==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
+
==== Year of the Horse ====
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features some brand new eggs, new rewards, and the return of Lady Laura!
+
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!
  
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
+
Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!
 
 
==== Lady Laura is Back! ====
 
A familiar face has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia to celebrate the coming of spring: Lady Laura, the Chocolatier! But she is no ordinary Chocolatier. Lady Laura is a master of the lost art of CocoAlchemy which gives her the ability to wield the mighty power of the purest chocolate known to science: '''Chocolatonium'''!
 
 
 
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have ambushed her caravan and once again stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the spring event mice that are roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
 
 
 
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
 
 
 
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
 
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
 
 
 
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.
 
 
 
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 
There are '''6 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

<u>'''New Updates'''</u>

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
This year the Eggsweeper will have a new tier with a new egg! The New Tier 5 Egg is for Hunters titled Archduke/Archduchess and above. This egg contains resources from all of the Archduke/Archduchess areas throughout Gnawnia. With the introduction of the Tier 5 egg, we have adjusted the contents of the Tier 3 (Baron/Baroness and Count/Countess) and Tier 4 (Duke/Duchess and Grand Duke/Duchess) eggs by redistributing their loot to the appropriately tiered eggs.

<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Light Candles and soar into prosperity!'''</div></div>

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks.

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life.

As of '''May 2''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

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.
  
As of '''May 9''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
