Animal Jam - (Rares) - Sewing Machine

Open Sign (you may have to add)
Brick Walls

Pot O' Gems

Rose Bush (a little more)

Moon Dirt 

Tan Carpet (non-member)

2 RC Cars

2-3 BETA Robots
Mira Statue (a little more)

Animal Jam - Overtraders!

      Ack! Overtraders are really annoying players of Animal Jam, and there are a lot! Overtraders are a group of people who make you overtrade for something not as rare. For example: 

Snowflake Arcticjammer: "Yellow Sweets for Mira Statue?"

Little Majormajor: "Add First Birthday Cake and Firepit, it's fair."

Snowflake Arcticjammer: "No, it's not!" (She gets really annoyed because Little Majormajor was telling her to overtrade.)

This causes a ton of problems. First, Jammers get mad at each other. Second of all, Jammers are basically scamming. Thirdly, the Jammers are not honest with their items.

If you are an overtrader, please don't overtrade. I've encountered thousands while trading in Jamaa; it really makes Animal Jam an unfair and annoying game. Thank you.

Rares Define A Jammer...

     In Nov. 2012, something happened that would affect the Animal Jam community for a long time. It was the beginning of rares starting to really matter, and when huge scams began. Before that time, though, Jammers hardly scammed, and if they did, they would scam some less valuable items. There were also very few scamming tactics that could easily be avoided. But now, a countless amount of people are caught scamming/hacking for rares. Why? Because rares define a Jammer. Having rares gains you more popularity, more power of control, more fans, more gifts, more friend requests, etc. Now you see people in Aldan, trying to force Jammers to overtrade for something stupid, spamming trades, spamming Jam-a-Grams about deals for rares, and so many more annoying things. 

     Now, I don't want to go blaming people for this type of thing, but there is one person who started it all: Julian2. Julian2 is a popular figure in Jamaa, and he gets so many lovers (and haters too), so many people in his den, so many chanters, just because of something that is popular today: Mailtime. You see, many Jammers get jealous of Mailtime. Getting free gifts, even a Rare Item Monday is very rare for any typical Jammer. Many people do not realize that this is all propaganda. 

     So these people are getting absolutely adored; but every gift comes with a price. "What is the price?", you may ask. The price is that these Jammers stress over rares. They have so much pressure, just trying to sit in Jamaa for 10 hours straight trying to get that rare spike or whatever. Whenever something comes back (like Top Hats, Elf Tail Armour, or Rare Fox Hats), they make a video about how bad Animal Jam is. Sure, Animal Jam may have countless flaws, but Animal Jam thinks its Jammers don't care for rares. They say: "Animal Jam doesn't know how many people this affects!", it does affect a ton of rare people; but remember, it's the price you pay for getting all those fans, friend requests, gifts, chants, and other amazing things that millions of other people would love. 

     If you were a new Jammer, new to Animal Jam, you wouldn't know that Animal Jam is about rares (unless someone told you), so you would enjoy the game just as it is. Now, if rares are part of your game, then maybe Animal Jam is not the perfect game for you. Why would you want to stress over a game? It's a game, it's not going to affect who you are, what you do, or who you become. You're gaining nothing when you play Animal Jam, but wasting time worry and under pressure. Is that what you want? If it is, then go ahead, and do it. Animal Jam doesn't give you money if you play their game; in fact, they want you to spend money. You gain nothing precious, only pixels. 

     We must raise awareness that rares are not what defines a Jammer. Start signing the petition, people! 

P.S.

Start by copy and pasting these words onto your blog/site! Copy the picture too; we must end this.

Animal Jam - (Rares) - BETA Green Tiara

     The BETA Tiara is a tiara, and is normally confused with the in-store green tiara. But the only difference is that the store Tiara has a red gem at the top, and the BETA Tiara has a blue/purple gem. This tiara is not worth a whole lot, but it is worth something. This is a very unwanted item, probably because no Jammer cares much for tiaras. The item can also be used by non-members. It is worth:

Small Table

Non-member sword (before it came back in Adventures)

Porch Swing

Old Blanket

BETA Robot

Yellow Sweets (you may have to add)
Mira Statue (you may have to add)
Zios Sculpture

Wood Floor (maybe a little more)

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Blue Vines

     Blue Vines is a BETA member flooring that has blue vines as its appearance. It is an uncommonly seem BETA. It is worth:

Zios Sculpture

Rare Short/Long Spike Wristband (might be worth a Rare Collar)

