| − | ===Great Winter Hunt Ends Soon===
| |
| − | ''{{date|4|January|2011}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>'''The Great Winter Hunt Ends Soon!'''<br />
| |
| − | The Festive Comet will be gone on Thursday, January 6th</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The Great Winter Hunt Is Coming to an End====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>The Festive Comet is quickly melting. Digby Scientists have estimated the comet will be entirely melted sometime on Thursday, January 6th. Have questions about what will happen with items, loot, etc? Then, you're in the right place!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The Explosive Toboggan Ride Trap====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>When the Festive Comet is gone, the Trapsmith there will disappear too! If you have the items required to purchase the Explosive Toboggan Ride from the Trapsmith at the Festive Comet, make sure to claim your trap before the end of the Great Winter Hunt. Once the Trapsmith is gone, you will no longer be able to aquire the Explosive Toboggan Ride.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The Double Diamond Adventure Trap====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Once the Festive Comet is gone, you will no longer be able to hunt for the loot items required to build the Double Diamond Adventure Trap. If you have all the required items, but cannot yet craft the trap due to a lack of crafting slots or points, you will be able to craft the trap at anytime in the future so long as you have the required parts.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Seasoned Gouda====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Seasoned Gouda is perfectly spiced to attract strong mice within the chilly climate of the Festive Comet. Take caution not to imbue more Seasoned Gouda than you need and make sure you use up your remaining Seasoned Gouda while the Festive Comet is still in Gnawnia. Once the comet has melted away, you'll need to save any left over Seasoned Gouda for the next Great Winter Hunt.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Frozen Fromage====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>If you have any Frozen Fromage in your inventory, now is the time to thaw it and use the Nutmeg Cheese. Squeaker Claws will be gone until next year and no other mice will be attracted to Nutmeg Cheese. Frozen Fromage will not have a use after the end of the Great Winter Hunt, so make sure you thaw any you have left and use up the Nutmeg Cheese.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Festive Trap Skins====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Festive Trap skins (Icy RhinoBot and Clockapult of Winter Past) will soon be gone until next year. The skins will still be tradable on the marketplace.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====What Happens If I Remain in the Festive Comet?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>On Thursday, January 6th, the Festive Comet location will change to a vacant lot with only a few common mice to hunt. You'll be able to travel away at anytime via the travel page. At some point, the King will move all hunters remaining in the vacant lot to the Meadow.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>The Great Winter Hunt ends '''January 6th, 2011'''<br />
| |
| − | Make sure to head to the Festive Comet and sound your horn!<br />
| |
| − | Happy Holiday Hunting!</p>

| |
| − | <p>The New Years Mouse is busy setting up fireworks displays and hoarding bottles of the [[King's Reserve Bubbleh]], but if you're lucky you might catch one in between their celebration setup duties.

| + | After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here. |
| | | | |
| − | <!--
| + | She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years. |

| | + | '''New Relic Hunter Treasure Chest Rewards''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>There was great celebration and jubilee from veterans and novices alike as an unprecedented number of hunters gathered together to witness the Great Winter Star Ceremony near the Festive Comet. Throngs of happy hunters surrounded the massive Holiday Tree, ringed with glittering lights and tinsel. Under the broad evergreen branches sat a mountain of sightly gifts brought by the King to show his appreciation for the hard work of the hunters.</p>
| + | The Limited Edition rewards of the final Relic Hunter season are gone but a new reward can now be found inside Relic Hunter Treasure Chests: '''Gilded Coins'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>But just as the Winter Star was being raised, a booming of steel drums drowned out the cheers! Our veteran hunter's supply of spoiled eggnog from last year's Winter Hunt burst open, disgorging an indescribable odor and a cloud of choking nog-smoke! Those stalwart hunters who held their breath witnessed a league of mice rush to the tree, stripping it bare of lights, pillaging the King's special gifts, and even claiming the Winter Star itself!</p> | + | <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| | + | '''New Ways to Spend Gilded Coins''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>It seems the mice may well have stolen away both festive cheer and cheese, but all hope is not lost! A few of our bravest hunters were so formidable they managed to tough out the eggnog stench, capturing as many mice as they could manage. Bribing these captured mice with delicious Gingerbread Cheese, they learnt that there are 12 mouse types working for 1 mysterious boss! All we know of this festi-villain is that he leaves eggnoggey footprints in the snow...</p>
| + | Take these Gilded Coins to the King's Arms where you can use them to purchase '''Gilded Trap Skins''', '''Gilded Charms''', or even '''Slayer Scroll Cases'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>They have also learnt that the mice have a schedule for their devious plot, and the bosses will only reveal themselves if the minions fail. The King, working together with the hunters, has released a Royal Calender to coordinate our efforts.</p>
| + | ==== Reap the Rewards ==== |
| | + | The King's own artisans have released a new assortment of Gilded Trap Skins! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>'''Now it is up to you, brave hunter, to enter the Great Festive Hunt of 2010, capture the 12 mice of winter, defeat their noggy master and restore our holiday!'''</p>
| + | These breathtakingly beautiful new trap skins can be purchased from the King's Arms using Gilded Coins or from the Premium Shop. |

Mice, once released, will stay in the area as long as the Winter Hunt is active. As you catch these mice, lights in your holiday strand will turn on as you recover the spirit of the Winter Hunt.
