Honorable mention - Buy them! You can get diamonds through Animal Jam official website. However, it’s a better deal to buy membership as it comes with more diamonds and sapphires. Before buying make sure the website is the official site and not a scam!

#5 Sell items from adventures - The adventures give a lot of desirable nature items that jammers want. Some don’t have time to play adventures so they will buy items off you for diamonds! Additionally, The Forgotten Desert sometimes gives out rares such as den betas and spiked wrists, which can be sold for diamonds.

#4 Create masterpieces and sell them - Creating masterpieces is a great way to make diamonds. With some practice, you can make your art look amazing! A lot of people are willing to get commissions of their favorite characters or buy meme art (I know I definitely like memes on masterpieces!). Plus, you can multiple copies of a masterpiece to sell to more jammers!

#3 Enter giveaways - Many players will host giveaways on social media such as Instagram and Youtube. Through this giveaways sometimes they give out diamonds. Although this method isn’t guaranteed it doesn’t hurt to enter them!

#2 Sells pets with effects - Ducks, snakes, and dogs can get special effects through their respective games. Some people don’t have the time to get the effects themselves, so they are willing to pay diamonds for it.

#1 Sell unwanted items - Another good way to get diamonds is to sell unwanted items in your inventory. You never know, some of those items could be worth a lot of diamonds! If most of the items are low demand, you could try creating a “dollar store”. Each item would be sold for 1 diamond.

That’s it for today Jammers! Hopefully through one of these methods you can earn more diamonds! Do you have a favorite way of earning diamonds? Let us know in comments!

Number #5 - Rare Fancy Ballet Tutu

I absolutely love the colors on this RIM! I also find the tutu on Animal Jam very cute and I think it would look great on a lot of animals.

Number #4 - Rare Frosted Striped Socks

I love the striped socks item on animal jam so this is a perfect fit for the list! I also love the color blue and think it looks very pretty on this item.

Number #3 - Rare Year of the Snake Plushie

This RIM is so cute and unique! Animal Jam does not release a lot of den RIMS so it’s nice to see one every once in a while.

Number #2 - Rare Lovely Heart Ring.

The colors in this RIM compliment each other so well. I also adore how this item has heart effects!

Number #1 - Rare Spring Lei

This RIM is my favorite so far this year! I love how the Lei looks on animals and I think the color combo is very aesthetic. 

That’s it for today jammers! Look out for an article at the end of the year of the top TEN RIMS of 2025! Got a favorite RIM from 2025 or just in general? Let us know in the comments!

Well you're in luck! It's antsrulez back here again with an informative article tutorial. This article will be providing a step-by-step guide on how to set up and manage your own roleplay in your den in Animal Jam Play Wild!

Step 1- Think carefully about which den you are going to want to use. Make sure to take into consideration the size of the den, the customizability of the den and to ask yourself, ‘does the den represent the type of roleplay you are wanting to hold?’

Step 2- Customise your carefully selected den to tailor and adapt it to the type of roleplay you are thinking of doing. The default small house, which is the one I've selected for this article, is great for a small family roleplay of around 6 Jammers. The dollhouse is also a great option if you're wanting a larger family role play!

Step 3- Next, find Jamaa Township on your world map and head to the pillow room if this is the place you want to go to. This place is well known for not only holding the most fascinating of public role plays but also its an amazing place to advertise your own role plays that you are wanting to hold yourself.

Step 4- Now, what you want to do after you've headed to your chosen location is to advertise your roleplay. Just to note that everyone has their own preference as to where they advertise but many would agree that the pillow room which can be found in Jamaa Township as circled on the map in red pen; this is the best place to find like minded Jammers to let your roleplay come to life. This is the location I have chosen to showcase these steps to this guide.

Step 5- Once you have done and considered both step 3 and 4, make sure there are plenty of Jammers in the pillow room to make the most of the power of your advertisement. Always keep in mind that this is also a popular place where public roleplays may take place as well as the fact that there may be other Jammers who are also in the same boat as you advertising their own homemade roleplay in the same location as you. If this is causing an issue or you're not getting the outcome you need attendance wise, it may be best to log out and back in to get taken to a different server with a different target audience. Advertising may take some time, so bear that in mind when advertising. Make sure what you're advertising is accurate and catchy to the eye of onlooking Jammers, similar to the message I wrote in the Image.

