==== Updates to the Forbidden Grove and Balack's Cove ====
 
 
 
<p>As the number of hunters in the Forbidden Grove and Balack's Cove increased, the process of manually moving thousands of hunters to a new location all at once was becoming increasingly problematic. We've given these two areas a slight overhaul to have them behave in a more predictable and functional way!</p>
 
 
 
<p>When hunting in the Forbidden Grove a new custom heads-up display will be visible showing how long until the grove will close. When the heavy stone gates close, the area is filled with a dense black fog and a new mouse, the Realm Ripper will be present. This mouse is extremely weak to Arcane traps and upon being captured will transport the hunter to the Acolyte Realm.</p>
 
 
 
<p>[http://i54.tinypic.com/2mmhsm.png Forbidden Grove heads-up display]</p>
 
 
 
<p>Balack's Cove has been given a similar upgrade, where catching a Riptide mouse will wash the hunter out into the Jungle of Dread. When hunting in the cove a custom heads-up display is also displayed showing the current height of the tides. The tides have three possible heights; Low, medium and high. During low tide no Riptide mice are present, during medium tide the Riptides become abundant and finally during high tide only Riptide mice can be encountered. Low tide lasts the longest, while high tide is very short. Due to the Riptide mice concentrating their power on raising the tide, they're a little weaker than they were before. A new mouse has also been added to the cove that can only be encountered during low tide to keep a similar variety of the mice you can catch in Balack's Cove.</p>
 
 
 
<p>[http://i56.tinypic.com/34teurd.png Balack's Cove heads-up display]</p>
 
 
 
 
 
==== Search Filters for Profile Collection Items ====
 
 
 
<p>Search filters, similar to the mice stat page have been added to item collections on hunter profiles. By clicking the links in the top-right corner you can view items you have collected, have yet to collect, or all. Any item you do not own will have a black and white thumbnail, while items you do own will be in full-colour.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Small limited edition badges have also been added to thumbnails to remove confusion about what is limited edition and what items may return during future events. Limited edition items do not count in the main totals (which are shown on the tabs). However, if you do collect a LE item, it will be shown separately within parenthesis.</p>
 
 
 
  
 +
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Get your map party started'''<br>
 +
Twice as many hunters per map for the next two weeks!</div>
  
==== Other small but exciting updates! ====
 
 
* By popular demand: quantity has been added to the camp page trap selector.
 
* Descriptions have been added for all map pieces.
 
* The Dragon Mouse image has been restored to its original landscape dimensions and looks totally awesome!
 
* Your title on the heads-up display can now be clicked to view a list of all titles, and what each title unlocks.
 
* Hunters can now publish images of mice to albums on their Facebook profile. Click a mouse image on the mouse page to check it out.
 
* The PartyBot was missing the limited edition badge.
 
* Fixed a problem where catch stats for Chess Master and Tower King mice were being recorded in the Seasonal Garden instead of Zugzwang's Tower.
 
* Fixed a problem where trap effectiveness was not displayed correctly for Pawn Pincher traps until the page was refreshed.

<p>Hi MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
<p>Now that many of you are settled into classes and the rest of the back-to-school specials are over in your local stores, we figured we'd buck the trend, and give it to you WHILE you're with your friends at school! (I mean, who likes using SB+ alone anyways?!?).</p>
+
==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
 +
A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
<p>Until monday at 5pm EDT, we'll be offering SB+ at 15% off. We rarely ever do this (in fact, it's only happened once before...) so if you're in the market for SuperBrie+, I'd highly recommend you get some quick.</p>
+
For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''!
  
<p>In case you're unaware of what SB+ does, it's a cheese that attracts mice to your trap nearly 100% of the time...(REPEAT: I said NEARLY ;) Go ahead, try it out by buying some, or get some given to you from a friend. You'll see the difference it makes nearly immediately. </p>
+
This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters.
  
<p>Enjoy the lower prices! </p>
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!

'''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse'''
<p>A new area is now open for Lord and Lady hunters!</p>
+
</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.
  
<p>Zugzwang's Tower is located in the Rodentia Region, and hunters can gain access to it once they have collected four key shards from the Seasonal Garden and assembled them into Zugzwang's Tower Key. The tower is like no other hunting location in the game, featuring a brand new way to hunt mice!</p>
+
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.
  
<p>If you have been hunting in the new Seasonal Garden area, you have no doubt noticed your increasing 'Tower Amplifier' stat on the heads-up display. With the tower now open, it's time to put that amplifier to use! When hunting in Zugzwang's Tower, your trap's power will be multiplied by your Tower Amplifier, providing a power bonus of up to 75%. When your amplifier drops below 100%, your trap's power and luck will begin to reduce, until they become zero and you are incapable of capturing mice. When your amplifier runs low, make sure to return to the Seasonal Garden to recharge it.</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
'''Relic Hunter Treasure Maps'''
 +
</div>
  
<p>Your amplifier won't be the only new stat displayed on your heads-up display while in Zugzwang's Tower. Additionally, two new progress bars will appear showing how many Technic and Mystic mice you have caught since you entered. Upon capturing the correct mice, new types will then be available along with previous varieties. The correct order of capture is: Eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and finally the king. In order to win, you will have to battle your way through all the chess pieces in the Tower.</p>
+
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.
  
<p>There's lots of new items and loot to be found in the tower! Hunting kings may reveal how to attract a more fearsome adversary who holds a key item to crafting a very powerful base. The Seasonal Garden's trapsmith and general store have new items for sale specifically for hunting within Zugzwang's Tower. Winning this game of chess will require some thought and strategy, so study these new traps and items carefully and plan your moves in advance!</p>

<p>There's a lot more than a new area in this release! We've overhauled a few existing pages and even added a brand new section!</p>

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'''!

<p>Loot items are now clickable in journal entries and link to a new page called "Larry's Loot Lexicon". This new page shows some basic item information to help reduce confusion when finding a new item for the first time.</p>
+
These breathtakingly beautiful new trap skins can be purchased from the King's Arms using Gilded Coins or from the Premium Shop.
  
<p>We added black and white thumbnails and search filters to the stats section of the mice page and hunter profiles. This change will easily allow hunters to see what mice in a group they have yet to catch to help to see how to complete their collection!</p>
