An eerie glow has cast itself across the lands of Gnawnia...

<blockquote>
−
====Climb to the Peak of Moussu Picchu====
+
====Bad Ship Rising...====
−
The King's Royal Cartographers have returned from their Labyrinth expedition and have discovered the passage to Moussu Picchu! Hunters with the rank of Grand Duke/Duchess or above who have obtained the Moussu Picchu Climbing Route can now access Moussu Picchu.
+
Our old friend Carl is back and he's really getting into the spooky spirit of things! Instead of touring Gnawnia on a cozy cruiseship, he's built a bunch of creepy, floating ghostships...? What a creepy guy! He's also sporting a rather convincing costume!
  
−
The mountain ranges of Moussu Picchu once spanned all of Hollow Heights, until the powerful storm dragon Ful'Mina, the Mountain Queen, reduced several mountains to rubble. Now, hunters can take control of the weather in Moussu Picchu to summon Ful'Mina for a wealth of rewards!
+
The ghostships have all picked a region in Gnawnia to haunt, spilling ghastly, ghoulish mice into otherwise ghost-free environs. Hunters will have to visit their favourite hunting location and help ground these ghostships!
  
−
====Wind and Rain====
+
Hey Carl... You, uh, doing okay there, buddy?
−
The mice of Moussu Picchu worship the sky and weather and have learned to control the weather itself! There are three distinct groups of mice in the area, the first control the wind, the second control the rain, and the third group are powerful dragons able to control both the wind and rain!
 
  
−
Explore Moussu Picchu to collect potions and brew cheese to lure these unique groups of mice towards your trap. Capturing Wind Wanderer mice will disrupt their control of the wind, allowing it to blow wildly, increasing the Wind Intensity. Similarly, capturing Rain Roamer mice will disrupt their control of the rain, allowing the deluge to fall, increasing the Rain Intensity.
+
====Bring Down the Ghostships====
 +
Several regions across Gnawnia have cursed ghostships disrupting the local mouse populations with spooky mice! Some locations are a bit different than the rest... These "haunted" locations seem to be the focal points for these visiting ghostships, and mice of an undead and otherwordly nature are invading these areas.
  
−
Although capturing the wind and rain mice increase weather intensity, failing to capture or attract mice will allow them to continue their harvest of wind and rain, causing the weather intensity to lower. However, this effect can be mitigated by lighting an enchanted Fire Bowl from your heads-up display. While lit, each hunt will consume Fire Bowl Fuel and prevent the weather intensity from decreasing.
+
*When hunting in a "haunted" location with cheese you'd normally use in that area, mice will drop '''Ghastly Galleon Gouda''', which attracts the spooky mice of Halloween!
 +
*Some of these mice carry '''Ethereal Cannonballs''', which hold the key to bringing down the ghostships.
 +
*Defeated ghostships drop '''Lockbox Limburger''', an attractive cheese to high-ranked undead pirates!
  
−
The wind and rain mice hold the key to luring the final powerful group of dragons in the form of Shadowvine and Arcanevine. These two crafting ingredients are used to create Dragonvine Cheese to attract dragons which, when captured, will cause both the wind and rain intensity to increase simultaneously.
+
When hunters have gathered Ethereal Cannonballs, they can hurl them at the floating ghostships in their region to slowly bring them down! Hunters can fire cannonballs at ghostships from any location where a ghostship is present.  
  
−
Experiment with controlling the weather and see which breeds you attract! Summon the perfect storm and Ful'Mina, the Mountain Queen herself, will come to your trap!
+
When your cannon is armed with an Ethereal Cannonball, catching a mouse will damage the ghostship by the same number of points of the captured mouse! The more valued the mouse, the more damage your cannon deals. The ghostship they affect is based on the location from which hunters attack.
  
−
====Dragon Scales and Draconic Rewards====
+
For example, the Furoma Ghostship can be attacked from the Training Grounds, Dojo, Meditation Room, or Pinnacle Chamber. In that particular region, only the Dojo itself is "haunted". This means that Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be found in that area, but cannonballs can be fired from any other location to bring down the regional ghostship.
−
Capturing the powerful Storm Dragon mice at Moussu Picchu will reward Dragon Scales which can be used at the shoppes to purchase rewards, or crafted to create unique items.
 
  
−
*'''Dragonvine Ballista Trap'''
+
''Remember that you can fire Ethereal Cannonballs from any location where a ghostship resides! However, Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be collected within the Haunted Ghostship Locations in these regions, listed below. Savvy hunters will save their cannonballs and hunt mice in the location worth the highest points, like the Master of the Dojo in the Furoma region, to bring down the ghostships even faster!''
−
:5,750 Power and +14 Luck with a unique design that shoots a heavy bolt that splits midair, spreading a heavy chain net around its dragon target.

To craft this powerful trap, collect three of Ful'Mina's teeth from the General Store, as loot drops, or from the Marketplace, and combine with the Dragonvine Ballista Trap Parts.
 
