Random Saturday Ep. 86: Epic Plushie Scavenger Hunt

Hai jammers, Blossom here with our blog's 86th Random Saturday post! Today I will be reviewing the recent challenge that Animal Jam advertised known as the "Epic Plushie Scavenger Hunt."

Animal Jam hid 8 Epic Plushies around the 5 lands (excluding the 3 ocean lands) that jammer's could look for and purchase. If you successfully found one of the 8 plushies, a pop-up screen like this would appear: 

You have the choice to purchase the plushies for 1,000 gems each. Below is a guide to where all of the plushies are located throughout Jamaa. If you would like to challenge yourself, I recommend you skip this part!

Agent Insights Ep 67: Epic Plushies

Howdy everybody, Danny here with a new Agent Insights. If you're an AJPC player, you have probably heard about the Epic Plushie Scavenger hunt. There are 8 different plushies hidden around Jamaa, and when you find one, you can click on it to open a shop where you can buy that plushie for 1,000 Gems. When placed in a den, the plushies can be clicked on, which will play an animation showing them turning into a little plush ball. Fun!

However, the Epic Plushies are not new to this update, though this is the first time they have been available for gems. A quick history lesson for newer players: from late 2012 until sometime in 2013 or 2014, a series of plushies known as Sidekix were available for purchase from the AJ Outfitters website. The series consisted of 8 plush toys designed after animals from AJPC. The plushies featured a zipper on the torso that could be unzipped to fold the toy inside-out, turning it into a plush ball, just like their in-game equivalents.

Each individual plush came with a code that could be redeemed to get an in-game version of that plush in the form of an Epic Plushie. The Epic Plushies are quite valuable since they have not been available for many years, and because they could only be obtained with purchase of a physical Sidekix toy.

Confusingly enough, though, the Epic Plushies purchasable from the scavenger hunt event are not the same items as the plushies obtained from the Sidekix line. They are identical in terms of appearance and item name, but can be differentiated by the fact that the original Sidekix Epic Plushies now have a rare tag, while the 2021 versions do not. The Rare Tag appears when the item is viewed in an inventory, trade list, or in a player's My Shop.

Pictured below is a comparison of the Epic Fox Plushie for reference.

Since this distinction is not made clear anywhere, it is unfortunately likely that this will cause some initial confusion regarding the value of the original Sidekix Epic Plushies.

 

If you or your friend have any of the original Epic Plushies, don't trade them away! I anticipate that some players may try to scam by attempting to conflate the two items, so be cautious. This information is also posted on our Rare Item Guide page for future reference.

That's all for now. Stay safe and trade fairly!

Monthly Update - May

Hey all, Jade here with your newest Monthly Update! Happy Pride Month to you all- now, let's get into the changes from May.

First of all, we'd like to welcome two new Gammas, Grave and Galaxy, to the team! You've already seen some posts from Grave, and you can expect to see some from Galaxy in the near future.

Last month, we mentioned a new system where staff are not included in the schedule, and instead are warned by the choice of agents through the usage of the Staff Activity Form. We've continued to use this system throughout this month and it has gone quite well! As staff, we hope to be able to maintain and help the society grow more effectively through this system.

Our most major change this month was opening game nights to the public on our Discord server. Game nights are hosted every Saturday at 6 PM Pacific Time. The games we play include skribbl.io, Drawful 2, Board Game Arena, and Quiplash. So far, game nights have been a super fun experience and a great way for us to get more involved with the non-agent members of our server! If you want to participate in our game nights, feel free to join our server through the link above or the widget on the sidebar!

We are also continuing our event rotation on the server- we played Egg Hunt throughout May and it went very well. This month, we're playing Race Through Jamaa! For event rules and sign-ups, you can join our server and check out the Events category.

Finally, we would like to remind you all that applications to join the society are open and available on our Joining page! If you have applied and were rejected before, you are welcome to reapply, but please remember the 3 month waiting period between applications. Additionally, if you aren't interested in joining the society, you are still free to join our Discord server or submit any scammers you find through our Scammer Report Form!

