Bare Rose RedMa Steam Witch

The RedMa Steam Witch put together 2 different concepts into a unique outfit that thrives in duality—mechanical precision laced with theatrical mysticism. The silhouette frame of the Steam Witch is commanding, built around clean tailoring and exaggerated forms: that wine-hued coat is sculptural, nearly ceremonial, edged with gold like a general of forgotten wars. Beneath it, lace and corsetry constrict and reveal, echoing both control and romanticism. 

The wide-brimmed hat isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a glyph of identity, suggesting mastery over both social rules and arcane ones. Every detail is deliberate: buckles placed like constellations, a pendant positioned like a keystone in a story waiting to unfold. The boots, high and utilitarian, speak to a character who walks between realms—stage and street, ritual and revolution. She doesn’t just wear history—she rewrites it with every stride.

She’s a gravity-defying marvel—a sorceress of steam and spark soaring on invention rather than incantation. The Steam Witch outfit crackles with kinetic charm: her striped corset blouse cinches like a pressure valve, poised to unleash arcane power or wit, while layered skirts flutter like gears caught in flight. That broomstick is no twig of folklore—it’s a feat of brass-bound engineering, pulsing with exhaust and etched with flourishes that speak of craftsmanship and rebellion. Her thigh-high boots, armored in metal accents, anchor the silhouette like landing gear for a time-traveling enchantress. Even her hat, wide-brimmed and banded, echoes the silhouette of old-world airships. She’s a storm in motion—part oracle, part pilot, painting contrails across a world built on rivets and forgotten magic.

LR Tokorow Bow with Bare Rose Steam Ribbon

The Tokorow Bow is the latest MESH additional to the LR Elite Bow series and it comes with 3 texture making it possible as a Metal or Wooden Bow, but you know Kitty. She always love to see it in very different perspectively...

In the cold winter forest, there was once a Steampunk Hunter Girl who used such a bow and it is made of dark, black metal and cold as the winter. Of course, if you prefer it in lighter shades, it is possible with the LR Hud which gives you a few shades from Dark to Light to adjust the look of this bow.

The bow comes with 2 quivers which you can equip on your back or side at your thigh. And it is really good because it gives you plenty of option not to interfere with your tail, if you have one like Kitty. The sheath bow also goes nicely on your back and give your full mobility, whether running or hunting or simply just to make sure someone check your bow out before checking you out.

The special thing about this bow is that you can optionally equip your arrows too, for RP and props of course, since the arrow would fire at zero lag time when in mouse view as part of the Elite Bow from LR. This makes the bow very high tech just like what is needed in a Steampunk environment and it is almost like a bigger version of a crossbow to Kitty, except with less reloading hassles. And did you also notice how well the outfit blended with the bow? Well this is just another coincidences as Bare Rose's Steam Ribbon goes well with this LR Weapons as if they were made for each other!

So, get this great bow and remember to read the notecard to understand all the advance feature of the LR bow now. And you get to enjoy 25% off at the We Love Roleplay event:

Steam had always been a traditional hunt for Kitty and yes not Twisted because Kitty love to live a few more years. This year, Kitty is among the first 100 to complete it, well one of the store keep tracks of  number of people who got the prizes, so Kitty knew that. As usual, there will be mini games, some nice prizes and lots of fun. Kitty wish she has more friends to hunt with next year!

Steamhaven Grand Opening Hunt

Steamhaven is opened and to celebrate the Grand Opening, they are hosting a great hunt with 30 items. The hunt consists of 15 barrel from {Eclectic Muse} and 15 from Steaming Ahead. However, this is a paid hunt of $1L each, so prepare $30L if you are game for this.

There are lots of items ranging from atomizers, boots to camp fires. As most of them require quite some prims and is more suitable for outdoor usage, I would skip the presentation of these items. Go check it out if you are interested!

Start your hunt here:

Steam Hunt IX

I am not sure if I had been missing long enough to miss some really good hunt, but Steam is one of them I would not want to miss. Not only because Kitty is really into Steampunk, but the hunt is usually really friendly and enjoyable with multiple mini hunts on some of the stops too!

There is only 1 stop that is down, which is 059. So if you are there and need the next LM, here is it:

But before that, Kitty is still going to show you the outfit she gotten BareRose, which she used throughout this whole hunt.

To Hunt or Not to Hunt

There should be a point that someone will start to think this blog is made so I can brag about the hunts that I completed. Well, in general, I do not deny that's true, but maybe this is where it changes. With so many hunts going on at the same time, I am sure its quite impossible to complete all of them and in fact, not even most of them.  

Right now, or at least in the near future in mid march, 3 of the major (according to me) hunts are going on and I really wanted to complete them all. But this is why there is this post, I probably cannot.

