Thousands of MouseHunters came together and pooled their collective problem-solving skills to answer all six riddles after only six rigorous hours!

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Gather Dumpling Cheese'''</div></div>
 +
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.
  
Unfortunately, even though they were able to catch one iteration of the Mythweaver, he had already managed to write his concept into the next phase of his dastardly plan!
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice'''</div></div>
 +
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'''!
  
==== The Plot Thickens ====
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
From his extensive research while studying at the Crystal Library long ago, the Mythweaver learned of an alternate, albeit more difficult, way to alter the history and culture of this world: the long lost Folklore Tales.
+
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Light Candles and soar into prosperity!'''</div></div>
 +
With the Horse Lantern claimed, you can begin lighting candles and reaping rewards!
  
After his initial plan to rewrite the Book of Lore failed, he decided to move on to his backup plan which was to obtain one of these lost books and write himself into it so that he could change its outcome from the inside!
 
  
==== A Precarious Agreement ====
+
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!
Most scholars believed that these fabled tomes had vanished from this plane of existence long ago. But the Mythweaver is nothing if not resourceful, so he made the pilgrimage to the Acolyte Realm to convene with an entity that was also not of this plane of existence.
 
  
After striking a deal, the details of which are unknown, this entity was able to manifest a copy of one of the lost Folklore Tales for the Mythweaver. The book was a very old and very important story in Gnawnian culture: the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk.
 
  
==== A Narrow Escape ====
+
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!
Sensing that the MouseHunters were closing in on him, the Mythweaver quickly wrote his concept directly into the book so that even though his physical form was captured, it was already too late!
 
  
Now he is roaming free inside the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk where he is safe from any MouseHunters and undoubtedly wreaking untold havoc!
 
  
==== Hope on the Horizon ====
+
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!
Despite not stopping the Mythweaver in time, hunters were successful in retrieving the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk which is currently being studied by the King's top scholars.
 
  
The scholars are confident that very soon they will have learned the ability to write the concept of a MouseHunter directly into the story just as the Mythweaver did.
 
  
Once this amazing feat has been accomplished, the MouseHunters of Gnawnia who have reached the rank of '''Viceroy or above''' will be able to travel into this story and put a stop to the Mythweaver in whatever new form that he has written for himself!
+
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.

+
You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops '''until March 3'''.
