====Valentine's Mice Appear at All Event Locations====
+
====Strange Anomaly in Gnawnia====
A few romantic mice arrived at each of the Lunar New Year event locations and, with much love in their eyes, quickly multiplied and have nearly overtaken the areas! Eww! Head to any of the Lunar New Year event locations to encounter these lovey-dovey mice and collect some lovely charms and tasty Nian Gao'da Cheese while you're at it.
+
Oh thank goodness, a fellow hunter! I was helping some new recruits in the Meadow when suddenly a flash of light swept over us. When our vision cleared everything was... different!
  
Each of the Valentine's mice will drop either a Valentine Charm or Lucky Valentine Charm. In addition to their Valentine Charm drop, each of these new event mice have a chance to drop a piece of Nian Gao'da Cheese.
+
The Harbour is destroyed, the Eclipse Mouse roams free, the Marching Flame has secured the entirety of the Sandtail Desert, and most shocking of all: A '''mouse is now King!''' Something is terribly wrong, hunters!!!
  
The arrival of these new event mice has not affected the population of costumed Lunar New Year mice.
+
This can't be a coincidence. The strange anomaly emanating from near the castle must be responsible for this change which I can only surmise is a shift in the timeline!
  
Feel the love while you can! These heart-loving event mice will leave on Friday, February 16.
+
====10 Years of Altered History====
 +
From what I've gathered, it seems this pretender "mouse king" has made critical changes to the past 10 years that have resulted in mice achieving total victory against hunters.
  
====Limited Time Premium Shop Items====
+
The culprit king is a fashion-obsessed mouse that has used various magical sewing supplies such as Time Thread, Spacetime Spool, and Fabric of Time to travel back and change events over the last 10 years.
To help spread the love, the King has stocked the Premium Shop with a lovely new skin for the Meteor Prison Core Trap as well as a supply of Valentine and Lucky Valentine Charms.
 
  
Grab these deals while you can! They'll disappear on Friday, February 16 when the Valentine's event mice leave.
+
You must explore the strange anomaly, track down these resources yourself, and repair the Quilt of Time, as it were, to unravel what the Time Thief Mouse has sewn!
  
*'''Valentine Heart Core Trap Skin'''<br>
+
====Changing History to Help Hunters====
:Skin the Meteor Prison Core
+
If you're successful, perhaps you can can alter history to give hunters a special edge. If you restore the timeline, you'll be able to share current era trap knowledge with trapsmiths of the past, resulting in some serious trap upgrades! Just be sure to keep it a secret from the Department of Temporal Investigations. Which may or may not even exist right now...?
*'''50 Lucky Valentine Charms'''<br>
 
:Luck and Attraction!
 
*'''15 Valentine Charms'''<br>
 
:25% Attraction Bonus
 
*'''<3 Gift Basket'''<br>
 
:Great gift!
 
*'''Lovely Valentine Bouquet'''<br>
 
:Show them you care
 
  
'''Valentine's event mice leave on Friday, February 16.'''
+
Check out the Trapsmith at the anomaly for a glimpse at what will be once the timeline is restored. There are plans for five special Anniversary Edition traps that offer some serious bonuses to iconic traps of the past. These traps all have an impressive Luck Bonus as well as a 10% chance to unleash years of hunting power against a mouse to instantly catch it.
  
</blockquote>
+
Completing the adventure to restore Gnawnia's 10-Year Timeline also comes with a host of new and unique rewards! You'll be rewarded with a 10 Layer Birthday Cake Base, a Magical Birthday Cake, and 100 Hunter's Horn Rewind Charms.
  
===Winter Games Celebration===
+
*'''10 Layer Birthday Cake Base'''
''{{date|9|February|2018}}''
+
:Combines 10 different flavours of cake into one delicious base sporting a handy +10 Luck Bonus! The cupcake portions of the base also contain a few magical sprinkles that will cause mice to occasionally drop Cupcake Charms as loot.
 +
*'''Magical Birthday Cake'''
 +
:This magical cake comes lit with blazing candles for you to blow out. Blowing out the candles on the cake will reward you 10 SUPER|brie+ for each year you've been a MouseHunter. If you've yet to play an entire year, you'll receive 10 SUPER|brie+. Finally, the magical candles will relight on your MouseHunt Anniversary (the date you became a MouseHunter). Look forward to blowing out the candles each year!
 +
*'''Hunter's Horn Rewind Charm'''
 +
:These charms are imbued with temporal time-controlling energy that is unleashed when you fail to capture a mouse. When activated, the charm will rewind time on your Hunter's Horn to five seconds before you last sounded it, allowing you to hunt again within moments. Note that your cheese is outside the control of this charm, so you'll still lose your bait when it activates.
  
New mice at Lunar New Year locations!
+
====Anniversary Aura====
 +
There are four types of Treasure Maps to embark upon to earn great rewards, including a special Anniversary Aura that gives any mouse a chance of dropping a piece of SUPER|brie+! Opening any of the new Birthday or Time Traveler Themed Treasure Chests will reward or extend this aura.
  
<blockquote>
+
*Birthday Treasure Chests provide 1 day of aura.
 
+
*Time Traveler's Treasure Chests provide 2 days of aura.
====Sporty Mice Appear at All Event Locations====
+
*Gilded Birthday Treasure Chests provide 2 weeks of aura.
A brief cold snap was felt throughout all Lunar New Year event locations as a wave of wintery, sporty mice suddenly appeared. It seems they're holding some sort of competition to see which of them can best outrun and avoid hunters' traps while trying to stay upright in all the snow and ice!
+
*Gilded Time Traveler's Treasure Chests provide 1 month of aura.
 
