Ronza's Traveling Shoppe
From MHWiki
Contents |
Ronza stops in from time to time, bringing MouseHunters new and fancy trap components from other parts of the world. Little is known about her origins, and she never stays very long. The King allows Ronza to make port near the castle, to sell her goods. Perhaps the more she visits, the more we will find out about her...
Description and Requirements
Ronza's Traveling Shoppe is a special location, a large blimp that occasionally becomes available for hunters to visit and purchase special supplies. The merchant, Ronza, is a mysterious woman of unknown origin. When this ship lands, anyone who has access to the region in which she lands can visit her shop provided they have the gold to travel there. Her shop will show in the list of locations for the region where she lands just like any other location, and you travel there in the normal way. A minimum rank of Recruit is required to access the Ronza's Traveling Shoppe. Note that if Ronza lands at a place not accessible to new hunters, they would not be able to access it. For example, a Novice hunter cannot access Ronza's Traveling Shoppe if it is located in the Furoma region as (s)he does not have the maps and the title.
Although Ronza's Traveling Shoppe is only available for short periods at a time, you can stay there and hunt for mice if you choose. If you were still in the shop when Ronza departed in 2009, you were transported back to Gnawnia at no cost to you with the following message:
"Ronza cut the tethers to her ship and took off into the sky. On her way out, she dropped me off at the Town of Gnawnia, free of charge, where I resumed the hunt."
When Ronza departed in 2011, you were transported back to the Meadow at no cost with the following message:
Ronza's Traveling Shoppe is currently closed. The King's Guards kindly escorted me to the Meadow so that I may resume the hunt.
When Ronza departed in 2012, you were transported back to the Year of the Dragon Festival at no cost with the following message:
Ronza's Traveling Shoppe is currently closed. The King's Guards kindly escorted me to the Year of the Dragon Festival so that I may resume the hunt.
When Ronza departed in 2013, you were transported back to the Meadow at no cost with the following message:
Ronza's Traveling Shoppe is currently closed. The King's Guards kindly escorted me to the Meadow so that I may resume the hunt.

Hunting Strategy
In this location there are a variety of mice all with different weaknesses. Physical, Tactical and Hydro power traps are of normal effectiveness against the Indigenous and Aquatic Order mice, so a Physical, Tactical or Hydro trap can be used. Alternatively, hunters targeting the more powerful Forgotten and Shadow mice are recommended to use an Arcane weapon.
Cheese Usage
All standard cheese types can be used in this location. Hunters wanting the Rockstar mouse should use Rockforth cheese, and those wanting to attract the Nibbler, Magic, Silvertail, Worker or Black Widow mice can use SUPER|brie+ cheese. Hunters wishing to attract the Forgotten and Shadow mice are advised to use Ancient cheese.
