Scavenger hunts were released to celebrate the release of parties to PIMD and to encourage people to actively participate in them. There have been multiple phases and evolutions of these hunts. Some of the scavenger hunts are still ongoing, and they acted as the prototype to both ‘sets’ and ‘drops’. In this guide I want to take you through their 2-year prime, discuss the rarity of some of these items, and provide a price guide for them. Key, Tradable = it will have a price next to it Untradable = 🚯 Spoiler: Spoiler = Images or other bulky/ugly information Table of Contents by set names, Hipster Missing Link Zombie Bro Party Animal Film Snob V-day Raptor Kerrerts!

Link to the Announcement Thread Hipster Missing Link 🚯 Spoiler Crushed GBR Can (1 of 4) 🚯 Spoiler Ripped Flannel (2 of 4) 🚯 Spoiler Smashed Banjo (3 of 4) 🚯 Spoiler Beef Jerky (4 of 4) 🚯 Spoiler None of the above items show up in showcases however the set, if it was completed during the event, will be visible. They're the only non-gifts that I know of which don't show up in showcases. The second set from the 2012 Halloween event is the Zombie bro. Zombie Bro 🚯 This set still combines Spoiler 1. Zombie bro head = 5c Spoiler 2. Zombie bro torso = 5c Spoiler 3. Zombie bro arms = 5c Spoiler 4. Zombie bro leg = 5c Spoiler The Zombie parts and set items can be traded, are visible, and were even given stats when they were later rereleased in the 2016 Sugar Rush! halloween event. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Despite only dropping for half a year in 2013, these next items can still be traded and combined as many times as you like. The fact that there is no limit to the number of sets you can make led to some of the components becoming quite rare, and they can only get rarer. Higher numbered items were harder to get. The latter four in each set are labelled ‘expert’, and must have dropped from harder parties (probably the pros). A lot of these were collected as they dropped from late 2012 until July 11th 2013 The items were also subject to duplication via a glitch that was discovered at the time and later patched.

Duration: February 3 2013 - 18th February 'Valentines Day Preview' thread 'Valentines Day items' thread V-day Raptor 🚯 Spoiler 1. Mixtape = 20c Spoiler 2. Hole in the Box = 3o Spoiler This set still still combines today with a limit of 1 The silhouetted images are from the preview thread. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- In Easter of 2013, ATA released the next scavenger hunt. Kerrerts! 🚯 1. Tulips = 2o 2. Bunny Earrings = 2o 3. Carrot Cupcake = 2o 4. Easter Eggs =2o _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- The next two scavenger sets have some items that are still dropping from parties today. Click here to see what parties they drop from. The first 2 items from each set: Catsuit, Electric Guitar; Cracked aPhone, and Coyote Hood don’t drop anymore but haven’t had the opportunity to become as rare as film posters and golf carts because people can only make one set on their account, and then the items don’t combine. I don't know when the first 2 items stopped dropping. Announcement Thread Summer Festival Bro 🚯 Duration: May 31 2013 - today This set still combines today Spoiler 1- Cracked aPhone = 5c 2- Coyote Hood = 5c 3- Porta Potty = 50:1c 4- Horse Head = <1c 5- Festival Boots = <1c _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- The next set was released a bit later. July 12 2013 and still drops today. The announcement thread is here. The set still combines today. Poop Star 🚯 Duration: July 12 2013 - today Spoiler 1- Catsuit = 8c 2- Electric Guitar = 8c 3- Keytar = 2c 4- Leather Jacket = 2c 5- Studded shades = 4c _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Corgicopia 🚯 Announcement Thread Duration: November 16th - December 2, 2013 Spoiler The Ugly Squash is the quintessential valuable statless item on PIMD due to its immense rarity, even having the second 10mcs item on the game ‘Ugly Squash Holo’ named after it. Suggesting stats that would match its rarity however as you can see here, it dropped from pretty plain and easy parties that could have been easily farmed. So why is it so rare? People were more concerned about getting the harder items, so just got one of the ‘granted’ ugly squashes and ended up combining it to make their corgi-copias, and there weren't many left over. Be warned: If you wish to collect this set. The components still combine to make the corgi. This can mean wasting 40o worth of stuff. Be careful. The devs listed the parties that each component would drop from, and those will be included in the spoilers. 1. Pumpkin Ale = 3o Spoiler (lower level players have better chances) - Counter Culture - Dumpster Dive - No Hand Brakes! - Fake Art 101 - DIY Tattoo - Draw Manga! 