If you have a [[Soulstone]] and have not yet purchased a [[Soul Catcher]] Trap, make sure to do so before the [[Trapsmith]] closes. Note that you do not need any additional supplies from the Halloween shoppes to upgrade the Soul Catcher into the [[Soul Harvester]] Trap. The materials required to perform the upgrade can be found as loot and purchased from the various [[General Stores]] located across the Kingdom. This means you can upgrade your trap at anytime, assuming you have discovered the [[location]] of the required General Stores.

Still have some Spooky Charms left? There have been some reports of a mysterious fog rolling through the Vacant Lot. Larry's early hunting has revealed that arming [[Spooky Charm]]s brings the fog closer to a hunter's trap where a few spooky breeds of mice can then be encountered, even when using [[Cheese#Cheese_.28Standard.29|standard bait]]. As a reminder: Spooky Charms also carry a [[power bonus]] in all other areas of the Kingdom.

Additionally, you can exchange extra [[Ghoulgonzola]] and [[Candy Corn]] Cheese at the [[Charm Shoppe]] within the Vacant Lot to aquire more Spooky Charms.

====Mischievous Pranksters Hidden in the Haunted Terrortories====
 
  
−
<p>Reports are flooding in from hunters at the [[Haunted Terrortories]] describing some existing breeds of mice that have taken a liking to playing tricks on hunters! Unfortunately the mice are keeping the identities of the pranksters a closely-guarded secret. Searching for the pranksters will no doubt be a challenge that will push your Halloween hunting skills to their maximum! To help you cover more ground and get to the bottom of this mystery quicker, the [[King]] and [[Larry]] have recommended that hunters team up!</p>
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
 +
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
  
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

<p>To begin the search for pranksters, you'll first need to form a team. You can captain your own and invite friends to join, or ask a friend to invite you to theirs.</p>

−

<p>It appears as though hunters are not the only ones interested in [[Hunter%27s_Profile#Trick-or-Treating|Trick-or-Treating]] this year!

<p>In their efforts to find a more secure place to make a home, these Cobweb Mice have spun webs on the [[Hunter's Profile|profiles of hunters]] who have not picked up their hunter's horn in a long time.
