Places in Jamaa

Places in Jamaa


   Hey jammers! Misty here. Today I'm going to be writing about the different places in Jamaa. There are many different places in Jamaa, as you can see on the map below. On my Google+, I asked you which place in Jamaa was your favorite! And you guys said that Sarepia Forest was your favorite place in Jamaa.
    So let's start off by naming all the places in Jamaa. The place with a star in it Sarepia Forest. The place on the right of it Coral Canyons. Below Coral Canyons is Crystal Sands. The place on the left of Sarepia Forest that looks very cold and icy is Mt. Shiveer, Below Mt, Shiveer is Jamaa Township. Below Jamaa Township is Kimbara Outback. On the left of Jamaa Township is Appondale. On the right of Jamaa Township is Temple of Zios. Now for the underwater places in Jamaa. By looking at the picture, you can tell that there are 4 underwater places, Bahari Bay, Crystal Reef, Kani Cove, and of course, the Deep Blue. The Deep Blue is the underwater place all the way at the bottom right corner of Jamaa. The place to the right of Deep Blue is Kani Cove. The place to the left of Deep Blue is Bahari Bay. The place closest to Crystal Sands is Crystal Reef.
   So, shall we begin our tour through Jamaa? On our little trip, I hope you can learn some interesting trivia about the places in Jamaa. So let's begin at Jamaa Township, home of Jam Mart Clothing, Jam Mart Furniture, the Diamond Shop, the Sol Arcade, You can also find there Club Geoz, the Pillow Room, and Jammer Central, where Jammers can submit artwork, a howl, and more! But did you know that a hospital used to be beside the Pillow Room before the Sol Arcade was created?
Wow, just look at the sea of jammers!
    Alright, next stop! Our next destination is Temple of Zios. You can find Brady's Lab and the Chamber of Knowledge in this rain forest-like terrain, also home of the Mystery Emporium, which can be found all the way at the top of the Chamber of Knowledge. Sure, it has less shops then Jamaa Township, and I admit, it can be a little frightening at times, but there are certainly a lot of facts about this exotic destination. I bet you didn't know that where Zios' fallen mask is, a statue of a monkey used to be! Cool, right?
Just paying my respects to the fallen Zios mask
    Our next destination is Sarepia Forest. home to Sarepia Theater, and the Flag Shop, You can also find the Treetop Gardens in Sarepia Forest too. If you visit Sarepia Forest in the server Aldan, you can find quite a lot of role-players. Some facts about Sarepia Forest? Well, there are quite a few. Sarepia Forest used to only be called Sarepia. I, personally, think that AJHQ made no mistake adding on the Forest part. It sounds way catchier. Also, did you know that if you get enough people to dance around the fireplace in Sarepia Forest, the spirit of Mira, the sky goddess, will appear in the flames? How amazing!

   Next stop, Kimbara Outback! Rooms that can be found in Kimbara Outback are the Medical Center and Outback Imports too. Kimbara Outback is Jamaa's newest land, being released on July 25, 2013.
Many jammers say that no one comes here, but it's a beautiful place!
    Our next destination is Appondale! In Appondale, you can find 2 rooms- the Conservation Museum, home of the Appondale Theater and the Museum Shop! Don't forget that Claws n' Paws, the Jamaa Pet Store, is also located in Appondale.

      The next place you will be learning about in this guide today is Mt. Shiveer, the place in Jamaa most closely related to the Antarctic! You can find the Hot Cocoa Hut in Mt. Shiveer, along with the Shiveer Shoppe! You can also find the mysterious Hot Springs there. Did you know that when Mt. Shiveer was first created, there where no Hot Springs? And when the Hot Springs was created, the dinosaur had no skull?

       Our final land destination is my personal favorite, Crystal Sands! Crystal Sands is the more beach/water park-themed area of Jamaa. Rooms you can find in Crystal Sands are Captain Melville's Juice Hut and Tierney's  Aquarium. There are no stores in Crystal Sands, except for a claw machine in the Juice Hut. Did you know that Crystal Sands was actually more of an exotic beach rather than a water park? There was actually a carving of Sir Gilbert in the area that is now a water park!

    Now for the 4 underwater destinations, which, again, are Kani Cove, Crystal Reef, Bahari Bay, and the Deep Blue. Let's start with the Crystal Reef. There is 1 room in the Crystal Reef, which is Flippers N' Fins. There are no stores in Crystal Reef. Some facts about Crystal Reef are Crystal Reef is named after Crystal Sands, and Bahari Bay and Crystal Reef have the same music. Next, we'll talk about the Deep Blue. There are no rooms in the Deep Blue, but the Underwater Den Shop and Marine Marvels can be found in the Deep Blue. Now I'll talk about Bahari Bay. There is one shop, and one room in Bahari Bay, which is Bahari Bargains. A cool fact about Bahari Bay is that Bahari is Arabic for "from the sea".Finally, I'll talk about Kani Cove. There is 0 rooms in Kani Cove, but 1 shops can be found there which is Sunken Treasures. A cool fact about Kani Cove is that there is a sunken ship in the ocean which was owned by the Phantoms.

