MouseHunt is turning '''nine years old''' and the King is celebrating with another delicious cupcake-filled party!
 
  
====Nine Cupcake Orders====
+
'''Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.'''<br>
It's time to celebrate MouseHunt's Birthday in super-sweet style! The King has organized delivery of various cupcake orders, however, he needs the help of hunters to ensure the pesky mice don't run away with all the sweet treats.
+
A new area has released in the Folklore Forest!
 +
 
 +
==== The Draconic Depths has Surfaced! ====
 +
Thanks to Ronza's tireless efforts, the Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it is unfolding beneath our very feet.
 +
 
 +
Instead of invading a world of fantasy yet again, this time the Mythweaver plans to invade the world with fantasy!
  
Head to the Birthday Party Zone in Gnawnia and help track down the mice running off with cupcakes to fulfill orders for the King! Upon arriving at the party zone, you can be working on up to three cupcake orders at once, and take on more elaborate orders as you complete previous ones!
+
So after losing his tenure at the School of Sorcery, this malevolent mastermind took it upon himself to dig up the very essence of fear and destruction in the minds and hearts of Gnawnians: dragons!
  
You can be working on up to three orders at the same time.
+
The King is now calling upon all MouseHunters ranked Viceroy and above to travel to the new '''Draconic Depths''' and stop this invasion before it takes flight.
  
====Collecting Cupcake Colby and Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby====
+
==== Prepare for your Descent ====
Hunt at the Birthday Party Zone with any "regular" bait such as Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ to collect sugary Cupcake Colby Potions to create Cupcake Colby. Use Cupcake Colby to lure mice to your trap that are carrying those delicious sweet cupcakes that you need to fulfill orders!
+
The '''Tale of the First Dragons''' map piece can be purchased from the School of Sorcery Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Sorcerer's Sapphires''', and requires completion of the Become a Master Sorcerer adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.
  
'''Cupcake Colby'''
+
==== New Dragon Hunting Gear at the New Trapsmith ====
:Regular Cupcake Colby is produced by Cupcake Colby Potions that can be collected as loot at the Birthday Party Zone. This cheese will attract a variety of mice that occasionally drop cupcakes.
+
The Trapsmith at the Draconic Depths is well prepared to aid the MouseHunters of Gnawnia in their daunting task to descend into this dangerous den of dragons!
  
'''Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby'''
+
<!-- 2x2 grid table -->
:Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby is produced by potions that are earned by shipping any cupcake order. Simple orders will earn you a single potion, however, more difficult orders will earn you two potions.
+
{| style="width: 66%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em"
:This extremely sweet cheese is a favourite of the various cupcake-themed mice at the party, including the elusive Cupcake Camo, Sprinkly Sweet Cupcake Cook, and Cupcake Candle Thief mice. These mice, with their especially powerful sweet teeth are known for stealing cupcakes and as such often drop one or more cupcakes when captured!

====Rare Cupcake Sprinkles====

<center>'''Dragon's Breath Opal Refractor Base'''</center>
When shipping an order of cupcakes, you can add Rare Cupcake Sprinkles to increase the reward you'll receive for shipping the order!
 
  
Shipping an order with sprinkles will always add either: 10 pieces of SUPER|brie+, 10 pieces of Magical String, 10 pieces of Glowing Gruyere Cheese, OR 10 pieces of Moon Cheese (depending on the type of order shipped). Additionally, you'll also receive a handful of other loot items based on the order you shipped, with more difficult orders rewarding a greater variety of items!
+

There are five types of cupcakes that can be found as loot while hunting with either type of Cupcake Colby. Cupcakes may also occasionally show up as the Gift of the Day to send to friends for free!
+
<center>'''Dragonsnare Net Launcher'''</center>
  
Red, Yellow, and Blue Cupcakes are the most commonly found type of cupcakes. They're used in every variety of order. If you find yourself with a few too many of a specific colour, visit the General Store where you can exchange 12 of a single colour for 6 differently-coloured cupcakes.
+

Green and Rainbow are harder to find than the other three cupcakes. More difficult orders will require more Green, and orders from year six, seven, eight, and nine '''always''' require one or two Rainbow cupcakes. You'll also find these cupcakes in Daily Loyalty Chests and as rare drops from mice!

While you're actively working on an order, a few mice that were released during that year can be encountered. Although these mice may vary in power type weaknesses, their insatiable love of sugar has them on an out-of-control sugar rush. Mice you encounter at the birthday party zone will have weaknesses to '''ALL''' power types, although, their typical weaknesses are still likely to be their greatest. These mice drop cupcakes the most often so be sure to always have an order on the go!
