==== A Mountainous Welcome to new Hunters Awaits! ====
 
−
After working on improving his training methods and techniques in the Town of Gnawnia and Windmill, Larry has set his sights to the craggy peaks of the Mountains. For years he's helped new hunters become familiar with the mysterious charms that are littered within the snowy crags and the powers they hold. In doing so, he has figured out how to refine and refocus his methods so hunters can receive the best training they possibly can.
 
−
 
 
−
Striking a deal with Moustachio, Larry has convinced the researcher to offer the Charm Conduit at no cost. That's right, the Charm Conduit is now free and no longer requires any gold from the Hunter. In addition, the Mountain Charm Shoppe has seen changes in its inventory and pricing. Now the shoppe only offers Charmbits, Power Charms, and Prospector Charms, with both Power and Prospector Charms being sold at a lower price.
 
−
 
 
−
Makes one wonder what Larry offered in exchange for such a generous reduction. Perhaps it was a lifetime supply of moustache wax!
 
−
 
 
−
==== The Mountain: Reshaped and Refined ====
 
−
Years and years of bombardment from the power of the charms used here have sculpted a much more refined Mountain than what may be familiar to veteran hunters. After constant rattling and explosions, it seems a deeper layer of power charms has been revealed. Most mice will now be carrying Power Charms and even Super Power Charms instead of Small Power Charms so hunters will be able to blast through Chedd-Ore faster than before.
 
−
 
 
−
Speaking of which, it seems as though it's not just Power Charms that have been rattled from deep within. The delicious Chedd-ore boulders have been seen in more abundance, allowing hunters to continue to mine them regardless of what cheese they have equipped. You can now mine Chedd-ore even while using Chedd-ore or Abominable Asiago!
 
−
 
 
−
Lastly, it seems as though the disruption has caused the mouse population itself to shift and adapt to the new environment. Mouse encounter pools have been split into different standard cheese types, so check your trap effectiveness to see if your cheese will attract the mice you're after. You may even encounter a familiar face, '''The Flying Mouse''', here in the Mountains. On top of that, mice strengths and their gold rewards have been adjusted. So, not only are mice a bit easier to catch, they're also more rewarding!

==== Relic Hunter Season 9 has begun! ====
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
The new Relic Hunter season brings with it exciting updates to Community Maps, important mobile interface improvements, changes to Elite and Slayer maps, and unique seasonal rewards.
+
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.
  
−
So gather your relics, assemble your treasure hunting team, and prepare for adventure!
+
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.
  
−
==== Community Map Listing Updates ====
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"

You can now search, filter, and sort treasure maps by their name, number of mice caught, and number of hunters on the map on both the browser and mobile app.

===== Mobile Improvements =====
+
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.
−
We've made even more mobile interface improvements from last year that will make mapping on mobile even smoother, more feature-rich, and more consistent with the browser experience.

The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

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.