That's all for this post- thank you all for reading! Stay safe out there, and Jam On.

Random Saturday Ep. 85: Codes

Hello again! It's Rose with this week's Random Saturday. Today, I'll be talking about codes in AJPW.

Random Saturday Ep. 84: Pet Expeditions

Hello! It's Rose with this week's Random Saturday. This week, I'll be talking about Pet Expeditions on AJPW! 

To start off, you can buy pets in Animal Jam and level them up using the Pet Station if you are a member. Once you've reached the required level for an expedition, you can go to Crystal Sands where this boat is: 

After you click on the boat, you have three different options for expeditions; each one requires a different level and energy and also takes different amounts of time. 

Select one that matches the level of the pet you are taking on an expedition and wait for your pet to return. 

Once your pet returns, it can bring sapphires, gems, items, and DNA vials, which are used to get exotic pets, back. 

This is Rose, signing off~ Have a great week and I'll see you next time!

Monthly Update - April

 What's up everyone, and happy May Day to you all! Today, it's my turn to bring updates about the society for April. Let's go!

Over the past month, we trialed a system in which the staff are not included in the schedule. It worked well for us, and we intend to keep it this way until we need to change the schedule again. Don't worry if this seems unfair for the other Gammas and Senior Agents. We keep the warning system fair by allowing the Gammas and Senior Agents to warn staff members at the end of every month if they feel that our activity is lacking.

Next, I'd like to talk about the Scammer Report Form. We truly appreciate the effort that you all put in to help stop scammers from scamming. If you have evidence showing the scammer in their act, I strongly encourage you to head over to our Report Scammers page, and submit a Report Form! Before submitting a form, do remember to read the instructions stated on the page. Take them as a general guideline as what your pictures and recount should contain.

Next, we are open for new Agents to join the society. If you are eager and passionate about catching scammers with a knack for writing blog posts, I encourage you to check out our Joining page. 

Finally, I'm going to take a few moments to talk about events in the AJSASS Discord server. Every month, I will host an event in the server. Typically, the events start on the 7th of each month (in GMT), and end sometime later in the month. People who participate in the events stand a chance to win event gems, which can be used to buy powerups to increase your odds of winning. This is the current schedule for events:

Jan/Jul: Undercover

Feb/Aug: Where is it

Mar/Sep: What is it

Apr/Oct: Battle for the Bacon (no, it is not a typo)

May/Nov: Egg Hunt

Jun/Dec: Race through Jamaa

Details about each event can be found in our discord server. Anyone can participate in the events!

Well, that's all the updates from me now. Until next time!

Random Saturday Ep. 83: Plushies

Hai jammers, Blossom here with our 83rd Random Saturday post! Today I will be talking about the stuffed animals of Animal Jam, plushies!

Plushies were first introduced to the game in mid-July of 2011, and have since become a fun part of Animal Jam.

The most common variety of plushies are Claw Plushies, which can be won from claw machines. Other plushies can be obtained from games, shops, and promo codes.

There are also Jambassador Plushies, which are custom plushies made especially for Jambassadors, including Pugfluff, Chocolate4froggy, CupcakeCeline, and WisteriaMoon. 

Finally, we've got the Clothed Plushies, which are not in-store, but will rarely make an appearance in a Claw Machine every once in a while. 

Plushies are great items for collections, as well as shops, so I recommend you go out and grab some! I hope you have fun with these! This is Agent Blossom signing off, remember to stay safe and play pawsome!

Random Saturday Ep. 82: Fireflies

Hello! It's Rose again with the blog's 82nd Random Saturday. In this week's post, I'll be going over a new special feature in AJPW.

With the new March 3rd update, fireflies have come into the game along with the Golden Snowflakes that I discussed in my last post.

They spawn in any land on the map, but only when the cycle reaches night. The fireflies look like this:

After you click on them, you will get a prize that can range from sapphires to clothing or den items. The gift will appear with the "You got a gift!" popup, similar to the Golden Snowflakes.

I hope you have a fun time with this new feature!

This is Rose, signing off~ Have a great week and I'll see you next time!
