Adventures

The Adventures Beta is a very large update that brings the Phantoms back in a series of games you may play to earn Gems, level up, and get prizes! The Alphas will prepare you. To participate, you need to go to the Adventure Base Camp, entrance located in Temple of Zios. You can also access it by viewing the party list; it is at the very top.

The Adventures' Names
Currently, this has six different adventures:
 * Training Grounds
 * Return Of The Phantoms
 * The Phantom Portal
 * Meet Cosmo
 * The Hive
 * The Great Escape

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. Secret entrances can even be discovered by Member-only animals for special secrets and surprises!

Inside every adventures beta adventure there is a different set up, and each  new adventure is longer and more difficult. On Return Of The Phantoms, Meet Cosmo, The Hive and The Phantom Portal there are two modes - Normal Mode and Hard Mode. Normal Mode is the basic mode, where you can win prizes related to that adventure. Hard Mode is the advanced mode, where you can win prizes from Jamaa, and depending on how well you do in that adventure, the prizes have a chance of being rare, or beta.

There are levels for the hero, and the jammer will go up to higher levels as he/she progresses. Adventures are for each level. On the name tag you number level will apear, differnt levels have diffrent shapes incloseing them onto your animals name tag. Members have an option were they can show there number while exploreing jamaa and at base camp. Sadly non members can only display there level at Adventure Base Camp. You will team up with your friends and defeat phantoms! The first two adventures are amazing, as they are just the Beginning! As more adventures are released, Jammers will join the alphas as they protect Jamaa from the wicked Phantoms! There are NPCs, which can say some useful info and give you items to help on your adventure!

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 hide in tall grass, lure the phantoms into special plants, help the bunnies that are trapped in cages, and much more things! After you finish the Training Grounds, you earn a little prize from Liza for doing so well! Many jammers are excited for new adventures being updated! Just think of it, saving Jamaa and earning rewards, it will be so much fun!

The order of the adventure's release is as follows: The Return of the Phantoms (Easy), The Phantom Portal (Easy), The Return of the Phantoms (Hard), The Phantom Portal (Hard), Meet Cosmo (Easy), Meet Cosmo (Hard), The Hive (Easy), The Hive (Hard) and finally The Great Escape (Easy). The Adventure Shop came out after Meet Cosmo (Easy) and before Meet Cosmo (Hard). Finally, The Training Grounds were out at the same time The Return Of The Phantoms (Easy) was.

Gameplay basic instructions: Phantoms will have a colored circle or ring of some sort around them. This shows Jammers what they can see. If you go in the Phantoms 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 that Cosmo the Koala shaman (Alpha) has made for us to protect Jamaa. If the Phantom gets too close, the plant closes and SHUT! The Phantom is trapped! See that tall grass? If you are standing in it, phantoms can't see you so you can hide and go around 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, 1 plant can only trap 1 phantom. In the second adventure and more, you need to water and replenish the chomper plants before defeating the phantoms! Good Luck Jammers! And Have Fun!
