<p>Various mice at the Festive Comet have been spotted using the scraps of blueprint as nesting material. The prints are somewhat rare at the moment, but researchers are confident that as more of the comet melts, more blueprints will be discovered.</p>

==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====

<blockquote>
 
−
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
−
<p>After a long flight, Ronza has finally landed in Gnawnia just south of the Castle! Onboard her ship is a Trapsmith, General Store, and Cheese Shoppe. All the excitement has lead to absolutely record breaking amounts of travel and hunting in the Kingdom! All the excitement lead to some traffic jams that may have interrupted your hunting. Once the majority of hunters have visited Ronza and made their purchases, the King expects the traffic jams to ease up and the hunt to return to a much more stable state.</p>
+
==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
 +
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.

<p>'''Trapsmith:'''</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!
  
−
<p>Ronza's Trapsmith has three weapons and one base for sale. For most hunters, there should be at least one item of interest in stock. The costs range from 158,500 gold to 860,000 gold and point requirements range from 9,100 to 843,500.</p>

<p>Novices, Apprentices, Journeymen and Masters seeking a high-luck physical trap will no doubt be interested in the HitGrab Rockin' Horse. If you're ready to rock (and roll) while you hunt for mice, this Horse will be a good companion to bring luck your way.</p>
+
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
  
−
<p>Masters and Grandmasters looking for a high-luck tactical trap to aid their hunting efforts in Furoma or the Gnarled Tree will be interested an extremely loud new trap. After each horn call, the Giant Speaker trap is sure to leave your ears ringing!</p>
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!
  
−
<p>Legendary, Hero and above MouseHunters looking for a lucky hydro trap to use in Rodentia or the shores of Elub will want to consider the Kraken Chaos trap. See if eight arms and two tentacles can aid your hunting!</p>
+
Double loot drops of a wide variety of festive-themed items at the Taiga!</div>
  
−
<p>While passing over Dracano, Ronza noticed the molten rock found at the base of the mighty Volcano. Risking life and limb, she dodged Dragon mice to create the Magma Base! Its high temperature gives it an impressive 10 luck, but beware its Insanely Stale cheese effect when using expensive bait. Any failures to attract will most certainly result in your cheese melting into a stale mess.</p>
+
You can obtain Festive Spirit by hunting with standard cheese, completing Naughty Maps, opening doors on your Advent Calendar, and by purchasing it from the Premium Shop.

<p>Ronza frequently uses her HitGrab Horsey trap to keep the mouse population on board her ship under control. With all the rock n' roll gear she’s carrying, she wanted a way to crank the star power of her horsey up to eleven. Now her horsey steals the show with a giant rainbow mohawk! If you are an owner of an original HitGrab Horsey trap, than for the low-low cost of 60,000 gold you can purchase the Rainbow Mohawk Wig of Awesomeness! This wig is sure to give new life to your old hobby horse and get it ready for the hunting spotlight. Some assembly required.</p>

<p>'''Cheese Shoppe:'''</p>
 
  
−
<p>Not to be outdone by mohawks and giant speakers, the forger of fromage onboard Ronza's Ship created Rockforth cheese, a flavor oozing rock n' roll attitude. A few stray mice nibbled the Rockforth and were instantly transformed into Rockstar mice!</p>
+

−
<p>The Rockstars kept Ronza's crew up late with loud concerts and partying. The crew became so tired that at first, they did not notice the Rockstars rushing off the ship the moment it landed, to start their epic rock tour. See if you can collect some Rockforth by hunting onboard Ronza's ship. Once you have some, it’s time to party with the Rockstars! The sound of guitars and singing has been heard in more than one area, including the Town of Gnawnia, Town of Digby and even the S.S. Huntington II!</p>
+
'''Golem Parts'''
  
−
<p>Ronza was particularly annoyed that the Rockstars stole some supply satchels that she had planned to sell to MouseHunters. The Satchels come in three colours: Red, Blue and Green and their contents range widely. If you catch a Rockstar, Ronza encourages you to open your satchels for a small bonus reward, a few extra pieces of cheese as thanks for taming the destructive Rockstars.</p>
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''
  
−
<p>'''The King's Order of Supplies:'''</p>
+
'''Magical Holiday Scarf'''
  
−
<p>MouseHunters are not the only ones making purchases from Ronza. The King ordered a rather large amount of building supplies. These supplies are quite heavy and cumbersome and will be sure to take at least two weeks to unload. Ronza plans to keep her shops open the entire time, giving everyone at least two weeks to hunt onboard her ship and purchase her wares. From her personal experience, Ronza knows Rockstars are harder to hunt down than most mice and fears that the Kingdom will still be hunting Rockstars for a short time after her departure.</p>
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>

==== New Festive Rewards ====

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.

<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>

<p>You may have noticed the footnote at the bottom of the [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/updatepost.php?upid=148 previous news update] regarding Dracano asking for your input and suggestions. I wanted to make a post to help focus the feedback and organize the thoughts of everyone.</p>
+
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>
  
−
<p>There is definitely some frustration in having to possibly catch multiple Acolyte mice to tackle Dracano. We're looking for your opinion on how you think it would be best to obtain a Frozen Scroll.</p>
 
  
−
<p>Here are a couple of popular suggestions that are feasible, let us know what you think.</p>
+
<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>
  
−
:<p>Remove the Frozen Scroll from the Mysterious Box and have the Acolyte drop both a Frozen Scroll and a Mysterious Box. Hand out Frozen Scrolls to anyone who had previously caught an Acolyte and did not get a Frozen Scroll.</p>
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
−
:<p>Make available another, slightly less powerful Draconic trap that can be obtained in a more straight-forward manner.</p>
+
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
  
−
<p>These changes may also require some adjustment to the quantities of items in the Mysterious Box as well as the difficulty of catching the Dragon.</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 13!'''</div></div>
  
−
<p>New gameplay elements are currently developed and decided upon by surveying groups of players and then putting those changes into play testing with a group of beta testers. In the coming weeks we are going to be increasing this survey pool to include a broader range of active, passive, experienced and less experienced players in hopes of obtaining a wider range of feedback. The end goal is to include as many players as we can in an organized way.</p>

<p>MouseHunt has always relied on the feedback of players to fine-tune game aspects and develop ideas for new content. We're looking for your constructive suggestions on how to keep MouseHunt both challenging and fun!</p>