Porch Swing

Bubblegum Machine

Small Table

Wood Floor

River Race

RC Car

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Open Sign

     Open Sign is a super rare BETA. This BETA is an animated item and when you click on it, it turns into a closed sign. The Open Sign has a palm tree right next to it, which seems a bit odd. Maybe this sign was made for beaches? Anyways, this super rare item is worth:

Short/Long Spike Collar (most likely a long, but certain colours)

Pot O' Gems
Moon Dirt

Spaceship Walls

Rose Bush

Tan Carpet (non-member)
2 Mira Statues

2 Yellow Sweets

2 Zios Sculpture

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Scarecrow

     The Scarecrow is an uncommonly talked about item. It is a BETA item for all Jammers. It's a tiger on a cross stick. (It kinda reminds me of Jesus when he was hung.) It is worth:

Rare Short Spike Wristband

Porch Swing

BETA Television

2 BETA Mats

Small Table

Wood Floor

River Race (a little less)

Rocking Horse

RC Car

Sidekix Plushie

Heads-Up About Rare Posts...

     Writing about rares is really fun. I enjoy it, I do. But the blog contains almost every single rare there is (not including Rare Item Mondays, nobody cares about those); and I'm afraid that there won't be many more posts about rares. Rares are a high demand in the game, so many people look for blogs with information about rares. The only rare I can think of that I didn't write are Spaceship Walls, Sewing Machine, Plagues, and Open Sign. Many Jammers have told me to write about the Fly Trap, but honestly, it's not worth much; no more than a Cat Banner, Books, Basketball, Bongo Drums, or Orange Gecko Plushie. If you can think of any other rare/BETA, let me know in the comments. 

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Orange & Blue Mats

     The "BETA" Mat item in Animal Jam is rarely seen, but not that rare. They come in 2 colours: orange & blue. They are about worth the same. These items are a bit slumpy and have white stripes. There is also a small dot in the middle of that mat. The mats can also be used by non-members too. Here is what it's worth:

Candy Basket (you'll have to add)

Basketball

Books

Rare Bow and Arrows

Rare Party Hat (hard to find if someone will accept that trade)

Rare Giant Lion Plushie (you may have to add)

2-4 Rare Item Mondays
Headdress

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Rose Bush

     The Rose Bush is a members-only den item. It was released in February 2011, but kinda unwanted. It's super rare, and hardly ever seen. It only comes in one colour. The Rose Bush has brown roots with green leaves and a several red roses. It is worth:

Tan Carpet (Non-member)
Moon Dirt

Short/Long Spike Collar (certain colours)

About 2 Mira Statues 

About 2 Zios Sculptures

BETA Robot (person has to add a small rare/BETA)

About 2 Yellow Sweets

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Small Table

      The Small Table is a non-member BETA. Personally, I think it's a weird shape. It's round, but the legs are too short. It's a blue wooden table. It is worth:

Flower Carpet

Cami's Frog

Short/Long Rare Spike Wristband

Blue Vines

Bubblegum Machine

BETA Rocking Horse (a little more)

River Race

BETA Blanket

BETA Tiara

Mira Statue (maybe a little less)

Zios Sculpture (maybe a little less)

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Bubblegum Machine

     The BETA Bubblegum Machine (often referred as Gumball Machine) is a common but moderate seen BETA. It only comes in one form, and is a members-only item. The machine is basically a red and yellow object with a red hole in the middle and a gray button. The bubblegums in that machine are multicoloured: red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, and green. It is worth:

Cami's Frog

BETA Television

BETA Table

RC Car

Mechanical Angel Helmet (depends on colour)

Short Spike Wristband

Flower Carpet

Blue Vines

Animal Jam - (Areas) - Crystal Sands

     Crystal Sands is Jamaa's "tropical area." Jammers go there either to access the juice hut, or to slide down the water slides. Tierney's Aquarium is also located there, where you can play the Touchpool game. From Crystal Sands, you can go to 3 oceans: Crystal Reef, Bahari Bay, and Kani Cove (from Tierney's Aquarium). If you go through the cave, it is a shortcut to Mt. Shiveer. Plus, it also leads you to Canyons Pathway, which is a bit of a secret area. The Pet Wash is also there.

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Wood Floor

     The Wood Floor is a non-member BETA. Many Jammers think it's really rare; but in fact, it's not as rare as some may think. It only comes in one colour: brown. What it is worth is as follows:

Cami's Frog

BETA Table

Porch Swing

Flower Carpet (maybe a little less)

BETA Television

BETA Tiara 

River Race (a little less)

Legendary Glove (before it came back in the Diamond Shop)

Short/Long Spike Wristband (depends on Jammer)

Candy Basket