   Alright jammers, that's it for "Places in Jamaa"! Hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful, I put a LOT of hard work into it. Credits for the tips go to the Animal Jam Community blog, which is a wonderful and informational blog that you should definitely go check out! Thank you so much, jammers!

Lyrics to the "Land of Jamaa" by Snowyclaw!

Lyrics to the "Land of Jamaa" Made By Snowyclaw!

   Hey, jammers! It's Misty here. Today I'm going to be putting up the lyrics to the "Jamaa Anthem" made by Snowyclaw Jamaa. Animal Jam has such a nice creation story, with Mira and Zios, and the Alphas, or shamans. It's a pity that they aren't mentioned more often in the game play. Click here to watch the video.

We will sing...
together.
And the mountains will hear our call.
And we will...
raise our voices.
Remembered forever the land of Jamaa.
We will dance...
through the country.
And the night and the day will be one.
Holding paws...
we will unite.
As one mind, as one soul,
the name of Jamaa.
Oh, Zios,
night full of bright stars.
With the moon shining down on the land.
Mira's
summer sky,
To guide us, to lead us, in ruling Jamaa.
We will live....
in joyous laughter.
With the love and the trust that we share.
And the world,
will know the good time.
Glory and honor the land of Jamaa.

Den Decorating on Animal Jam!

Den Decorating on Animal Jam!


  Hey jammers, it's Misty here, bringing you another post on the Jamaa Society! Today's post is going to be about den decorating. In my opinion, den decorating is an art. Something that can be very hard for people, or very easy. I did a poll on my Google+ where I asked you guys "What den is the hardest to decorate?". You guys voted for the Beach House. I also interviewed a random jammer (shout out to acmb2008 for participating in this little interview!)  about den decorating. Here's what she said:

Me: How long does it take you to decorate a den?

acmb2008: One or two hours.

Me: Which den is the hardest to decorate?

acmb2008: The Beach House.

Me: What is an item that you must have in every den?

acmb2008: The Cake Bake Kitchen (from Epic Wonders).

   After that, she even let us take some photos of what her den looks like! Credit goes to Twinkles05 for taking these marvelous photos!






    Alright, now for the den decorating tips! I bet many of you are wondering the key to making a den look good. Well, we have the answer. This list contains some helpful den decorating tips that you can certainly use when decorating your own den.

  1. Different Den Themes
   Animal Jam's wide variety of furniture makes it possible to have a different theme for each den! Have you ever tried making a hotel? Or a spa? Maybe you've tried making a restaurant on Animal Jam. If you haven't, then you definitely should! You can check out ZoeyCreatesAJ for some ideas on how to make "themed dens".
     
      2. When In Need, Use Nature Items!
   
     Like Wisteria Moon says in her 10 Minute Den Challenge video, trees make everything look better. This can actually be true. Nature items look really good in most dens. You can get some nature items in Treetop Gardens in Sarepia Forest. You can also get some trees in the seasonal adventures, like Lucky Clovers and the Spring Festival.


      3. The Wallpaper and Flooring You Use Are Crucial

     Wallpaper and flooring are everything when making dens. If your wallpaper and flooring look bad, chances are that your den isn't going to look that good too. So make sure that you like the wallpaper and flooring that you are using.

      Alright, jammers. I know that the decorating tips were a little short, but it's fine. Anyway, thanks for reading! Check out the Jamaa Society for more posts like this! This is Misty, signing out!

AJ Update 3/31/16

Animal Jam's Latest Update!

  
  Hey jammers! It's Misty here, bringing you a post on Animal Jam's latest update, although this post is a little late. This update brings some super cool content to the game, including some new features, new pets, new animals, and new parties! So let's dive right in and get started!
  Alright, the first thing that AJHQ added to it's game is the new pets! The new pets they added were pet leers and pet hippos. Sorry there was no picture of the hippos in the collage above. Anyway, instead of getting a pet snow leopard when redeeming an Animal Jam gift card, which can be found at GameStop,by the way, you now get a pet hippo! Then, there's the new pet leer! I can't wait to get this adorable pet. 
  The next thing is the arrival and departure of animals in Animal Jam! Sadly, the deer who have traveled to Jamaa for the Jamaalidays are sadly leaving. Jammers will no longer be able to get them starting April 14th. But with this animal departure comes a new animal! The Alphas have brought news of a new animal, falcons! Although they are not in the game yet, this paw-some new animal will definitely be coming soon!
   The April Fools party has arrived! Although it's no longer April Fools, I bet some of you jammers have visited this wacky party! Filled with crazy stuff, the April Fools party is definitely one of my favorite Animal Jam parties!
    Last but not least, we have the new gifting/trading and recycling features! Have so much items in your inventory that you can't find the item you want to gift/trade other jammers/ Well, AJHQ has found a clever solution. You can now use the new search bar when gifting or trading other jammers! Also, you can now recycle multiple items at once, and there is now a gem counter, telling you how many gems you will receive for recycling your certain number of certain items.
   That's all for this post, jammers! Be on the lookout for new posts, for we will try to be posting randomly! This is Misty Paws, signing out!
