Grasping the Concept of Rarity on Animal Jam!

Grasping the Concept of Rarity!

   Hey jammers! Misty here. In today's post, I'm basically going to be explaining a very important part of Animal Jam gameplay...and that, of course, would be trading. The concept of trading is quite complex, I still am quite confused about some of the logic that goes in to this concept. But it is important to know this information so you don't cluelessly accept a HUGE under-trade, or decline a HUGE over-trade. So let's start with the basics- well, not the basic basics. I think we all know how to trade here, so I don't think we need to go over that. Well, let's get started.....



    These items were all sold in the Jam Mart Clothing Store at one point. So what's the difference? Well, the Rare Spring Flower Crown has a rare label on it. That's because it's a Rare Item Monday. A Rare Item Monday is sold in a clothing shop, whether it be Jam Mart clothing,  or Epic Wonders, for one day. The designer skirt was sold in the Jam Mart Clothing Shop, but no longer is. The necklace is still sold in the Jam Mart Clothing shop till this day, so it is called a store-bought item. You cannot trade a store-bought item for a Rare Item Monday, or a item that is out of stores. You can trade a few different Rare Item Mondays for an item out of stores. A good Rare Item Monday would be a rare Item Monday from a long time ago. A good Rare Item Monday for a recent Rare Item Monday would be an overtrade.

    Beta items are items that were out during the beta days of Animal Jam, or Animal Jam in its early stages. There are den betas and clothing betas. Top hats, arctic hoods, beards, bubble gum machines, art easels, pink forest walls, and wood floors are all examples of betas. There was a thing called a Beta Party in Animal Jam, where there are items that actually have Beta as a part of their name. Those aren't actually beta, so don't be fooled!
   Spikes are a big part of Animal Jam trading. There are many types of spikes, long collars, short collars, diamond shop collars, long wristbands, short wristbands, and diamond shop wristbands. Spikes can be earned in the Forgotten Desert and Lucky Clovers adventure. There is such a thing as bad spikes and good spikes. A spike is determined to be a good spike or a bad spike by it's color. Colors that make it a bad spike are orange, pink, green, and yellow. Good spikes would be blue, pink, red, and of course, black. 

    Glitched items are EXTREMELY rare in Animal Jam.  A glitched ring (shown in the picture above) would approximately be 2 black longs. Other examples of glitched items are magenta furry hats. Unreleased and deleted items are similar to glitched items, but I do not believe they have the same worth. Epic den plaques and animal coins are examples of unreleased or deleted items.
    An item's worth really comes down to how many of those items are in the game. So basically the more copies of that item you recycle, the rarer that item becomes. An item can become much rarer, if a jammer starts collecting that item and recycling all the copies that they have collected. An item can also become much less rare if they make a comeback and go back to stores. For example, the fluffy fox hat was sold in the Leap Year party, and is a little less rare than it was before.
   Do not fall for these item generators! They DO NOT really work! The people who own this site are just trying to hack you, so never give your password to one of these hacking sites, whatever they may be.
