Gameplay Mechanics
Stockpiles
During the event, several locations are designated as lunar stockpiles.
- Non-event mice in those locations can drop Dumpling Cheese.
- Using Dumpling Cheese and Nian Gao'da Cheese in those locations can attract Lunar New Year mice that drop Lunar Lantern Candle and Red Lunar Lantern Candle.
- The list of stockpiles:
Lantern Lighting
The Hunter can get Dragon Lunar Lantern from the Camp HUD available during the event.
From the same HUD, the Hunter can choose to use Lunar Lantern Candle or Red Lunar Lantern Candle to receive lantern benefits.
One candle is consumed each hunt doing so.
Loot multiplying
The loot that mice drop can be multiplied with the use of candles, with a few exceptions.
- The multiplier depends on the type of candle used:
- Using Lunar Lantern Candle adds 1 set of loot the mouse drop (thus effectively doubles the loot).
- Using Red Lunar Lantern Candle adds 2 sets of loot the mouse drop (thus effectively triples the loot).
- The exceptions are:
Luck bonus
When the lantern is lit, a luck bonus takes effect.
- The amount of luck depends on lantern height, which is also raised by burning candles:
- Each Lunar Lantern Candle burned will raise the lantern height by 1 foot.
- Each Red Lunar Lantern Candle burned will raise the lantern height by 2 feet.
- For every 10 feet of height, the bonus luck increases by 1.
- The maximum height is 500 feet, making the maximum luck bonus 50.
Reward Track
Upon reaching certain lantern height milestones, there are rewards available.
The Hunter needs to claim these rewards manually.
