| − | ===M400 Prototype Escapes Digby!===
| |
| − | ''{{date|25|February|2014}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | An experimental robotic mouse has escaped the Town of Digby! The prototype known as M400 has hidden somewhere in the Kingdom where it is mass-producing copies of itself to invade Gnawnia!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The M400 Prototype====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Digby Scientists had what seemed to be a solid plan: Create a robot mouse to act as a spy and infiltrate the various armies of mice conspiring against Gnawnia. However, their plan quickly turned south when upon activating their creation it immediately aligned itself with mouse-kind, broke free from Digby, and vowed to destroy all humans.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The M400 is now hiding somewhere in the Kingdom where it is producing copies of itself in a plan to overtake Gnawnia. The King considers this threat of the utmost importance and has tasked the most experienced hunters in the Kingdom with tracking down this powerful foe. The M400 is no pushover; hunters require the title of Count/Countess and above in order to begin researching the mouse at the Crystal Library.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Attracting a Mechanical Mouse====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The M400 is far from a regular mouse. Its complex robotic make-up and computer systems require specific sustenance. Digby Scientists suspect regular bait simply will not be able to trick the intelligence of the M400 and lure it into a trap. How to create bait capable of attracting the M400 is still widely debated, however, the clue to discovering how to create it may lie with the M400 itself.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Upon escaping Digby, the M400 sought out a power source in the form of a half-technology, half-fondue like cheese. Before going into hiding, the M400 was spotted across the Kingdom, presumably hiding the ingredients for its power-supplying fondue. A new research assignment is now available at the Crystal Library to investigate where the M400 is currently hiding these ingredients in order to craft a batch of your own special bait.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Tracking the M400====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once you have completed your M400 bait research and obtained an ample supply of bait to hunt with, you may begin another research assignment at the Crystal Library to track down where the M400 is currently hiding. Due to limited reconnaissance on the M400's whereabouts, each assignment only has a single clue upon starting it. Follow the trail and hunt mice across the Kingdom to gather intel and eventually reveal the M400's hiding spot.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Once you have finally uncovered where the M400 is hiding, arm your fondue to lure the M400 into a trap. Take warning, though! The M400 was created to stand toe-to-toe with some of the strongest mice adversaries known! Its unique programming and understanding of hunting equipment makes it resistant to all hunting equipment, with only a very small weakness to Physical and Tactical traps. Mustachio, the Charm Master, recommends arming your most powerful charms to help your odds of success. After all, fondue cheese is extremely difficult to gather, so you'll want to make each and every piece of bait count!<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Upon capturing the M400 Mouse, its systems will trigger a retreat, causing it to once again go into hiding. You'll need to start another research assignment to follow its trail and find where it's hiding again. Take note, each time the M400 goes into hiding it will likely take a different path, meaning the research assignment to find it will be entirely different.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''No matter your strategy, one thing is clear:''' Make sure you have an ample supply of Fusion Fondue Cheese before beginning to research the M400. If the M400 steals all your bait, you'll need to start tracking it from the beginning again!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====With Great Research Comes Great Rewards====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Researching the M400 will require you to flex your mind in every way possible! Upon completing your bait research, the librarians at the Crystal Library will reward you with Library Points, Tomes of Wisdom, and Wealth Charms.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Researching and capturing the M400 Mouse will earn you even more rewards! The M400's systems utilizes the unique energy contained within charm orbs. Upon completing your research assignment, the Crystal Library Librarians will extract as many of these orbs as they can from the M400 and place them in your inventory.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Look the Part with New M400 Skins====
| + | NEWSPOST OPENING LINE(S) |
| | | | |
| − | The M400's unique AI programming includes a healthy curiosity about hunting traps and equipment. The robotic mouse analyzes traps to better understand how to avoid them, and even makes attempts at assimilating trap technology to serve mouse instead of hunter. Upon capturing an M400, you may find evidence of this curiosity in the form of a new trap skin.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | In response to the escape of the M400 are two new skins: one for the Sandstorm MonstroBot, and another for the Chrome MonstroBot. The first is adorned in the same metallic coating as the M400 itself, while the second, has been outfitted with a similar propulsion and flight system! They were designed to help further disguise the MonstroBot but the M400 stole the entire shipment, thinking the similar-looking "robot" could aid it. With some luck, you may find one of these two skins upon capturing an M400 Mouse.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Some preliminary research done by both Digby Scientists and Crystal Library Librarians has secured a quantity of one of these skins, which the King has made available to hunters. However, the second skin, which fits the Chrome MonstroBot, complete with propulsion and flight systems, can only be found as loot when capturing the M400 Mouse itself.

