chat history. Click the link and join the group. BE WARNED: This group has a LOT of notices, so it&#8217;s a really good idea to disable the group&#8217;s notices, or else you&#8217;ll be flooded with IMs when you&#8217;re offline, and those might stop other inventory offers coming through to you.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re in the group, make sure your group title is active, then head to the <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Bylot\/9\/115\/3814\" target=\"_blank\">JStyle store<\/a> (it&#8217;s usually pretty busy). Not everything in here is free (even the stuff marked &#8216;group gift&#8217;) so take your time and look around. Most of the large pictures closest to you contain the current freebies. These include skins, shapes and outfits. PLEASE NOTE: the store changes the gifts very regularly, so you may not get this particular skin and shape, but all of them are excellent, so it&#8217;s worth your time clicking. Check out the side walls, too. Just hover your cursor over them and, if it doesn&#8217;t turn into a &#8216;purchase&#8217; symbol, then it&#8217;s a group gift.<\/p>\n<p>Keep going back every few days, because the gifts will change and you&#8217;ll be able to pick up even more items!<\/p>\n<p>Mar&#8217;s male avatar is wearing the Cesar skin and shape from JStyle:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sl4nowt.com\/blogpics\/denoob_guy03.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"677\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your second port of call is the Santo store. This used to be called Maschienenwerk, and &#8211; just like that store &#8211; it moves around all the time. So, if it&#8217;s not where the link in this post takes you, just search for it in-world.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, join the Santo group (paste <a href=\"secondlife:\/\/\/app\/group\/9caf743d-3c8d-3c59-1288-fa42921c7b87\/about\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a> into chat and click it, as before; it&#8217;s free!) then head to the store at <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Black%20Bottom\/247\/241\/34\" target=\"_blank\">its current location<\/a>. At the far end you&#8217;ll find various items of clothing (including mesh items), footwear, and even a fabulous photoreal black male skin. There are a few items on the floor in that area, too. Some are group gifts (you&#8217;ll need to make sure your group tag is active for that) and some are just set to buy for L$0.<\/p>\n<p>Mar&#8217;s male avatar is wearing the NOS Jacket in the image above. Below, he&#8217;s wearing the <em>Clay Jeans<\/em> in black (there are three colours in the pack) and the <em>Superstars Sneakers<\/em>. The sneakers don&#8217;t come with alpha layers, but there&#8217;s a comprehensive free pack of alpha layers <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.secondlife.com\/p\/Avatar-Alpha-Overlays-101311-update\/2312783\" target=\"_blank\">here on Marketplace<\/a>. Find the &#8216;foot&#8217; one that works best.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sl4nowt.com\/blogpics\/denoob_guy02.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"724\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, his hair is the Rave style in Skunk Blonde 2, by <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/\/101\/117\/24\" target=\"_blank\">MADesigns at the FabFree store<\/a>, his hairbase is from the free Hairbase 2 pack at <a href=\"http:\/\/slurl.com\/secondlife\/Covet\/171\/39\/28\" target=\"_blank\">Exile<\/a> (the Raven shade), and his eyes are the freebie <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.secondlife.com\/p\/SP-Eyes-Opal\/4000793\" target=\"_blank\">Opal Eyes by SavePoint<\/a> on Marketplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s about time I showed you blokes some love (um, not like that, though!) so here&#8217;s a De-Noob for Nowt post especially for the menfolk of SL.
