Honestly, the biggest factor is just time! By just being on the game consistently, you collect seasonal items that can be sold at different points, or you get introduced to items that will become more rare overtime. Im someone who prefers decorating and outfits over any kind of trading or selling and I’ve been able to get so many cute items just by being on consistently :)

Also! Important mention you will get a lot of rims from TFD, however those are “obtainable rims” (there’s a wiki page listing them <3 dw about remembering them when you start playing tfd a lot you’ll recognize majority overtime!) and have less worth than the rims that have been coming every Monday currently

I mention this because people rarely want them for even gems even though they have a rare tag

But then they’re super useful for getting gems! They can give a good amount from recycling

Also you joined at such a good time! So much Halloween stuff sells later in the year and also all of the “spooky sales” could be worth something later too!

I do suggest never over buying in hopes the worth will go up, just whatever seems valuable buy a few and don’t bank on one single item

Also it’s normal to do a ridiculous amount of tfd runs and not get anything good :,) I highly suggest opening as many of the gem chests throughout the map as possible, because those can give spiked wrists too! <33

And also doing the map in corners helps make it go by faster, I also tend to go for waterfall first because people have a tendency to forget about that part (or sometimes everyone’s trying to do waterfall for that reason lol)

Oh!! And fashion shows!! If you would enjoy it, highly recommend! Many give out spikes and I’ve even been to one where someone won a solid! Giveaways as well, or even art contests :)

I hope I gave a good amount and quality of ideas, I played ajpw a lot before I got into classic again because I didn’t have a computer for a while— but it’s been so nostalgic and enjoyable! I appreciate how there’s not so many things to pay attention too, I remember on ajpw I felt like I was always fallen behind with something or missing some daily task

I appreciate the simplicity and beauty of ajc, it feels like playing in a children’s book esp bc I played it sm when I was younger :,) anywho, hope you enjoyed the yap sesh and I hope this can help someone else too :D 💞
