==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
+
<blockquote>
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
 
  
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!
+
==== 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!
  
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
+
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, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
 
  
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

<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.
  
'''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.

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 Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
+
<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!
  
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
 
  
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
+
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!
  
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
 
  
You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
+
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!
  
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
+
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!
  
==== 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.
+
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.
  
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
+
==== Exciting Skins! ====
 
+
Riding in with two new trap skins, the Year of the Horse Trap Skin Bundle lights your way with two new trap skins ''and'' 30 Red Lunar Lantern Candles!
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
+
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, some ''lovely'' skins are returning! Check out the Premium Shop to see the entire collection including:
'''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.
+
* Valentine School of Sharks Skin
 +
* Enraged Love Bot Skin
 +
* Valentine's Celestial Dissonance Skin
 +
* Chocolate Covered Reaper Perch Skin
  
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
+
==== Lunar New Year Items ====
 +
The various shops at stockpile locations stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased '''after the Lunar New Year adventure is completed and the adventure reward claimed'''. Keep an eye out for some unique airship parts, trap skins, and more!
  
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!
+
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.

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!