−
*'''Dragonbane Charms'''
 
−
:These charms have been found to be effective against the Storm Dragon mice of Moussu Picchu. Hunters can craft these charms themselves or purchase them from the Moussu Picchu Charm Shoppe.
 
−
*'''Extreme Power Charms'''
 
−
:The local Charm Shoppe owner at Moussu Picchu stocks an ample supply of Extreme Power Charms and is selling them for some gold, 4 Minerals, and 4 Dragon Scales.
 
−

−

Creepy Carl's Cursed Cruise is here!

17 October 2017

An eerie glow has cast itself across the lands of Gnawnia...

Bad Ship Rising...

Our old friend Carl is back and he's really getting into the spooky spirit of things! Instead of touring Gnawnia on a cozy cruiseship, he's built a bunch of creepy, floating ghostships...? What a creepy guy! He's also sporting a rather convincing costume!

The ghostships have all picked a region in Gnawnia to haunt, spilling ghastly, ghoulish mice into otherwise ghost-free environs. Hunters will have to visit their favourite hunting location and help ground these ghostships!

Hey Carl... You, uh, doing okay there, buddy?

Bring Down the Ghostships

Several regions across Gnawnia have cursed ghostships disrupting the local mouse populations with spooky mice! Some locations are a bit different than the rest... These "haunted" locations seem to be the focal points for these visiting ghostships, and mice of an undead and otherwordly nature are invading these areas.

  • When hunting in a "haunted" location with cheese you'd normally use in that area, mice will drop Ghastly Galleon Gouda, which attracts the spooky mice of Halloween!
  • Some of these mice carry Ethereal Cannonballs, which hold the key to bringing down the ghostships.
  • Defeated ghostships drop Lockbox Limburger, an attractive cheese to high-ranked undead pirates!

When hunters have gathered Ethereal Cannonballs, they can hurl them at the floating ghostships in their region to slowly bring them down! Hunters can fire cannonballs at ghostships from any location where a ghostship is present.

When your cannon is armed with an Ethereal Cannonball, catching a mouse will damage the ghostship by the same number of points of the captured mouse! The more valued the mouse, the more damage your cannon deals. The ghostship they affect is based on the location from which hunters attack.

For example, the Furoma Ghostship can be attacked from the Training Grounds, Dojo, Meditation Room, or Pinnacle Chamber. In that particular region, only the Dojo itself is "haunted". This means that Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be found in that area, but cannonballs can be fired from any other location to bring down the regional ghostship.

Remember that you can fire Ethereal Cannonballs from any location where a ghostship resides! However, Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be collected within the Haunted Ghostship Locations in these regions, listed below. Savvy hunters will save their cannonballs and hunt mice in the location worth the highest points, like the Master of the Dojo in the Furoma region, to bring down the ghostships even faster!

Ghostship Rewards

When a ghostship is defeated, it’ll crash to the ground and explode into loot! Cover your eyes: Splintered Wood is sharp!

The rewards provided are based on the region in which the ghostship was defeated. Expect to find gold, some basic and specialty baits, charms, and even items to help you in environments found within the region. You might find token packs for Furoma, Living Garden Essences, crafting items for Hollow Heights, and more!

In addition to regional loot rewards, hunters will find some Spooky Shuffle Tickets and Lockbox Limburger Cheese, used for hunting down the mysterious Captain Cannonball!

Spooky Aura

Defeating a ghostship grants the Spooky Aura, which provides bonus loot and a 30% Power Bonus to your trap!

When the aura is active, hunters will receive...

  • 30% Power Bonus
  • Chance to find Wealth Charms
  • Chance to find Cursed Gold

The amount of time the aura will remain active depends on the regional ghostship that was defeated. Each time you defeat a ghostship, the aura will be extended. It cannot be extended beyond December 1, 2017.

Capture Captain Cannonball

The dreaded pirate Captain Cannonball is said to be behind this ghostly incursion! Though, at this point, we also wonder how much of an influence Carl might have been... The King might have to have a word with him!

Use Lockbox Limburger Cheese found by defeating ghostships in one of the "haunted" locations to attract this mouse and bring an end to his spine-chilling reign. Capturing this mouse will complete this year's Halloween adventure, earning hunters a new Limited Edition trap and a new spooky journal theme!

Halloween Haunted Shipwreck Trap

A sunken ghostship wrested from the command of Captain Cannonball, it has been salvaged and repurposed by paranormal trapologists to function as a high-powered Hydro trap.

Hunting with this trap in the Sunken City will help you find extra loot when exploring Haunted Shipwrecks.

This limited edition trap can be earned by completing this year's Halloween adventure!

Haunted Ghostship Locations

The following is a list of all regions where ghostships are located and the Haunted Ghostship Locations where Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can be found.

Hunters can fire their cannons from any ghostship location, haunted or otherwise! But only Haunted Ghostship Locations will provide Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs.

Just how DID you make that costume, anyway? Uh... Carl? Why are you getting so close, Carl...? Carl?!?! CAAAAARLLL!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh...
