Newbie Resources: Freebies and Dollarbies

Many stores offer "freebies" and "dollarbies" which are items available for 0$L or 1$L as a sample of their products. Whether you're starting as a new player, and are not sure if you want to spend money in world yet, or if you're an established player and have found a new store, these are a valuable way to try out the quality level of the store and see if you want to spend money there.

You can also look on the marketplace for items between 0-10$L, which will show you a selection of what people have available. Look out for the word "demo" in the title, though. That means a modified sample of an item. I tried to exclude demos from search, but the Markeplace search dynamics aren't very advanced. Another source for free and cheap clothing is through the links on my main page - I have an entire Freebies section that links to blogs which list current items.

Below is my working list of freebie and dollarbie area, alphabetically by the first letter/number in a store name, so non-letter/number characters won't be taken into account for the purposes of this list. Keep in mind when using this list that stores fail and are moved regularly, and some store owners take out or change their store gifts, so finding one or finding the one I listed isn't guaranteed. Where multiple gifts are in the same general area (within view of each other) I've included one link; in stores where the gifts are spread out I have included multiple links. Also keep in mind that some stores have set arrival points, so you may arrive some distance from the store gift and have to walk there. Coming from the website, there should be a red arrow pointing the way. You can also look at the coordinates to tell you where the item is.