| | | | |
| − | All of the shops on board Carl's Cozy Cruise have been moved to a location in Gnawnia known as the Vacant Lot. If you were aboard the cruise when it came to an end, you'll now find yourself in this location. Make sure to visit the Vacant Lot and spend any Cruise Bux you earned while on the cruise. The shops there will remain open for approximately one week, so don't delay -- shop today!

| | | | |
| − | Last week there was a Toxic Spill outside the Laboratory. Carl's ship managed to cruise right through the sludge and past the venomous mice there, however, the mess still needs cleaning up. If you're up for it, visit the Toxic Spill in the Burroughs to lend a hand in the cleanup efforts. Just make sure to roll up your sleeves while checking your trap. That polluted sludge looks like it may stain clothing!

| − | ===New Orb Discovery and Improved Train Schedule===
| |
| − | ''{{date|06|February|2014}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | New loot drops, gifts, and train updates! Working closely with Larry, we've assembled some info and tips of what's new in the Kingdom.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Mice Carrying Charm Orbs==== | + | ==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ==== |
| − | It appears as though several breeds of mice have taken an interest in collecting Charm Orbs! It must be the shiny glass that makes some mice love picking them up. This means you'll now find various Orbs as loot while hunting in more locations across the Kingdom!<br/><br/>
| + | A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''! |
| − | '''Larry reports that various types of Charm Orbs can now be found in:'''
| |
| − | :- Jungle of Dread (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Balack's Cove (Flawless and Divine Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Slushy Shoreline (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Iceberg (Flawed, Simple, Flawless, and Divine Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Claw Shot City (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | If you're an avid charm crafter, make sure to check out these locations and see if you can spot which breeds are now carrying Orbs as loot!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Mustachio's Gifts of the Day====
| + | For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''! |
| − | Mustachio is always eager to see hunters explore charm crafting and see what powerful types of charms they're able to discover. His enthusiasm for charm crafting is so great that he has offered his own personal supply of Flawed and Simple Orbs to the King to use as special gifts of the day. Flawed and Simple Orbs will now occasionally appear as a free Gift of the Day. Make sure to check the Free Gifts section regularly to spot when these items show up!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Dreaded Charm Power Shift====
| + | This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters. |
| − | The arrival of Charm Orbs in the Jungle of Dread appears to have had an effect on how Dreaded Charms work in the area. Now, instead of a Dreaded Charm being effective against mice of the Dreaded Horde, the charm provides the same power bonus to your trap at all times while hunting in the Jungle of Dread. This subtle change means that you'll now see the effect of the charm on all mice, meaning your trap's power will be visibly higher while in the Jungle of Dread. Mustachio is still investigating this minor shift in power, but you can observe it yourself in the Trap Selector!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Gnawnian Express Train Schedule====
| + | So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started! |
| − | A breakthrough in locomotive technology has allowed for a single engine to pull a significantly larger number of passenger cars! What does this mean? Well, each train can now hold more hunters than ever when leaving the Gnawnian Express Station. The train schedule has been modified accordingly with a single train leaving each hour carrying a much larger number of hunters. Feel like taking a wild train ride? Dust off your conductor's cap and climb aboard! Just make sure to buckle up in Daredevil Canyon, I hear it's a bit of a bumpy ride.
| |
| − | <br/><br/>
| |
| − | Thus concludes Larry's findings from across the Kingdom! Until next time hunters, happy hunting!

