==Crafting Items==
+
Crafting is an integral part of MouseHunt, especially as players advance along the ranks. Once players advance to [[Initiate]], the crafting tab will be accessible to them. Crafting allows players to put together different items that they have collected throughout the game. The result of crafting can be [[traps]], [[cheese]]s, and other crafting items.
  
=== [[General Store]] Items ===
+
The in-game [{{MHdomain}}/inventory.php?tab=2 Crafting] section of the [[Inventory]] tab is divided into three sub-sections: '''Recipe Book''', '''Crafting Table''', and '''Hunter's Hammer'''.

==Available Slots==

==Crafting Table==
 +
The [{{MHdomain}}/inventory.php?tab=2&subtab=1 Crafting Table] sub-tab lets a hunter experiment with new recipes without first unlocking them from [[Recipe Tasks]].
  
Crafting slots are what allow you to create the new cheeses. You can use safe slots to attempt to create new cheeses and even if you get a wrong recipe, you won't lose any ingredients. However, if you use the red slot in the creation of a new cheese and use a correct recipe, you stand the chance of losing all of your ingredients that you tried to use. You do not lose ingredients when using a non-functioning recipe. As you progress in hunter title you will be less likely to fail when crafting.

===[[Crafting Items]]===
 +
Crafting items are the components or ingredients required in order to successfully create a crafted item. The complete list of all items that can be used in crafting can be found under [[Crafting Items]]. Information is given on the source as to where players can acquire individual items, as well as the crafted product(s) it is used in.

===Crafting Slots===
<tr><th>Rank</th><th>Safe Slots</th><th>Red Slots</th><th>Total Slots</tr>
+
Crafting slots are what allow you to create certain cheeses and other items. Each ingredient in a recipe requires the use of a slot (regardless of the quantity of that ingredient). As you progress in rank, you will gain more slots for crafting, which allows you to craft items requiring more ingredients.  Additionally, while many formulas only require 2 or 3 slots to craft, the ingredients are not available for lower ranks. Every rank will always be able to safely craft the items of the lower ranks. Therefore a Master will be able to craft items available to Journeymen, Initiates and Apprentices.

This cheese is rather poor at attracting mice. However it seems that its unique scent drives away the white, grey and brown breeds of mice.
+
When crafting a new recipe for the first time, the player is given an opportunity to share an [[Attraction Charm]] with friends, and the result of the crafting appears on the [[Hunter's Journal]].
  
===[[Susheese]]===
+
Before MouseHunt updated to Version 3.0 on 8 June 2010, the last slot of each rank was a '''Red Slot'''. If you used the correct recipe, and used the '''Red Slot''', you had chance of losing all of your ingredients that you tried to use and not being successful in creating the new item. Otherwise, crafting works exactly the same now as it did before.
:'''Formula: 1 Nori + 1 Burroughs Salmon + 3 Curds and Whey + 3 [[Token of the Cheese Claw|Tokens of the Cheese Claw]] = 3 Susheese '''  
 
::'''Formula discovered by: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/hunterprofile.php?snuid=13748390 Andrew August Swingler]'''
 
:'''Total Cost (3 Pieces): Min 179 Max 185
 
Considered somewhat of an acquired taste, Susheese is the traditional meal of the school of the Cheese Claw. The combination of delicious brie and fish fresh out of the Burroughs River seems to be the only bait that will attract the [[Master of the Cheese Claw Mouse|Masters of the Cheese Claw]].
 
  
A hunter who crafts Susheese in order to catch a Master of the Cheese Claw might put it to use in the Meditation room, where the Masters are most vulnerable.
+
===Unknown Recipes===
 +
When a new recipe is introduced and the ingredients are unknown, it is possible to determine the correct ingredients through trial and error. When you use the correct type of materials but in wrong quantities, you get a message saying, "'''Almost there''' The right parts are used but the quantities aren't correct," instead of the usual "'''Huh?''' Nothing seems to quite fit together."
  
===[[Glutter]]===
+
If the quantities are right but the item cannot be constructed because the hunter has already reached the maximum inventory count for that item, the message states "'''Sorry''' Your inventory can not currently hold this item."  For example, the S.S. Huntington III map piece is a capped inventory item, meaning it is not possible to craft both the Christened Ship and S.S. Huntington III recipes (however, both recipes can be learned by completing the [[Recipe Tasks|recipe task]] of catching a [[Hydra]] mouse).

