Hello! Welcome to the Animal Jam Gear! I'm re-constructing a lot of things, so the blog looks pretty unorganized right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Glitches • Steampunk Set • Spooky Fence


Hey jammers! Today the steampunk set was released! I can't wait until I can actually buy them. Yeah, we're getting some strange glitches today. First of all, Jam Mart Clothing won't load, and whenever you try to buy items in the steampunk item set, you get this:


:\

Also, the steampunk items obviously aren't priced at 3 gems.

Either way, if you wanna go look at the set, it's located in Outback Imports.




Next, in Jam Mart Furniture, we have the spooky fence to go with the spooky table and spooky rug. Looks pretty cool, and I'm sure the thorns on the fence are sure to keep any scammers out of your yard!

Official Item Name: Spooky Fence
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 350 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only


Yikes, sorry for not posting yesterday. I didn't even get home until 7:00 PM because of conferences. If you really wanna know, the new items yesterday were the Skeletal Dragon Wings and Phantom Lamp, located in Jam Mart Clothing and Jam Mart Furniture.

I hope you have a good rest of the day!
Auf Wiedersehen!


Question of the Week:
On the Night of The Phantoms (Halloween), do you do a little "trick or treating" roleplay on Animal Jam? Do you go to/host parties? Let me know in the comments below!

Epic Dragon Skull • Spooky Table


Yo jammers! How are you doing today? I'm in a rather "ehh" mood, so sorry for the late post. Today was more of a day to just relax for me. Either way, I'm really glad the skeletal dragon set is returning this year, I've been waiting and oh boy has the patience paid off!

Official Item Name: Epic Dragon Skull
Found In: Jam Mart Clothing
Price: 600 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Next is the spooky table, which goes well with the spooky rug released yesterday. Again, I feel like this item should've been nonmember, but oh well.

Official Item Name: Spooky Table
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 450 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Question of the Week:
On the Night of The Phantoms (Halloween), do you do a little "trick or treating" roleplay on Animal Jam? Do you go to/host parties? Let me know in the comments below!



Sorry for the short post again guys. I'll try not to make this a constant thing but jeez, I'm just not in the best mood today.

Spooky Rug


Hey jammers! Today's new item is the spooky rug. Is it actually spooky? ..Nah. Is it nice to have in your den? Sure thing! I feel like this should be a nonmember item, though. Nobody's going to become a member just to get a rug for their den. :L

Official Item Name: Spooky Rug
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 350 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only


We have a new question of the week now that it's Monday again!

Question of the Week:
On the Night of The Phantoms (Halloween), do you do a little "trick or treating" roleplay on Animal Jam? Do you go to/host parties? Let me know in the comments below!


Sorry for both the late post and the short post.. It will always be late every other week (since I'll be at my dad's house and I'm not allowed on the computer until 7:00 AM), but being short like today won't normally happen.

Either way, have a good rest of the day!
Auf wiedersehen!

Plethora of New Items!


Hey guys! Today we have a whole plethora of new items released, and it gets confusing as to which items are new in Jam Mart Furniture because they've started placing them oddly instead of at the very front slot(s) of the first page. Either way, one of the new items released today was the Big Hair with Rollers. In my opinion, this is the scariest of the Halloween items released so far. o.o

Official Item Name: Big Hair with Rollers
Found In: Jam Mart Clothing
Price: 500 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Another newly released item is the Spooky Tree, as seen in the Haunted Forest Party. It's actually a pretty large item, so if you wanna make a large forest of them in your den, it's actually fairly easy as they cover a lot of ground. (Just be sure you have enough gems for that!)

Official Item Name: Spooky Tree
Found In: Epic Wonders
Price: 2,000 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Next, we have the returning skeleton suit. I've actually been waiting for this to return, haha. Although they're not anatomically correct in the slightest, they're still pretty awesome and fun to use. They're also a lot cheaper than the skeleton suits on land.

