== Description and Requirements ==

== Overview ==

'''King's Gauntlet''' is a location in the [[Valour]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Initiate]] and the [[King's Gauntlet Floorplan]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points or gold (but not multiple pieces of cheese) if not captured.
+
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a hunting location in [[Valour]] region.<br>
 +
It requires the minimum [[rank]] of [[Hero]] and the [[King's Gauntlet Floorplan]] to access.
  
−
The Gauntlet consists of eight tiers (also referred to as "floors" or "levels"). At each tier, hunters collect potions that imbue cheese capable of attracting mice on the next tier. Hunters need not actually travel between floors, but simply equip the cheese for for the tier they wish to hunt on.
+
[[#Mice|Mice]] here can be divided into 8 sub-groups, or '''tiers''', each requires a specific type of Gauntlet [[cheese]] and drops the [[Potion]] to brew the next tier cheese.

These are the shops that can be found in the King's Gauntlet:

−
In the King's Gauntlet, the main objective is to reach Tier 8 and catch the [[Eclipse Mouse]].
 
  
−
In order to do so, hunters have to acquire potions from mice of a lower tier (typically Tier 1), which can be imbued to give gauntlet cheese of the next tier. Hunters would then choose to imbue these potions with normal cheese or {{SB}}, depending on varying factors like tier number, cost of {{SB}} and whether the hunter prioritizes more on profit or progress. Unlike in other regions, hunters do not need to travel to progress to higher tiers. Instead, all hunters must do is to equip the appropriate cheese for the tier they wish to go after.
+
Good luck, MouseHunter, and don’t get tired on the stairs!
  
−
The mice on each tier have different weaknesses and difficulties, as such the best trap setup for each tier would be different as well. The general strategy is to maximize catch rate by following the primary weakness of the respective tier, although it is not strictly necessary as stronger traps that are very [[Effectiveness|effective]] against that tier can also achieve perfect catch rate. For lower tiers where perfect catch rate can be easily attained, hunters may consider optimizing their trap's cheese effect and attraction bonus without reducing catch rate, so as to minimize wastage of cheese due to stales.

It has been claimed that increasing luck would increase potion drop rate per catch, but hunters should note that this claim has not been statistically proved nor disproved by empirical data.

This many-storied tower is the King’s personal challenge to MouseHunters everywhere: anyone who can reach the top is among the kingdom’s elite. The King’s Gauntlet works on a tier system, with Hunters advancing to the next floor by hunting with cheese that they collect on the current floor. The Gauntlet is meant as a challenge for hunters of all skill levels, but in order to ascend to the very top, a Hero’s rank will come in handy.

Overview

King's Gauntlet is a hunting location in Valour region.
It requires the minimum rank of Hero and the King's Gauntlet Floorplan to access.

Mice here can be divided into 8 sub-groups, or tiers, each requires a specific type of Gauntlet cheese and drops the Potion to brew the next tier cheese.

Mice

All mice here are part of the Gauntlet Gladiators group.

They can be divided into 8 tiers.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Why hello, MouseHunter! It looks like we’ll be ascending the King’s Gauntlet together!

Hunters have flocked in from all over the land to face the terrors, the wonders, and the challenges of the King’s Gauntlet. If you can make it to the top of this tall, tall tower, you will gain lots of loot, and you will be able to count yourself among the land’s elite.

Every Hunter starts on floor one, using any bait they wish. From then on, Hunters progress to the next floor by using potions collected on the previous floor to make special cheeses. There is no need to travel-- just equip the right cheese to attract mice from the next floor!

On each floor, the mice are weak to a different power type. If you get confused, the cheese descriptions may lend a hand. The further you go up the Gauntlet, the more difficult, and profitable, the mice become. Can you make it all the way to the top, and defeat the mysterious Eclipse Mouse?

Good luck, MouseHunter, and don’t get tired on the stairs!
