2012 Gear Design Contest

I was interested in this but sadly the old Lodestone is shut down. But I found the pictures of the winner and runner ups. So if anyone is interested in looking at them:

Meteor Survivor Ring - Apparently this one won and is rewarded through a sidequest in ARR and can be bought again at the Calamity Salvager.

Aetheryte Ring - Can be crafted by a level 50 Goldsmith.

I’d love to see the outfits people submitted too, but these rings are really nice!

They should do another gear design contest! I suck at drawing but I have ideas! lol

It's also the model used for the EXP-boosting Brand-new Ring from Hall of the Novice.

Make an armor contest. The outfits in this game lately have no creativity whatsoever. Some of the crafter gear is unique, but its useless as its not all classes.

SE still does design contests all the time - recently it seems to be for furnishings (they're still gradually introducing the winners from the most recently run event into game in content patches), so they're still definetely occurring.

The Meteor Survivor Ring is definetely still a thing, it is rewarded in a fairly low level ARR sidequest at Camp Bronze Lake in La Noscea - I still wear mine as Enki's ring glamour on her right hand, to compliment her Eternity Ring on her left naturally, to remind her of where she came from and who and what she lost in the process, given she's a Meteor Survivor herself.

Oh wow, I wear the Meteor Survivor Ring all the time and somehow missed it was from a design contest. That contest added a lot of great rings.