Step 6- Time for the roleplay to commence! Once you've gotten all the Jammers you need you can begin to allocate the roles needed for the roleplay to begin, but be sure to not make anyone feel pressured into a role they don't want to participate in. Also, make sure that you are careful and considerate of what other Jammers are wanting to do within reason for the roleplay to officially begin. This is also a good opportunity to take on board how long people are wanting to participate for, as it is essential to a smooth running roleplay and so that you are prepared with backups for when this does happen.

Quick troubleshooting guide!

What if a jammer drops out suddenly?

You can ask one of your buddies to substitute in, or you can use a plushie or even a pet!

What if no one wants to participate?

If this is the case, maybe try to advertise at a different time in the day. Some jammers are in different timezones!

Can non-members hold roleplays?

Of course they can! Different items may need to be used as you won't be able to use member props but you can still hold a very successful roleplay without membership.

A Jammer has raided by role play, what can I do?

If another Jammer has raided your role play with extra unexpected Jammers, you can add the cast of your role play as buddies then lock your den to remove anyone who is not your buddy. However, be sure to select the correct setting otherwise you could accidentally remove everyone.

What if I cannot find a prop or item I desperately need for the role play?

Check the shops dotted around the world, and if you're still struggling to find the perfect item then you can try the Market Place. However, the items may be a little bit more expensive, especially if they are a rarer item or it's an item that is out of season.

What if I don't have enough in game currency to buy props or items for the role play?

You can sell some items you either don't need or don't use anymore if you have a shop available to use. If that's not an option, you can play minigames or recycle unwanted items to generate a larger supply of in game currency to use.

I've finished acting in my roleplay, how do I wrap it up?

You can announce to the Jammers participating that ‘it's a wrap’ or anything on similar lines to that. You can even just say ‘the role play is now over, thank you for participating!’ However, be sure to thank the Jammers who helped make your role play come to life as if you leave and go offline suddenly, they may be confused about what is happening.

Happy roleplaying!

If you’re stumped and can’t find the plushies, look no further. Our guide will help you easily find these plushies that are hiding around Jamaa! 

Tyrannosaurus Rex Plushie - Jamaa Township

This plushie is hidden behind some autumn leaves next to the Pillow Room. 

Pteranodon Plushie - Sarepia Forest

This plushie is hiding behind the recycling bin by the icon to play Super Sort. 

Triceratops Plushie - Mt. Shiveer

This plushie is hiding in the icy lake in the bottom right corner of Mt. Shiveer.

Parasaurolophus Plushie - Kimbara Outback

This plushie is hidden behind a barrel of pumpkins near the waterfall and pond. 

Stegosaurus Plushie - Appondale

This plushie is hiding behind the claw machine in the Conservation Museum. 

Brachiosaurus Plushie - Crystal Sands

Good luck on your prehistoric hunt to collect all of the plushies! Shoutout to Raven for gathering the screenshots!

What made you want to join the archives?

I wanted to join the Archives team because it is a big community of creative jammers who help make assets, backgrounds and more for others to use! I also wanted to help make assets!

I make thumbnails and assets If you could have any other position in the archives which one would it be and why? I would probably be a caption writer since I enjoy writing!

What is your favorite thing about the archives and why?

The helpful community and jammers in the team.

If you could give advice to someone wanting to join the archives, what would it be?

I’d say that you should be creative and not to be worried about taking your time on work and projects!

1- Pamper your pet!

There is nothing more fun than putting adorable little outfits on your beloved pets, you can do this by heading to appendale and galloping into the tree house and finding the little barber’  chair to begin the fun!

2- decorate your den with a prompt from a random word generator

There is a vast range of websites and apps which will generate a random word for you. You can then use this as inspiration to decorate your den to meet the expectations associated with the word that has been chosen for you.

3- read the howl

You never know what you could find in the Howl, from amazing art to new updates for wildworks. You might even get some inspiration for your own creative ideas!

