Free Shop: Open!
A few reminders:
:star: The Free Shop will be open until 11:59pm on September 24.
:star: The Free Shop restocks from a pool of items I manually restock, and I can't be here 24/7. There are times when it might be a few hours before that pool is full again. Be kind!
:star: Any free item is a good item. Just because you don't get cash shop items throughout the week does not mean the Free Shop wasn't worth it!

I'm missing the free shop. ^^ Thank you very much Subeta team, I got so many wishlist items (expensive and inexpensive) and so many items I didn't know I needed!

Thank you so much for organizing this free shop event!! It’s one of my favorite things on the site… not just “oh! Free stuff!” which is a good enough reason on its own… because it’s a surprise, a mystery, and it’s the kind of moment where anything’s possible. I treasure each site-economy-failed trinket as much as a Subeautique or event item.
Love live the Free Shop. ❤️

Ho-lee-crap.
Either I'm the luckiest SOB alive, or Amber is being extra-generous this year. (I have a feeling it's the latter) Seriously this is the best haul I've had in all my 13 years, and I'm always stunned by the staff and user's generosity on this site.
I also love when I find old free gift items or other weird things I never knew existed, like this one:
As a bonus challenge I've decided I'm going to put together an outfit made entirely of items I got from the free shop, which I'm wearing right now. Just a good time all around. Thank you so much for this again.

First of all, thank you for all the hard work and lost sleep, Amber!
I'm so excited about the free shop. Of course everybody wants wishlist items or cash shop items, but if the free shop only stocked with these where would be the fun? I'm thankful for every item because it gets me nearer to finally get the shop till saver achievement (only 5 millions to go!).
But of course I'm also happy to get gems like

Thank you Amber for taking the time out of your day to keep the Free Shop running!
I had to laugh as I, a simple newbie was so far most excited about getting a common, very affordable
Pure Orange Juice. It looked so tasty! (And personal reasons.) Might be affordable, but I was grateful I didn't have to buy it. As a new player every single little thing is most appreciated. (It can be overwhelming getting acquainted with everything; and it's easy to miss cool things.)
(While questing for Quentin last night I was surprised she was giving me wishlist items almost every other turn! - So I was also laughing about that paradox.)
Just snagged my favorite Free Shop "purchase" thus far,
Amateur Cabin Painting.

I hope it never changes because I just got the thing that makes me smile the most from the free shop. The 15% shop discount. It always makes me laugh.

Thank You!
Not sure what the parameters are for choosing the items you stock but would this be a chance to slip some rarer retired food or books into the market?

@MidnightFox You can grab an item from the Free Shop every five minutes! There's a built-in timer, so you can't grab items more often than you're allowed to. (:

Hello, newbie here. Woot for free stuff!
On the fair play rule... can I grab like two items and be on my way, or like grab one then wait an hour and grab another? Just looking for some guidance as not to be greedy.
Congrats to everyone getting WL items! ^^ < 3

Getting the "cheaper" items is also great for saving them for questing, or selling them fast to those doing quests :D Thanks Amber for the hard work, we see you doing this by hand every year and I keep hoping you'll be able to automate the process eventually so you don't have to suffer

Gotta love people that complain about what's in the Free Shop but in the same breath wonder why we don't get the Free Shop very often.
Why should Staff give us literal Free Stuff if you're going to be so negative about it because it's not Cash Shop or only super expensive things?

@Lucian Sadly, in real life, a fourteen-year-old chocolate cake might not be so delicious. (I froze some of my wedding cake for a year, but it wasn't as good afterward. Then again the marriage didn't last either, LMAO, at least we're now friends again!) But now I too want cake. Gluten-free, because I'm celiac, and probably not chocolate because celiacs are more than spoiled for chocolate. I would like an intensely vanilla cake. <3
@Krystal That's a super good idea!
@Amber The first thing I got was a 35M SP collection item that was on my plushie wishlist. Any free item is good, but that one was especially so!!!

Yay, so excited! I love free stuff, hahah. Everything that I don't want to keep will become shop fodder, total net gain. Thank you for opening the shop, and giving us a heads up just in case there's a lull in items c:

Krystal
Also just a fun tip... Something I like to do is -- if I get an item I don't want, I will use the "Wishlist Search" feature, and send it anonymously to someone who has it on their Wishlist :)

@BoaConstrictor It's not unfair because this isn't only open for one day. I'm sure a user getting on today will be on for at least a few minutes sometime this week to grab an item or two. I don't open/stock the shop with the intention of users getting hundreds of items after sitting here constantly refreshing the shop. I want people to get at least a few free items (whatever rarity they may be) while enjoying pirates later in the week.

o.k., so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
Still it's unfair for the people signing off now opposed to the ones only logging in...

@BoaConstrictor No. The Free Shop never had an open time and we very ever rarely start something in the morning, so the assumption that y'all missed half a day because we were late is just that, an assumption. The news post talks about a few hours of emptiness just in case it happens. It's better to be informed than not. In the past, if this happened it didn't last too long. I check throughout the day and even made sure this was happening during a week that I am on my computer more than not. :)

BoaConstrictor
Since we lost more than half a day already - a Sunday, which is free time for most people, this should be 2:15pm on September 25 (another Sunday, when people may again have spare time)!!!
And a few hours of emptyness is a scary prediction, esp. since some people don't spend half of their day here!
