<blockquote>

Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Horse!
 
 
 
 
==== Love is in the Air! ====
 
All throughout Gnawnia, hunters and mice alike are cozying up to one another and even Larry has been seen carving a heart into the Great Gnarled Tree.
 
 
 
The outburst of affection has caused some mice to pair off, possibly explaining the near endless population of mice. During this outburst of affection, you may find yourself catching two mice at the same time!
 
 
 
While hunting anywhere in the Kingdom, you can encounter a mouse that has paired off with a Valentine's Event Mouse. Should this occur, you'll capture '''both mice with a single piece of cheese!''' Keep an eye on your Hunter's Journal for an especially lovely looking entry when this occurs.
 
 
 
==== Lovely Loot Opportunities ====
 
 
 
When capturing a Valentine's Event Mouse that has paired off with another, you'll find a variety of attractive loot items including Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, Ultimate Luck Charms, collectibles, and more!
 
 
 
==== Attractive Treasure Maps ====
 
 
 
Visit any Cartographer throughout the Kingdom to pick up a Valentine's Matchmaker Scroll Case to search out treasure hidden by the Valentine's event mice!
 
 
 
Completing the map will reveal the location of a Valentine's Matchmaker Treasure Chest containing Points, Gold, Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, and Ancient Charms. With some luck you may also find one of eight unique tradable trap skins!
 
 
 
With Valentine's mice encountered '''anywhere''' in the Kingdom, these maps are a great opportunity to work with fellow hunters of any rank!
 
 
 
==== Sweet Gift Boxes and More ====
 
The King has put together a few appropriate gifts to show affection to friendly hunters, or a sweet treat for yourself!
 
 
 
*'''15 Valentine Charms'''
 
:Valentines Charms!
 
 
 
*'''50 Lucky Valentine Charms'''
 
:Luck AND Attraction!
 
 
 
*'''Be Mine Bouquet'''
 
:Stocked with Lucky Valentine

==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====

==== Year of the Horse ====
The travelling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon! Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to browse her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
+
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!
 
 
While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.
 
 
 
==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
 
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (she won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself). The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose '''double''' the kegs when mice drop them!

These Kegs of Queso can be collected '''anywhere in the region''', including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.