Official Item Name: Skeleton Suit
Found In: Bahari Bargains
Price: 400 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only, underwater item



Found in Jam Mart Furniture is an ominous, floating candle for your den! A great source of light, and an excellent demonstration of Jamaa's magic abilities. Buy one today!
I know it's not a new item now that I don't see the purple "New!" sign but shhhh

Official Item Name: Floating Candle
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 250 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



*spooky organ music starts playing*

Official Item Name: Scary Organ
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 900 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only


You know, when I think of the word "Scary Organ," I think of internal organs such as lungs, because that's how my mind works. I'm an anatomy freakazoid and study it in my free time. But haha what's wrong with me for thinking of that

Fun Fact:
Did you know that birds have air sacs in addition to lungs?

Pretty cool if you ask me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Bread Hat • Ghosts • Airplane Wings • Pet Haunted House


Hey jammers! Today we have a multitude of new items being released for the upcoming Night of The Phantoms! This bread hat is one of them, and I hear they look exceptionally random and silly on animals. If you're one of those kinds of people who love most of the April Fools items because they're so random and funny, then this bread hat is for you! However, I really feel like they should've made this item nonmember. :\ Anyone else?

Official Item Name: Bread Hat
Found In: Jam Mart Clothing
Price: 400 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Next, we have the returning ghosts! Their eyes follow your cursor as many of you know, which is kinda fun to mess around with.

Official Item Name: Ghosts
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 300 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Ever felt a need to fly around (in the ocean o.o)? That's where the Airplane Wings come in, found in Bahari Bargains for 450 gems!

Official Item Name: Airplane Wings
Found In: Bahari Bargains
Price: 450 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only, underwater item



Let your pets in on the Night of The Phantoms fun with this cute little haunted house replica!

Official Item Name: Pet Haunted House
Found In: Epic Wonders
Price: 2,500 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only


Question of the Week
What are you going to be for Halloween, if anything? If you don't know yet, do you plan to go trick-or-treating or to hand out candy? If you don't celebrate Halloween, is there anything you plan to do on that day instead? Let me know in the comments!

Local Jamaasian Tragedy! Deer Gone Missing!


The deer population of Jamaa has suddenly disappeared. All they left behind is a sign that says "Exploring!", which is our only hint to their motives of their sudden and rather dramatic disappearance. 

The jammers of Jamaa are rather distraught over the matter, and are asking the few deer who stayed behind as to where or what the rest of the their kind is "exploring." However, all deer so far have remained silent.


More news will come as we get more information on the matter.



Giant Phantom • Spiked Spine • Bubbling Cauldron


Ello, jammers! Today we have a few items released, the giant blow-up phantom being one of them. It's a fairly large item if I recall correctly, so make room if you wanna buy it!

Official Item Name: Giant Phantom
Found In: Jam Mart Furniture
Price: 700 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Here we have the spiked spine. Too bad it doesn't come in a bright, striking blue colour, because then you could try to pull off a Sonic costume. Either way, this item is pretty cool, but I wonder if it'll look derpy or deformed on some animals. I'll just have to try it out once I get enough gems.

Official Item Name: Spiked Spine
Found In: Epic Wonders
Price: 2,000 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only



Last but not least, we have the returning bubbling cauldron, which comes in an assortment of glowing colours. I wouldn't recommend sticking your paw/flipper/hoof in, but if you wanna try, don't blame me if you suddenly turn into a frog. (I'll wanna dissect you too, so you might wanna stay away from me when that happens.)

Official Item Name: Bubbling Cauldron
Found In: Epic Wonders
Price: 2,500 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only

Ghost Balloon


Hey jammers! Today's new item is the ghost balloon! If you ever want a tiny little companion to float by your side as you stroll through Jamaa, I would recommend buying this item.

Official Item Name: Ghost Balloon
Found In: Jam Mart Clothing
Price: 350 gems
Limiting Factors: Members-only

Do you guys like the new format for every time I post an item? I think I'll keep this, unless it doesn't get good feedback. The reason I put "limiting factors" instead of "member or nonmember item" is because, well, what if sometime in the near future Animal Jam makes wolf-only items? Or items for jammers who are only a certain adventure level or higher? Plus, if a new ocean item comes out, I can write "is an underwater-item-only" or something like that. Either way, let's move on. There's a new update today!