4- role play with friends

From a family role play to a supermarket, let your future career aspirations lead your creativity when it comes to role playing with your friends. If you need more people feel free to head to the pillow room located in the Jamaa township to fill any gaps in your fantasy role play!

5- go to parties!

You will always find at least one person at the party that is being rotated around, from a cruise ship to a play as your pet party, which allows you to play as your beloved pet. It even allows you to show off your pets’ outfits and gives you the chance to purchase items exclusive to each party respectively.

6. Necklace to spike challenge

The Necklace to spike challenge is a fun challenge that requires a decent amount of time! Start off with a necklace and try to trade it for bigger items. Eventually, see if you can get enough items for a spike! It’s easier to start off by trading for a rim, then working your way up to clothing betas and den betas.

7. Do all the adventures on hard mode

Doing all the adventures on hard mode will take up a significantly more amount of time than normal! Plus, you get a cooler set of prizes that more players desire.

8. The Forgotten Desert Speedrun

The Forgotten Desert has been back for some time now. Grab a few buddies or jammers from Jamaa to see what prizes you can win!

9. Give gifts to random jammers. 

Everyone likes to get a gift, no matter how big or small. You could look in your inventory to see what you dont want and gift random people around the lands!

10. Outfit Challenge

This challenge can be quite fun, especially with friends. Close your eyes and pick random colours, then try to make an outfit based on the colours. As you can see from my example, my fashion skills need work. 

And that's a wrap! We hope you enjoyed our JAMTASTIC article! If you would like to see more collaborative articles let us know in the comments. Jam on!

When the final piece (out of 2,400) was found, the final scale appeared around the fountain. Now, when clicked on, there are many new options when wishing.

When you click on the fountain, you can choose for a pet dragon, a pet unicorn, to grow up your fantasy pet, to see other wishes granted, and to see your pet all grown up.  If you choose to wish for a dragon, these are the options you can choose when customizing. Additionally, a new feature is you can see what your fantasy pet will look like all grown up. It is very helpful when choosing if you want to grow up your dragon or unicorn.

What Are Wishing Coins?

Wishing coins first appeared when unicorns were released and have been dropped by Owlbert.  They can be used to get a pet unicorn or pet dragon from the wishing well or to grow up a fantasy pet.  Wishing coins can now be purchased through the premium store, bought from the my-shop explorer, or traded for.  

How To Get A Pet Dragon

1. Click on the symbol over the wishing fountain

2. Select “I wish for a Pet Dragon”

It costs one wishing coin for a pet dragon. If you want to customize their features it costs one more coin for each feature you want to customize like Color, Eye Color, Tail, Spine, Horns, etc.

1. Once you’ve chosen all (or none) of the features you want to customize click: Make a Wish

2. It will give you a heads up that the process is “unpredictable” and that the Wishing Well might surprise you with something “a little different” than what you wished for.

Congratulations, you have an adorable pet dragon! Now you might be saying: But how do I make it a playable avatar?

Growing Up Your Pet Dragon

Luckily this process is quite easy, and your pet doesn’t even need to be level 5! All it will cost you is one more wishing coin. 

1. Head back to the wishing fountain and click the symbol on the top

2. This time select “I wish to grow up my Fantasy Pet”

3. Select the Pet you wish to grow up

4. Make your wish again and you’re all set!

Rare, Epic, And Legendary Dragons

Depending on how many coins are used to make a wish for a fantasy pet they might have a Rare, Epic, or Legendary symbol.  Dragons can be normal, rare, epic, or legendary. They can have multiple rare+ traits, BUT if they have a rare and say an epic/legendary trait, it only shows the epic or legendary tag; higher rarities take priority with their special "tag.”

Comprehensive Table Of Rare+ Dragon Traits

Special effects when epic show up on the horns, wins, and spine. When legendary they show up all over the body.

Examples

Do you think dragons are the last pet to be in the wishing well? Which ones do you think might be next if not?  What will YOU be wishing for?

1. When creating a username make it unique and you! My favorite username prompts relate to my favorite animals, colors, or pop culture! Make sure to not include any personal information such as addresses, real names, and other important information in your username. For passwords, make it unique and include a combination of letters and numbers!

