Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise can be found in Gnawnia near the Harbour. This cruise party is like no other Carl has hosted before: This year's cozy cruise is not only decorated for Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day, but also has an expansive sports deck, complete with an ice rink! The new sports deck appears to have attracted some athletic mice, however, their taste in bait is a little different than mice currently found on the mainland.

Carl's mechanical prowess certainly leaves much to be desired. He's completely forgotten to supply an adequate source of fuel for his massive cruise ship!<br/><br/>

To get the ship sailing at a proper pace, he's going to need your help. Luckily, some of the mice on board the ship are carrying just the explosive item you need: Fireworks. These are not just any fireworks! Their mighty blast, when timed perfectly from the rear of the ship, is capable of propelling the ship forward. Collect basic Firecracker Charms as loot drops to speed the ship up, or find more powerful varieties to move even quicker, leaving behind a mighty wake!<br/><br/>
+
----
  
While using various types of firework charms to propel the ship, you'll no doubt notice that the mice you attract change depending on the type of fireworks show you're putting on. It appears that some of the mice which are costumed for Lunar New Year only come out to party when the fireworks get BIG!

====Visit the Sports Deck====
+
<blockquote>
  
It's a little chilly out in the Rodentia Ocean. In fact, it's cold enough to keep an ice rink frozen on the sports deck! Various sporty mice have flocked to the cruise to try out not only the ice rink, but the various other sports facilities the ship offers. However, luring them away from their sport poses a challenge. You'll need to get your hands on some Runny Cheese to break their athletic discipline and have them visit your trap.<br/><br/>
+
'''The King's Vault is Open!'''
  
Calamity Carl has stocked the gift shop with some Runny Cheese, which can be sent as a free gift to friends each day. While you're sending gifts, make sure to check out the wide variety of other festive items you can send to friends! Some are free of charge, while others carry a cost of gold.<br/><br/>
+
Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies!
  
Looking for a little more Runny Cheese? The King has assembled a few supply packages for hunters looking to work up a sweat on the sports deck!<br/><br/>

====Earning Cruise Bux====
+
==== The King's Giveaway has BEGUN! ====
 +
The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun!
  
The currency on board Carl's ship is Cruise Bux. These nautical coins are handed out as celebrations for safely arriving at new areas of Gnawnia while cruising, and can also be found as loot drops from mischievous mice who keep running off with the stuff! Keep your ship cruising quickly across the water to propel through the Kingdom and keep the celebrations coming!<br/><br/>
+
From now until '''July 2''', the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom!
  
Upon completing the first tour, you'll be awarded a Captain's Cavalry Sword to indicate you've mastered the rough waters of Rodentia. This sword will earn you the respect of the shopkeepers, which will in turn allow you to purchase their wares. Once you've obtained your Cavalry Sword and amassed some Cruise Bux, visit the various shoppes on board to browse what hunting loot they have for sale. If you're the type that likes to remember where you've been with mementos, then the General Store will be of particular interest. Stocked in the General Store are several "miniatures" to remember each place the cruise ship visited.
+
During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a '''bonus hunt''' which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal.
  
====Stocking Up For a Voyage====

<center>''Capture these rare and valuable mice for Prize Keys and a chance to win SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+, King's Credits, and more!''</center>
  
The King loves a party at sea as much as any hunter, and as such, has used his reserves of hunting loot to assemble various supplies and kits to help keep the party going aboard the cruise!
+
==== King's Prize Keys and The Vault ====
  
{| cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style="margin:0px; text-align:left;"

The greedy prize mice have snatched up '''ALL''' the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+!

===A Toxic Spill has occurred outside the Laboratory!===
 
''{{date|21|January|2014}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
  
A spill of toxic waste has happened at the Laboratory! The Toxic Spill has polluted the opening of the Burroughs River causing the mice there to mutate into powerful monsters! Read on to learn how hunters can help hunt the mice there and clean up the pollution.<br/><br/>
+
Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000!
The Toxic Spill marks the first release in the Year of the Noble which represents a series of content releases aimed at adding new challenges for experienced hunters with high-ranked hunter's titles!
 
  
====Outbreaks and Toxic Spills====
+
Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive '''Leprechaun Mouse'''. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and the chance of a cash prize!
Toxic Spills are the result of a build up of polluted waste from the Lab spilling into the river due to the filtration system being damaged beyond repair by mice. The damaged filters block the waste until they give under the weight of the waste, causing it to flow into the river.<br/><br/>
 
It's somewhat unpredictable how often a spill occurs and just how much waste will be spilled, however, with waste always building up these spills are likely to occur somewhat frequently. Each time there is a spill the amount of waste spilled is a little different, meaning each spill will vary in its level of severity.<br/><br/>
 
Depending on the level of severity, access to the area will be restricted: Higher levels of toxic waste are restricted to higher-hunter's title, while lower levels of waste will allow for less experienced hunters to enter the spill area. These restrictions are for good reason -- High levels of contamination are when the most powerful mice are active requiring experienced hunters with powerful hunting equipment!
 
