Animal Jam - (Rares) - Firepit

     The BETA Firepit is 1 of the most beloved items in Animal Jam. It is an animated item. It is surrounded with rocks and coal, with a fire blazing in the middle. Firepits are worth Worn Blankets before they came back in Adventures BETA. It's also worth lots of the BETA wallpapers and den flooring. The Firepit is worth:

Yellow Sweets

Mira Statue

Gazelle Horns (certain colours)

Spaceship Walls

Planet Walls

Red Brick Walls

Rare Long Spike Collars (certain colours)

2 Blue Vines

2 Porch Swings (approximately)

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Pink Forest Walls

     Pink Forest Walls are quite a valuable BETA. They are worth a Red Worn (the used to be). I'm not quite sure what exactly they're worth, but they should be worth: 

Blue Shag Carpet

Yellow Sweets 

Planet Walls 

Firepit 

Rare Short Spike Collar 

Blue Vines 

Mira Statue 

These are a member item. You should keep them and wait until they get more rare. Like most BETAs, they only come in 1 form. 

Animal Jam - (Rares) - Sidekix Plushies

     Sidekix Plushies are similar to buying rares. These plushies are worth quite a lot. At Animal Jam Outfitters, they cost $11.95 each. There is also a Mega Plushie Pack which costs $49.95 and it comes with 5 Sidekix Plushies: Fox, Wolf, Tiger, Bunny, and Penguin. Sidekix Plushies are worth from BETAs to rares. 

     What are they worth? Well, depending on the plushie, and the rarity scale from rarest to lowest is: panda, crocodile, giraffe, bunny, penguin, fox, wolf, and tiger. The panda and crocodile is worth a Long Spike Wristband (certain colours). The giraffe is worth a Rare Cloud (any type). The bunny is worth a BETA Candy Basket or a BETA Fish Fountain. The penguin is worth up to 4 Rare Bow and Arrows. The fox is worth about a penguin, but a little less. Wolf and tiger are worth the same thing. 2-3 of these plushies can get you a Zios Sculpture. They should all be worth some some of BETA.

Adventures - More Gems and Courage

     Tons of players play Adventures BETA. One reason: gems. I care about the courage, but I'm pretty sure many Jammers need the gems more. Anyways, I have been wondering which Adventures BETA gives you the most gems or courage or both in the quickest way. You are welcomed to tell people which Adventures should be avoided if you were playing it for these reasons. Here are some responses I've heard from interviewing several Jammers:

     "Well, if you want to focus on gems and courage, do The Hive. It's only available to members only though. I recommend hard mode. Make sure to capture all phantoms and break all phantom pods. Get all the treasure chests, too. Try to do it by yourself, it may take around 15-25 minutes, but it's worth it! Oh, and, make sure to light the firepits with torches, they give you extra courage. Try going as a horse or an elephant to open the secret passage, you'll get a bonus treasure chest, and you can sell the item you get for gems. Additionally, you'll get +25 courage, too! If you kill the Phantom King, you will get +200 courage. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE THE THIRD CHEST, YOU WILL GET 1,500 GEMS AS A BONUS AT THE END! For non-members, I think Return of the Phantoms (normal mode) will get you tons of gems and courage. Hard mode has gotten much harder since Animal Jam made it so that when you die, the key/cork will drop in the spot where you died. I used to just get key/cork; wait until the phantoms zap me till I die, then I will respawn at the respawning place. That's a shortcut. But now I would suggest Return of the Phantoms normal mode. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE THE FOURTH CHEST, YOU GET 500 GEMS AS A BONUS!" -Grand Happyhorse

     "For courage, do The Great Escape, you get tons of courage! Those light beam thingies give you +25 courage each! If you are looking for gems, do not do that. It will only give about 700-800 gems each time you complete it." -Juniper Berrydolphin

     "For gems, do Meet Cosmo. It wastes about 30-60 minutes. Yes, it takes very long, but you'll get a satisfying amount of gems. You should get about 3,000 to 4,000 gems. It is by far the longest Adventure there is; but it is worth the gems. For courage, I recommend Return of the Phantoms (normal or hard mode). Please make sure to avoid The Phantom Portal; that one is not very worth it. It takes quite long, about 15-25 minutes, and you barely get any courage or gems!" -Old Grandpaw

     "ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THIS: AVOID THE PHANTOM PORTAL AND MEET COSMO. THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT! THEY TAKE SUPER LONG! IN MEET COSMO, IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS AND I ONLY GOT 4,000 GEMS! IT WAS WAY TOO TIME CONSUMING AND WAY TOO CONFUSING! NEVER EVER DO MEET COSMO, EVER!" -Infinity Arcticwolf

     "Just do Return of the Phantoms. Super short, but you get tons of courage and gems. That's how many non-members leveled up fast. That's all they did." -Twinkle Berrypaw

     "Well, I've done all the Adventures, and by far I find The Hive the best one for courage. You get +200 courage for killing that awkward Phantom King in hard and normal mode. Do it, it won't fail you!" -Arctic Wolf

     "I don't normally play Adventures BETA, since I am a non-member and they get really boring. But I usually do Return of the Phantoms for gems and courage. Try not to do the Phantom Portal." -Knight Magicmajor

     "I play Adventures BETA all the time! I am currently level 14 and I play The Hive to get to this high level. It's really cool. I just killed the Phantom King several times, and you should be boosted with loads of gems and courage." -Arctic Wolf

     "Playing Adventures BETA is the only reason I have more than 8,000 gems right now! It is awesome! My strategy? Play Return of the Phantoms. Really quick, and get you a load of gems. About 1,000 gems per round." -King of the Jungle

Animal Jam - (Rares) - BETA Candy Basket

     The BETA Candy Basket is by far my favourite BETA of all Animal Jam. It's not that rare. Not as rare as Yellow Sweets, Moon Dirt, etc. But it used to be worth a Legendary Glove, but since Legendary Gloves are in the Diamond Shop, then now no. The Legendary Glove used to be worth (depending on the colour) a BETA Porch Swing, a Sidekix Plushie (any kind), and you can add so it's worth a BETA Firepit or a Fish Fountain. This BETA is rarely seen, I'm the only person I know who has it. Many BETA people have this item, but they NEVER put it on their trade list, only because there are a million more BETAs worth more than this particular one. If you have a Candy Basket, and you want to trade it away, make sure you get a good deal out of it. Some people are so naive they will offer something good for it just because they don't see it very often.
