The '''Polar Base''' is a [[base]] that has seen several appearances during events. Its stats are a mixture of the [[Dehydration Base]] and the [[Stone Base]]. It completely outclasses the Stone Base, but it does not have the [[attraction bonus]] that the Dehydration Base has. Also, when used with any [[weapon]] stronger than, or equal to, the [[Venus Mouse Trap]], it has equal or greater power compared to a trap setup that uses the [[Explosive Base]].

This base is made from magical glacial ice that seems to absorb and freeze the humidity in the air, mysteriously retaining its shape. This physics-defying ice is imported by Ronza the merchant, perhaps making it the most expensive cube of water you'll ever own!



Obtained Via

The Polar Base was available for purchase for 59,550 gold from Ronza's Traveling Shoppe during her New Year's Giveaway and MouseHunt's Birthday Giveaway visits. It refunded for 10,719 gold at the same location.

It was also available as one of the many Gifts dropped by the Elf Mouse and the Abominable Snow Mouse mice during the Great Winter Hunt in 2008, and as one of the three gifts inside the Fancy Birthday Gifts dropped by the Birthday Mouse during MouseHunt's 1st Birthday.

  • 19 October 2009: The Polar Base became the first limited edition base released in the game when it was given the limited edition seal on. Additionally, the meltwater around the Polar Base was removed, giving it the similar crisp look of the other bases.
  • The Polar Base reverted back to the original image, showing the meltwater, during the rollout of MouseHunt v.3.