  
====Contamination Levels====
 
A Toxic Spill can be of eight possible contamination levels. As mice are captured, the contamination level will lower.<br/><br/>
 
The minimum title required to enter different levels of contamination:
 
:*Level Eight: Archduke / Archduchess
 
:*Level Seven: Grand Duke / Grand Duchess
 
:*Level Six: Duke / Duchess
 
:*Level Five: Count / Countess
 
:*Level Four: Baron / Baroness
 
:*Level Three: Lord / Lady
 
:*Level Two: Knight
 
:*Level One: Hero
 
  
As you may expect, more powerful mice can be found during high contamination levels, while slightly weaker mice can be found during lower levels. Similarly, the more powerful mice come with the greatest reward of gold and points.<br/><br/>
+
==== Regal Codex ====
Hunters with a title of Hero or above will be made aware of the current contamination level via a banner placed above their journal while hunting outside the Toxic Spill. If you're interested in helping and lack the necessary title to enter, check in periodically to track the progress of higher-ranked hunters and see when you'll be able to enter the Toxic Spill.
 
  
====Hunting strategies for the Toxic Spill====
+
Unlock the new Regal Codex by hunting with any Regal Charm to find Regal Codex Pages as loot drops. Mice drop these pages both during and after the giveaway! The pages can then be turned in at the King's Arms for the Codex.
  
Thanks to the early efforts of Digby Scientists, the King and Larry were able to gain valuable insight on how to hunt the mice at the Toxic Spill. Their findings include a distinct weakness to hydro traps, as well as a new type of bait called Rancid Radioactive Blue. Rancid Radioactive Blue is a more pungent version of Radioactive Blue and can be made my smashing Radioactive Blue to obtain its curd and combining two curds with Radioactive Sludge and Ionized Salt. Alternatively, the keeper at the Cheese Shoppe will sell you Rancid Radioactive Blue, so long as you provide him some regular Radioactive Blue, Radioactive Sludge, and some gold to cover the cost of Ionized Salt.<br/><br/>
+
<center>''The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!''</center>
No matter how you obtain your bait, you'll want to arm your absolutely strongest hydro trap. The polluted mice at the Toxic Spill seem to only be weakened with a healthy dose of water, making all other power types ineffective.
 
  
====Collecting and refining Crude Pollutinum====
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''The Regal Codex will be a permanent addition to the King's Cart.'''<br>
 +
This means that you can obtain it even after the King's Giveaway ends!
 +
</div></div>
  
While hunting at the Toxic Spill you'll likely come across the unique item Crude Pollutinum. This gooey resource can be refined into a more useful item simply called Pollutinum. The refined version is undoubtedly a much more useful item for crafting that has hunters across the Kingdom excited about its possible use. The King's trapsmith is tinkering with Pollutinum to create a new base, while Mustachio is interested in how it could be used to create charms. Some hunters interested in cosmetics are exploring how to create unique trap skins with Pollutinum.<br/><br/>
 
An important word of caution: Refining Crude Pollutinum is a process to dangerous to attempt while a Toxic Spill is actively raising the levels of radiation in the Kingdom; You'll need to wait until the Toxic Spill is entirely cleaned before you can refine Crude Pollutinum into it's more useful refined state.<br/><br/>
 
Finally, in order to safely store Crude Pollutinum in your inventory, each hunter has been given a containment barrel from the King capable of holding 200 units of Crude Pollutinum. Larger barrels can be crafted with scraps found in the Toxic Spill, allowing you to store more Crude Pollutinum each time a Toxic Spill occurs.
 
  
====Supply and Hazmat Kits====
+
==== King's Cart Updates ====
  
To help equip hunters, the King has assembled various supplies and two kits using the Kingdom's reserve of Radioactive Curd and Sludge.<br/><br/>
+
The following items have been added to the King's Cart:
'''Pollution Control Supply Kit'''<br/>
 
Contains 200 Radioactive Curd and 100 Radioactive Sludge.
 
Available for purchase at the King's Arms using King's Credits.
 
<br/><br/>

===Pollution Levels Rising at the Laboratory===
+
==== Rainbow Treasure Maps ====
''{{date|17|January|2014}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
Pollution levels outside the lab are rising! Digby Scientists predict that a deadly toxic spill is imminent!
 
