Beck Bucks are Now AUTOMATED
That’s right! No more textures… now introducing the Beck Bucks CARD (huzzah!!!)!
Step 1: Get a Beck Bucks Card!
Visit the :: Exodi :: Main Store and click the Beck Bucks kiosk. This will give you a Beck Bucks card! Wear it to register your card, and start earning Beck Bucks! Every NEW Beck Bucks cardholder will receive 10 Beck Bucks just for activating their card!
Step 2: Buy!
As of June 1st, 2009, Beck Buck earning is now AUTOMATED when purchasing any Exodi merchandise! If you are a Beck Bucks cardholder, purchasing from Exodi will earn you points that you will be able to redeem for FREE products! For every $100L you spend in Exodi, you will earn at least 1 Beck Buck.
Step 3: Collect!
Collect Beck Bucks from your purchases and redeem them for :: Exodi :: merchandise! Every Exodi merchandise purchase you make will add to your Beck Bucks balance.
Step 4: Redeem!
To redeem your Beck Bucks, click on (or right click and select “Card…”) any Exodi merchandise item. A dialogue menu will display with menu options. Selecting “Beck Bucks” will give you the Beck Bucks option menu. Click “Redeem” to redeem your Beck Bucks for the product you’ve clicked! It’s that simple!
IMPORTANT NOTES
If you CURRENTLY HAVE Beck Bucks *TEXTURES* (from the old Beck Bucks system) and would like to apply them to your Beck Bucks card, please visit the Exodi Main Store for instructions on how to do so!
1. Once you are a Beck Bucks cardholder, you are *not* required to wear the card in order to gain Beck Bucks from purchases OR to make Beck Bucks redemption purchases. However, keep in mind, you will also not be able to keep track of your Beck Bucks total! It is recommended that you wear the card, if for no other reason than to see how pretty it is (I worked hard on that thing, dammit! :P)!
2. Beck Bucks cards ARE NOT transferable. You may not give away your card or available Beck Bucks.
3. If you *LOSE YOUR CARD*, you may pick up another one from the Exodi main store Beck Bucks kiosk.

Build Your Own Fatpack at EXODI
Want a deal on a skin fatpack, but hate paying full price for lots of skins when you might not wear all of them? Have no fear! The Build Your Own Fatpack Card is here! :D
To use your card:
1. First, you must purchase a Build Your Own Fatpack card from the Exodi main store. For the price of any other pre-made fatpack in the store ($5,000L), you will INSTANTANEOUSLY gain access to ANY 8 skins in the store. That’s right! ANY 8 skins, INSTANT access. No notecards with skin names, no coupon transfers, no prepaying, NO WAITING!
2. Once you have purchased a card, wear it to activate it.
** NOTE: If you have purchased more than one card, you MUST WEAR all of them in order to activate them. Each card you purchase will add to your fatpack point balance.**
3. When your card has been activated, left click on any Exodi skin vendor (or right-click and select “Card…”) to receive menu options.
4. From the menu, select “Fatpack”.
5. Click “Redeem” to redeem one of your points for the skin!
6. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you are a Beck Bucks card holder at the time of your card activation, you WILL EARN 50 Beck Bucks for the purchase of a *new* BYO Fatpack card! Replacement cards do not carry any Beck Buck point value.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Once you have been purchased your card and have been registered as a BYO Fatpack Card holder, you are *not* required to wear the card in order to redeem your points for skins. However, keep in mind, you will also not be able to keep track of your points total! It is recommended that you wear the card, if for no other reason than to see how pretty it is (I worked hard on that thing, dammit! :P)!
2. BYO Fatpack cards ARE NOT transferrable. You may not give away your card or available points.
3. If you *LOSE YOUR CARD*, you may pick up another one from the Exodi main store BYO Fatpack Lost & Found Kiosk.
4. Equipping an already-used BYO Fatpack card when you are not a currently registered BYO Fatpack card holder will result in a disabled card. If you have never purchased a BYO Fatpack card and would like to, please visit the Exodi main store to obtain your own card.
5. BYO Fatpack card points are STACKABLE. This means, if you purchase more than 1 BYO Fatpack card, wear each of them to activate them, and your points will stack together for your grand total on ONE card. For example… purchasing three cards and wearing them each to activate them first, will result in a total of 24 points to redeem for 24 skins (for the price of $15,000L!).

