Insomnia and 1 hour for restless sleep has given me something interesting to work on. So either during my lunch or after work I'll share my finds.

It's nothing major but it's neat to me and my sleep deprived brain lol

Okay I bring forth icons and names! Unfortunately what I discovered only allows me to view the icons and names :T

Thumbnail	Name	Images/Notes (if any)	MP id	Viewable?
	Gilded Holly Candle	Unreleased recolor of Holly Candle. The Gilded Holly Candle crown was released for some reason. Was first leaking in the Cash Shop announcement for Gambino's Golden Treasures.	15245	Not viewable in MP or Avatar Builder
	Easter Diedrichs	All poses except what was possibly the first pose was scrapped and instead combined to create Easter 2k12 Flock of Diedrichs. Below are the other scrapped poses and their names. Easter Diedrichs (i am diedrichs) , Easter Diedrichs (Lavender) , Easter Diedrichs (Orange) , Easter Diedrichs (GrunnyGreen) , Easter Diedrichs (Mint) , Easter Diedrichs (Violet) , Easter Diedrichs (Yellow) , Easter Diedrichs (Blue) , Easter Diedrichs (Red)	86365, 86567-86583	Not viewable in MP or Avatar Builder
	Xmas 2k9 Overseer's Makeshift Airship	I've only been able to find the icon. No equip poses have been found. Scrapped item from the 2009 BOO vs SIN event.	48133	Not viewable in MP or Avatar Builder
	Diamond Tennis Bracelet	Dropped from the the tennis update in the Jock Strap (based on location in MP). * Like the Tennis Bracelets that did get released, the Diamond version was going to have a 2nd pose (bracelet on the right)	25397	Not viewable in MP or Avatar Builder

Ai no Sensou

bubblegum skin

yellow dog skin (Similar to Vampire Queen Skin, icon is lost). Assuming like the other skins it became Banana Smoothie

Clan Colors: Red (tabard)


Clan Colors: Dark Red (tabard)


Do note that none of these, with the exception of the 1st pose of
Ai no Sensou, are visible in either the Avatar Builder or MP.

[foodie]

And fun fact, this item can fully be viewed/tried on in MP.

And while the icons for the Conductor Hat are currently not visible in MP, the example Avis are visible.

I can also get the names of the no longer visible paper items if you'd like. And sorry I didn't code the first link, I'm doing all of this on my phone and I don't feel like getting the icon

this is incredible, thank you so much! i'll 100% be adding these to the main post once things slow down a bit irl ♥

[Odd Cinderella]

I need some of these newer items! emotion_omnomnom

[Princess Arcee]

ngl barring some copyright concern which lbr gaia's never worried about, i'm shocked they haven't released it yet- they even have a pink recolor for luka's version, so i'm not sure why they wouldn't release the OG

Updated with both the items mentioned by foodie (thanks again!), as well as a new incentive- since it's been a while since the last push to find screenshots and/or icons of missing items, I'm offering a bounty:

1M: Screenshots of the joke tektek items, the cancelled Pistolera poses, and/or screenshots of Fondue the Chocolate Bunny's original description.

5M: Screenshots of the original description for any of the Bannded shirts.

Let the hunt begin!

Funny enough I was trying to see if I could somehow find at least the icons for the Pistolera bonus poses.

Also there's a few new things I want to show as well as some screenshots but I need to finish coding some of them

What's up with this item?

What's up with this item?

up until around 2004, items were genderlocked on gaia- while almost all of them have since been updated to work with both genders, some super old items are still genderlocked. you can tell which gender the item works on by the male/female in the item name!

fun fact, bruteforcing genderlocked items onto your avi actually used to be the way people did the "invisibility cloak" trick- when you force male items onto a female avi (or vice versa), it tries to pull a value that doesn't exist for that item and just loads a blank space instead! the same goes for bruteforcing paw items onto human bases (nowadays it just gives you an error message saying the item couldn't be equipped)

When searching for "2007 christmas," three broken items appeared:
https://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/1000312
https://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/1000300
https://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/1000302
I don't know what these are (or were) and why they show up under this search despite being untagged. Are old event items often purged from the site?

they were placeholder listings to test items that were used in the 2007 flash game, they were released + the old listings were purged from the site entirely. the broken listings used to show up in search results until around 2019, i removed them from the guide whenever they stopped showing up in search results.

bit of a weird one- was there ever an announcement about the name change for the gender bender/gender swap potion? webarchive mp listings don't work after 2015, and i just noticed it this morning when the mp search for 'gender bender' didn't work emotion_facepalm

As far as I could search there was no announcement (maybe it happened after an AtS?) but the name change happened this year sometime between January 11th and March 9th.




I also find it interesting that they increased the price for it some time after March 9th so it's now 100 plat instead of 1 plat. Thank goodness I have like 10 and I don't even need them anymore since you can save gender bases in your closet
