==== The Future of Air Travel is Almost Here! ====
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will enter shutdown phase on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 6, 2026'''</div>
Ronza has finally announced the details of her latest endeavour: '''Rocket Booster Technology'''!
 
  
After nearly a year of research and development, Ronza is now putting the finishing touches on a new technology that will take her and the many airborne hunters of Gnawnia higher than ever before! She began this project after learning of ancient folktales that described a mysterious castle floating at unimaginable altitudes above the Floating Islands: a legendary place called the '''Empyrean Sky Palace'''.
+
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>
  
Determined to verify these tales for herself, she set out to develop the technology necessary to safely ascend to the great heights referenced in the myths. Now she is almost ready to share that technology with the Kingdom so that the bravest, most experienced hunters in Gnawnia can join her in uncovering this age-old mystery.
 
  
In order to properly prepare themselves, hunters must prove their aerial abilities by obtaining the '''High Altitude Flight License''' from the Cartographer in the Floating Islands. Any hunter who earns this prestigious certification will be able to install the new Rocket Booster technology into their dirigible as soon as Ronza unveils it to the world!
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will end completely on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 13, 2026'''</div>
  
<div style="text-align:center; border: 1px solid; border-radius: 5px; padding: 5px; width: 40%; margin: auto">
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
'''''(NEW)'' High Altitude Flight License'''
 
  
<div style="text-align:left">This license permits use of Rocket Booster technology to ascend into extremely high altitude airspace.</div>
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
 +
*Golem Parts
 +
*Animated Snow
 +
*Reinforced Ice Shards
 +
*Compressed Cinnamon
 +
*Hailstones
 +
*Firework Sugar Cookies
 +
*Magical Holiday Scarf

*Golem Gift Box

==== Ronza is on her way! ====
 
Ronza's airship has been spotted en route to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Unfortunately, a brief skirmish with some Sky Pirates caused a gigantic crate of her precious Chrome Bits to fall overboard! Mice all across the Kingdom have been snatching them up so Ronza needs your help to retrieve them.
 
 
Collect as many Chrome Bits as you can by hunting mice anywhere in the Kingdom and when Ronza lands on July 27, she'll show her gratitude by offering a wide selection of valuable rewards!

==== Recover Chrome Bits to Earn Vouchers ====
 
Help Ronza recover her Chrome Bits by hunting throughout Gnawnia. Recover enough and you will be rewarded with Chrome Kit Vouchers! Ronza will award you one voucher for every 100 Chrome Bits you recover, up to a maximum of two vouchers. These vouchers can be used to purchase some of Ronza's famous Chrome Upgrade Kits and apparently, she has added a new one to her collection this year!
 
 
===== <span style="padding-left: 50px">Chrome Kit Voucher</span> =====
 
<div style="padding-left: 50px">These vouchers can be used to purchase Chrome Upgrade Kits from Ronza's Trapsmith or a selection of alternative items from Ronza's General Store. Each Chrome Upgrade Kit requires a single voucher along with a specific quantity of gold whereas the alternative items require only the voucher with no additional gold cost!</div>
 
 
==== Strange Things are Afloat! ====
 
Rumour has it that Ronza has been hard at work on developing a groundbreaking new form of dirigible technology for use in the Floating Islands. Little is known for sure as to the specifics of this enigmatic project of hers but some have speculated that it may involve exploring even higher altitudes and possibly uncovering the truth behind the ancient legend of a mysterious palace above the clouds.
 
 
One thing that is known is that Ronza is offering a new and very unique reward this year for hunters who are able to collect 200 Chrome Bits. The reward is a strange and rather dangerous looking crate that is plastered with warning symbols. The crates are all currently locked so the contents are still a mystery but Ronza has claimed that she will share the secrets contained within as soon as her project is completed. For now, the hunters of Gnawnia will have to just wait and wonder.

This bizarre crate appears quite volatile and is currently locked but Ronza claims that she will reveal the secrets contained inside very soon.