2. Collect gems and sapphires through playing games! Check the quests in the side tab of the game icon and there are many sapphire rewards to claim which is enough to buy your first animal, den, or pet! You can collect so many gems by playing these games even after you collect all your sapphires!

3. You can get a free pet in a side tab (to the right side of the screen by settings) on your Animal Jam game! The pet can be a dog or cat that can be customized by randomization. 

4. Watch the guides on Animal Jam to help you navigate games and to find more tips! You can find these in theaters around Jamaa as well as in the game tab when you press on the game you want to play. Tutorials are made by Animal Jam HQ and Jambassadors!

5. Get involved with community games! If you follow jambassadors or Animal Jam on Instagram, Youtube, or read the Daily Explorer, there are a bunch of parties and contests to get you more involved and to grow your account.

6. Utilize the bubble or unfiltered chat! Even if you only use bubble chat, you can still get involved with the community through trading and games. There are popular and useful phrases to use: “do you want to trade?” “can we be buddies” and so on!

7. Redeem prizes through codes in the settings tab! Throughout the year Animal Jam may create a free redeemable code for you to use to get whatever gift may be inside. 

8. There is a 7-day free trial for players! While you do have to put in a card to get it working, it is a great option to test out member features before buying.

9. You can buy membership with 600 sapphires! A lot of jammers don’t know you can go to the sapphire shop and in the member section of the store you can pay for membership using in-game currency.

10. Non-members can join packs too! It is such an amazing way to meet jammers with the same interests as you, get cool featured items each month, and support your favorite Alpha!

That’s all for our tips for beginner jammers, and the members of the archives hope you have fun with leveling up and exploring the game! Watch out for more tips just like this.

Without further delay, here is the interview!

What made you want to join the Animal Jam Archives?

-Animal Jam has been one of my special interests for a long time, so being able to work with like minded people on more behind the scenes sort of things in the community really interested me!

What is your role for the Animal Jam Archives?

-I'm a thumbnail creator!

If you could have any other position in the Animal Jam Archives which one would it be and why?

-I'd love to be an author, but I definitely would need to work on my writing skills. I love creating stories and reviewing things in-game!

What is your favorite thing about the Animal Jam Archives and why?

-I love that even though it's a pretty large group, it's actually very close-knit! Everyone is helpful and supportive of one another!

1) Make a masterpiece of your favorite avatar!

Making masterpieces can be super fun! To give yourself a challenge, you could draw your favorite avatar. Maybe you could also draw your friends' look or draw a Jambassador. Put some Lofi music in the background and drawing can become very relaxing!

2) Give a gift to another jammer!

Gifts can really make someone's day and they are such a kind gesture! You could go to Jamaa Township, pick a random jammer and give them a gift. The gift can be anything from a blackout spike to a rare pet! The gift can be on the smaller side as well, at the end of the day it’s the thought that counts!

3) Try to get all the game achievements!

Did you know you could get sapphires for completing certain achievements for minigames? Some of the prompts are harder than others, but with effort it can certainly be done. If you’re super bored, trying to complete all of this will take plenty of time! You will also get a good amount of sapphires out of it. 

4) Create a look using the grayscale filter

In this challenge, you have to go into your device's settings and change the display to grayscale. This will make everything on your screen turn to shades of gray. For a fun challenge, try making a look with the grayscale. Once finished, turn your display back to normal and see how the colors look!

5) Do a pack run with friends!

Pack runs are an enjoyable activity to do in Animal Jam! Playing with friends is even better. A fun way to burn time would be by asking your buddies to do a Pack Run! You never know what prizes you could receive… 

6) Browse My Shop Explorer!

Use this time to find the goofiest of items, or even items that are unexpectedly cheap! Did you know, you can sort your list from the price to even the rarity with the little button in the bottom left corner of the shop!

7)  Pamper your beloved pets!

If you do not have the pet station in your possession, you can usually ask one of your friends or other jammers to see if they have one in their den that you can use. Did you know, the more you pamper your pets, the more energy they get? This will be useful when sending them on a mission!