2. Ugly Squash = 40-50o Spoiler (lower level players have better chances) - Prank Primer - Frisbee Follies - All Roads Lead to Beer - Afternoon Delight - Cabana Cool - Noodle Express 3. Preserves = 20c Spoiler - Fake Art 101 PRO (high level players have better chances) - DIY Tattoo PRO (high level players have better chances) - Counter Culture PRO (all players but with a lower chance) - Dumpster Dive PRO (all players but with a lower chance) 4. Tofu Turkey = 3o Spoiler (high level players have better chances) - Afternoon Delight PRO - Cabana Cool PRO - Draw Manga! PRO - Noodle Express PRO - Limo Luxury PRO - Skyhigh Party PRO Spoiler: Image of Ugly Squash Spoiler: Image of other components _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Santa Pug 🚯 Hunt thread here Duration: December 18th 2013 - January 13th 2014 The Santa Pug represents the first "Hunt Drop". In the event 'Collect all 8 reindeer pugs', collecting one of each of the pugs would cause them to combine into the Santa Pug, and players would then receive hunt rewards for reaching certain milestones of numbers of Santa Pugs collected. There was also a hunt leaderboard with other special rewards. This set no longer combines. Santa Pug 🚯 Spoiler Dasher = 3c Dancer = 3c Prancer = 3c Vixen = 3c Comet = 3c Cupid = 3c Donner = 3c Blitzen = 3c _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 2014 Year of the Horse Coin 🚯 Hunt Duration: January 30th - February 17th 2014 Spoiler This item was released in the Year of the Horse Celebration hunt. There is not limit on how many can be combined, and they still combine to this day so the Red Envelope, the rarest component, has long been quite valuable. Spoiler 1. Fish Cake = 5c 2. Red Envelope = 4o 3. Firecrackers = 5c 4. Dragon Firework = 5c _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Heart-shaped Box = 10:1c Hunt Thread Hunt Duration: 8th February - 17th February, 2014. This scavenger set is a hunt drop like the santa pug, and also the first hybrid set because not all of its components drop randomly from parties but one was a gift. It no longer combines so the items that dropped from parties are very common. A trend on PIMD is that as time progresses, more active people, and more people partying lead to more things being collected each hunt. Spoiler 1. Gorilla chocolate = 20:1c 2. Shark chocolate = 20:1c 3. Bear chocolate = 20:1c 4. Croc chocolate = 20:1c 5. Hippo chocolate = 10c The hippo chocolate acts as a catalyst, earnt by gifting, and significantly rarer than all the other chocolates. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 2014 Easter Basket 🚯 From the Great Egg Hunt: April 14-April 22, 2014 The devs have now learnt to use scavenger items as hunt progress markers to gain more control over peoples' ability to progress in hunts. This hunt marks the funeral of the true scavenger hunts, and the beginning of a short era of scavenger-drop-based hunts. Spoiler 1. Kitty Egg🚯🐈🥚 2. Bunny Egg🚯🐇🥚 3. Sheep Egg🚯🐑🥚 4. Duck Egg🚯🦆🥚 Spoiler _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Pokeyball 🚯 From the Pokeymons hunt. September 3 - September 11, 2014 Spoiler Another hunt incorporating scavenger items to create hunt ‘drops’/progress markers Was Pokeymons! The components of this set are some of the most wide-spread and abundant tradable items in the game, pokeymons are popular collectibles for players new and old. Probably the victims of a duplication glitch, people can have thousands of these items. The set no long combines. But the four pokeymons are far more nostalgic than the set anyway! 1. Fire Bulmander = 10:1c Spoiler 2. Water Squirchu = 1:10c Spoiler 3. Grass Bulbachar = 10:1c Spoiler 4. Electric Pikameleon = 1:10c Spoiler You can get 100 of each of these for a bento. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Pledge Signature 🚯 From Pledge Week: September 30 - November 8, 2014 This scavenger hunt was a part of 'pledge week', one of the few college-themed hunts on PIMD, and something that, for a time, actually made pimd look like a college simulator. Spoiler: Pledge Signature 1. Cheap beer 🚯 Spoiler 2. Duck Tape 🚯 Spoiler 3. Prof Slippers 🚯 Spoiler 4. Elbow grease 🚯 Spoiler _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Frankenpug = 2:1c-3:1c From Howl-oween event: October 24 - October 31, 2014 Originally released in the howl-oween hunt, and then rereleased in the 2016 Sugar Rush hunt. These old hunt drops from 2014 became a super-abundant item, collected ravenously for their cheap statistical bonus. Despite only being 15kcs each, people would buy 200 of them per bento because so many were around, and they were random drops from cat cafe (although remarkably rare, barely increasing their population from before rerelease). I remember a few keen collectors, each with over 200,000 in the early days. With some collecting over half a million. But due to this mass-hoarding, they've become quite scarce, though still a cheap source of misc bonus. The components are considerably harder to find, although not much. 1. Mummy Pug = 2c Spoiler 2. Vampire Pug = 2c Spoiler 3. Werewolf Pug = 2c Spoiler 4. Zombie Pug = 2c Spoiler _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- These are all of the Scavenger items... Originally statless. After these hunts, the devs, for the most part, desert the idea of basing hunts entirely around this format, of finding a handful of different items and then combining them into a set. The next chapter in the story of pimd showcase items will be the 'Set Hunts'. Where drops are collected from parties, these drops then combine to make distinct items, which are then combined to make Hunt sets. This thread is hard to look at. Might update it a bit so each section is in a spoiler.
Just realized the main reason it looks so bad is that text has improper linebreaks from the place I copied it from 🙁 oops
