Webkinz Rare Gems, Crown of Wonder, and the Rare Items

I've been finding some great Webkinz info. Today I found out three things from this informative Webkinz post:

1) Arte, the Curio Shop vendor, will tell you secret things when he likes you. There are 6 levels of friendship. And he has different text for telling you what level you're at.

2) Each mine has specific gems to find. The list of gems and which mine they are in are listed here.

3) Rare items are only available in the curio shop certain times of day.

Last night I snuck on to Webkinz and answered some quiz questions to give my daughter a little extra spending cash, and open up some of the available jobs. I'm not sure if Webkinz would be as fun if I weren't being sneaky about it.
