From MHWiki

Ronza has arrived and she's under attack!

24 July 2024

Travel there now!
Save Ronza's airship from dragons and their minions

Ronza has arrived and she's under attack!

Ronza has landed in Gnawnia but she picked up more than just turbulence on her way in. She is currently under attack by an Ice Dragon and its minions!

The onslaught began when she was still airborne and the ensuing struggle caused all of Ronza's Chrome Bits to fall overboard, scattering throughout the Kingdom.

Ronza will be grateful for any Chrome Bits that can be recovered and, as usual, has a bounty of rewards she can bestow upon the hunters who return them to her.


Here be dragons!

This new Ice Dragon seems to be targeting something more than just Chrome Bits!

This year, Ronza has brought some brand new hunting supplies for the MouseHunters of Gnawnia in an attempt to give them an advantage against the latest upcoming threat from the Mythweaver.

The dragon must have gotten wind of her plan and attempted to steal the supplies before they could be distributed to the MouseHunters.


Frosty fiends abound

This terrifying Ice Dragon and its minions are attacking Ronza's ship right now and it seems that the only thing that can distract them from their plundering is the icy cool taste of Abominable Asiago.

Travel to Ronza's airship, arm a Hydro trap, and hunt with this cheese to take down these icy invaders.

If you don't have any Abominable Asiago, you can earn it right now at Ronza's ship by hunting with Rockforth cheese. The Rockforth mice seem to be dropping loads of it!


A new way to earn Dragonbane Charms

Ronza's intel informs us that the Mythweaver's latest scheme involves dragons in an as of yet undiscovered location known as the Draconic Depths!

According to Ronza, the dragons down there are far more powerful than their kin on the surface so Dragonbane Charms will be an essential ingredient for success in that dismal place.

Recover Dragonhide Slivers from the dragons and their minions and exchange them in Ronza's shop for precious Dragonbane charms.


Unlock the upcoming Draconic Depths

Ronza has been searching for a way to descend into the Draconic Depths by discovering the Tale of the First Dragons but she still needs a few more supplies before she can complete her research.

Collect 100 of each grub from each dragon, deliver them to Ronza, and she'll reward you with the Tale of the First Dragons map piece to unlock the Draconic Depths when it releases on Tuesday, August 13, 2024!

Once the Draconic Depths releases, the Tale of the the First Dragons will also be available for purchase from the School of Sorcery Cartographer for 1,000,000 Gold and 1,000 Sorcerer's Sapphires.


More dragons en route

Each week while Ronza is here, new dragons and minions will arrive to attack her ship!

You'll need a different cheese to attract each wave but the Rockforth mice will always drop the cheeses you need.

Rimeus Polarblast: Attacking now!
Malignus Vilestrom: Arriving Tuesday, July 30 at 3:00pm UTC!