  
====Laboratory Outflow Filters====
+
Inside the King's Vault, hunters may have the option to select a Rainbow Scroll Case as one possible reward. This bright and colourful case contains a lengthy treasure map, which usually allows for six hunters to participate. However, hunters can upgrade their Rainbow Scroll Cases into a PARTY SIZE version by visiting the King's Arms or King's Cart. The exchange costs a regular Rainbow Scroll Case, 1 Rare Map Dust, and 50 Magic Essence. This jumbo scroll contains the same massive map, but allows for '''10 hunters''' to participate!
The Laboratory has long been entirely overrun with mice, however, Digby Scientists are now reporting that the infestation is beginning to affect more than just the Lab. The waste outflow pipes that pour into the Burroughs River have had their filtration system chewed through by mice, making them much less reliable.<br/><br/> Without a properly functioning filtration system, the pollutants generated at the Lab are slowly building up in the river opening, forming a delta of radioactive waste. The scientists at Digby are predicting that once this pollution reaches a critical mass, a massive toxic spill will occur!
 
  
====Early Toxic Spill Research====
+
Whether you take on a regular or party size map they'll both lead to the same Rainbow Treasure Chest rewarding Gold, Points, Ancient Charms, Rainbow Charms, King's Credits, and more!
A small team of brave scientists from Digby ventured into the Laboratory to investigate the potential effects of pollution entering the Burroughs river on mice in the area. A few experiments later, their most-feared hypothesis was proven true: The toxic waste has dastardly effects on mice, increasing their size and strength, while others gain new found powers! The toxic environment also appears to make the mice extremely aggressive, making them a serious threat to the safety of the Kingdom.<br/><br/>With no doubt in the scientists' minds that a toxic spill is imminent, the King has called upon experienced hunters to stand at the ready and brace themselves to hunt mice at the toxic spill.<br/><br/>
 
The cleanup strategy will be as follows:
 
:*When the spill first occurs and is at its highest contamination level, more experienced hunters will need to head in and capture the most powerful mice.
 
:*As the contamination level drops and the more powerful mice are removed, lower ranks of hunters will be permitted to enter the area.
 
:*Repeat this strategy as the pollution levels continue to drop, allowing in more and more hunters, until the area is completely free of contaminants.<br/>
 
Although the scientists are not positive how severe the toxic spill may be, the King is asking for hunters with the title of Hero all the way to Archduke to be at the ready.<br/><br/>
 
Digby scientists have not finished their investigation, but they're able to share one preliminary finding that may help hunters prepare for the imminent toxic spill: Mice exposed to the toxic waste can be lured closer by extremely radioactive and rancid items. Although standard Radioactive Blue Cheese has not proven effective, they're confident that should a more rancid variety of this cheese be crafted, it would be extremely effective.<br/><br/>
 
'''Digby scientists are recommending that hunters stock up on both Radioactive Blue Cheese and Radioactive Sludge as they suspect both items will prove valuable in the upcoming Toxic Spill.'''
 
  
====Pollution accumulating around the Lab====
+
Not interested in completing such a huge map? Rainbow Treasure Maps can be completed at any time by claiming a consolation prize for a portion of the Points, Gold, and Ancient Charms based on the number of mice captured.
:*A Toxic Spill is imminent
 
:*Hunters from Hero to Archduke, prepare for a new challenge!

==== A Reminder About Bonus Hunts ====
''{{date|7|January|2014}}''
+
Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc.
<blockquote>
 
The Great Winter Snowball Fight has come to an end. An area called the Vacant Lot has remained behind where all of the Festive Shoppes will stay open for one more week.
 
  
==== Spend Your Ice Coins ====
+
The "special" bonuses '''specifically''' provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt.
Make sure you visit the various Festive Shoppes to cash-in all of your Ice Coins! There is a wide variety of hunting loot available that is sure to help you in your hunting endeavors across the Kingdom. Make sure to also purchase the Limited Edition Ice Blaster Trap. Remember: The Ice Blaster Trap can be upgraded into the Glacier Gatler, so if you're the collector type, you may want to purchase two Ice Blaster Traps to have one of each!
 
  
==== Exchange Snow Blocks for Snowball Charms ====
+
-- {{MHP|510239199|Franco D'Auria}}
Have extra Snow Blocks after completing your Snow Fort? Exchange them at the Charm Shoppe for Snowball Mystery Packs! Each pack contains a random amount of Snowball Charms. Although these charms boost the stats of any trap, arm them with either the Ice Blaster or Glacial Gattler and watch your power really soar!
+
----
 
 
==== Exchange Snowball Bocconcini for Winter Charms ====
 
Have extra Snowball Bocconcini? Extra pieces of cheese can be exchanged at the Cheese Shoppe for Winter Charms! Even outside of the festive area, these charms provide an impressive luck bonus, making them useful all year long!
 
