Jewel's Guide on Downloading Sayclub Dolls!
With this handy guide, you no longer have to wait for the queue to churn out a doll you like; now you can try finding one yourself! Have fun with me on this journey of digital doll preservation ^_^! Note that I use Windows and that this guide may not apply to Apple computers.
Step One
Go to this URL to be taken to the Avatar Mall! The links you are likely to want to explore are located on the left side of the screen, highlighted by a blue rectangle. Do note that the text will not be in English; that is my translator helping me translate it from Korean! Right now, I am getting a lot of my dolls from the Luxury Shop section. Go ahead and click on that for now!
Step Two
Now we are in the Luxury Shop! This is where a lot of the dolls you see from Sayclub are located. Go ahead and explore the pages for a bit! Note: the < and > buttons will take you to the next set of ten pages. So if you want to go from page 1 to page 2, simply click the number 2. If you click the > button, for example, it will take you to page 11 instead! Additionally, the |< and >| buttons will take you to the very first page and the very last page. Now that you've explored a bit, go ahead and choose a doll you like!
Step Three
I have selected this doll for this guide! Once you click on a thumbnail, a new window will open and take you to the purchase screen. Now, if you use won and want to purchase a doll to spice up your Sayclub chat, then this is where you can buy it for yourself or gift it to a friend! But, uh, I'm assuming you don't. So! If you only want to download one doll and don't want the rest of the set, then you can save the GIF like you would any other file; right-click the image, and press "Save Image As...", or just drag it to a folder of your choice! Congrats, your journey is over! But if you want the whole set like me, then that is where things get a little more complicated. You see, there is a doll missing; there should be five! Usually. Go ahead and save these four for now.
Step Four
If you want that elusive "neutral expression" doll, then your next step is to right-click on an empty area of the purchase screen (in other words, don't right-click an image) and select "View Page Source." You will be taken to a page that looks like this. Don't be afraid! Remember; the code is more scared of you than you are scared of it. Scroll down until you reach Line 966. You are looking for a link that looks like this: "http://filei.sayclub.kr/charimg/item_real2/s_u_01_260595_01_02.gif." If it is not on Line 966, just look for that link and you should be fine!
Step Five
Once you've found the URL, copy and paste it into the URL bar! Note that if you click on it, there is a quick extra step you must do before downloading the image. The URL I chose leads to the "happy" expression. That's not what we want! Notice that 02.gif at the very end of the URL? Just change that 02 to an 01, and you've got yourself the "neutral" expression! Do not panic if the 01 leads to a broken page; that most likely means that there is simply no default expression, or that it was already included in the set of four. Now, if you simply clicked the link in the Page Source, the URL bar will have this URL, for example: "view-source:http://filei.sayclub.kr/charimg/item_real2/s_f_01_13843_01_01.gif" instead of this URL: "http://filei.sayclub.kr/charimg/item_real2/s_u_01_260595_01_01.gif." Notice the difference? You can still save the image, but it won't save under its proper name. If you care about preserving the name like I do for convenience, simply remove the "view-source:" portion of the URL, and you're good to go!
Congrats!
Once you've downloaded that last doll, you've got the whole set! Use them to spice up your DMs or decorate your blog! Thanks for reading! If you have any questions for me, simply click the mushrooms.
