Adventures



The Adventures are a very large update that bring the Phantoms back as antagonists in a series of games. You may play to earn Gems, level up, get amazing prizes (such as betas, although it will also lower the rareness of some items) or simply have fun. To participate, you need to go to the Adventure Base Camp entrance located in Temple of Zios, or you can access it at the very top of the party list, or by clicking on the world map; at the bottom left corner. There are currently twelve adventures, including the Training Grounds. All adventures allow multiplayer action, except the Training Grounds, which is a single-player only adventure.

Basic Gameplay Instructions
An Alpha, usually Liza, Cosmo or Greely (in the members only adventures) will prepare you at the start of each adventure. Phantoms will have a purple circle or ring of some sort around them. This shows Jammers what they can see. If you go in the Phantom's circle, the phantom will see you and start chasing you until you escape. To trap Phantoms, you can lure them into special plants called Chomper Plants made by Cosmo the Koala Alpha. If the Phantom gets too close, the plant closes and the Phantom is trapped and you earn 25 Gems. If you are standing in tall grass, Phantoms can't see you so you can hide and go around them without being caught! There will be stampedes and groups of Phantoms everywhere, trying to chase you, so you will need to do a lot of running and eventually lure all of them to a single plant. Remember, one plant can only trap one phantom. In the second adventure and more, you need to water and replenish the diseased chomper plants before defeating the Phantoms.

Some Phantoms, typically in the lower level and easier modes, will stop chasing you if you've run away far enough. However, this is not always the case, depending on the place. As stated before, your best chance of escaping from them is to lure them to a chomper plant or flee to tall grass. If a Phantom touches your animal, it inflicts damage and takes away 1 heart. Losing all of your hearts will cause your animal to fall asleep. If this happens, don't worry. You don't lose any experience, Gems, or progress. You can wake up and try again. Your animal will wake up at the last visited Revive Point. There will be some adventures where you will have to try over and over again, but don't let the difficulty stop you. Although the ocean adventures are more difficult and take longer to do, keep going! Don't be discouraged, and good luck!

Additional Information
In Adventures, you will team up with your friends and defeat Phantoms. As more adventures are released, Jammers will join the Alphas as they protect Jamaa from the wicked Phantoms. There are Non Player, or AJHQ animals, which can say some useful info and give you items to help on your adventure. Secret entrances can even be discovered by specific animals for special secrets, prizes, and surprises.

Base Camp
When you go to the Adventure Base Camp, you will notice some portals. One is for the Training Grounds to prepare you, the other ones at the top are for the Adventures, but as of January 23, the Base camp is an island with one Portal with all the adventures. Now the base camp is back to normal with all of the portals and such back although there is a new area only accessible by Eagles which can only be bought in the Diamond Shop. As of June 2014, a new base camp was added - the Ocean Base Camp.

Inside Adventures
Inside every adventure, there is a different set up, and each new adventure is longer and more difficult. On each adventure there is a Normal Mode and Hard Mode, except for the Eagle only adventure. Normal Mode is released first and Hard Mode is usually released with the following update. Upon completing both modes, you get rewarded with the chance to pick a gift which could be Gems or an item usually related to the adventure.

Training Grounds
You will start in the Training Grounds, just to prepare for the actual Adventure. Liza will teach you techniques and strategies to defeat Phantoms. You have to get close to a phantom, trap four in the chomper plants, and sneak past them in the tall grass. After you finish the Training Grounds, you earn a little prize from Liza for doing so well.

Levels
To level up, Players must get plenty of Courage Points depending on each level. You will need more Courage Points when your on a higher level and less when your on a lower level. Leveling up will give you a better chance at gaining better prizes and getting more Health Hearts. Every 8th level you pass grants you another heart. For example, at level 8 you will have 4 Health Hearts, at level 16 you will have 5 Health Hearts, and so on, so forth.

Courage Points
Courage Points (commonly called and nicknamed CP) are the numbers used to level up. They can be gained by defeating Phantoms, restoring plants, obtaining Gems, opening treasure chests and opening locked areas.

Health

Trivia

 * MORE damege.png In The Phantom Portal adventure, if you are using a weapon, like a sword or glove, you do more damage to the Phantom Webs or pods, breaking it faster. When clicking it, it will appear in front of the web/pod. Items like bows and arrows, slingshots, nunchucks, and crossbows do not work. The spartan armor, though it has a sword attached to it, does not work either.
 * You can get rares and betas in the hard mode of the Adventures.
 * Slingshots can  be obtained in the Hard mode of The Phantom Portal adventure.
 * In the Meet Cosmo adventure, after you get the timber and rope, the Koalas will ask you to find a rose and moth for Gems. Franklin the Koala will give you Gems and CP if you plug all the phantom pipes.