8) Create your favorite characters into Master Blocks!

Do you have a favorite anime or cartoon character? If you do, that will be an amazing base to create a pixel art version of your much beloved characters. You can find shared pixel art diagrams on the internet to help guide your creation!

9) Defend and protect your buddies from Pop Up Phantoms!

Keep those pesky Phantoms at bay by using a suitable back item to launch boom seeds at the Phantoms that can be spawned by the Phantom Howl potion. Did you know, you can get other potions and even alpha items from the drops of these phantoms!

10) Participate in a local roleplay!

Sip some hot cocoa and gossip with your buddies in a role play of a coffee shop, or you can even pretend to look after your family after a long day of attacking phantoms. Did you know, you don’t always need other jammers to role play, you can role play on your own and even with your pets!

And that concludes our list! Which one was your favorite? We hope Animal Jam is more fun for you after reading this list, Jam On!

-Candybats and Antsrulez

Hello everyone, my name is antsrulez. On Monday the 18th of December at around 6pm GMT, myself and other fellow jammers noticed that Animal Jam Classic had routinely updated. We were thrilled about this until we made the puzzling discovery that the adventure (that is well known for its extensive prize variation) was closed off. The in-game and Discord chats became flooded with utter disbelief and widespread confusion. Many who had access to a flying animal at this time went to investigate the situation further due to the absurdity of these circumstances. The adventure portal, which is located at the Adventure Base Camp, has been closed off by emeralds and cannot even be accessed by the drop-down menu on the world map. Many jammers are trying to piece together the puzzle of this occurrence, but luckily the people over at Animal Jam Headquarters released a statement regarding the change made in the most recent update:

“AJ Classic's "The Forgotten Desert" Adventure has been disabled due to unforeseen technical issues. Right now, we don't have an estimate of when it will become available again. We apologize for the inconvenience!”

Animal Jam Headquarters are implying in this quote that it will, at some point, be available again, hopefully the delay won’t be too long. Some players have been known to use certain exploits and cheats in the adventure, and these activities have caused the game to have some problems, hence AJHQ’s mention of “technical issues''.

So how are players reacting to the unexpected closure of the adventure portal? 

Well… they’re holding community gathering services to share their fond memories of their time being able to complete the adventure. And some are even rearranging their dens to recreate a similar replica of the adventure to roleplay in their dens with other fellow jammers.

What are Friendship Points?

Friendship Points are a currency found within Animal Jam, and they are awarded when somebody sends a point over to a buddy or pack member. A maximum of 25 points can be sent per day, and a maximum of 25 can be claimed per day. However, more can be earned in the background if you reach the claim limit. 

How do I send a Friendship Point?

Go to the buddies tab and click the tab above that looks like a Jam-A-Gram with a heart in it. There you will see the Friendship Points menu, how many points you have, and how many points you have sent and claimed today. Below this shows all your buddies and pack members. You can send a friendship point using the green SEND icon and collect a point using the blue COLLECT icon. There are also options to send and claim all at the bottom of the screen if you choose to use that. A fun way to interact with your buddies is by sending a Friendship Point back once one is sent to you.

Where do I use Friendship Points?

Friendship Points can be redeemed at your Pack Hideout, each having a different spot they can be redeemed. Check the photo below for where the Friendship Points Exchange is located in your Alpha allegiance. The items sold here are found within the hideouts themselves and change based on the Alpha your hideout is based on. There also is a Leek clothing item in the shop as well.

Friendship Points are a fun way to interact with buddies everyday without talking to them. They are quite hard to get, so be sure to remember to collect them every day in order to get some pretty cool items!

In Crystallis there was an upper room with a weird symbol of Mira. It seemed to be linked with the new Alpha Crystals.

Earlier today December 13th the 1,000th Alpha Crystal Piece was found and a wishing well appeared. The wishing well can be activated with wishing coins.

What are wishing coins?

Wishing coins first appeared this week and were dropped by Owlbert. They can be used to get a pet unicorn from the wishing well, or to grow up a fantasy pet. Wishing coins can now be purchased through the premium store, bought from the my-shop explorer, or traded for.

