MouseHunt is turning seven years old! WOW! The King is celebrating with cupcakes for everyone<br/><br/>
 
  
====Cupcake Extravaganza====
+
==== Year of the Snake ====
 +
The Year of the Snake 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 '''thirteen''' locations across Gnawnia!
  
The King has organized a birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, several mice with a sweet tooth are proving to be a usual nuisance by stealing cupcakes. The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders. Just make sure to dust a bit of the rodent fur off before shipping them for consumption...<br>
+
Claim the Snake Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!
Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are seven different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting. While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!

In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need similarly-themed bait: Cupcake Colby. This sweet cheese is produced by Cupcake Colby Potions that can be collected as loot at the birthday party zone. Once you've stock piled some Cupcake Colby, arm it to lure cupcake-dropping mice out of hiding!<br/><br/>

 +
At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would in that location. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance of dropping Dumpling Cheese.
  
There are five types of cupcakes that can be found as loot while hunting with Cupcake Colby. Cupcakes may also occasionally show up as the Gift of the Day to send to friends for free!<br/><br/>
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
Red, Yellow, and Blue Cupcakes are the most commonly found type of cupcakes. They're used in every variety of order. If you find yourself with a few too many of a specific colour, visit the General Store where you can exchange 12 of a single colour for 6 differently-coloured cupcakes.<br/><br/>
+
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice'''</div></div>
Green and Rainbow are harder to find than the other three cupcakes. More difficult orders will require more Green, and orders from year six and seven always require one or two Rainbow cupcakes. You'll also find these cupcakes in Daily Loyalty Chests!
+
Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted '''Red Lunar Lantern Candles'''!

<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!'''</div></div>
 +
With the Snake Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping rewards!
  
There are seven different types of orders you can fulfill, one for each year of MouseHunting! Later year orders require more cupcakes, but they come with greater rewards!<br/><br/>
 
While you're actively working on an order, a few mice that were released during that year can be encountered. Although these mice may vary in power type weaknesses, their insatiable love of sugar has them on an out-of-control sugar rush. Mice you encounter at the birthday party zone will have weaknesses to ALL power types, although, their typical weaknesses are still likely to be their greatest. These mice drop cupcakes the most often so be sure to always have an order on the go!<br/><br/>
 
'''Choosing orders lets you pick your own level of hunting difficulty and rewards!'''<br/><br/>
 
  
====Year One====
+
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!

Carefully arranged colourful cupcakes create a base that will tempt the sweet tooth of both mice and hunter alike! The Cupcake Birthday Base attracts mice with a particular fondness for cupcakes; Mice captured with this base will occasionally drop a Cupcake Charm that adds +7 Luck, 7% Attraction Bonus, and a fresh cheese effect!<br/><br/>
 
  
'''Stale Cupcake Golem Trap'''<br/>
+
The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, where you can work together with friends to complete the treasure map.
This trap is rewarded for shipping one of each type of cupcake order.<br/>
 
This ancient-powered golem is a surprisingly potent Forgotten weapon. Its sacrifices luck for power, with 6,700 power and a 7% power bonus it will prove useful against some of the more powerful Forgotten Mice lurking in the spookier areas around the Kingdom.<br/><br/>

Claim the Snake Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!

How to Celebrate

Stockpile Locations

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately. This year, the Bountiful Beanstalk has been added as a new stockpile location!

Town of Gnawnia Laboratory Great Gnarled Tree Dojo
S.S Huntington IV Claw Shot City Gnawnia Rift Fungal Cavern
Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad Foreword Farm
Bountiful Beanstalk Climb
Gather Dumpling Cheese

At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would in that location. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance of dropping Dumpling Cheese.

Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice

Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!

Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Snake Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping rewards!


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!


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!


Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!


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!


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. Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts, trap skins, and more!

The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, where you can work together with friends to complete the treasure map.


The Lunar New Year event will end on February 11, 2025

As of February 11, you will no longer be able to collect Dumpling cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles at stockpile locations.


You will no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern candles and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.


You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops until February 18.
