The Forgotten Desert

The Forgotten Desert was released on May 15th, 2014, and is the ninth Adventure available in the Adventure Base Camp. It is the first Adventure available to only flying animals, making it members-only until a non-member flying animal becomes available, if there will be one.



Walkthrough
The goal of this adventure is find the missing shards of the crystals throughout the desert that the Phantoms have destroyed. Soar through steep rock formations and searching desert plains to retrieve these shards through a variety of methods. There is a time limit of seventeen minutes on this adventure for one or two players, and fifteen minutes for three or four players. Once time is up, all shards and watering cans are removed from the adventure so the player cannot cheat; however, treasure chests stay where they are. The Alpha Liza will guide the player and the rest of the players through the rest of the Adventure.

Shards


The goal of this adventure is to find the five types of shards hidden in the desert before the timer ends.
 * Green: These are the easiest to find. They are simply lying on the ground or on the surface of a body of water. The player will get three Courage Points for each Green shard collected.
 * Yellow: These are hidden in the dust as well as in the water, but they sparkle every few seconds. The player gets five Courage Points for each Yellow shard collected.
 * Blue: These are hidden in dried up oases that the player must revive with a watering can. The player gets ten Courage Points for each Blue shard collected.
 * White: These are hidden in cacti, on which the player must sit to retrieve the shard. The player gets seven Courage Points for each White shard collected.
 * Purple: These are the hardest to find. All four players need to sit on special rocks that eventually lead them to a shard. Perching on five rocks gets one shard, so the player and their teammates will need to perch on 25 rocks to get all five shards. The player gets thirty Courage Points for each Purple shard collected.

Trivia

 * The treasure chests mostly give Gems, but occasional give den items and possibly rare accessories.
 * If you are not able to collect all of a certain shard (therefore not receiving any prize items), Liza gives you a chest with 500 Gems.
 * This is the first Adventure without Phantoms.
 * This is the first timed Adventure.
 * You can get just about any prize in the game including former monthly member gifts.
 * There is a rumor to where if you don't open the chests laying on the ground, you get better prizes, however it is not true.
 * There is a glitch with this adventure that causes the timer to freeze at exactly 15 minutes.
 * There is a common glitch where the timer does not come up on the screen.
 * There is a glitch where you and some adventurers (rarely together) can't talk to Liza, pick up shards, or open gem chests, while joining the adventure. This glitch can happen at any time when you join, you also can't " leave " the adventure, refresh or log out or close the page to exit it.
 * A lot of Jammers thought that there were special patterns or methods to get better/rare/beta items (Such as collecting all gems except for purple and the very last silver, then having each player on the last silver cactus, "this will result in a very cool item") there is no proof or evidence that these/this is true.
 * There used to be an invisible green gem, however AJHQ has fixed this
 * Yellow shards are not invisible,but merely buried under the ground.
 * Owls can play The Forgotten Desert.
 * There is a glitch that allows non-flying animals to do the adventure from the diamond shop, you need to be an eagle or owl, host The Forgotten Desert & then buy a non flying animal by clicking on the arctic wolf statue, you'll now be a non-flying animal hosting The Forgotten Desert.
 * There are 2 versions of this quest; the gem and treasure chest locations are different.
 * There are actually 30 green gems available. Once 25 green gems are found, the remaining 5 green gems will vanish.
 * There are actually 30 yellow gems available. Once 25 yellow gems are found, the remaining 5 yellow gems will vanish.
