Looking for Reporters!
Reporters generally go on Aj and if they see something new or exciting, they write a small thing about it and send it to me, and I'll put it up if I find it relevant.

Code: Select all

 [b]I want to be a Reporter![/b]
[b]Username On AJ:
How often are you on Aj?
Why would you like to be a Reporter?[/b]

With this, I would also like to keep this thread spam - free. To keep it this way, try to keep all topics animaljam related. If you have any questions/comments go ahead and post them, also if I am missing something, post it here and I will update. I would like each post to have 1+ sentences, just in case. No one word, "Thanks!" or "OMG!", this would make it easier to read and less annoying for others reading.

{New Animal in Jamma!}
Move out of the way, Cheetahs! We've got a new animal coming to Jamma! Rumors believe it to be a deer or some sort of mountain goat, judging by the background. Will this will make the first official Jamma animal to have antlers? We're here to find out! We aren't sure when the new animal will be released, but it's sure to attract a lot of attention when it does! Not only the attention, but the gifts it brings, also! With every new animal, there have been a release of new items coming to the store, so keep an eye out.

{{The Mushroom Hut}}


Hey Jammers, why did the mushroom get invited to the party? Because he was a fun-gi!

A while back, a den called Mushroom Hut was made by a Jammer, and was put into Jamaa! They had left for a while, but now these fun huts are back! These dens are small and probably good for little parties! They are currently in the den shop for 5,000 gems. Buy one before they're gone again!

{{Meet Cosmo!}}
Jamma, showing it's appreciation to all it's members, has opened the Adventure "Meet Cosmo" to all Jammers! This being a Thanksgiving gift to all of us, lets use it! You Adventurers now have an entirely new adventure to explore, and this means new rewards and treasure chests! These Adventure items can be traded for certain things, but don't expect a worm for all the items.

{{Rumor Has It}}
Jamma HQ can be unpredictable so the following is not fact, but opinion from the Reporters or Myself, the Editor
"Rumor Has it" is a new section where I tell you the gossip in Jamma, then whether to believe it or not! First Item: Headresses Coming Back. I relive this to be False.
They did not come back last year on thanksgiving, and many members were scammed out of headresses because of it. Don't let yourself be fooled by this, people will tell you their coming back to get the items for cheap, useless rares.

{{New Member Guide}}
Thinking about joining Animaljam? Heres a small guide for you to get started.
(This starts after you've registered)
You'll be dropped off in Jamma with Liz in front of you. Click the ground in front of her to talk to her. She'll tell you a little about animal jam, then you're good. Once there, you're gonna want to customize your animal, or you'll be "flagged" as a newbie. In the bottom left corner, you'll see the face of your animal in a circle. Go on and click that then you should look something like this:

(Okay - not exactly, but you get the idea)
You can use the colors to your right to change your top base and top bottom color. Click the tab with the pair of eyes to change the look of your eyes, then click the zebra stripe tab to add a special marking to your animal. Afterwards, you can either buy items for you or your den. To go to your den, click the bottom right button of a house and it will take you to an empty building. If you decorate it enough, it could become an Epic Den! You can buy items nearly everywhere, but you're going to need gems. You can earn these buy playing games such as Best Dressed (my favorite).

An easy way to get rare items is to buy them on "Free Rare Mondays" then slowly trading your way up.

The Hive Guide

Talk to Cosmo once you start the Adventure. He'll tell you that the phantom king has found a way into Jamma and you need to stop him. Head north by clicking on the phantom webs to destroy them. Keep going until you see Greely the Alpha Wolf; he'll tell you about the phantom pods scattered around. Keep walking until you get to this area:



Cosmo will be on your left, go and talk to him. He'll tell you to bring him 4 alpha stones to unlock the door. Make sure to pick up the torches and boom seeds behind Cosmo. The phantom king is behind the door. Keep going through the hive, talking out phantoms and lighting the larger torches with your own. The cave is pretty big, so don't get upset if you can't find the Alpha Stones immediately.

