Random Saturday Ep. 87: AJPC Carnival Cotton Candy

 

Hey jammers! This is Clover here with another episode of Random Saturdays! This week, we will be talking about the cotton candy machine in Animal Jam Classic's Summer Carnival.

At the cotton candy machine, there are a total of 8 "special" cotton candies you can create. Each of them have a specific cone and 3 color combination in order to create them!

The first one we will be talking about is the standard phantom cotton candy. You can make this one by using any cone (with the exception of the star cone), and the color combination "black-white-black." The final product is shown below with a plain white cone.

The second cotton candy you can create is known as the "phantom king" cotton candy. This one has similar instructions to the standard phantom cotton candy, however you use the star cone with the "black-white-black" color combination.

The next cotton candy we will be talking about is what I like to call the "paw" cotton candy. For this one, you use the plain white cone and the color combination "white-orange-yellow." 

The next one is the "heart" cotton candy. To make this one, all you have to do is use the pink heart cone and the pink color one time, and you'll make it!

Similarly to the "heart" cotton candy, the "star" cotton candy requires only 2 steps. Dip the star cone in the yellow cotton candy one time and you have it!

Returning back to more complex cotton candies, we have the rainbow cotton candy next. To make this one, you have to use the lighting cone, then the "blue-yellow-pink" combination.

Next up we have the "moon" cotton candy! To make this one, you use the lightning cone and the "white-blue-white" combination.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the "sun" cotton candy! To make this one, you use the star cone and the "yellow-orange" color combination (you may add a second orange, however it makes no difference either way).

That concludes this Random Saturday post! Thank you for reading the newest edition of Random Saturdays, and be sure to enjoy the Summer Carnival!

Random Saturday Ep. 80: Eco Items in AJPC

Hey everyone! This is Clover here with another episode of Random Saturdays! This week, we will be talking about the Eco Items in Animal Jam Classic.

Eco items were first announced on July 2nd, 2020 in the Jamaa Journal. Any player who logged on at least 5 days during the month would receive an Eco Wind Turbine, which is worth 10 Eco Points when placed in your den.

With Eco Points, you can generate Eco Credits (every 10 Eco Points generates 1 credit every 6 minutes), and with these, you are able to buy more Eco Wind Turbines and Eco Solar Panels (known as Eco Generators) in order to gain more Eco Points.

On August 13, 2020, it was announced that new Eco Items were entering the Eco Shop, including the Eco Ground Light, Eco Salt Lamp, as well as many others. Unlike the Eco Wind Turbines and Eco Solar Panels, these new items, known as Eco Consumer Items, would instead consume Eco Points when activated.

You can also earn Eco Plaques with your Eco Points. When you reach 30 Eco Points, you will earn the Wood Eco Plaque, you will earn the Silver Eco Plaque when you reach 50 Eco Points, and finally, you will receive the Gold Eco Plaque for 100 Eco Points.

That concludes this episode! Be sure to have fun on Animal Jam, and thank you for reading the newest edition of Random Saturdays!

Random Saturday Ep 76: Member Daily Spin in AJPC

Hey everyone! This is Clover here with another edition of Random Saturdays! Today, we are going to be talking about the Member Daily Spin in AJPC.

Ever since July 7, 2011, each time you logged onto Animal Jam you would receive a Daily Spin popup. This original Daily Spin, known back then as the Daily Gem Bonus, could give you up to 1500 gems a day.

This Daily Gem Bonus had a few updates throughout the years, first gaining a diamond panel on June 6, 2013, and a gift panel on June 12, 2014, before finally, the Member Spin was created.

The Member Spin was first released on January 1, 2017 as a members only feature. Instead of the original Daily Spin, members will spin this wheel.

Instead of the gem panels on the Daily Spin, the Member Spin consists mostly of diamond panels. In total, there are 12 "1 diamond" panels, 2 "2 diamond" panels and 2 gift panels. Usually, you will land on a "1 diamond" panel, which, depending on your login bonus, can give you 3 diamonds per day, however, if you're lucky enough, you can receive up to 6 diamonds with the "2 diamond" panel!

Finally, if you land on a gift panel, you can receive up to 3 rare items, depending on your login bonus. These include former Rare Item Monday items, as well as multiple rare Jamaaliday items.

Anyways, that concludes this episode! Be sure to log in today to receive your daily bonus, and thank you for reading the newest edition of Random Saturdays!

Random Saturday Ep. 74: Installing the AJPC App

Hey everyone! Clover here with another Random Saturday. This week, we will be going over how to install the AJPC app.

As most of us are aware, Adobe Flash Player shut down in December, so the only way we can play the PC version of Animal Jam is to download the app. Fortunately, it's a simple process.

First of all, you will need a computer that is able to run the app. The app is downloadable on PC and Mac, however, if you're on a Chromebook you're out of luck. Once you go onto the Animal Jam Classic website, click the icon that says "Download for PC & Mac."

Once you click the icon, a file titled "AnimalJamInstaller" will save as an .exe file. Once you open the file, the app will install on its own.

Once the app is done installing, Animal Jam will open on its own, and you can log in normally!

