Random Saturday Ep. 96: Diamond Shop Spikes

 

Hey guys!Agent Pluto here with this week's Random Saturday! Today I'm going to be covering diamond shop spikes on AJPC and their worths! Diamond shops spikes have been in Animal Jam Classic for years but some newer jammers might not know their history! 

First, we have the "First-Gen" diamond spike collars from 2013:

These spikes also came in wrists of the same colors and both are coveted items by collectors and normal players alike. These spikes were originally sold for 3 diamonds each. They are worth from a bad long collar to even two black longs. 

Next, we have the "First-Gen" diamond short collars from 2015:

These spikes came in 8 colors, black, light blue, turquoise, green, peach, purple, pink, and white. they also came in wristbands of the same color. These collars sold for 3 diamonds each. Every color of this spike is worth one den beta each. 

Now, we have the worn spike collars from 2017:

These collars, unlike the rest on this list, were a nonmember item. They also came in wristbands that were also nonmember. These collars were sold for 3 diamonds each. These collars are worth a bad long collar each because of their nonmember status. 

Lastly, we some other miscellaneous spikes from over the years:

These honorable mentions include the Ancient Spike Collar, the Blackout Spike Collar, the Solid Gold Spike Collar, the Magenta Spike Collar, the Mythic Spike Collar, and the Rainbow Spike Collar. all of these spikes were sold for around 3 diamonds each. they are all worth around a clothing beta each.

Welp, that is a wrap on this week's random Saturday! See you all next time

This is Agent Pluto, blasting off. 

Random Saturday Ep 94: The History of Crystal Sands

Hey guys! Agent Pluto here back with another Random Saturday! Today, I am going to continue talking about the Beta period of AJPC! This time I am covering the history of Crystal Sands, and how it was different in the Beta period.

To recap, the Beta period was a time in Animal Jam Classic before it was fully released to the public. The game was very new and is much different than how it is today. Today, we are going to look at how Crystal sands have changed from the Beta period to now.

Let's start with how it looked in the beta period:

Clearly, Crystal Sands has gone through some pretty drastic changes from the Beta period to now. But, some of the layouts have stayed the same. We still have Captin Melvins Juice Hut in the same spot and the rock formations are similar.

The outside of Captin Melvins looks almost identical to how it looks now. From what we know, this image shows the spawn point. But overall it looks very similar to how it looks now.

We have no images of how captain Captin Melvins looked in the Beta. But from the information we know, it was a large tropical-themed room with the claw game and the iconic smoothie machine.

Let's take a look at Crystal Sands now:

As you can see, a lot was added to Crystal sands. while we still have the rocks and oddly green water. We now have Tierney's Aquarium, a museum that teaches you about all sorts of marine life. We also have new games such as Overflow, Double Up, and the Pet Wash. another addition is 4 new water slides that lay within the original rocks. Also, you can now travel underwater by walking off the 2 docks within the water. Which either take you to Crystal Reef of Kani Cove!

This concludes another chapter of The beta period in Animal Jam Classic. I hope you guys enjoy these Beta posts as much as I do.

That's all for this week's Random Saturday!

Random Saturday Ep 90: The History Of Jamaa Township

Howdy Jammers! This is Pluto back at it with another Random Saturday!

This week, I will be covering a small portion of the "Beta" period of Animal Jam Classic! Before the polished version of Animal Jam classic was released, there was a testing phase known as the "Beta" era. Many items were released during this time that are now considered rare. But, a lot of new jammers don't know about this time period. Now I couldn't possibly fit everything about the beginning of animal jam and how it was before it was released to the public. But, today we will be talking about Jamaa and the changes it went through to get where we are. 

First, lets talk about the beta era:

Now as you can see, Jamaa Township has gone through some major changes throughout the years. the overall walkways have stayed relatively the same, with the 2 bridges on each side and the open middle. there was a total of 2 shops; Jam Mart Clothing (bottom right) and Jam Mart Furniture (top right). Also shown in this image, there are 3 other buildings; Club Geoz (top left), the Medical Center (bottom building; bottom left), and the Pillow Room (top building; bottom left)

Here we see the spawn point of Jamaa Township during the Beta testing. In the middle, there is a sign that has changed a lot throughout the course of the game. the overall feel of the spawn point hasn't changed, but the layout of buildings has changed drastically.

Here is a picture of the Mira shrine which Is located at the very top of Jamaa. as you can tell, this area hasn't changed what so ever. but its important to show that some things haven't changed within the game throughout the years. 

Now we are looking at the bottom of Jamaa Township, where we have Jam mart clothing, the Pillow Room, and the Medical center. The fountain and the pillow room are the only parts of this area that have not moved since the beta.

Jam Mart clothing was one of the only shops in the game at the time, and it design hasn't changed. I can't find any images of Jam mart furniture, but it pretty much looks the same as it does now.

Now lets move on to present day

As you can see, there's been a lot of new additions throughout the land. Such as; the Diamond Shop (bottom right) , the Sol Arcade (bottom left) , and the Alpha Headquarters (bottom right). Club Geoz was removed in 2017 to be replaced with the Alpha Headquarters. the pillow room became less and less prominent. And the layout of Jam Mart Clothing and Jam Mart Furniture was changed to the spots we all know today. 

In the future, I hope to do more posts about different beta features. I feel like many new jammers don't know the history behind these lands that we all know and love. but for today, stay safe and Play Wild in AJPC!

Random Saturday Ep 78: Spring Festival in AJPC

 

Hey guys! It's me Pluto here with my first Random Saturday post! Today, I'm going to be talking about the spring festival. 

This adventure is available by clicking the party tab at the top of your screen and going to the tab that says "spring festival". It's a limited-edition event that runs throughout spring and is accessible to both members and nonmembers. 

The adventure starts with an NPC, Lolly, giving you instructions on how to play this event. The objective is to collect 100 colorful eggs to get a total of 7 special golden egg prizes. It follows the same format as other holiday AJPC adventures, but they are still a great way to spend time and enjoy fun colorful spring activities. 

Now this event, like Lucky Clovers, has an element that most other seasonal games do not. Lots of the eggs are hidden within the scenery around the map. Meaning this adventure might take a bit more skill than other games you might be used to. but luckily, I have included a picture of the map so you are sure not to get lost within the forest of eggs and bunnies!

Because of the difficulty of this game, the prizes you can get as a member are really cool! You can win pretty garden decorations, betas, cute clothes, and even spike collars and wrists. But you can also get fun easter den items to show off to your friends. 

Well, that's all for this week! Make sure to check out the spring festival and Jam On!