| | + | <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| | + | '''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | + | After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here. |
| | | | |
| − | Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise can be found in Gnawnia near the Harbour. This cruise party is like no other Carl has hosted before: This year's cozy cruise is not only decorated for Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day, but also has an expansive sports deck, complete with an ice rink! The new sports deck appears to have attracted some athletic mice, however, their taste in bait is a little different than mice currently found on the mainland.
| + | She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years. |
| | | | |

| | | | |
| − | Carl's mechanical prowess certainly leaves much to be desired. He's completely forgotten to supply an adequate source of fuel for his massive cruise ship!<br/><br/>
| + | The Cartographer at the King's Arms has discovered a stash of Relic Hunter Scroll Cases and is now selling them to adventurous hunters for 10 Ancient Relics each. |
| | | | |
| − | To get the ship sailing at a proper pace, he's going to need your help. Luckily, some of the mice on board the ship are carrying just the explosive item you need: Fireworks. These are not just any fireworks! Their mighty blast, when timed perfectly from the rear of the ship, is capable of propelling the ship forward. Collect basic Firecracker Charms as loot drops to speed the ship up, or find more powerful varieties to move even quicker, leaving behind a mighty wake!<br/><br/>

| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | While using various types of firework charms to propel the ship, you'll no doubt notice that the mice you attract change depending on the type of fireworks show you're putting on. It appears that some of the mice which are costumed for Lunar New Year only come out to party when the fireworks get BIG!
| + | The Limited Edition rewards of the final Relic Hunter season are gone but a new reward can now be found inside Relic Hunter Treasure Chests: '''Gilded Coins'''! |

| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | It's a little chilly out in the Rodentia Ocean. In fact, it's cold enough to keep an ice rink frozen on the sports deck! Various sporty mice have flocked to the cruise to try out not only the ice rink, but the various other sports facilities the ship offers. However, luring them away from their sport poses a challenge. You'll need to get your hands on some Runny Cheese to break their athletic discipline and have them visit your trap.<br/><br/>
| + | Take these Gilded Coins to the King's Arms where you can use them to purchase '''Gilded Trap Skins''', '''Gilded Charms''', or even '''Slayer Scroll Cases'''! |
| | | | |
| − | Calamity Carl has stocked the gift shop with some Runny Cheese, which can be sent as a free gift to friends each day. While you're sending gifts, make sure to check out the wide variety of other festive items you can send to friends! Some are free of charge, while others carry a cost of gold.<br/><br/>

These nautical coins are handed out as celebrations for safely arriving at new areas of Gnawnia while cruising, and can also be found as loot drops from mischievous mice who keep running off with the stuff!

Once you've obtained your Cavalry Sword and amassed some Cruise Bux, visit the various shoppes on board to browse what hunting loot they have for sale. If you're the type that likes to remember where you've been with mementos, then the General Store will be of particular interest.

| − | ===A Toxic Spill has occurred outside the Laboratory!===
| |
| − | ''{{date|21|January|2014}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | | |
| − | A spill of toxic waste has happened at the Laboratory! The Toxic Spill has polluted the opening of the Burroughs River causing the mice there to mutate into powerful monsters! Read on to learn how hunters can help hunt the mice there and clean up the pollution.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The Toxic Spill marks the first release in the Year of the Noble which represents a series of content releases aimed at adding new challenges for experienced hunters with high-ranked hunter's titles!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Outbreaks and Toxic Spills====
| |
| − | Toxic Spills are the result of a build up of polluted waste from the Lab spilling into the river due to the filtration system being damaged beyond repair by mice. The damaged filters block the waste until they give under the weight of the waste, causing it to flow into the river.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | It's somewhat unpredictable how often a spill occurs and just how much waste will be spilled, however, with waste always building up these spills are likely to occur somewhat frequently. Each time there is a spill the amount of waste spilled is a little different, meaning each spill will vary in its level of severity.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Depending on the level of severity, access to the area will be restricted: Higher levels of toxic waste are restricted to higher-hunter's title, while lower levels of waste will allow for less experienced hunters to enter the spill area. These restrictions are for good reason -- High levels of contamination are when the most powerful mice are active requiring experienced hunters with powerful hunting equipment!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Contamination Levels====
| |
| − | A Toxic Spill can be of eight possible contamination levels. As mice are captured, the contamination level will lower.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The minimum title required to enter different levels of contamination:
| |

| − | As you may expect, more powerful mice can be found during high contamination levels, while slightly weaker mice can be found during lower levels. Similarly, the more powerful mice come with the greatest reward of gold and points.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Hunters with a title of Hero or above will be made aware of the current contamination level via a banner placed above their journal while hunting outside the Toxic Spill. If you're interested in helping and lack the necessary title to enter, check in periodically to track the progress of higher-ranked hunters and see when you'll be able to enter the Toxic Spill.

