====A Terror at the Center of the Pumpkin Patch====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
−
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and everything is getting spookier! This can only mean one thing: Halloween is here, and the Haunted Terrortories are back!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
This year, a terrifying new mouse has charged out of the Corn Maze, torn through the Haunted Manor, and made her home in the middle of the Pumpkin Patch. You'll have to carefully retrace her path in order to challenge her and take her most prized possession!
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
====Gathering Spooky Supplies====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
−
To chase down this maniacal mouse, you're going to need both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese. Your friends can help you! Simply visit the profile of up to 10 of your friends, "Trick-or-Treat" while you're there, and get some free cheese. Make sure to [[Profile|visit your own profile]] and choose what type of cheese you're handing out!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
Still doesn't feel like you have enough cheese? Just hunt using Swiss, Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ at the Haunted Terrortories to attract Hollowhead mice, which are known to drop both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese.
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
  
−
====Tricking and Treating====
+
----
−
Got your cheese? Good! Arm it and start capturing mice at the Haunted Terrortories. When you catch a mouse with Candy Corn, you'll treat that mouse, and when you catch a mouse with Ghoulgonzola, you'll trick them! Trick and treat enough mice and you can progress through the Terrortories. Move through the Corn Maze, the Haunted Manor, and the Pumpkin Patch, then catch both the Trick Mouse and Treat Mouse, and you'll have a shot at catching the new menace of the Haunted Terrortories!
 
  
−
====A Very Charming Celebration====
+
</blockquote> -->
−
Looking for more of a challenge? Arm Spooky Charms and you'll start attracting more difficult mice that will require more powerful types of traps. Want an '''even harder''' challenge? Try arming Extra Spooky Charms! You'll need to be a Count/Countess to arm these charms, and you'll want a powerful Rift trap to catch the mice you attract! You can purchase both of these charms from the Charm Shoppe for a combination of Halloween Cheese and gold.

=== [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=980 The Great Winter Hunt Returns!] ===
 +
''{{date|9|December|2025}}''
  
−
Two new challenges this year have been added for hunters of all ranks! If you encounter the Candy Cat Mouse while hunting, he'll drop a Candy Charm. Equip it to entice all mice to drop an extra Halloween Candy, and add a chance to catch the candy-laden Candy Goblin Mouse! Also, keep an eye out for the Tricky Witch! She'll drop a Shortcut Charm, which will give you a chance to zip ahead on your current track in the Terrortories. But watch out! There's also a small chance you'll fall back, too!
+
'''Start sending golems to collect loot'''

====Halloween Treasure Maps and Crystal Library Assignments====
+
Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again
−

−
The goal is to match pairs of cards with spooky Halloween treats on them. When you do, you get to keep the rewards and try another match! When you miss, a Spooky Shuffle Ticket is consumed. Clear the full board for an extra special reward, and to reset it and start over again!
+
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.

=== Another Perilous Rift Opens! ===
+
'''Golem Parts'''
−
''{{date|9|September|2014}}''
 
−
<blockquote>
 
  
−
A second rift has opened, and this time it menaces hunters in the Burroughs region!
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''
  
−
====The Burroughs Rift Opens====
+
'''Magical Holiday Scarf'''
−
The connection between our realm and the realm of the rift is strengthening — sufficiently so that a new rift has formed in the upper floors of the Laboratory. Mice of immense strength and eerie familiarity have come pouring forth amidst tendrils of mysterious mist, and the help of the strongest hunters in the land is needed to defeat them!
 
  
−
Hunters of Duke/Duchess and above should answer the call, but be ready! These mice are some of the strongest ever encountered and will test your setup and your patience!
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
  
−
====Be Prepared!====
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
−
The mice you'll encounter in this rift are some of the most powerful ever seen and will require dedication and preparation to capture reliably. Before you head in, ask yourself:
+
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.
  
−
* Do you have an appropriate trap? A Rift Power type trap?
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
−
* Do you have a powerful base? With the Rift Base, you can activate two-thirds of the Riftwalker Set bonus, which you'll definitely want to have!
+
|-
−
* Do you have some powerful charms? The store here can help you out, and you'll need all the help you can get!
+
| style="width: 50%; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em" |
−
* What about String cheese? Are you fully stocked up?
+
'''''(NEW)''  Storm Condenser Base'''
  
−
If you find yourself lacking any of these qualities, fix it quickly or these mice will tear your trap apart! If you think you're ready, however, read on...
+
<div style="text-align: centre; padding-left: 0.416em">'''Limited Edition'''</div>
 +
<div style="text-align: left; padding-left: 0.416em">While armed at Moussu Picchu, prevents the weather from intensifying!</div>
  
−
====Venture Deep Into The Mist, But Not Too Deep!====
+
'''Claimed from the Reward Track'''
−
A strange mist curls around the edges of this rift, and mouse-shaped shadows dance just out of sight. Clearly, the mist is the key to sorting out these new mice.
 
