A Guide, Part Three {Rares}

Hey guys! It's the 8th of December, and guess what that means- more gifts!
December 6th- Anemone Head Bow (The first Underwater item) and One Diamond
December 7th- Holiday Sweater and One Diamond
December 8th- Marshmallow Chair

Everyone, from the newest player to the oldest member, covets rares. They are three types of rares;
Betas- These are items that were put out during Animal Jam's beta testing, but aren't available anymore. Ex: Stuffed Animal Geckos
Normal Rares- These do not have the "rare" tag on them, but aren't in stores and are considered rare by the general populace.
Rare Item Mondays (RIM)- These appear every day on Mondays, and have a titled "rare" tag. They are normally not considered all that rare because sometimes these items reappear on another Monday.

Many people confuse betas with rares, and these are the people that have obviously not been on Animal Jam long. I have been on Animal Jam since near the beginning of beta testing, and was one of the first paying members after memberships came out. Also, I have experience with other beta testings- beta testing isn't exclusive to Animal Jam, all games introduce a testing to detect bugs and test how popular the game will be.

So, in light of all these things, I'm going to go over some of the more famous items, give them an overview, and tell you what type of rare they are.
Rare Spike- RIM. These come in horizontal or vertical positions- vertical is for neck, horizontal is for legs. Normally, the vertical (neck) spikes are more popular, but seem to be rarer.
Colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Black.
Rare Bow- RIM. This is a back item, and is one of the more popular items. Nonmembers can wear it.
Colors: Blue, Green, Lime Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Copper, Silver, Raspberry, and White/Gray medley.
Headdress- Normal Rares. These are one of most well-known items, and are currently becoming more and more common, although they are still very rare. These are often mistaken as betas, but actually they were released just after beta testing ended, and so are just normal rares.
Colors: Dark Green, Light Green, Dark Pink, Light Pink, Light Blue, Green and Maroon, Orange and White, and Tan and Red.
Rare Headdress- RIM. This is the "rare" version of the Headdress, although it has become less rare ever since it became possible to win it in the Eagle adventure, "The Forgotten Desert."
Color: Light Purple and White.
Top Hat- Betas. Appeared in beta testing, and reappeared in 2013 during the Hatapalooza event. After Hatapalooza, it became a little bit less popular, but is still pretty coveted and is starting to become popular again.
Colors: Dark Blue, Light Blue, Pink, Black and Gray, Black, Red, Light Orange, Brown and Pink.
Founder's Hat- Normal Rares. This is similar to the Top Hat, and is in the same style, but with a different name and color. It only comes in one color, and is for members only.
Color: Yellow and White.

That's most of them, although I skipped Den Rares, just so this wouldn't get too long.
~Happy Festivities!

P.S. I'm campaigning to have a Beta Day each year, where one day a year everything is reverted to what it was like during Beta, with all beta items in the store (and all items are nonmember), and a beta den, and to have Jamaa Township, Lost Temple of Zios, and Crystal Sand all look the way they used to. Also all the shops would be reverted to what they were during beta (nonexistent or closed up for most of them) and all beta codes would work. Just send in a suggestion in Jam Mart Clothing about this to help my campaign!
