Welcome!

Hello. Thank you for visiting my quest thread! Recently, I completed my first dream avatar and a very long string of Prize&Joy item quests. I was very pleased to finish these quests. However, while I reflected over the process that I used to achieve these goals, I saw several problems that I wanted to address. The most significant problem was that I was using two quest threads. I had a joint one for my dream avatar and a second one for my ticket quests. I put a lot of time and effort into these threads, but I felt inconsiderate giving each charity that I visited 2 links. I'm looking for a fresh start with this thread. I plan on being much more organized during my largest quest to date. What am I questing for? Baby Seal Slippers! The next few posts will show my progress towards these items and other goals. There are also several opportunities for thread visitors to gain gold. I hope that you enjoy your stay in my thread. Donations towards my quest would be amazing, but I would be equally pleased by some nice "Good luck" messages in my thread. heart

My Quest!

Well, I finished my seal slipper quest much earlier than I expected thanks to Rainer! I put a lot of time into making this thread though so I have decided to quest for Fuzzy Penguin Slippers here. I've also created a more ambitious dream avatar that I truly love. Thank you for taking the time to read about my quest.
I've finally convinced myself to go after the item that I've had my eye on ever since I first joined Gaia in November '06...The Baby Seal Slippers! I still can't believe that I'm going after them. I'm one of those people that would rather have oodles of commons than one super expensive item, but here we are! You may be wondering what exactly convinced me to pursue these slippers. Well, I just finished my first dream avatar and I realized that if I could buy an outfit that cost nearly 300k in just 2 months than I could definitely save long enough for the one item that item that I truly wanted! I've been saving for the slippers for about 2 days before starting this thread. Here is my progress:

I really enjoyed my first dream avatar quest so I decided to base an outfit around the slippers. I will be questing for the other items after I buy my fuzzy penguin slippers. However, donations of some of the smaller items would be really wonderful. heart

My Prize&Joy Sidequest

Well, it's finally happened. My multi-tasking habit in real life has spilled on to Gaia! xd For awhile now, I have been doing sidequests, in tickets, while working on my main quests. I have developed a cards and slots addiction and a thirst for Prize&Joy items. Tickets and/or game token donations are greatly appreciated. I'm currently questing for the Parisian Wig. I don't like to change my hair on Gaia because I'm a very, very, cheap miser always saving for quests. Anyway, I really love wigs and MC's like the mythic and elemental hair that allow me to change my look often. I'm looking forward to having the Parisian Wig as part of my wardrobe. This is the largest ticket quest that I have ever attempted.

Change of plans! A lot of people have been telling me not-so-nice things about the Parisian Wig. Now, I will be attempting an even more difficult quest for the Joker Hat black-white!

Change of plans..again! I'm in love with the newest Prize&Joy addition. I just have to have this plumeria headpiece. This is less expensive, but still my largest ticket quest ever! hehe

Quest for a Charity

Earlier this summer, I created this mule account. I've been planning on opening my own charity for quite some time and now I finally have a clear plan written out! There are going to be tons of monthly contests and I hope that I'll see you all there. I hope to open up later this summer.

Although I finally have a clear plan for the charity, there are still several things I lack. First, there is the necessary funds. I am not going to open the charity until I've saved 100k on this mule. At the moment, I only have a little over 27k. I also don't have many items. What I have is mainly from the daily chance and only fit for my newbie pack donation plan. Any donations towards my charity would be extremely helpful and should be sent to this account, Ursula Merkle.

Charity Fund:

(Last Updated 7/26/2007)

I also need banners for the charity. I do not know how to make banners. I always just pay people to make them for my quests. However, I would truly appreciate any banner donations. The name for the charity is "The Jig is Up!" and it will be giving donations to other charities, questers, and newbies. If you need any more info before making a banner, please do not hesitate to ask.

Owning my own charity is one of my most treasured dreams on Gaia. Any help would be wonderful. Even just some advice or game items!

Wishlist!

These are my 10 most wanted items that cost under 4k or less. I'm posting this because, unlike my last dream avatar, most of the item in the outfit that I am pursuing are expensive monthly collectibles so I don't expect much help with them. However, while I work on my dream avatar, I won't be able to update my wardrobe with commons.


1. Blue Strapless Bra 560 gold
2. Soft Blue Underwear 700 gold
3. Sun Daze Golden Dress 1,750 gold
4. Green Beret 2,099 gold
5. Ballet Toe Shoes 2,200 gold
6. Purple Pinstripe Vest 2,620 gold
7. Lavender Floral Apron 3,850 gold
8. Sacred Leaf 3,875 gold
9. Yellow Torque Shades 4,000 gold
10. Orange Torque Shades 4,000 gold

Trade-Up

I decided to hold a trade-up in this thread just to make things a bit more interesting. I love trade-ups and I have participated in many. They are a fun way to donate because you get something back in return instantly. I've only hosted one trade-up in the past and it wasn't overly successful. There were only 2 trades... Black gloves for Android Prosthetics and then Android Prosthetics for a G Buckle. I think that we can do better this time. Also, this thread will be running a much longer time. :]

A trade-up involves trading an item for an item of a lesser value. Just send me a trade with the item you would like to swap labeled "trade-up" and I will give you whatever item is currently available.

The first item up for trade is an Enchanted Wooden Trunk worth approximately 1,150 gold. Send something of a slightly higher value and it's yours! Surely, you have 1 item worth more than 1,200 gold that you can spare.

Lotto Info

I've decided to host a lotto from this thread. I will be selling 40 tickets for 300 gold each. The grand prize will be 10,000 gold! I will be making 1,000 gold for my baby seal slipper quest and 1,000 gold to pay for the banner contest prize. Once all 30 tickets have been sold, I will use Gaia's random number generator to select the winner. So if you want to show your support for my quest or get a shot at an easy 5k, please buy tickets.

Note: I was considering making this a lotto with 40 tickets costing 300 gold for a 10k jackpot. I was just a little worried about participation. Feel free to post your opinions in the thread. Maybe I'll change this lotto or do the 10k one next time. ^_~


I went ahead and changed it. A 10k prize is better. Enjoy!

Banners

I don't know how to make banners... They are such a big help though! I'm going to hold a little contest to get banners for this thread. After I get 5 banners (Can all be from the same person. I don't care!), I will put up a poll. The creator of whatever banner gets 20 votes first will win 1,000 gold! Please make me a banner for this thread. :]

Yay! First banner from The.Maddest.Hatter! Thank you!

Avatar Art

I'm also questing for avatar art. If you like to draw and you don't feel like donating gold or items, an art donation would be really appreciated! All art goes into my journal. Art that is small enough will also be put into my siggy.

You'll see some of my favorite pieces of art that I have been given on the first page of this thread.^^