  
−
While you hunt with string cheese, you'll attract more powerful versions of Laboratory mice that drop Mist Canisters which are filled with a strange gas the mice clearly desire. Once you collect enough of them, you can start releasing them into the air and start attracting more powerful ('''and profitable''') mice!
+
| style="width: 50%; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em" |
 +
'''''(NEW)'' Steam AugerBot 3000'''
  
−
Every hunt you take while misting will release one mist into the air, to a maximum of twenty. Every hunt you take while '''not''' misting, will reduce the mist by one. There's an optimal level of mist you'll want to keep in the air, of course. Too little, and you'll only attract the weaker mice. Too much, and you'll attract huge bruisers that will ruin your day! Just enough, and you'll attract mice that reward you with gold and loot in excellent quantities.
+

====New Types Of Mice====
+
<div style="text-align: left; padding-left: 0.416em">A new journal theme to keep keep your Hunter's Journal cozy and warm!</div>
−
The moment you're in the mist, you'll notice new mice are attracted to your trap, spooky monsters reminiscent of the mice of the Mousoleum. These mice are harder and are worth more gold, but more importantly, they drop potions, which allow you to create Terre Ricotta cheese.
 
  
−
Stock up enough potions and craft this cheese, then equip it to attract Digby-esqe terrors that are worth scads of points and gold. These mice also drop potions, but these potions are used to craft the rare and dangerous Polluted Parmesan!
+
'''Adventure Reward'''
  
−
Polluted Parmesan is special. You know it, Larry knows it, and the toxic mice of the Rift know it. Specifically... The Menace of the Rift Mouse knows it. He '''craves''' it. But you'll have to brave the very highest levels of mist in order to attract him, and you'll have to battle past the bullies that hang around with him in order to catch him in order to capture the treasure he holds dear.

−
====New Charms With Fantastic Power====
+
<div style="text-align: centre; padding-left: 0.416em">'''Winter Aura Reward'''</div>
−
Your reward for capturing the Menace Of The Rift Mouse is his powerful Null Gauntlet — a protective device that allows you to safely handle the awesome powers of the Rift, and equip the Rift Vacuum Charms that are available for sale in the Charm Shoppe.
+
<div style="text-align: left; padding-left: 0.416em">Hunters ranked Viceroy and up will occasionally receive a Golden Winter Hunt Gift Box from their Winter Aura instead of the regular Orange Gift Box!</div>
  
−
These charms will become exceptionally important to you in your hunting career. As a Rift Charm, they allow you to complete your Riftwalker Set for the full bonus, getting a whopping +5 Luck. More importantly, they'll allow you to collect Calcified Rift Mist upon catching a rift mouse, which you'll need to craft all further Rift Charms.
+
'''Viceroy+ Loot Drop'''
 +

−
In fact, the Charm Shoppe currently sells an Erupting Rift Core that you can combine with the Calcified Rift Mist to create a Rift Power Charm that grants an astounding 500 Power and 5% Power Bonus!
+
<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold">New Festive Trap Skins in the Premium Shop</div>
  
−
====Use Your New Power Wisely====
+
The Premium Shop is stocked with four new festive trap skins! Visit the Premium Shop to see the new skins as well as a convenient bundle that includes all of them along with some bonus items.
−
You'll need that Power Bonus, because your final goal in this rift is a doozie! Remember the bruisers you avoided before? Now you need to hunt them down! Every mouse exclusive to the dangerous levels of mist drops a piece of Rift Circuitry when captured, which you can combine with a smashed Crystal Tower trap to create one of two new Rift Power traps!
 
  
−
'''[[Multi-Crystal Laser]]''': With 100 more Power than the Crystal Tower and 3 Luck, this trap is great for hunting the majority of rift mice. The Luck provided makes all the difference against lower-power mice, making this trap your first choice for general rift hunting.

In and amongst all the high-level Noble challenges that have presented themselves this year, it appears that a smaller threat has surfaced in one of the relatively safer hunting areas in the Kingdom. Although veteran hunters can easily dispatch this mouse, the King nevertheless takes any mouse threat seriously and is calling upon all hunters to track down this new breed! For newer hunters, this mouse presents the perfect opportunity to learn new hunting techniques while on their path to becoming a seasoned veteran.

Unfortunately, a critical ingredient in the bread for the Grilled Cheese is flour which is quite difficult to obtain without a properly functioning Windmill. You'll need to recover Packets of Flour from the mice at the Windmill and exchange it at the Cheese Shoppe for pieces of Grilled Cheese. Capturing several mice each hour helps the Windmill operate more efficiently, increasing its flour production, and increasing the quantity and frequency of Packets of Flour loot drops!

If you leave the Windmill for too long, it will begin to slow down! Keep hunting until the breaded tyrant is caught to restore the Windmill to its former glory. Once you've captured the Captain Croissant Mouse, the Windmill will be able to operate at full efficiency, making flour easier to obtain.

On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the Great Winter Hunt event will enter its shutdown phase. At this time, Pecan Pecorino and Golem Parts will no longer be found as loot drops. Forges will still work at the Golem Workshop and Cannons can still be fired at the Ice Fortress but Compressed Cinnamon will no longer drop in Cinnamon Hill.</div>

Once you have your hands some ooey gooey Grilled Cheese, arm your trap with it to attract the Captain Croissant Mouse! Once captured, the Windmill will be back under the King's control!

With the discovery of a new Indigenous breed of mouse, newly opened Treasure Map Scroll Cases may occasionally challenge a hunter to track down a Captain Croissant Mouse. If you're looking to hunt down a Captain Croissant while treasure hunting, keep an eye out for an Easy or Medium difficulty map which have a small chance to show the Captain Croissant Mouse. As always, Rare Map Dust will increase the rewards earned for completing a map!

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.
