Howdy everyone! Danny here with a quick Agent Insights for you all in regards to a new item making the rounds. This week, the Rare Item Monday was a den item, which is rare enough in its own right, but to make it even more special, it was an entirely new item rather than just a recolor! Presenting, the WildWorks Mascot Plushie!
However, if you went to nab one of these guys for yourself last Monday, you may have noticed things were a bit off. To be specific, the item just... didn't show up. It wasn't there. While you could still purchase the plushie, the item itself did not exist. If placed in a den, it could not be selected, deleted, rotated, or moved around. According to one of the admins for the AJ Classic Wiki, it would seem the den item file for the WildWorks Mascot Plushie simply didn't exist. Guess AJHQ was in a bit of a rush this week?
As you can imagine, this has caused a bit of confusion. Many people have been misled into believing that this item is worth way more than it really is due to its elusive nature. People are offering den betas and spikes for this item, even though it is no more valuable than any other Rare Item Monday, with the exception of its price tag. I even saw somebody today selling it in their shop for 450 Diamonds, which was what prompted me to make this post in the first place.
In summary, the WildWorks Mascot Plushie is not "glitched". It was a little buggy on Monday when it came out, but that issue is fixed now. It does not have any special value, and it is most certainly not worth 450 Diamonds. Make sure not to get scammed!
Oh, and also: It is extremely likely that this item is going to be returning on Monday, August 9th. AJHQ never re-releases Rare Item Mondays, but this is a bit of a special case given the confusion caused by the item's buggy nature when it came out this week. According to the game's files, this item is set to be released again for next week's Rare Item Monday. So, if you missed it the first time around, just hold tight a couple more days rather than overtrading.
That's all for now. Stay safe and happy jammin'!