Despite having arachnophobia, I actually love spiders. I think they're really interesting and I enjoy observing them from a distance (even though they can't harm me, since my state doesn't really have any venomous creatures. And that doesn't exclude spiders). I probably don't sound convincing, but that's the honest truth right there. Next..



Spiked collars and wristbands will return to the diamond shop for this weekend and this weekend only! Hopefully all of you who are fans of them can obtain one or maybe even a few.
Personally I'm not a fan of them but who even cares about my opinion at this point lmao



Here we have the returning Haunted Forest Party and bat facts. Both of them are quite enjoyable, so hopefully you end up encountering either one of them. I also hear the aunted Forest Party has new items, so I'd stick around Jamaa until you get a chance to check them out!



Ohoho, it seems a new animal will soon be coming out way!
*Spoilers for where the clue's located will be at the end of the post, so be warned.*



You now get exclusive new polar bear items when you redeem any animal jam gift card! I don't think you have to get a polar bear for the items, you just have to redeem a gift card (kinda like how ferrets were).


Now for the mystery creature that will be coming to Jamaa soon!
*
*
*

Here's the clue for the new animal, located in Mt. Shiveer. It's probably going to be an arctic animal, because why else would they put it there? I think it's probably going to be an arctic fox because of the small ears and bushy tail on the clue. Arctic foxes have small ears to keep out the snow, and a bushy tail to wrap around their face while they sleep to keep them warm. While I think it might be a species of fox, some have speculated that it might be a red panda, which is very possible. What do you think it might be?

While on the topic of arctic foxes, did you know that most of the year they're not white at all? When most people think of an arctic fox, they think "white fox," when really, they usually look like this:


(No, he/she is not starved. He/she just doesn't have the fluffiness of his/her winter coat)
See? They really do look different. To see more examples, look up something along the lines of "arctic fox summer coat."

Have a great rest of the day!
Auf wiedersehen!

Animal Jam: Play Wild!

Hey jammers! I just got Play Wild, and it's really cool and fun!


This is my wolf (currently), as well as the layout you see when you go to edit your animal! My wolf is currently at a side view, but you can see it from any view you wish because in-game you can spin the animal around. Oh, and there's also a much larger colour palette!

Moving on..


You can take pictures as an in-game feature! You can adjust the zoom and position the camera. This is a picture I took of my wolf inside of the wolf-only hideout! This makes me think that this is AJHQ bringing back animal bases!

Click here to read about animal bases.



Here is the outside of the wolf hideout, and if you're a wolf, you click the little icon to enter. Here is the inside:



(The entrance is on the left but I didn't feel like taking another screenshot just to show you guys the entrance)
There seems to be a Greely "shrine" almost, hahaha


Anyways, here's the other animal hideouts:


The monkey hideout, and...



The bunny hideout.

There are also foxes in-game, but I haven't yet noticed a fox hideout anywhere.

On another note, I found a map of what seems to be lands we've never seen before!
First, here's what you get when you open up the world map:

And here's what you get when you open up the treasure hunt map:


It tells us what it's like beyond the lands we can visit in-game!
I don't know what each of the lands are called, except the land just left of Mt. Shiveer. It's called the "North Timberland," proven by this picture:


Hmm..
However, I really like that one land at the very bottom that appears very lush and has a small body of water within it. It almost reminds me of Almia's setting from Pokemon Rangers, which looks like this:


Actually, come to think of it, the whole MAP looks similar to Almia's. I'm probably overthinking it, so let's move on. This is an Animal Jam post, not a post about my nostalgia associated with video games.




There's a few glitches in Play Wild, as shown above. The first one you can faintly see to the right, the chocolate sprinkles kinda jumped out of my hot cocoa and started floating around.. And on the bottom, my smoothie seems to have a gigantic twin, that was floating around me in circles. I wonder if it wants me to give back its smaller twin. o.o

Okay, this post is long enough as it is, so I'm just gonna wrap it up with a few pictures of the Mira statue.




It gets up and moves around if enough jammers dance around it! If only it did that in the computer version..

Well, that's the end of my post! I hope you all have an awesome day!
