    the point of AJ is actually building your way up, not alot of people have patience, but i certainly do. It's alot of work, by simply trading, hunting for night critters, and going out shoveling for alpha chests! Or if you're good at art, you can sell pieces for 500 sapps or more and art collectors will go crazy! I never once spent money on AJ to get around, somehow i have 17K sapphires saved up from commissions and trading up items.

    • @AmeilaJ
      @AmeilaJ 8 днів тому

      I sell my art (MPS), in AJPW for around 50-150 sapphires because I don’t think it’s that valuable to be on for 400-500 sapphires.
      I will keep doing this technique tho because it’s cheaper so more people will buy. hehe. :]
      I have been drawing for 6+ years! So I’m not a big professional in realism, but I can draw anime, cartoons, cars, objects, OCS , people. (the only thing I can’t draw is realism 💀💀).
      So I will carry on this technique, and I do suggest this technique, if your a fellow artist like me! Remember, that everyone can be good at art if they really try and put in the effort. It took me 6+ yrs to get where I am now, and I’m loving it! i was gonna quit AGES AGO, but I had a bit of motivation. That went a long way. (I’m still travelling my drawing journey, as I’m still in the process of **trying** to draw realism.)
      ‼️🌟SOME MORE TECHNIQUES FROM ME!🌟‼️
      ~Spend/use your sapphires and gems wisely.
      ~Even if ur not good at art (or u don’t think u are), give it a go! maybe there is talent hidden inside of you.

    Today someone said they were selling pets for 16 saps, turns out they were also selling a painted egg for 16 saps. Unfortunately, I got there a bit late and someone else bought it :( but cheap stuff comes all the time, you just gotta keep an eye out ;)
    Edit: Also, fun story
    I went to a 'gem-only' auction one day. One of the items they were auctioning was a tabby cat, I offered 15k gems and they said yes, good deal! Anyways, so turns out that cat was one of the 5-day login pets, so you can't sell or trade them. Instead, they sold me a PEACOCK for 15K GEMS! One of the other people at the auction was like 'WHAT? I WOULD'VE BOUGHT A PEACOCK FOR MAX!'

    You make it look so ezy-how do you find good shops?? You just go: ima need membership, a week, and then I’ll be back with 2k saps and blackout spike while most jammers go: gummies 17 years for blackout and 3 weeks to sell me inventory for 2k saps

      just find a random pack and search for high leveled people who havent been on in 20 days or more they usually sell cheap items