Once you have all of them, the portal will open and you'll see the phantom king. Don't get scared now! You have to use the boom seeds to defeat him. Wait until he tries to attack you, then use the boom seeds while he's on the ground. Make sure you stay out of his circle of sight so you don't get hurt. Eventually he gets defeated and Cosmo appears to thank you. Head through the portal to return to the Base.

Quickly click one of the games and invite them then cancel it. After a few tries, you should be able to walk on walls!

Trading

{{Are You being Scammed?}}
You may be being scammed if any of the following is true:
~They Ask You to Jamma Gram them items
Stick to the trade system, you will probably get ripped off if they ask you to do this

~Ask you for your password *Do NOT in ANY circumstance give them your password!*
People claim they can "jail Break" your account so it gets rares, THIS IS A SCAM. They just want access to your account and your rares

~They send you an unfair trade, promising a gift.
"Best gift gets my ______" this is usually a scam, so I wouldn't trust it.

~"It's my birthday! Send me things!"
Okay - this is usually a scam and even if it isn't, why would you want to give your hard worked for rares to some person you don't even know? Unless its a buddy, of course.

Stick to the trading system, and be careful. Remember: You do NOT have to accept a trade you feel is unfair.

{{How to Avoid getting scammed}}
Helpful Tips about Avoiding being Scammed.
By ~ Ghastly Chaos ~


Scamming is everywhere and we see it everyday. There are the few scams everyone knows, the " Its my birthday today! Send my Rares! " or " Best trade for my 45 gem necklace gets my outfit! " You can tell a person is scamming if they say one of these words:
1.) Send
2.) Flash { a.k.a. fst trading or flsh party }
3.) No scam
4.) Decline

Usually these people dance or wear rare items they have to attract attention to themselves. If you do flash them the items they want, they probably { and will } quickly accept the unfair trade and log off or refresh. Then your items are gone and so is the person. So I have found some wonderful tips from jammers and here are some of the tips I got:

a.)Don't trade items by sending through the mail, use the trading list. Don't trade back through mail, it can give them a chance to steal.

b.)Don't trade for items you aren't sure if you want, Jammers aren't expected to trade back if you change your mind.

c.)No matter how much you trust a friend, they may turn during a trade through mail, you never know until too late.

These are the basics of not being scammed. Here is a link for the ultimate scamming guide. Fauna ToughClaws has made taken all types of scams and put them on her blog. It will help you recognize many scams and help you avoid them! Of course the Daily Explorer has some perfect tip and even a video! You can find all that here.
Be safe & Jam on!

{{Trading Tips}}
Okay guys, many people wonder why they aren't getting very fair trades. Lets see if I can help remedy this...

First of all, items you get on rare Monday will not get you a normal rare (Ex: Rare Purple Worn won't trade for Black worn)
I have seen many things like this and arguments usually break out. If you want a really rare rare, you're going to have to trade up for it. Also, don't add store bought items on your trade list unless you're giving them away, usually no one will trade for them. Plus, you shouldn't let people bully you into trading them; just report them and leave.

{{Trading Rare Items List}}
The rarest item is also usually the highest in demand, so this list will change sometimes. Here is how it will go:
Kinda Rare = *
Rare = **
Really Rare = ***
Super Rare and in High Demand = ****
Common = #
Uncommon = ##
Uncommon and in Demand = ##**

The List
(I'll update with more items soon)

Spike Collar ****
Worn Blanket ****
Beta Items ****
Non Member Bat Wings ****
Purple "Rare" Worn Blanket **
"Rare" Non Member Bat Wings ##
Legendary Glove (not golden) # (Now in the Diamond Shop)
Mummy Glove (Not Gold) ***
Dragon Glove (Not Gold) ***
Golden Gloves ## - # (Kinda Uncommonish...)
Party Hat **
Rare Elf Cuffs ##
Gazelle Horns ****

Epic Plushies ##**
Diamond Shop Items **

Right now, there are very few legit sites that offer free memberships. If you're lucky, you'll find one that will ask you to complete a survey or play a game. If they ask you to download something, it's probably a virus. I'll tell you if I find a good-honest-site!