Twisted Hunt had been around and this is the 9th run of it. What it is famous for is not the prizes or the story, but instead its well known to be insanely difficult. And this run is no exception. In fact, I had only embark on it and I can already tell its going to take me a while to complete this if I decided to continue on.

Well, the funny thing that makes Twist so hard is actually the designer intended for the hunter to cheat. Why do I say that? They will have tens (up to 50 I see so far) of item all named as the REAL item so that Area Search does not work. In additional, the cube (prize) is splashed with MESH so that wireframe will find it hard to locate and I do not know what other measures they put in. Honestly to me, I do not encourage or discourage the use of any of these technology. I believe you the hunter intend to ruin his / her own fun, I won't stop him / her. But technically I do not consider any of these cheating. The technology exists as part of SL and its not even like loading a Trainer or modifying some configuration files to access unauthorized features.

To give you an example of the measure they went to in order to make the hunter's life miserable. In a location I seen, there was no hint. Yes, I can't believe what's the fun of hunting when there is no hint. They might as well say the prize item is on some sim, inside some building somewhere on SL. Now that would be the ultimate hunt right? Well, NO to me. I may had been around for thousands of years as a Bakeneko, but still I prefer to spend my time doing something more meaningful. Ok, let's get back to the location. The cube was buried deep inside another larger decoy cube (yes, the store also puts up tens of decoys) and seriously, I did not find any other way to click on the cube with derendering the larger cube. So, they expect you to "cheat" by derendering the larger cube. I feel pity for people who really played nice.

Am I bad mouthing Twisted Hunt? Well, maybe I am a little, but what I am stating is facts. In fact, they even posted a rather arrogant speech about "Fck off if you are not good enough" on their site here:

http://twistedhunt.com/for-twisted-hunters/for-twisted-virgins

Well, they might not had used the F word, but it pretty much sound like that to me. Actually I do not mind the insane challenge or the "dirty" tricks they played to hide the cubes. It's challenging and I do love challenges. The only down side to this hunt was unfortunately people are not as friend as you think. Without hints and without assistance from fellow hunters, it makes progress really slow and painful.

Maybe its by chance, but maybe its planned. The Steam hunt is always organized at the same time with Twisted, making it really hard to concentrate on both of them. In fact, I did not even attempted the last Twist because I had so much fun doing Steam with my sisters and friends. Steam, like Twisted, usually features a huge list of about 150 stores. so expect it not to be a short hunt. But the major difference on Steam however, is that every store is suppose to come with a hint for the item. Now, isn't that a big difference then. Unlike Twisted, which gives me an impression that they DO NOT want the hunter to get the prizes, Steam comes pretty friendly and in fact, I am quite impressed by the prizes. In the previous hunt, I even some cool steampunk vehicles and buildings and even a rocket!

Do I sound like I am taking sides, well maybe I am. All I know is that if I had to choose between these 2 big hunts, I would go for Steam any day. Maybe the theme for Steam is just more attractive for me too and at least I do know a few close friends who are interested to do this one with me. Yes, they still have hairs in case you are wondering. Nobody pulled their hair out so far over Steam hunts.

I am sure if you had followed my blog, then Kiyomizu is not a unfamiliar name. I loved this unique Japanese hunt and so far, I am just so impressed with their tracking system and you can even rank and compete with your friends and monitor each other's progress. The prizes may not be expensive (yes, in fact some of them are cheap even if you do not hunt them down), but they are definitely worth getting. Its this hunt that exposed me to many of the little Japanese invention which I am so impressed with. Clever little items made and sold by the stores in the Kiyomizu sim. I had completed at least 2 hunts from Kiyomizu and I will add more to it.

Kiyomizu hunt is usually shorter than both Twisted and Steam and its so friendly, you start to wonder if the designer wanted you to find the items easily. One of the reasons I enjoyed Kiyomizu so much is that I actually found the items quickly and had time to spend browsing on the stores. I did ended up buying lots of items which are not hunt related on Kiyomizu hunts actually. I usually do not spend that much on Steam hunt and I actually do not think I even spend at all in Twisted. The prize took up so much time that I immediately jump to the next hint as soon as I finally located it.

From the above, which is mostly if not all of my personal opinion, I think I would go about these 3 hunts in this order : Steam, Kiyomizu, Twisted. Well, the reason I place Steam first was because it only starts on 16th March, which gives me a full 15 days (4 had passed) to complete Steam first. I will try to complete Twisted last, and to be honest, I might actually walk from this one if there are better hunts around then.

But do not let me discourage you. If you enjoy a really hard challenge, go for it! You do get a tag saying you are a Twisted survivor I believed.

I also couldn't believe it had been so long. I still remember that night, sitting around my little hut in SASS with my friends, together, after I just completed STEAM... Alas, so a lot had changed...
