==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns... ====
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
The harrowing hut has returned to nest in the '''Gloomy Greenwood''' for this year's Halloween celebration and with it, the spine-tingling siren song of the spooktacular Baba Gaga!
+
New Eggs and New Rewards!
 
 
Are you brave enough to travel back to the Gloomy Greenwood, conquer the collectors, command the cauldrons, and capture the most ghoulish performer of all time?
 
 
 
==== Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing ====
 
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!
 
  
Click on either cauldron to open up Baba '''Gaga's Recipe Book''' where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
 +
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
  
Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the '''Pungent Pumpkins''' that they are carrying. If you have any leftover Halloween event cheese from previous years, you can use it instead of basic bait.
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
 +
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
  
 +
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
  
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of '''Monterey Jack-O-Lantern'''. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
 +
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
 +
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
 +
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
  
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to '''Scream Cheese''' in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
  
 +
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
 +
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
  
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called '''Mousedrake Root'''. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
+
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
 
 
 
 
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all of the available potions and what each of them can do.

==== Newly Improved Potions! ====

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
Baba Gaga's special potions have developed new effects as a result of her wicked brewing experiments!
 
These potions can be purchased from the Gloomy Greenwood Apothecary in exchange for Evil Extract.

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Insidious Incense'''</div></div>
 
A new, foul smelling incense from the insidious mind of Baba Gaga is an extremely useful motivational tool for anyone gathering ingredients this spooky season. This incense was designed to increase the productivity of her followers while being free to pursue other more sinister schemes. Igniting this incense will add +1 to all ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, including Mousedrake Root! This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.

==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Reactive Reagent'''</div></div>
+
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
This potent chemical compound can be used to instantly finish any cauldron brew! Just add one for each hunt you have left in your brew and the cauldron will complete itself instantly! This wondrous powder is available from the Gloomy Greenwood Apothecary, the Reward Track, and the Premium Shop.
 
  
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.

|}
 
  
 +
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
  
==== Reap the Rewards ====
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
The Gloomy Greenwood has rewards in store for diligent hunters. Every time you brew a batch of Evil Extract, you will make progress on the Halloween Reward Track. There are many useful and exciting rewards awaiting you including Cursed Skulls, Spooky Shuffle tickets, Insidious Incense, and more!
+
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

==== Baba Gaga's Boon ====
+
==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
 +
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
Upon brewing 40 batches of Evil Extract and reaching the end of the Reward Track, Baba Gaga's Boon will become active in the Gloomy Greenwood! While hunting with Baba Gaga's evil enchantment in effect, mice will occasionally drop a random assortment of exciting potions!
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
  
==== The Spooky Shuffle is Back ====
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!
The Spooky Shuffle returns with updated rewards from the Bountiful Beanstalk in the '''Grand Duke/Duchess''' and Up reward tier!

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life.

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
