What Are Animal Jam Rares?
Rare Items are items in Animal Jam that are labeled “Rare”. What makes them so rare? No one can really pinpoint that, but it sure does make them special!
You know an item is officially rare if they have a golden tag on them. They say “Rare”. Any item without that tag is NOT Rare, so do not fall for tricks and scams.
This is an example of a “Rare” item. As you can see, there is a clear label calling it Rare.
There are tons of rare items in Animal Jam. New ones are always coming in, and some Rare Items are worth more than others. Let’s take a look to see what these Rares are.
How to Get Animal Jam Rares
You can get Rare Items in lots of different ways. The most common ways to get these items are by:
- Winning them in Adventures
- Trading
- Rare Item Mondays (See below)
- Special Events
Rare Item Mondays
Rare Item Mondays are exactly what they sound like: Rare Items on a Monday! This doesn’t mean everyone busts out wearing their Rare Items on Mondays, although feel free to do so if you feel like it! No, I’m talking about releasing a Rare Item on Mondays! Every Monday, Animal Jam puts out a Rare Item somewhere in stores, and it’s up to us Jammers to find what it is! It can be Members Only, or for All Jammers. It can be on land, or underwater. Its only in stores for one day! So be sure to get it if you can, because who knows when the next time it will come out?
Here are a few examples of Rare Item Mondays:
Leap Year Day Festivities
Although this only happened once, Leap Year Day Parties still remain an important party for All Jammers. How come? It only came out ONCE, on a Leap Year! Why was it so important? All the items in the stores were Rare!
This is what the Party looked like!
These items are now all Rare!
Get Rarer Every Day!
So, now that you know about Rare Items, get out there and get them! If you don’t know where to start, try looking up to see some ways you can get them! Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll get a lot of Rare Items!
I'm going to be honest, I've been waiting so long for this party. It only occurs every 4 years! In 2012, this party was filled with rares such as the Rare Worn and the Rare Beard. However, in this one, it is not. As disappointed as one may be, it's just what it is. This party is themed around frogs since they leap.
This party is based around the Treehouse Den and is not very appealing in appearance. It has a simple design with minimal effects added (which is kinda sad).
2012 Leap Year Items Animal Jam
The first floor of this party isn't as well designed as the other parties. The furniture you can buy here is far from good and looks kind of ugly in my opinion.
As you can see, you can only buy 6 items, and only 1 is non-member. The items are not worth paying for, though. The design is bland with only the slightest of effort put into them.
The second floor is better designed but still can't compare to any of the other parties. You can buy clothes but, again, they're not incredibly fancy or extravagant.
Animal Jam Store Items
You can buy the 'Furry Fox Hat,' which is just another version of the Fox Hat with different colours. Again, you can only buy 6 items, but they don't even look that nice.
The third floor is quite tasteless too. I just don't get any feel or vibe to it, yenno what I'm sayin'?

Then, there's a super long slide to slide down from the horror of it all (just kidding, just kidding). All in all, it's not a well designed party and needs some revamping.