How to get a Pet Unicorn

1. Click on the symbol over the wishing fountain

2. Select “I wish for a Pet Unicorn”

   1. It costs one wishing coin for a pet unicorn, if you want to customize their features it costs one more coin for each feature you want to customize, like Color, Eye Color, Eye Shape, Tail, Mane, and Horn.

   2. Colors are chosen from a selection of color pallets, and you’ll receive random colors from within the pallet. Eyes can be chosen with or without eyelashes.

3. Once you’ve chosen all (or none) of the features you want to customize click: Make a Wish

4. It will give you a heads up that the process is “unpredictable” and that the Wishing Well might surprise you with something “a little different” than what you wished for.

Congratulations, you have an adorable pet unicorn! Now you might be saying: But how do I make it a playable avatar?

Growing up your pet unicorn

Luckily this process is quite easy, your pet doesn’t even need to be level 5!  All it will cost you is one more wishing coin. However, if you don’t want to use another wishing coin, it can be grown up at Level 5 like the archosaurs.

1. Head back to the wishing fountain and click the symbol on the top

2. This time select “I wish to grow up my Fantasy Pet”

3. Select the Pet you wish to grow up

4. Make your wish again and you’re all set!

Rare, Epic and Legendary Unicorns

Unicorns can have traits that can’t be determined via wishing, and are instead entirely random. These random traits, if present, will make your unicorn either rare, epic, or legendary! One unicorn can have multiple rare+ traits, but higher rarities take priority with their special tag. Some of the special traits a unicorn can have is being smaller or larger than average, a special horn, or be part of a twin set. They can even have galaxy, sapphire, and lightside and darkside effects! Below is a comprehensive table of rare+ unicorn traits:

(Note: The Epic version of the Galaxy, Sapphire, Darkside, and Lightside effects only covers the mane, horn, and tail. Not the body. The Legendary version of those effects will cover the entire unicorn!)

Now finally, you might have noticed when growing up your pet unicorn that you selected “I wish to grow up my Fantasy Pet,” this implies that the wishing fountain might have more pets than just unicorns in the future. We at the AJA are just as excited as you are (or more) to see what they might be! Happy wishing Jammer!

History

Club Geoz was originally added in the beta testing for Animal Jam Classic all the way back in 2010. This room was the best place to party in the game, and if you want to have a good play session, going to Club Geoz was a great choice (beaten only by the pillow room). It unfortunately got destroyed by the lines of power in October 2017, but it recently came back this Night of the Phantoms.

Popularity

Club Geoz returning allowed many nostalgic jammers to happily feel the past once again. The legacy of the room also lives as the slightly different "Club Geoz" music that was originally released as a promo item. 

What about the music?

Oh right, the reason you clicked on the article! We received an email lead from someone saying they found a perfect rip of the sound effects used within the Club Geoz music in a music editor called FL Studio. They suggested that WildWorks used FL Studio (or a similar app if the same sound effects were licensed somewhere else too) back when the game started getting first developed, and one of these songs was the music track for Club Geoz. Check out the sound effects yourself below, and see if you can recognize them! 

It's cool to know some of the behind the scenes of these famous Animal Jam music pieces we hear everyday, and because Club Geoz came back like the rumors suggested, these sound effects are back at home in Jamaa.

Overall, this update includes a brand new animal, Mysterious light from the phantoms, brand new “Friendship Points”, The winner of the Hat Design Contest, and more!! Let’s check it out!

Pumpkin Spice Flying Fox

This month we got a brand new flying animal. There aren’t many in AJPW! The pumpkin spice flying fox has flew into Jamaa this month. I will say it is definitely way cooler than the other Flying Fox design wise. Now if you never got the chance to buy the original flying fox, you can get this one! It’s design is super cute and great for fall, especially if you’re a pumpkin spice fan. 

The Mysterious Light & Other Lines Of Power

Now that the light side has officially won, the phantoms are still at work with their master plan. The lines of power are still attached to the alpha headquarters, however, the fountain in jamaa is gone! There is a large void with cracks where it used to sit. One of the largest cracks goes from the fountain to the alpha headquarters building. As we know, Greely is still gone. Nobody is completely sure what the phantoms are doing.. but Peck did claim she felt connected with the light side! I am curious to see what the phantoms have in store for us! There are also going to be some more lines of power.. SEEN AT THE ZIOS STATUE! I wonder what this means..