| − | ====Hunting strategies for the Toxic Spill====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thanks to the early efforts of Digby Scientists, the King and Larry were able to gain valuable insight on how to hunt the mice at the Toxic Spill. Their findings include a distinct weakness to hydro traps, as well as a new type of bait called Rancid Radioactive Blue. Rancid Radioactive Blue is a more pungent version of Radioactive Blue and can be made my smashing Radioactive Blue to obtain its curd and combining two curds with Radioactive Sludge and Ionized Salt. Alternatively, the keeper at the Cheese Shoppe will sell you Rancid Radioactive Blue, so long as you provide him some regular Radioactive Blue, Radioactive Sludge, and some gold to cover the cost of Ionized Salt.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | No matter how you obtain your bait, you'll want to arm your absolutely strongest hydro trap. The polluted mice at the Toxic Spill seem to only be weakened with a healthy dose of water, making all other power types ineffective.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Collecting and refining Crude Pollutinum====
| |
| − | | |
| − | While hunting at the Toxic Spill you'll likely come across the unique item Crude Pollutinum. This gooey resource can be refined into a more useful item simply called Pollutinum. The refined version is undoubtedly a much more useful item for crafting that has hunters across the Kingdom excited about its possible use. The King's trapsmith is tinkering with Pollutinum to create a new base, while Mustachio is interested in how it could be used to create charms. Some hunters interested in cosmetics are exploring how to create unique trap skins with Pollutinum.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | An important word of caution: Refining Crude Pollutinum is a process to dangerous to attempt while a Toxic Spill is actively raising the levels of radiation in the Kingdom; You'll need to wait until the Toxic Spill is entirely cleaned before you can refine Crude Pollutinum into it's more useful refined state.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Finally, in order to safely store Crude Pollutinum in your inventory, each hunter has been given a containment barrel from the King capable of holding 200 units of Crude Pollutinum. Larger barrels can be crafted with scraps found in the Toxic Spill, allowing you to store more Crude Pollutinum each time a Toxic Spill occurs.

| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | Pollution levels outside the lab are rising! Digby Scientists predict that a deadly toxic spill is imminent!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Laboratory Outflow Filters====
| |
| − | The Laboratory has long been entirely overrun with mice, however, Digby Scientists are now reporting that the infestation is beginning to affect more than just the Lab. The waste outflow pipes that pour into the Burroughs River have had their filtration system chewed through by mice, making them much less reliable.<br/><br/> Without a properly functioning filtration system, the pollutants generated at the Lab are slowly building up in the river opening, forming a delta of radioactive waste. The scientists at Digby are predicting that once this pollution reaches a critical mass, a massive toxic spill will occur!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Early Toxic Spill Research====
| |
| − | A small team of brave scientists from Digby ventured into the Laboratory to investigate the potential effects of pollution entering the Burroughs river on mice in the area. A few experiments later, their most-feared hypothesis was proven true: The toxic waste has dastardly effects on mice, increasing their size and strength, while others gain new found powers! The toxic environment also appears to make the mice extremely aggressive, making them a serious threat to the safety of the Kingdom.<br/><br/>With no doubt in the scientists' minds that a toxic spill is imminent, the King has called upon experienced hunters to stand at the ready and brace themselves to hunt mice at the toxic spill.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The cleanup strategy will be as follows:
| |
| − | :*When the spill first occurs and is at its highest contamination level, more experienced hunters will need to head in and capture the most powerful mice.
| |
| − | :*As the contamination level drops and the more powerful mice are removed, lower ranks of hunters will be permitted to enter the area.
| |
| − | :*Repeat this strategy as the pollution levels continue to drop, allowing in more and more hunters, until the area is completely free of contaminants.<br/>
| |
| − | Although the scientists are not positive how severe the toxic spill may be, the King is asking for hunters with the title of Hero all the way to Archduke to be at the ready.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Digby scientists have not finished their investigation, but they're able to share one preliminary finding that may help hunters prepare for the imminent toxic spill: Mice exposed to the toxic waste can be lured closer by extremely radioactive and rancid items. Although standard Radioactive Blue Cheese has not proven effective, they're confident that should a more rancid variety of this cheese be crafted, it would be extremely effective.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Digby scientists are recommending that hunters stock up on both Radioactive Blue Cheese and Radioactive Sludge as they suspect both items will prove valuable in the upcoming Toxic Spill.'''
