Update Two: Combat Plus.[]
Released the Wednesday after Weapons Plus, COMBAT PLUS will change adventures forever. Gone are the days of forcing to go Kamikaze into a horde of Phantoms with a Boomseed, now you can use your weapons to fight! You can get up-close and personal with Swords, or snipe from afar with Bows, or claw the crap out of them with Gauntlets. Hovering over a phantom with your cursor highlights them, allowing you to slash them with your Sword, draw your Bow to shoot them, or Claw them with your Gauntlets.
- Using a Sword, you can Slash, Chop, or Spin Attack into a Phantom.
- Slash has most Damage, But you're probably going to get hit.
- Chop thwacks them away, but with less damage. (Around 60%)

- Each different Sword has a different effect, Alpha Swords are 1-Hit KOs, Stone Swords have an AOE effect when slashing, and Candy Swords make them drop a piece of candy, restoring half a heart.
- Using a bow, you can either Draw or Long Draw your bow, (With a unique animation) to target the phantoms, and keep the phantoms at bay.
- Drawing has you draw your bow with line of sight, with shorter range, but higher damage.
- Long Drawing has you draw your bow and aiming upward, to snipe phantoms behind walls. If other phantoms are around the one you sniped, they will see you and go after you. (Regardless if using Long Draw or not.)
Update Three: Plushies Plus[]

The big draw of Trading Plus is the TRADER 2000, A system that analyzes a trade with other trades between items, with other items, and previous trades, including how long the items have been inaccessible or accessible, and gem or diamond cost. This would result in a decision by the system to determine if the trade is fair or not. Once the system determines the fairness, the players can accept or decline, regardless of the result, in case of transfer trading or NM Gifting. Also included is the TRADING POST, a place to bid on items. Here, Jammers can offer an Item, and it can be seen by anyone. Other Jammers can then bid on the item, until the "Host" Determines what they want, or if the bidding time runs out, (About 2 Weeks) Where the Offer is taken down. Non-Members are also allowed to bid, but not "Host". You can also check previous trade offers and attempts.
Update Six: Non-Member Appreciation[]