Friendship Points?! 

There is a new feature in the game this month, Friendship Points! You can earn them through your buddies as well as pack mates and trade them for super cool prizes! The prizes differ depending on your pack. To trade for the prizes, go to your pack hideout! 

Design A Hat Contest Winner

We got the winner of the Design A Hat Contest announced this month! Congrats Jozlyn2011 on winning! This awesome jammer created a “Phantom Mind Control Hat”. I’m super excited to get this item, I hope it comes in a variety of colors! 

New Den & Pet Raccoons?! 

This month it looks like the new den has something to do with a train or railroad through a city. There are also going to be pet raccoons coming to the game! I know these are already in Animal Jam Classic, but I’m glad they’re adding them to Animal Jam! 

New Superbox?

In Animal Jam’s latest video, you can see the new superbox. It appears to be some sort of dance party? It comes with what looks like a dance floor, strange potions, and sapphire potions. In the video you can see it says someone gifted somebody something.. maybe it’s from the superbox? Can’t wait to find out!

Now, let’s move onto some of the more basic update features!

Pet Turkeys & Autumn Fairy Armor Return

Just like every year in November, to celebrate Thanksgiving, Pet Turkeys have returned! Just in time for Autumn, the Autumn Fairy Armor has returned as well!

C: There are nine notes scattered across the lands and inside some buildings, each one written by Greely about his ideas. In the gallery to the side, you can click through the images to see what each note says and where you can find it.

A: We’ll be going through each note one by one and giving our thoughts on them. We’ve organized them in an order we feel makes the most sense for this. Thankfully, a few of these notes do recap some previous events for us. So let’s begin!

Lines of Power

A: Our first note is found in the Lost Temple of Zios. Greely explains the basics of the Lines of Power. They’re a flow of ancient energy running through Jamaa. They can be activated by astronomical events, which we’ve seen before with the eclipse. The new information here is that their power can be called upon by the collective energy of animals working together. That’s something we’ve never seen. There’s also many different ways you could imagine what that would look like.

C: Of course, it has now been six years since the eclipse, which took place in fall of 2017, and many Jammers may have no idea what happened then. Before we get too deep into what’s currently going on, let’s get a refresher on some previous lore:

The eclipse event took place in both Animal Jam Classic and the mobile version of Animal Jam and at first seemed to just be a fun event to celebrate the eclipse happening in real life over North America. But soon after, the Forgotten Archive opened in AJ Classic, and fragments of the power lines appeared around Jamaa. Eventually, in both games, they focused on Club Geoz and destroyed it, resulting in the Alpha Headquarters.

Lightside and Darkside

A: This second note is also new information. Greely has introduced us to the concept of Jamaa’s energy consisting of both light and dark, and that those energies can both be found in us as well. The traits he lists off are quite interesting, because they seem to correlate with the Alphas. On Animal Jam, the Alphas are currently disagreeing on how to handle this year’s Night of the Phantoms attack, with them being split between fighting with light or dark energy. My theory looks a little like this:

Lightside

• Hope - Cosmo

• Creativity - Peck

• Clarity - Sir Gilbert

Darkside

• Power - Greely

• Emotion - Liza

• Drive - Graham

Club Geoz

C: Greely talks about the old Club Geoz and how this event reflects similar things that have happened in the past, repeatedly referencing the Jamaa eclipse that originally caused the Lines of Power to surge for the first time. Apparently, Greely thinks that it is key to the Phantoms’ plan.

A: In the Jamaa Journal, the Phantoms claim that they have taken control of the Lines of Power. Greely, at first, is unsure why the lines of power have been used to bring back Club Geoz. Though he does note that the music from Geoz could be used as a source of power for light and dark energy. Sort of like what they might be doing on Animal Jam…

Over on that game, the Phantoms can be seen constructing something in the Phantom dimension emitting the beat of Club Geoz, and using it to blast dark energy into Jamaa.

