Random Saturday Ep 73: New Year's Fortune

 

Hello! Agent Quacc here with another Random Saturday, and for today's post, we will be taking a look at the New Year's Fortune adventure.

Animal Jam announces the adventure in the Jamaa Journal every January in celebration of the Chinese New Year. For this year, Animal Jam also released a bunch of ox themed items that are in stores to celebrate the year of the ox. 

Like most seasonal adventures, you can find New Year's Fortune when you click on the party icon.

The adventure starts with Liza the alpha. She explains that you could find red envelopes that give you prizes or gems that are found all over the map. The envelopes relocate every two minutes so you have to find the envelopes as quick as you can.

To help you find the envelopes on time, a Lucky Dragon accompanies you in the top left corner of your screen. The closer the colour of the dragon is to red, the closer you are to the envelope (which means that the icy dragon means you're far away). 

There are even chests and gem tokens that are scattered all over the map, but they also move around like the red envelopes. There are also an endless amount of envelopes for you to collect too.

That's all for today, thank you for reading!

Agent Insights Ep. 66: Headless Pet Sharks

Hi! Quacc here with your Agent Insights for today. Today's episode will be about the headless shark scams.

Recently, these headless pet sharks have been deemed as valuable when they are actually common items. Scammers will try to say that they are worth a lot and will put them in their shops for outrageous prices. Realistically, they should be put as 1-3 diamonds as a fair price.

The "headless" part of the pet is actually an accessory that can be added on in the Pet Stop. There is a glitch where you can go to the Play-As-Your-Pet-Party or Pets Only Party as an underwater animal. There are tutorials and ways to do it online as well. That way, you can find secret underwater accessories to use for all of your underwater pets (including the accessory option which gets rid of the shark's head and makes it appear "headless").

The glitch still hasn't been patched so it is still working. It only takes a few tries but it should be accessible. Because of this, any pet with these "secret" accessories shouldn't be worth very much. 

Since the trick isn't very well-known, scammers will try and trade the items for a few den betas when a fair trade for them would typically be a Rare Item Monday. If you see somebody asking for rare items in exchange for headless sharks or if you see them priced highly in somebody's shop, don't fall for it.

That's all for today, stay safe!

Random Saturday Ep 68: Birthstones & Flowers

Hello! Agent Quacc here with another Random Saturday. This week's post will be about monthly birthstones and flower pots in Animal Jam & Animal Jam Classic!

Animal Jam adds a new birthstone to Epic Wonders in Coral Canyons based on what month it is. They used to be advertised in the Jamaa Journal which shows which month has which gemstones.

The members-only birthstones are based on which gemstone represents the current month or zodiac sign. The gemstones leave at the end of each month and bring new ones at the beginning of the next month. The birthstone for this month (October) is the opal birthstone!

Next month's birthstone will be a topaz birthstone. If you collect all 12 birthstones, you can also show off your collection using a birthstone display which is also available all year long in Epic Wonders. The complete collection looks a little like this.

The birthstones can also be found in Play Wild but they're in Jam Mart Furniture instead of Epic Wonders.

Animal Jam also has monthly birth flowers that can be found in Treetop Gardens in the Sarepia Forest. These bouquets switch at the same time as the birthstones too. The flowers have a member's only bouquet and another non-member version. This month's birth flower is the marigold bouquet.

That's all for today, thanks for reading!

Random Saturday Ep 65: Pet Expeditions

 

Hello! Agent Quacc here with a Random Saturday. For this week, I'll be taking a look at pet expeditions in Play Wild (or just Animal Jam).

Pet expeditions are a members-only feature where you can send your pets on trips in hopes of winning different rewards. You can find the boat to send your pets away in Crystal Sands. Once you click on the globe icon, it'll show you what kinds of expeditions that you can send your pet on.

There are many different locations that you can send your pet to, from the Parched Dunes to the Glacial Pass, since the options are always changing. There even was limited time locations but they aren't available anymore. Each location needs a certain level from a pet and energy.

You can level up your pet and give them more energy by taking care of them in the Pet Station. You can find the Pet Station in Shoreline Decor in Moku'ahi for 100 sapphires. 

Once your pet has enough energy and is on a high enough level, you can pick an expedition for them to go on. Different locations can take 1-5 days to finish.

When the time runs out, you can earn all kinds of awards like sapphires, gems, rare items and more. 

Bonus Tip: You can also get items, gems or sapphires from just taking your pet around Jamaa!

That's everything for today, thank you for reading!

Random Saturday Ep 57: Battle for the Beacon

Hellooo! Agent Quacc here. For this week's post, I thought it would be nice to take a look at the Battle for the Beacon adventure. 

The Battle for the Beacon usually comes every summer and is announced through the Jamaa Journal.

Unlike other adventures, you can find the Battle for the Beacon when you click on the party icon. 

The adventure begins with Greely asking you to stop the phantoms from attacking the village. The alphas had hidden the Phantom Beacon and the phantoms are now trying to take it back. Greely then says that you should keep the Phantom Beacon away from the phantoms since it's the only way to find out where the Phantom Fortress is. 

The Battle of the Beacon also has an earth crystal shop run by Jewel where you can spend crystals to get all kinds of den items. 

 

You can earn the earth crystals by destroying the phantom tubes using boomseeds or repeatedly clicking on them. Different locations on the map produce more than one crystal.

That's all for today, thank you for reading!
