Gather Dumpling CheeseAt stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by just hunting the regular mice in the area with standard cheese.
Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event MiceGone are the days where you needed to catch these critters in a specific order! Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with the premium Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles.
Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!Now it's time for the fun part! With the Tiger Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping their rewards!
When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! And if you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles then you'll find TRIPLE loot!
The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!
Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!
Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck and the rewards keep getting better the higher you ascend! Be sure to check out the Heads-Up Display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track!

LAST STOP! FINAL DAYS OF THE GREAT WINTER HUNT ARE UPON US!
5 January 2022
Last chance to send out your golems!
Golem Parts, Pecan Pecorino, and other items can no longer be found as loot.
Slushy Conditions Slow Down Express
The first signs of slush have appeared as the Festive Comet slowly begins to melt. Ol' King Coal is becoming deterred by the constant meddling from hunters driving his profits deeper and deeper into the red. The muddy, less-than-festive ground conditions have caused mice to no longer carry Great Winter Hunt supplies.
Pecan Pecorino, Golem Parts, Sugar Cookies, and other festive items can no longer be found as loot drops.
Sending Out Final Golems
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until Tuesday, January 11. Have more parts than you think you'll be able to use before January 11? Smash extra Golem Parts into Animated Snow which can be spent at the General Store to purchase Festive Jingle Bells. These magical, one-time-use bells will help hastily return a golem, allowing you to quickly use up those excess parts!

Make sure to take stock of your final count of Sugar Cookies and then browse the various shops at the Festive Comet where you can spend them on all sorts of rewards!
Reminder: Before the start of the next Great Winter Hunt any Golem Parts and Animated Snow in your inventory will melt away, M.I.L.K. and Cookies will evaporate and crumble, and any Recovered Gifts will be collected by the King. Make sure to use all of these resources up before January 11!