Once you close the app for the first time, it will make a shortcut on your desktop so you can log in easier from then on.

Anyways, that concludes this episode! Have fun playing Animal Jam, and thank you for reading our newest edition of Random Saturdays!

Random Saturday Ep 69: Spooky Party in AJPC

Hey everyone!! Clover here with another Random Saturday. This week, we will be talking about the Spooky Party in Animal Jam Classic.

For Halloween every year, Animal Jam has their "Night of the Phantoms" event. Most years, this includes the Spooky Party, which you can find in the parties tab. It was first introduced in 2012, and was last hosted in October of 2018. This year, they decided to bring it back.

Inside the Spooky Party, there are 4 different shops; Music shop, Furniture shop, Clothing shop, and a Pet shop. You can find the clothing shop by going to the 3rd floor of the party and clicking the brown dresser item.

In it, you can find a few fun items, including the Epic Wizard Hat, Witch Boots, Bat Glasses, and more!

The Music shop is located around the same place, so you just need to click the record player labeled "Sale" and you'll be taken to the shop.

When you click on the shop, it has the Spooky Old Bones music for 100 gems, so be sure to grab that if you haven't already!

To get to the den shop, you have to go downstairs when you're in the manor and click on the furniture labeled "Sale."

In the shop, you can find many fun items, such as the Bat Wallpaper, Spiderweb Floor, Standing Coffin, Haunted TV, and a few more items!

Finally, there's one final "shop" that we need to look at; the pet shop, or bat shop, rather. As opposed to the last 3 shops, this one is hidden. On the 2nd floor of the party, there is a bat in the wallpaper, and if you click it, you will be led to the pet customization menu.

Another part of the Spooky Party I felt like was worth mentioning is the green slime. When you first enter the party, if you move your animal to the right, you can find puddles of green slime. If you sit in them, your animal will turn green, similar to how the mud in Appondale turns your animal brown.

Anyways, that concludes this episode! Be sure to have fun at the Spooky Party, and thank you reading the newest edition of Random Saturdays!

Random Saturday Ep 62: Tiki Trouble

Hey everyone! This is Clover with a new edition of Random Saturdays! This week, we are focusing on the adventure Tiki Trouble on AJPC.

This is one of Animal Jam's seasonal adventures, which means that it only comes out once every year. Tiki Trouble is a Summer adventure, first coming out on July 20, 2017. It most recently came back out on August 13. The adventure can be played by all jammers, however certain prizes are only available as a member.

Whenever you click on the adventure, you will likely be put with a few random jammers, or maybe even nobody, however, if you go to an empty server with your buddies, you can play with them! This adventure is best played with a group of other jammers, since whenever I played alone, I wasn't able to finish.

Once you enter the adventure, Tavie will explain that you need to earn 3 pearls from the Tiki Statues in order to complete the adventure. There is also a 17 minute time limit to complete the adventure, so you have to be quick to complete it.

Whenever you find one of the Tiki Statues located on the island, you will have to complete a set of tasks. For this, I used the "Koa Tiki Statue" as a tutorial on what to do.

Once I clicked the statue, I got a popup that said that I had to find jewels in order for the statue to speak to me.

Most of the time, you only end up mining fossils, however, there is a chance that you will mine blue crystals, which are the jewels that the statue is looking for. Once you complete this task, you will be asked to collect 3 different pieces of fruit for the statue before receiving the pearl.

When you receive the pearl, it will appear as an item next to your animal (shown below) and you must bring it back to Tavie in order to receive your prize.

Once you bring the pearl to Tavie, you will receive 2 treasure chests that contain the prizes. Unfortunately, I'm a nonmember, so I could only collect one of the prizes.

Whenever you receive all 3 of the pearls, you will receive your final prize. The nonmember prize is simply one of the tiki statues, however members receive random clothing items, and have a chance of receiving a Rare Spiked Collar or Wristband.

There are also other things you can do in the adventure besides collect pearls! For example, there are different Trader NPCS (animals not played by any jammer) on the island that you can talk to. They will explain that they love to collect different items, and if you bring them one, you will receive some gems.

Once you bring them an item they want, you will receive 25 gems. The items they want are the common drops from doing any action that has an item the Tikis want as a rare drop.

There are also different treasure chests located around the island, which usually contain a random number of gems, though they can also contain Octopus Archways. Some chests can be found rarely when mining, fishing or digging in the shallow water. These chests can drop Gold Bricks, Diamond Encrusted Gauntlets, or Giant Sea Shells respectively.

Finally, there is a passageway that can only be opened by Arctic Wolves. I'm unable to open it, since I don't have an Arctic Wolf. However, if the passageway is opened, you can enter a cave that has a few of the crystals that you use to mine inside it, as well as a treasure chest. If you open it, the treasure chest will either give you a Palm Tree, a Mangrove Tree, or a Pineapple Plant.

Another thing worth noting is that flying animals (eagles, owls, etc.) are able to fly above cliffs and deep water, while land animals have to walk around them, making it easier for flying animals to collect certain items!

That concludes this Random Saturday post! Stay safe on Animal Jam, and have fun playing this adventure!