Controlling the Lines

A: I don’t have much to add on to what Greely is saying here, as he provides a theory to his question in the next note.

More to the story

A: Here Greely proposes that the Phantoms gaining control over the lines of power was unintentional, or even a mistake. The reason why they simply mixed up Jamaa Township was because they didn’t even mean to cause destruction in the first place. Which is quite out of character for them.

C: Definitely out of character. Is it possible there is another force at play?

Phantom dimension

A: This is some interesting insight into the Phantom dimension. Which before this point I don’t think had actually been referenced in AJ Classic. The area we visit in The Search for Greely is an extension of the Phantom Vortex, and we’re not sure if they’re the same thing. Anyways, here Greely says that the Phantom dimension draws power from multiple sources to remain stable. Which has some interesting implications. Have they been drawing power from Jamaa itself?

C: There are definitely a lot of suspects for these potential sources! Particularly with Balloosh and a certain arctic wolf Alpha, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The Lost Temple of Zios and the power lines in the Forgotten Archive are likely another source, and it’s possible there is a source in each land. The other main ones that come to mind are the fire in Sarepia Forest and the ice in Mt. Shiveer, which has been the source of lots of mystery for Jammers since the beginning of the game.

Different Worlds

A: And now Greely asks the next logical question when you realize the Phantoms can go between dimensions. Where else could they have been going? In the past few years on AJ Classic, nothing has really happened. There have been no major Phantom attacks since the fall of the fortress and the reopening of Balloosh. So have the Phantoms been somewhere else?

A Connection

A: Greely believes that there could be another world out there that the Phantoms are focusing on at the moment. And he’s hoping that they’re up for the fight. He also alludes to that world needing both light and darkness to take on the Phantoms. Which is… interesting, considering what’s happening on a certain other Animal Jam right now. Jammers on Animal Jam are currently battling over how to tackle this year’s Night of the Phantoms attack, which is a phantom rift creeping towards the Alpha HQ with the intent of destruction. The Alphas are split on how to tackle this, with one half of the team wanting to stick with fighting with the power of light. The other wants to try experimenting and fighting darkness with dark, and potentially seeing a deeper phantom scheme.

C: So it seems some surprising connections are surfacing. Earlier I mentioned the ice in Mt. Shiveer which I want to bring up again because, in 2022, Jammers ONLY in the mobile version finally broke it, spurring a fight with the Phantoms. With these Lines of Power causing so much chaos in Jamaa Township, who knows where they could strike next? While this may be a reach, breaking the ice in AJC would be quite an interesting way to expand on this and the supposed link with AJ mobile.

Juno

C: Already, these events are influencing other lands as we’ve noticed in Balloosh a few weeks ago…

A: Greely’s last note is somewhat unrelated to the previous ones, but also one of the most important as it’s the first time that anyone has acknowledged that the statue believed to be Juno is glowing. Greely believes that Juno’s spirit is still there, or maybe has moved elsewhere. But where? And why and how could Juno have reawakened?

C: The idea of Juno’s spirit moving is puzzling. We really don’t know much about the Lines of Power or whatever sort of powers Juno used to protect themself and Balloosh, but I think there are two main possibilities: either the Phantoms’ shenanigans with the Lines of Power is waking them up, or, if maybe the Phantoms aren’t the direct cause, then the spirit of Juno themself could be moving in the Lines of Power and playing a part in this!

With the Phantoms stirring up some major trouble and the Alphas, as Aster explained with the light vs dark sides, potentially divided, who better to come to the rescue than the ancient hero Juno? Could they truly be breaking through that spell they made so long ago to return to Jamaa?

Tangled Lines - Jamaa Journal

C: Unsurprisingly, the loner Greely takes this time to disappear and work on his own. We’ve heard very little from the other Alphas, but Peck says that she and the others are frantically searching for him. Whatever is going on, we’re still missing some important puzzle pieces, and there are tons of possibilities to where this story could be going.

A: That’s all we have for now! Thank you for reading! If you have any of your own theories or thoughts, please share them in the comments below. This has been Asteralium and Celebrati0n signing off!
