==== Year of the Tiger ====
+
'''Eggsperience The Thrill of Egg Hunting!'''<br>
The Year of the Tiger is upon us and it's time to kick off the new year with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with the lunar event mice at twelve locations across Gnawnia!
+
Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, Galore!
  
Claim the Tiger Lantern, collect and light Lunar Lantern Candles, and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot anywhere''' in the Kingdom!
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Lady Laura is back to grace the Kingdom with her culinary concoction Chocolatonium, the purest form of chocolate. Endulge in Eggstra Fondue, find eggs old & new. There is an abundance of things to find in the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
==== How to Celebrate ====
+
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment: the Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display to start your eggsceptional season!
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Stockpile Locations'''<br></div></div>
 
  
Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately.
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
  
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"
+
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!

Upon arrival at a stockpile location you can claim the Tiger Lunar Lantern '''immediately''' via the event Heads-Up Display!
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
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.
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Gather Dumpling Cheese'''<br></div></div>
 
At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by just hunting the regular mice in the area with standard cheese.
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Returning Decadent Delight! ====  
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice'''<br></div></div>
+
Eggstra Fondue returns! Activated through the event interface, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium, doubles any eggs dropped, and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
Gone are the days where you needed to catch these critters in a specific order! Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with the premium Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted '''Red Lunar Lantern Candles'''.
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
'''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.
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!'''<br></div></div>
 
Now it's time for the fun part! With the Tiger Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping their rewards!
 
  
When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find '''DOUBLE''' loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! And if you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles then you'll find '''TRIPLE''' loot!
+
==== New Eggs, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are 11 new eggs for you to find located in the Folklore Forest! Can you collect them all for their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out! You can also view all the eggs in the Area Eggs tab within the Eggscavator interface.
  
The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!
+
Here's a preview of some new eggs you can find:
 +
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em; margin-top: -1em;"

==== Lunar New Year Items ====
+
As you unlock more shelves at Lady Laura's Shop you'll gain access to more difficult Egg Hunt Scroll Cases requiring increasingly higher title requirements.
The various shops at stockpile locations now stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased with Lunar Candles! Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts and trap skins!

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
  
==== Valentine's Matchmaker ====

'''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.
Love is in the air! From February 10 to 15 you will occasionally encounter some lovestruck mice during your hunts. These special Valentine's mice will occasionally appear as a bonus hunt after a successful catch and will not consume any cheese or charms! They do however drop some lovely Valentine's loot!
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

A new Tier 6 Eggsweeper egg has been introduced which contains loot for Viceroy and up hunters!
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''The Valentine's Matchmaker Mini-Event will run from February 10 to 15'''<br></div></div>

Interested in lower tiers of loot? Your Hunter's Hammer can be used to carefully chip a layer off an egg to downgrade it a tier. Just remember to swing extra carefully!
The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!
 
  
New for this year, the King has decreed that all candles will now be sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace to promote the festive spirit of sharing prosperity!
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

The Spring Egg Hunt Has Begun!

1 April 2025

Eggsperience The Thrill of Egg Hunting!
Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, Galore!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Lady Laura is back to grace the Kingdom with her culinary concoction Chocolatonium, the purest form of chocolate. Endulge in Eggstra Fondue, find eggs old & new. There is an abundance of things to find in the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment: the Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display to start your eggsceptional season!

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

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!


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.

Eggstra Fondue: A Returning Decadent Delight!

Eggstra Fondue returns! Activated through the event interface, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium, doubles any eggs dropped, and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

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.

New Eggs, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs for you to find located in the Folklore Forest! Can you collect them all for their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out! You can also view all the eggs in the Area Eggs tab within the Eggscavator interface.

Here's a preview of some new eggs you can find:

M1000 Egg Mythical Master
Sorcerer Egg
Mythical Dragon
Emperor Egg

Something New: Scavenger-Style Egg Hunts!

This year Lady Laura is selling four new Scroll Cases that when opened will begin a Scavenger Hunt style hunt for specific eggs! You and up to five other hunters can embark on these special egg hunts to find Treasure Chests loaded with eggciting loot! Find Eggsweeper Shovels, Magical Eggsweeper Fertilizer, Eggstra Fondue, and all kinds of resources and loot to help your hunting endeavours!

Over Easy contains 15
eggs from Novice to
Knight locations
Over Medium contains
20 eggs from
Lord/Lady to
Count/Countess
locations
Over Hard contains 25
eggs from
Duke/Duchess to
Archduke/Archduchess
locations
Eggstreme contains 40
eggs from Grand Duke
and up locations!

As you unlock more shelves at Lady Laura's Shop you'll gain access to more difficult Egg Hunt Scroll Cases requiring increasingly higher title requirements.

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

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.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks. This year, the Tier 5 Eggsweeper egg has been updated to only contain loot for Archduke/ Archduchess hunter ranks. A new Tier 6 Eggsweeper egg has been introduced which contains loot for Viceroy and up hunters!

Interested in lower tiers of loot? Your Hunter's Hammer can be used to carefully chip a layer off an egg to downgrade it a tier. Just remember to swing extra carefully!

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 29, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
