So I know Shop Search is the go-to, but I hopped into the CW shops here and am totally overwhelmed. Is there a chance of finding CWs that are not available in the CW shop or in shop search? Is there a way to find who created it to seek out their shop? Is DMing an artist in bad taste? I made a "dream avi" thinking CWs were turned off, and they were, uh. Not.

Specifically, these unfindables: [item=delish sonnet blush (darker)][item=delish bloom body soap (Base 3)]

Grateful for any help at all <3

if it helps, three of those are not CWs but two of them are transformable items, so you may have more luck with those searching for the original base item - for both of those it's and [item=Delish Bloom Body Soap (Base 1)]. you can transform them into your preferred item in your inventory.

i do see a couple of copies of in shop search now - i don't think that one's transformable, but it is retired from the cash shop. it might come back during the black friday sale though!

for the CWs you can use the CW directory to search for the item and see the releasers/artists and their status (ie if they're warehoused or fully retired - warehoused means the releaser could bring the item back into shop, but if they're retired that's all the copies that will ever exist).

for example, was released by and it's retired with 15 copies onsite. as a gold star CW (so released pre-2020 when the system was revamped) it's likely quite old, so it's a tossup on whether someone who holds a copy is a) still active and b) is willing to sell/trade, but you can advertise in the r200 advertising forum to check!

commenting a releaser to see if they'd be willing to sell you a copy (if it's not retired) would be fine as long as you're polite, of course, but i think some of the releasers of the older pieces unfortunately won't be active anymore. 100% worth a try, though! ^^

Thank you so much, that is incredibly helpful!
