User blog:Chocolatekoala96/My goal, and how you can reach yours!

Let's admit it - in AJ, we've all been at a point in time where there was that item that we REALLY wanted. Maybe it was that headdress you saw this artic wolf wearing, or that purple long spiked collar that was a must-have as soon as you saw it. Or maybe you went to this amazing den, and knew that the wood floor would be the best addition to your den. I'm in that stage myself - I'm working to get a neon bow, so my goal is an orange long collar. It's not easy to get some of these super-rare items - in fact, how much they're worth is a little bit intimadating. Here's the steps I'm using to reach my goal, and the steps that you can user too! Enjoy!

Let's say that your goal is a black long - just as a generally common goal between jammers.

1. Start small - your first goal is... clothing betas! Begin by doing adventures, collecting those great den items, and trading them off for rims, or doing bulk trades for clothing betas and in some cases, den betas. Do these adventures with your spares, and you'll get way more items(way more rims!) - just make sure you vary the rewards you choose, that way you can have variety when you're trading everything away. Still, try to pick the higher valued prizes or even the cooler-looking ones. I would suggest doing '''The River's Heart, Meet Cosmo(hard), and The Phantom Fortress(hard), and any adventures that give you nature items. '''You can also do the Greely Adventures for higher value prizes(more likely to be traded for cbs), but those take WAY longer and have less prizes. The River's Heart and The Phantom Fortress give you lots of prizes that may not be known about. Have some stores, and get these items traded for their fair values. However, with nature items, I wouldn't suggest putting them in stores - wait unitl you see someone in Jamaa looking for nature items, and you might get some over trades for these items. A lot of people look for items in bulk like stone circles, Cosmo's stone wall, boomseed trees, and more. Lastly, you can trade 1-2 plushies for a rim - however, this takes a while and a lot of gems, so I wouldn't suggest it if you have long-term goals. So, once you collect rims, look for people who will accept rims for their clothing betas - try trading around 9 rims per clothing beta. It is a little difficult to find people who'll accept rims, so try posting on the wiki.

2. Next up - den betas! It shouldn't be hard to trade your clothing betas for den betas, but again, you can always get it out on the wiki. Try to get a lot of clothing betas before you start getting den betas, but it's okay if along the way you start getting den betas. Collect around 10 before going to the next step, but have a good mix of member and non-member.

3. Now for your favourite part(not mine though xd)..... spoikes! Don't go crazy trying to collecting a ton of den betas and trading for long collars - it's progressive. Start by collecting some good short wrists - trade 1 member and 1 non-member for good shorts, but try to avoid bad shorts - they're harder to trade away for long wrists. Here's the progression:

a. Trade one member and one non-member den beta for a good short wrist. Collect around 4 wrists.

b. Trade 2 wrists each for a good long wrist. You're up to good long wrists right now!

c. Up to a collar, noice job - trade your two long wrists for a good short collar! Aim for a red short, since it's the best out of them.

d. Here's where you can tweak your trading - depending on your goal, you should decide what colours you want to trade for. Keep repeating this process until you get the items that you want, and you're set! Try and collect den betas as you're trading these spikes.

Don't expect it to happen all at once - it takes patience to get these items, so don't get frustrated - and NEVER resort to scamming or begging. That's all, sorry this is so long! Hope this helps y'all. :D Chokoala out! :crowd cringes:
