Events

Styling Wizard:

Styling wizard is an event that happens every 40 days and lasts for 2 weeks. Each day you are given a prompt and you can style your friends, guildies or random players with their own wardrobes.
An event beloved by everyone, yet every time it comes around it causes controversy and rustled feathers in the LM community. Why you may ask? Because many people don't bother to follow the prompts or put in effort - they just throw random things on your character and call it a day to get the points while sneakily marking themselves as anonymous - so you can't even find out who committed the crime of leaving your model half naked and freezing, or perhaps dressed in gaudy 3 star clothes when you own an immaculate 6 star wardrobe! After all, there's no punishment for doing that, all you need to do is dress up two people a day in a hair and a dress for the minimum requirement. To help you avoid angering devoted players, I have a couple of tips.

1.:When choosing who to style, choose from the third tab, called Other Players. Refresh the tab until you come across the default avatar. These players are usually inactive, or so new they don't really care you didn't bother styling them well. Enter their wardrobes and snoop around, if they only have 3-4 star items, you're in luck! Simply throw random items to satisfy the daily requirement and mark send as anonymous. You still want to conceal your identity, because you never know...

If you love to troll instead, perhaps befriend the whales in your server and then lovingly dress them exclusively in 3 stars clothes. Please dye the clothes the most gaudy colors, as usually whales have 3 star clothes completely dyed. I recommend the palette called "tulip". Make sure to dye the makeup as well for maximum anger. And of course, don't forget to mark yourself as anonymous...

2.:Likewise, do not get angry if you receive a bad rec yourself! People love to goof around and some people just don't have enough time to dress up a character with tons of effort. Sometimes it takes me half an hour if I try hard to make a good fit with all the correct dyes on a different model. Relax and have fun!

3.:If you want to make an outfit that will stun the person you're styling - use dyes, and add makeup as well!!! It will always impress.

4.:Don't be an asshole and use this opportunity to steal someones avatar! I know I'm basically giving out ideas but it has happened in the past so it's not an unknown topic... Some users are very attached to their models and if they don't list their IDs it's courteous to not recreate them... A little trolling is fine but being an asshole.. well obviously that's less fine!!!

NPC buying items at your home event:

Sucks that this event always has a different name so I can't title it properly. This is an event that also happens about every 40 days and lasts for 13 days. In this event an NPC will appear in front of every user's home and it will buy 3 items for different prices. If you get a rare NPC - you will also get a special currency along with the maximum usual currency if you sell the specific item the NPC is looking for.

1.: The first tip for this event - if you do not get the rare NPC at your home, be not afraid! You can visit anyone else's home to find the rare NPC.

2.: How to know if your NPC is rare? Easy - talk to the NPC and see what it says - if it says it's buying the item for 240 currency and 10 of the extra currency - it's rare! You can also tell by the NPC's appearance, but considering it's different almost every event it's best to just talk to it.

3.: The best way to get this event done fast is to track the chat. Do your dailies and after you're done, look for anyone saying "240+10" in the chat, this means that person has a rare NPC at their home. Be courteous and leave their home a like, and give them a gift as well!

4.: Beware of liars! Some people will lie they have a 240+10 for NO reason whatsoever. If you happen to miss that and sell to the wrong NPC, you won't be able to finish the whole event as you need to do it perfectly every day! So always double check the NPC once you enter the user's property.
