'''Many exciting new things have arrived in the Folklore Forest!'''
+
'''Celebrate the Year of the Horse and earn DOUBLE or TRIPLE loot!'''
  
Treasure Maps, New Rewards, and lots of quality-of-life improvements!

<blockquote>
==== There is More to the Story ====
 
The story of the Folklore Forest has been edited, updated, and embellished with many exciting new plot points, details, and even a brand new character!
 
  
==== A Foreboding Foreword ====
+
==== Year of the Horse ====
The serene soil of the Foreword Farm has been disrupted by a new and very lucrative type of plant: '''the Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant'''!
+
The Year of the Horse is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at '''fourteen''' locations across Gnawnia!
Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant
 
  
This new plant requires Crop Coins to plant but will yield even more Parable Papyrus when harvested! Open the "Manage Plots" popup in the Foreword Farm to see all the details of this valuable new plant.
+
Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!
 
 
However, farmers should be warned that there is something... not quite right about these new plants. There is a warning in the Gnawnian Farmer's Almanac that planting too many of these in your field may attract a new and very dangerous kind of pest to your farm!
 
 
 
==== A Tale to Tell for Treasure Hunters ====
 
The Cartographers throughout the Folklore Forest now sell two new scroll cases that lead to valuable treasure hidden in this storied region!
 
  
 +
==== How to Celebrate ====
 
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Fishing and Farming Scroll Case''' </div></div>
+
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Stockpile Locations'''</div></div>
This inexpensive scroll case will unveil a treasure map that takes you on a short trip through the Foreword Farm and Prologue Pond and will result in a chest that rewards several useful items including Draft Derby Curds. This map offers a unique opportunity to save an Encyclopedia run should you end up writing longer than you anticipated and have run out of Final Draft Derby cheese. You no longer need to give up on that lucky run, just do one of these maps and you'll be able to pick right up where you left off!
+
Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you directly to a specific location. This year, '''Conclusion Cliffs''' is a new addition to the stockpile locations!
 
 
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Folklore Forest Prelude Scroll Case''' </div></div>
 
This costly but lucrative scroll case will take you and your map-mates on a journey through all three locations in the Folklore Forest including having you face off against the Mythweaver! The treasure chest that you'll find at the end of that journey will contain a variety of very powerful charms including a brand new one!
 
 
 
=== A Powerful New Charm Has Arrived ===
 
The recently improved Ultimate Spore Charms have combined their power with Rainbow Charms to make a brand new charm that is more than the sum of its parts! The new Rainbow Spore Charm can be obtained from Folklore Forest Prelude Treasure Chests and the Unstable Magnum Opus.

The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, where you can work together with friends to track down Lantern Lighter Treasure Chests to earn Dumpling Cheese and Lunar Lantern Candles.
A variety of exciting new changes and improvements have made their way into the Folklore Forest!
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

<div style="font-size: 115%>'''New Look for the Manage Plots Popup''' </div></div>
 
  
The Manage Plots popup in the Foreword Farm has been restyled to add more information while taking up less space and the plant selections have been reordered so that they appear in the same order on both Browser and Mobile.  
+
As of February 24, you will '''no longer be able to collect Dumpling Cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles''' at stockpile locations.
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Brainstorm Chum Can Now be Scattered Without Cheese Armed''' </div></div>
 
Previously Brainstorm Chum could only be scattered if Grubbeen, Clamembert, or Stormy Clamembert Cheese was already armed. Now you can scatter your Brainstorm Chum with any cheese armed or even no cheese at all! The chum still only functions with the above-mentioned cheeses so you will now see a warning on the Heads-Up Display if you arm an incompatible cheese but you now can activate your Chum first and arm your cheese afterwards. Furthermore, if you do activate your Chum with an incompatible cheese such as Gouda or SUPER|brie+ and you accidentally take a hunt, you will '''NOT''' lose any Chum during that hunt and it will automatically deactivate itself afterwards.
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
You will '''no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern Candles''' and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Loot Per Catch on the Pond HUD''' </div></div>
 
An indicator has been added to the Heads-Up Display in the Prologue Pond (on both Browser and Mobile) to show which item is currently being looted based on your cheese and chum state and the quantity range that you can earn per catch!
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Mobile Camp Page Improvements''' </div></div>
 
The Mobile camp page has been made much more informative when hunting in the Foreword Farm and the Prologue Pond. While hunting in the Foreword Farm, the camp page now tells you which plant types are in each plot (via their thumbnail) and how many catches are remaining until your next plant finishes. While hunting in the Prologue Pond, the camp page now tells you whether Brainstorm Chum is currently being scattered (blue is inactive, magenta is scattered) as well as your quantity of Chum and the quantity of the item you're currently looting.
 
  
 +
You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops '''until March 3'''.
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
==== Celebration Supplies ====
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Choose What Happens to your Bait After Publishing''' </div></div>
+
The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!
In the Table of Contents, you can now choose what happens to your bait after publishing a book. You can choose between the default behaviour which is to automatically arm your standard bait of choice or you can choose to have your bait disarm completely. This way you can easily prevent valuable charms from being wasted after an Encyclopedia run ends by simply choosing to have your bait disarm automatically. Whenever you start writing a new book, you'll be presented with this option but you can also change it at any time directly from the Table of Contents Heads-Up Display.
 
  
=== New Treasure Hunting Kit ===
+
All candles are sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace. Grab them now to kick-start your celebration!
With the discovery of the new treasure maps, the King has created a Folklore Forest Treasure Hunting Kit packed with Condensed Creativity, SUPER|brie+, and Rare Map Dust!

Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Horse!

Year of the Horse

The Year of the Horse is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at fourteen locations across Gnawnia!

Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!

How to Celebrate

Stockpile Locations

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you directly to a specific location. This year, Conclusion Cliffs is a new addition to the stockpile locations!

S.S Huntington IV Claw Shot City Gnawnia Rift Fungal Cavern
Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad Foreword Farm
Bountiful Beanstalk Climb Conclusion Cliffs Prewriting
Gather Dumpling Cheese

At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance to drop Dumpling Cheese.

Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice

Gather Lunar Lantern Candles from any event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!

Light Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Horse Lantern claimed, you can begin lighting candles and reaping rewards!


When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find TRIPLE loot!


The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise it by two feet!


Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative, so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!


Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the heads-up display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track including a new trap skin, Year of the Horse Journal Theme, and Red Lunar Lantern Candles.

Exciting Skins!