 
The various sporty event mice all carry with them some magical torches that can be used as hunting charms! Hunting with a Torch Charm will cause it to burn up and reveal a random item that will be added to your inventory.
 
 
 
It's worth noting that the arrival of these mice hasn't affected the population of the costumed Lunar New Year mice, so targeting those mice and collecting Lunar Candles won't be any more challenging due to the presence of these sporty mice.
 
 
 
The competition being held by the sporty event mice lasts just for the weekend, so get your Torch Charms while you can!
 
 
 
The sporty mice will leave on Monday, February 12.
 
 
 
====Limited Time Premium Shop Items====
 
To celebrate this new hunting challenge, the King has stocked the Premium Shop with a chilly looking trap skin for the Timesplit Dissonance Trap, as well as a supply of Torch Charms.
 
 
 
Grab these deals while you can, they'll disappear on Monday, February 12 when the sporty event mice leave.
 
 
 
*'''Winter Cup Dissonance Skin'''<br>
 
:Skin the Infinite Labyrinth Trap
 
*'''100 Torch Charms'''<br>
 
:Find bonus items

The various costumed mice from previous years will come out of hiding in a specific order with the Costumed Dog Mouse being last. Capturing the Costumed Dog Mouse will reward the Dog Lunar Lantern, which can be used to double or even triple loot ANYWHERE in the Kingdom!

Raising your lantern will also unlock luck bonuses while your lantern is lit, up to an amazing +50 Luck for raising your lantern to 500 feet!

Temporal Tear in Time Threatens Timeline!

5 March 2018

A call for help from Larry!

Strange Anomaly in Gnawnia

Oh thank goodness, a fellow hunter! I was helping some new recruits in the Meadow when suddenly a flash of light swept over us. When our vision cleared everything was... different!

The Harbour is destroyed, the Eclipse Mouse roams free, the Marching Flame has secured the entirety of the Sandtail Desert, and most shocking of all: A mouse is now King! Something is terribly wrong, hunters!!!

This can't be a coincidence. The strange anomaly emanating from near the castle must be responsible for this change which I can only surmise is a shift in the timeline!

10 Years of Altered History

From what I've gathered, it seems this pretender "mouse king" has made critical changes to the past 10 years that have resulted in mice achieving total victory against hunters.

The culprit king is a fashion-obsessed mouse that has used various magical sewing supplies such as Time Thread, Spacetime Spool, and Fabric of Time to travel back and change events over the last 10 years.

You must explore the strange anomaly, track down these resources yourself, and repair the Quilt of Time, as it were, to unravel what the Time Thief Mouse has sewn!

Changing History to Help Hunters

If you're successful, perhaps you can can alter history to give hunters a special edge. If you restore the timeline, you'll be able to share current era trap knowledge with trapsmiths of the past, resulting in some serious trap upgrades! Just be sure to keep it a secret from the Department of Temporal Investigations. Which may or may not even exist right now...?

Check out the Trapsmith at the anomaly for a glimpse at what will be once the timeline is restored. There are plans for five special Anniversary Edition traps that offer some serious bonuses to iconic traps of the past. These traps all have an impressive Luck Bonus as well as a 10% chance to unleash years of hunting power against a mouse to instantly catch it.

Completing the adventure to restore Gnawnia's 10-Year Timeline also comes with a host of new and unique rewards! You'll be rewarded with a 10 Layer Birthday Cake Base, a Magical Birthday Cake, and 100 Hunter's Horn Rewind Charms.

  • 10 Layer Birthday Cake Base
Combines 10 different flavours of cake into one delicious base sporting a handy +10 Luck Bonus! The cupcake portions of the base also contain a few magical sprinkles that will cause mice to occasionally drop Cupcake Charms as loot.
  • Magical Birthday Cake
This magical cake comes lit with blazing candles for you to blow out. Blowing out the candles on the cake will reward you 10 SUPER|brie+ for each year you've been a MouseHunter. If you've yet to play an entire year, you'll receive 10 SUPER|brie+. Finally, the magical candles will relight on your MouseHunt Anniversary (the date you became a MouseHunter). Look forward to blowing out the candles each year!
  • Hunter's Horn Rewind Charm
These charms are imbued with temporal time-controlling energy that is unleashed when you fail to capture a mouse. When activated, the charm will rewind time on your Hunter's Horn to five seconds before you last sounded it, allowing you to hunt again within moments. Note that your cheese is outside the control of this charm, so you'll still lose your bait when it activates.

Anniversary Aura

There are four types of Treasure Maps to embark upon to earn great rewards, including a special Anniversary Aura that gives any mouse a chance of dropping a piece of SUPER|brie+! Opening any of the new Birthday or Time Traveler Themed Treasure Chests will reward or extend this aura.

  • Birthday Treasure Chests provide 1 day of aura.
  • Time Traveler's Treasure Chests provide 2 days of aura.
  • Gilded Birthday Treasure Chests provide 2 weeks of aura.
  • Gilded Time Traveler's Treasure Chests provide 1 month of aura.

Although opening additional chests will extend the aura, the magic of the Anniversary Aura may not be extended beyond March 7, 2019.

Hunting Supplies to Travel Through Time

Along with the altered timeline have also come new items that can be used to gain an advantage for hunters! Rewind Raclette, a new time-sensitive cheese, is a favourite of the time weaving mice, and a Reality Restitch Charm will pull an especially lucrative mouse into phase and towards your trap.

The time shift has also caused two new Gilded Scroll Cases to appear which are sure to lead to impressive treasure, including the Lucky Golden Shield!