 
 
==== Special bonuses melt away with your fort ====
 
The warmer weather has melted the Festive Snow Fort, along with the fortresses built by hunters. All special bonuses provided by the fortress, such as power bonuses, tournament bonuses, etc. will no longer be provided. The one exception to this are rewards from Naughty and Nice Treasure Chests. The magical bonus upon opening the chest has remained even though the tavern in your Snow Fort has melted. You will still receive the double loot bonus upon opening if you built the related upgrade.
 
 
 
==== What's your next goal? ====
 
The end of an event can leave a few hunters pondering what their next goal may be. Are you still on the always expanding quest of discovering new hunting locations and breeds of mouse? If you need a little help getting back on track, check out this amazing MouseHunt guide built by a member of the community: [http://www.mousehuntguide.com/mh-index.php Spheniscine's MouseHunt Guide (mousehuntguide.com)].

Are you an avid treasure hunter? As a reminder, season one of the Relic Hunter and Treasure Chests will soon come to an end and season two will begin! This means that completing newly acquired Treasure Maps will reward a new "Season Two" Treasure Chest with mostly similar contents, although some will be different. Most notably, the Limited Edition Ancient Gauntlet Trap will no longer be able to be found in the new chests. If you have not obtained the Ancient Gauntlet Trap yet, now is your last chance to find it!

The King's Giveaway!

18 June 2024

The King's Vault is Open!

Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies!


The King's Giveaway has BEGUN!

The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun!

From now until July 2, the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom!

During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a bonus hunt which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal.

Capture these rare and valuable mice for Prize Keys and a chance to win SUPER|brie+, King's Credits, and more!

King's Prize Keys and The Vault

The greedy prize mice have snatched up ALL the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER|brie+!

Once you've opened 10 Mystery Prize Packs, the King will allow you to peek into the vault and select one of three randomly offered, highly valuable prizes! Once a prize has been selected from the vault, the door will slam shut and the prizes will reset. You may visit the vault every time you open 10 prize packs!

The King's Vault will close on July 9.

Once the giveaway ends, any King's Prize Keys in your inventory will be removed, so make sure to use them up!


Prized Items

Capturing a Treasurer, Snooty, or High Roller Mouse will reward you with King's Credits which you can spend at the King's Arms or King's Cart for equipment to help you in a wide range of hunting endeavours.

Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER|brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000!

Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive Leprechaun Mouse. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER|brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER|brie+ and the chance of a cash prize!


Regal Codex

Unlock the new Regal Codex by hunting with any Regal Charm to find Regal Codex Pages as loot drops. Mice drop these pages both during and after the giveaway! The pages can then be turned in at the King's Arms for the Codex.

The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!
The Regal Codex will be a permanent addition to the King's Cart.

This means that you can obtain it even after the King's Giveaway ends!


King's Cart Updates

The following items have been added to the King's Cart:

Papyrus Seed
Cost: 1x King's Credit
Ingenuity Grub
Cost: 1x King's Credit
Unstable Charm
Cost: 2x King's Credit
Compass Magnet
Cost: 20x King's Credit
Regal Chrome Celestial Dissonance Skin
Cost: 300x King's Credit
Regal Codex
Cost: 100x Regal Codex Page


Rainbow Treasure Maps

Inside the King's Vault, hunters may have the option to select a Rainbow Scroll Case as one possible reward. This bright and colourful case contains a lengthy treasure map, which usually allows for six hunters to participate. However, hunters can upgrade their Rainbow Scroll Cases into a PARTY SIZE version by visiting the King's Arms or King's Cart. The exchange costs a regular Rainbow Scroll Case, 1 Rare Map Dust, and 50 Magic Essence. This jumbo scroll contains the same massive map, but allows for 10 hunters to participate!

Whether you take on a regular or party size map they'll both lead to the same Rainbow Treasure Chest rewarding Gold, Points, Ancient Charms, Rainbow Charms, King's Credits, and more!

Not interested in completing such a huge map? Rainbow Treasure Maps can be completed at any time by claiming a consolation prize for a portion of the Points, Gold, and Ancient Charms based on the number of mice captured.


Royal Deals

To celebrate the King's Giveaway, the King is offering royal deals on the most popular cheese in the Kingdom: SUPER|brie+!

Until the end of the giveaway, some of the most popular bundles of SUPER|brie+ are on sale with savings ranging from 10% all the way to 25% off.

Additionally, the King has put together some marvelous bundles, offering up the very best of his royal stash of Regal Charms and SUPER|brie+, along with some Prize Keys to exchange towards a King's Vault prize, for a bargain!

We're working through these compensations manually.

On July 2, Prize Keys will stop dropping, and Prize mice will go back into hiding.

The Giveaway will remain accessible for opening Prize Packs and King's Vaults until July 9

King's Prize Keys will be removed from inventories shortly afterwards, so be sure to exchange them all!

The event will end at approximately 3:00pm UTC

A Reminder About Bonus Hunts

Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc.

The "special" bonuses specifically provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt.