:'''Total Cost (3 Pieces): Min 186 Max 200
 
This cheese is the result of the careful art of fusing a seemingly infinite quantity of flavours into a single cube of cheese. This decadent bait seems to be the only cheese capable of breaking the will power of the [[Master of the Cheese Belt Mouse|Masters of the Cheese Belt]].

Little is known about the origins of Rumble cheese. Many hunters suspect it is an invention of the Furoma forces designed to somehow destroy Gnawnia. This cheese appears to be incredibly unstable and radiate a mysterious power outwards from its center. The power of Rumble cheese intimidates all mice, scaring them away yet some hunters believe it is the key to attracting powerful, malicious mice. Should you choose to use this bait think long and hard if you are strategically prepared for the [[Master of the Dojo Mouse|adversary]] it may summon.
 
 
 
Any hunter who should employ this, the most powerful of the known cheeses, might consider deploying it where only the most mighty of the eastern mice resides, in the Master's Chamber, at the pinnacle of the tallest tower of Furoma.

Crafting is an integral part of MouseHunt, especially as players advance along the ranks. Once players advance to Initiate, the crafting tab will be accessible to them. Crafting allows players to put together different items that they have collected throughout the game. The result of crafting can be traps, cheeses, and other crafting items.

The in-game Crafting section of the Inventory tab is divided into three sub-sections: Recipe Book, Crafting Table, and Hunter's Hammer.

Recipe Book

By switching to the Recipe Book sub-tab, a hunter can find a particular recipe that they have unlocked, and select how many multiples of that recipe to craft at once. All recipes can be learned by crafting with the correct raw ingredients. Additionally, many recipes can be learned, even without a first crafting, by completing particular tasks. For a full list of recipes that can be learned, see Recipe Tasks.

The recipe book does not list event crafting done via special pages, such as the initial construction of the Nannybot during MouseHunt Birthday II, or toys built during the Toy Drive of the Great Winter Hunt 2011.

Twenty-five of these recipes are also tracked via the Book of Living Recipes in the Heads-up Display of the Living Garden and related areas.

Crafting Table

The Crafting Table sub-tab lets a hunter experiment with new recipes without first unlocking them from Recipe Tasks.

Crafting Items

Crafting items are the components or ingredients required in order to successfully create a crafted item. The complete list of all items that can be used in crafting can be found under Crafting Items. Information is given on the source as to where players can acquire individual items, as well as the crafted product(s) it is used in.

Crafting Slots

Crafting slots are what allow you to create certain cheeses and other items. Each ingredient in a recipe requires the use of a slot (regardless of the quantity of that ingredient). As you progress in rank, you will gain more slots for crafting, which allows you to craft items requiring more ingredients. Additionally, while many formulas only require 2 or 3 slots to craft, the ingredients are not available for lower ranks. Every rank will always be able to safely craft the items of the lower ranks. Therefore a Master will be able to craft items available to Journeymen, Initiates and Apprentices.

When crafting a new recipe for the first time, the player is given an opportunity to share an Attraction Charm with friends, and the result of the crafting appears on the Hunter's Journal.

Before MouseHunt updated to Version 3.0 on 8 June 2010, the last slot of each rank was a Red Slot. If you used the correct recipe, and used the Red Slot, you had chance of losing all of your ingredients that you tried to use and not being successful in creating the new item. Otherwise, crafting works exactly the same now as it did before.

Unknown Recipes

When a new recipe is introduced and the ingredients are unknown, it is possible to determine the correct ingredients through trial and error. When you use the correct type of materials but in wrong quantities, you get a message saying, "Almost there The right parts are used but the quantities aren't correct," instead of the usual "Huh? Nothing seems to quite fit together."

If the quantities are right but the item cannot be constructed because the hunter has already reached the maximum inventory count for that item, the message states "Sorry Your inventory can not currently hold this item." For example, the S.S. Huntington III map piece is a capped inventory item, meaning it is not possible to craft both the Christened Ship and S.S. Huntington III recipes (however, both recipes can be learned by completing the recipe task of catching a Hydra mouse).

Hunter's Hammer

This section manages items that can be smashed for creating further items for crafting. The complete list of smashable items can be found under the Hunter's Hammer page. The Hunter's Hammer sub-tab is the only crafting ability available to hunters below Initiate rank.