Ryker’s Holiday Shopping Guide
We’re down to the wire, boys and girls! Do you know where your Christmas presents are?
I know shopping can be hard in Second Life, so I’ve decided to take the route my good friend Nexeus Fatale has taken, and make my own little Holiday Shopping guide for the masses. Maybe you’ll want my opinion, maybe you won’t… but I’m gonna give it to you anyway!
Now, I have to say that most of my friends are either the easiest ones to shop for, or the hardest. There really is no in-between. Artists, builders, creators, designers… we thrive on our creativity and sometimes that can be hard to encompass into a Christmas gift, know what I mean? So instead of going by the old addage, “This is what you should get for THIS type, this is what you should get for THIS type”… I think I will simply go down an eclectic list of a few of my favorite gadgets that I think would make excellent, last minute gifts for that special someone.
Sit back, and relax… this is probably going to be a long post.
These two toys have to be the coolest things I’ve seen in SL, hands down, bar none, with a big fat cherry on top. Make your own books in Second Life. I can’t even begin to explain the limitless possibilities you will have with this contraption. I’ve made photo albums, modeling and art portfolios, shop catalogues, brochures, magazines… let your imagination run wild. And at its price, it will provide the creative types you know with hours of entertainment, not to mention the satisfaction of creation.
Pricing:
Printing Press: $895L
Book: $75L

Because all of us need a little help with our inventory now and then. Besides… where would we be without MORE SHIT to add to our inventory? :P
Pricing: $600L

If you don’t have one of these already, you should seriously think of picking one up for yourself, let alone everyone else you know. Call it a necessary little Christmas spoilage of self. Perfect for people that love to change AOs the way they change underwear (hopefully), or models that need a place to house their 3,000 poses for easy access. Again, endless possibilities on this dandy little tool.
Pricing: $1499L

Perfect for anyone that gets tired of those damn shadows that appear whenever the sun changes direction. Excellent for taking portrait shots.
Pricing: $375L

- N30 Deluxe Modeling Studio (SLEX)
Again with the modeling and photography! You’d really need to read the description on this one, but… it rocks. And if you’re not using it, you can always change the background to a stylish drop of Paris at night… and it will make excellent ambiance for your studio or home.
Pricing: $3000

- MystiTool HUD (SLEX)
This has to be one of my most favorite, addiction, incredibly useful gadgets of all time… if for no other reason than being able to know exactly who is within 96 sq m of me at any given time. This incredible, INCREDIBLE little tool also includes a teleport history, favorite locations storage (for up to 45 locations!), flight assistance, landmark management, facial emote controls, and a TON more. I couldn’t even sit here and describe to you just how freaking cool this tool is. You really should get it, for yourself and a friend.
Pricing: $423L

A necessity for all DJs. Comes equipped with a request management system (listeners can submit requests for the DJ to view, delete, and keep track of), an announcement tool (the DJ may keep a notecard inside the tool to shout announcements periodically), a tip jar to keep track of tips, and more. Available in both multi-user and single user! This is seriously one of the best gifts you could get anyone you know that DJs.
Pricing:
Single User: $1000L
Multi-User: $2700L

Whew! That’s a lot of stuff. These are just a few of my favorite toys in world, and I hope they will soon be yours as well, if they aren’t already!
Me? My holiday gift giving is finally complete. Along with some personal creations, I also released an exclusive art piece for my friends in SL… “Elemental”.

And so… to all of you. Merry Christmahannukahwanza and best wishes for the new year!
