Unknown Items #1 – Animal Banners

Hey Jammers! Just to let you know, I edited the riddles on the contest post for a second time. Even if you've already submitted your entry, I've included a few extra riddles that you can answer to increase your chance of winning. Click here to see them!

If you haven't noticed already, as of today I've posted five days in a row! :D

As I've realized that it can be hard to have a very news-heavy post on a daily basis, I think today would be a good time to try out a "series" that my friend Gogreen16 came up with: unknown item spotlight!

Because the idea surfaced as Gogreen16 was talking about looking for a Tiger Banner, the first spotlit item(s) will be animal banners.

Here they all are:
















These were sold in the Conservation Museum along with their corresponding topiaries until October 2013, when all the banners went on clearance and all the topiaries were moved to Sarepia Forest. 

Roughly one half of the banners are nonmember– seven out of the total fifteen. I wonder if that was strategic...?

Something interesting to note about these items: none can be won in The Forgotten Desert. 

Even though TFD ultimately reduces rarity, it sometimes appears to stabilize demand by making more people aware of an item's existence. This may be a big reason why animal banners have such low demand, despite it being five years since their removal.

Out of all these banners, my favorites are the Panda Banner and Elephant Banner. The Panda Banner because my main animal is a panda, and the yellow striped background makes me happy. The Elephant Banner because it has that same yellow striped background, but unlike the Panda, it's nonmember! 

What are your favorites? What are some more unknown items that you think deserve more attention? Comment! ^_^


P.S. Go check out IceCream Cookie Kitty's YouTube channel! They made a nice video about my Currency Challenge ideas, and they definitely deserve more views on their other Animal Jam videos. :)

  2. Nice post! I wish I had all those banners. Why did I not buy them that October when I was obsessed with the game?

    1. Same... they had just been a common item for so long that I didn't think I'd ever miss them, but here we are. XD

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!

Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D
