How To Shop UVDeviant *special thank you to Jarvis for this great tutorial*

Step 1 - head on over to http://www.uvdeviant.com/ and login. Or if you have not registered yet, do that first.

Step 2 - First you need funds in your uvdeviant account, so click Account Options on the side. http://www.uvdeviant.com/?page=23. There you will see your UVD Unused Balance. You need to add funds to that. So how do you do that?

Step 3 - Open a new window and go to your social center. Login and then go to the UVDeviant Profile. http://www.utherverse.com/net/profile/view_profile.aspx?MemberID=91399549. There you see the Message Center and the text link send me funds. Click that. http://www.utherverse.com/net/profile/RayTransfer.aspx?MemberID=91399549.

Step 4 - Transfer funds. Enter your PIN number, and if you forgot it there is a handy link right beside that. Then the amount of rays you want to transfer in the next field. The final field you can leave blank, but I like to put down a reason in case I need to check my records. I'm going to put "Tutorial" as the note. Then hit submit transfer.

Step 5 - Now go back to my home. Look down at the section Your Rays, there is a text link Transaction History under Bank Account. Click that. There you see your transaction history. Locate the one you sent to UVDeviant. There is a Trans ID number. Copy that number down.

Step 6 - Return to the UVDeviant site. There is a place on the page that says Add funds with Transaction ID: Put the number that you just copied in there. Then press claim.

Step 7 - Now I have some money to go shopping!

Step 8 - Click the UVT Style Catalogue button on the page. It takes you to where all the outfits are. Here you can browse the most current releases, use the Designer List for a particular designer. Use the Search feature to look up any key words. Browse by gender. Browse by Price. Or Browse by Category. In this example I am going to select a designer at random from the drop down list. Well what do you know. I selected Rasa Designs and it loads all of his textures.

Step 9 - You can further tailor your search by selecting the options. So I am going to select Male, as I don't want woman's clothing. Then after that I will select 1-50 rays, for the price range I want to spend. Once that is loaded, I simply can click the thumbnail of an outfit and look at the details. Some outfits even have multiple pictures.

Step 10 - Now a bit of advice, if you are not too sure about the details as the image might be small, and wonder how it will look on your avi; there is a handy VWW link that can be used to go in world to the designers shop. If they are there, then you can ask the designer to display the outfit in question for you. Failing that you can always message them directly to schedule a time to meet. There is also a link to their social center within these details. I find it wise to ask all questions first before purchase. This way you won't be disappointed.

Step 11- Satisfied that I really really NEED this outfit. I click the Buy button. There is a confirmation notice given. For example mine says. The seller is asking ®35.00 for this item. You currently have ®218.00 Would you like to authorize this transaction? From there I click Yes, as I know I need this outfit asap! A moment shall take place and once it is complete you will get another notice. This outfit has been added to "My Styles Wardrobe". To close the pop up window click the x button in the top right.

Step 12 - Lets say I'm a shopping freak, and I can't even remember that I already bought this item. Well if I attempt to purchase it again, when I click to view the item it will state This outfit has been added to "My Styles Wardrobe".

Step 13 - Okay so now moving on. My styles Wardrobe text link is found in the upper right corner. Click that. Now my Wardrobe shows up with a list of styles. I locate Vest Outfit Dark, as that was what I just purchased and click it. A thumbnail appears of the outfit to the left and the code is displayed on the right. Hmmm.. but all the information is yellow. What does that mean? Oh look, it states that Yellow means it is not yet ready to wear, and that I have to wait 5 minutes. Sounds like a good time to grab a snack.

Step 14 - Okay after that short break I am back. I return to the my styles page. All of the information is now green telling me where to put it on my avatar.

Step 15 - Open a new window, or if you have not closed it go to your social center profile. Click Edit Profile and then in the sub links at the end is Avatar. Click that. There you see your avatar properties. Take the information from your wardrobe on UVDeviant and copy and paste them into the proper areas on your avatar properties. Each skin layer you must select the drop down menu at the end and change it to UVTextures. Leave the mesh layer to Public for the drop down.

Step 16 - Scroll down to the bottom and hit Save Changes. After that go up to the top, and add an outfit title and then hit save outfit. It is now ready in word in your closet to select and wear.
