Bow and arrows, appearing as a gift
The bow and arrows are one of the most coveted items in Jamaa. They were given out as Jamaaliday gifts on Friday, December 30, 2011 and December 24, 2012. 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-members 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. Many scammers work by saying, "Come to my den if you want a bow no scam!" Jammers should not be tricked by this.
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, lime green, orange, pink, purple, copper, silver, and a white/gray medley. The black and lime green bows have so far only been distributed for 2012, and the copper and silver only for 2011. 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 squashed. It is, however, likely that some arrows were discolored when first given as gifts on the Jamaalidays.

The expensive and fairly unpopular golden bow and arrows.
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.

In December 24, 2012, new Bow and Arrows were released to the game. Starting in November, all of the bows from 2011's Jamaalidays were turned "rare" by AJHQ. Many people with "Rare" Bow and Arrows say their bow and arrow is way better than the new ones. Many Jammers report these as mean Jammers. The new colors are lime green and black. Silver and copper bows were not distributed in 2012, while the lime green and black were added. Many Jammers adore these new colors.
