How to get Rare

We thought it might be a good idea to make a page on how to get rare, so hopefully if you do not have the required proof, you can still recover your lost items yourself. This page is for everyone, not just A.S.O. staff members and jammers who we cannot reach. I hope this page is helpful to you, and we sincerely hope you can recover your lost items, or get your dream item!

Pack Runs. (Members Only.)

I'm talking about all the prizes you get from them. Always check the chests you find when in a pack run, they contain some pretty good items, such as Griffin Wings, Cat Ushanka Hats, Dragonfly Wings, Firefly Necklaces, Campfires, A-Frame Bookshelves, and Train Sets. Also the prizes you get from finding enough Fireflies, Acorns, Presents, etc are good, too, like black/white Firefly Wings, Pet Squirrels, and Pack Run Spikes.

Pet Treasures & leveled Pets. (Members Only)

Level 4 and 5 pets are the target. Though, many inactive jammers struggle to level up their pets, so instead they try buying or trading for them. Start by selecting 3-10 pets from your inventory, and care for them at least twice a day; every morning and every night. I know, this takes awhile. It can take months to level up a pet to 5, that's why you handle more than one at a time. Be sure to use your pets at all times, also make sure that your pet is content and happy as you explore jamaa. If your pet is happy as you travel jamaa, (doesn't work in any den.) There's a small chance it will find a random prize (Such as currency and den items). Not everyone knows this. All they think about are pet expeditions which also give good items. So mainly your target is sending pets on 3 day and 5 day expeditions and keeping them happy.

Leilani.

Have you heard of Leilani before? I'm sure you have. She's the arctic wolf who appears on top of the volcano in Moku Ahi every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. How to get rare from her, hoard seasonal items, treasure hunt items (in store sapphire animals specifically), Pack run items (shown above), and items that are leaving soon. Hopefully you just might get lucky, like that time I was hoarding Bear Welcome Mats and Leilani wanted them for Jamalliday Faerie Wings.

Secret Area shops.

Yep, that's right. Secret area shops can get you rare. A long time ago, my first sapphire animal was an arabian horse. They left not long after I had gotten one. I then came to Horse Haven and bought the items. Later, I stocked up on a ton of the items and put them on trade and said, "I'm accepting all trades!" and most of the items were bad, of course, but I sometimes got member gifts (Including turtle arm bands which are now rare today) and now today I have good items. I recommend doing this, but with the new trading thing, say only one item at a time so someone can't take them all for themselves.

Promo items.

You probably already knew that u get rare from promos, but on spring 2019 I got my first ajbox! It was the animal jam doodlebox, and it had 2 redeem codes in it. I redeemed the first one and got a Rare Crossbow and an Arctic Fox Throne. I redeemed the second one and got literally the exact same thing disappointingly. Later, I discovered the Rare Crossbow was worth a blackout spike and add! I traded it for a rainbow spike which was my dream item at the time. (I have a backstory for my rainbow spike that I posted awhile ago.) I still have the other Rare Crossbow which I'm trading for a shark tail. (offer is shown on my message wall.)

Touch Pool. (Not efficient)

Ah, Touch Pool. An easy and fun way to earn gems and sapphires, but did you know that you can get items from it other than the plushies? Just follow these steps:

1. Touch all of the fish and complete your Touch Pool log.

2. Exit the game and enter it again.

3. Start touching rays. You'll find out why on the next step.

4. Eventually, a golden ray will appear, touch it if you can.

5. Once you have touched the golden ray, you will get the Touch Pool Trophy.

6. Repeat #3 and #4. Note that you will get lots of junk as you progress. Not everything is junk, however. If it's a seasonal item or you don't see it in stores, hang on to it in case of Leilani which you read earlier. The items you are looking for: School Lockers, Pixelated Bookshelf & Window, Vintage Kitchen Chair, Elephant Shoji Screen, Star Rug, Rare Spiderweb lamp, Pitcher Plant, and a Wooden Toy Box. Note that the items listed are not very valuable. Start by trading them for better items such as A-Frame Bookshelves, Train Sets, Campfires, and other pet treasure/pack run den items.

Trading.

Got any good items but don't know what to do with them? Do they end up sitting in your inventory and gathering dust? Lets say, someone has a pair of pixelated wings, but doesn't know what to trade them for. Try getting other items (especially items that it goes with colorwise, like make an outfit) and put them on trade. Go to a good area for trading, such as the raccoons/foxes/horses/tigers/sheep only party, fox/arctic wolf secret hideout, or a famous jammer's den (aka a trading den) if you have even better items such as blackout spikes and forest gauntlets. If you don't know any good trading dens, you can always ask around! (If you don't own a sapphire animal, you can also go to the sapphire shop or trading party, but you'll get more "Oof" trades.)

Pack Chest Gifts & Weekly Member Gifts. You prob read in a previous tip about how Turtle Arm Bands were not rare at the time, and 2 years later I see them on wishlists. Welp, you might think that any old item you get from the membership you paid so much for, is not worth much. Well, that is soooooo wrong! Look at Ice Dragon Wings. They used to be worth hardly anything. Today, jammers struggle to get them. So, if you have Punk Arm Cuffs, Fire Wings, or some other cool pack chest/weekly member gift, hang on to it! You just might get lucky a year or two later!

Have an awesomely wonderful day!
