==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
+
==== Clever hunters were able to uncover the Mythweaver's latest plot! ====
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features some brand new eggs, new rewards, and the return of Lady Laura!
+
After considerable effort, dedication, and ingenuity, the brave MouseHunters of Gnawnia were able to solve the Mythweaver's mystery and uncover his latest sinister plot!
  
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!
+
Thousands of MouseHunters came together and pooled their collective problem-solving skills to answer all six riddles after only six rigorous hours!
  
==== Lady Laura is Back! ====
+
Unfortunately, even though they were able to catch one iteration of the Mythweaver, he had already managed to write his concept into the next phase of his dastardly plan!
A familiar face has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia to celebrate the coming of spring: Lady Laura, the Chocolatier! But she is no ordinary Chocolatier. Lady Laura is a master of the lost art of CocoAlchemy which gives her the ability to wield the mighty power of the purest chocolate known to science: '''Chocolatonium'''!
 
  
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have ambushed her caravan and once again stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the spring event mice that are roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
+
==== The Plot Thickens ====
 +
From his extensive research while studying at the Crystal Library long ago, the Mythweaver learned of an alternate, albeit more difficult, way to alter the history and culture of this world: the long lost Folklore Tales.
  
'''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.
+
After his initial plan to rewrite the Book of Lore failed, he decided to move on to his backup plan which was to obtain one of these lost books and write himself into it so that he could change its outcome from the inside!
  
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
+
==== A Precarious Agreement ====
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!
+
Most scholars believed that these fabled tomes had vanished from this plane of existence long ago. But the Mythweaver is nothing if not resourceful, so he made the pilgrimage to the Acolyte Realm to convene with an entity that was also not of this plane of existence.
  
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.
+
After striking a deal, the details of which are unknown, this entity was able to manifest a copy of one of the lost Folklore Tales for the Mythweaver. The book was a very old and very important story in Gnawnian culture: the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk.
  
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
+
==== A Narrow Escape ====
There are '''6 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!
+
Sensing that the MouseHunters were closing in on him, the Mythweaver quickly wrote his concept directly into the book so that even though his physical form was captured, it was already too late!
  
 +
Now he is roaming free inside the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk where he is safe from any MouseHunters and undoubtedly wreaking untold havoc!

==== New Reward ====
+
The scholars are confident that very soon they will have learned the ability to write the concept of a MouseHunter directly into the story just as the Mythweaver did.
Unlocking shelves in Lady Laura's Chocolate Shop will earn you a special new reward as well as some returning items from previous years!
 
  
This year's new Jacked Rabbot™ Trap is not limited edition and will be looking to return next Spring Hunt so you can look forward to it each year!
+
Once this amazing feat has been accomplished, the MouseHunters of Gnawnia who have reached the rank of '''Viceroy or above''' will be able to travel into this story and put a stop to the Mythweaver in whatever new form that he has written for himself!

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
+
==== Catching Up ====
'''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.

Now that the mystery has been solved, the steps to complete it are available to all Archdukes/Archduchesses and above who have yet to do so.

The Mystery has been solved!

03 May 2023

The King is very grateful for your service! Clever hunters were able to uncover the Mythweaver's latest plot!

Clever hunters were able to uncover the Mythweaver's latest plot!

After considerable effort, dedication, and ingenuity, the brave MouseHunters of Gnawnia were able to solve the Mythweaver's mystery and uncover his latest sinister plot!

Thousands of MouseHunters came together and pooled their collective problem-solving skills to answer all six riddles after only six rigorous hours!

Unfortunately, even though they were able to catch one iteration of the Mythweaver, he had already managed to write his concept into the next phase of his dastardly plan!

The Plot Thickens

From his extensive research while studying at the Crystal Library long ago, the Mythweaver learned of an alternate, albeit more difficult, way to alter the history and culture of this world: the long lost Folklore Tales.

After his initial plan to rewrite the Book of Lore failed, he decided to move on to his backup plan which was to obtain one of these lost books and write himself into it so that he could change its outcome from the inside!

A Precarious Agreement

Most scholars believed that these fabled tomes had vanished from this plane of existence long ago. But the Mythweaver is nothing if not resourceful, so he made the pilgrimage to the Acolyte Realm to convene with an entity that was also not of this plane of existence.

After striking a deal, the details of which are unknown, this entity was able to manifest a copy of one of the lost Folklore Tales for the Mythweaver. The book was a very old and very important story in Gnawnian culture: the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk.

A Narrow Escape

Sensing that the MouseHunters were closing in on him, the Mythweaver quickly wrote his concept directly into the book so that even though his physical form was captured, it was already too late!

Now he is roaming free inside the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk where he is safe from any MouseHunters and undoubtedly wreaking untold havoc!

Hope on the Horizon

Despite not stopping the Mythweaver in time, hunters were successful in retrieving the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk which is currently being studied by the King's top scholars.

The scholars are confident that very soon they will have learned the ability to write the concept of a MouseHunter directly into the story just as the Mythweaver did.

Once this amazing feat has been accomplished, the MouseHunters of Gnawnia who have reached the rank of Viceroy or above will be able to travel into this story and put a stop to the Mythweaver in whatever new form that he has written for himself!

The Bountiful Beanstalk launches on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 3:00pm UTC to hunters ranked Viceroy and above who own the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk map piece item!

Catching Up

Now that the mystery has been solved, the steps to complete it are available to all Archdukes/Archduchesses and above who have yet to do so.

The Mystery will only be available until Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 3:00pm UTC!

Step 4:

Step 5:

Step 7:

After the Bountiful Beanstalk launches, the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk map piece item will be available at the Table of Contents Cartographer for 1,000,000 Gold and 1,000 Gnawbel Prizes.

You have until Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 3:00pm UTC to complete the mystery steps!
At that time, the Storyteller mice that are hiding around Gnawnia will vanish and the Bountiful Beanstalk location will launch!

Charm Shoppe Updates and Improvements!

The King and Moustachio the Charmer have been hard at work to find a more effective method of supplying the Kingdom with charms.

Nearly every area throughout the Kingdom now features its own Charm Shoppe, each with a revised offering of charms appropriate to that area. Additionally, Moustachio has developed two brand-new charms. The Super Lucky Power Charm and the Extreme Lucky Power Charm are now available!

Finally, Moustachio's charm innovations also include ways of improving the effectiveness for many mainstay charms resulting in increased stats. Make sure to have a look through your inventory to spot these changes!
