Bow And Arrows

The bow and arrows are one of the most desired items in Jamaa. They were given out as Jamaaliday gifts on Friday, December 30, 2011. Since then, they have not reappeared and being the only weapon that non-members can actually wear, it has become a staple to trade in lavish, membership-only, rare gifts for even just one of the simple ammunition.

Because of this, many bow and arrow holders get harassed continually by several different methods - a barrage of trade requests, recurring trade requests, even after a turn-down and the "follow the leader" strategy. Some non-member Jammers turn to the "pity me, pity me" approach and cry out, "I'm only a non-member! Just send me some stuff! Look at me, I am grovelling at your feet!" Most of these gimmicks do not work on the reluctant holders.

The bow and arrows arrived on the Jamaalidays both flexible and bright; as seen below, there were a myriad of colors available. This included the original blue (on the side of the page), green, orange, pink, purple, black, and a white/gray medley. The black, white/gray and blue bow and arrows tend to be most common, while the green and purple have never been glimpsed to most Jammers. There is a controversial topic on the brown bow and arrows but because the claims of seeing this unusual colored weapon describes a bow and arrows very similar to one of the orange bow and arrows, the speculations have been quashed. It is, however, likely that some arrows were discolored when first given as gifts on the Jamaalidays.

One more type of bow and arrows appeared on May 4, 2012 to the joy of many Jammers. However, to non-members, this joy was short-lived. The new golden bow and arrows costs 4500 gems, a hefty sum, and can only be bought and worn by members. Many Jammers, including members, shun the golden weapon because of it not being the authentic archery tool given out at the earlier date. The golden bow and arrows is located in the Epic Wonders shop in the Coral Canyons.
