It's the season for us to reflect on the year before, to give gifts and enjoy the blessings of the holiday, to see that family you ditched for FFXIV and also rampant mass commercialism. In the spirit of all these things, Gather Against Fate is offering a Scavenger Hunt contest, with some real-life prizes courtesy of Gryvan Zhwan!
The contest is simple: gather screenshots according to the hints and commands below, with yourself in the screenshot somewhere (nameplates on). If you can't take screenshots easily, off-screen capture camera works, or even someone else taking the screenshot as long as you're in it (we will only accept the same screenshot the first time we come across, it though, so make sure you take multiple if you're taking screenshots for other people). Upload them on your favourite image hosting site, and send the links to Elliott Kirkland. Easy ones give one point, Medium two, and Hard three, with some special ones giving even more. The person with the most points wins the coveted first prize, with tiebreakers in reserve in case of draws.
You do not have to enter screenshots for everything. You can enter as many or as little as you like, but you only get points for what you enter.
The contest ends Saturday, January 3, at 12am CST. (this is a few days extension from the previous date- please see the latest post for more info)
First Prize: $20 gift card. Second Prize: A Sleipnir Mount! Paid with Crysta. Third Prize: A minion from our Company Chest of your choice and an in-game Gil reward.

If you have submitted some already, feel free to submit more in another message if you'd like to make use of this time. Keep an eye out for any other imformation. Thanks!
Yeah, it's over- Going to have results up as soon as possible- sorry for the delay- both Scything and I (who are handling everything) have been sick so it's been going slower than we'd like.
