==Overview==
+
== Windmill Mechanic ==
The [[Windmill]] is a location in the [[Gnawnia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Apprentice]] to enter.<br/>
+
In this location, a '''Windmill''' mechanic is in effect.
Mice in the [[Windmill]] cannot steal gold, points, or extra cheese.<br/>
+
*The '''speed''' is between '''0''' and '''30''' RPM.
Hunters accessing the [[Windmill]] for the first time will only have access to [[Physical]] weapons, but the mice here have a weakness to all [[Power Type]]s.
+
**When the Hunter first enters the location, it is at '''0'''.
 +
**With every catch, the speed increases by '''1'''.
 +
**Once the Hunter catch [[Captain Croissant]], the speed becomes '''30''' RPM immediately.
 +
**The speed determines the amount of [[Packet of Flour]] dropped by each mouse.
  
===Repairing the Windmill===
+
{| style="text-align: center; margin: 1em" class="b_and_p"
When Hunters first enter the [[Windmill]] it is not operating properly. The Heads-Up Display (HUD) shows a '''speed gauge''' which initially reads '''0 RPM'''. As Hunters catch mice, the power of the [[Windmill]] increases. Mice will drop [[Packets of Flour]] which can be used to purchase [[Grilled Cheese]] in the [[Windmill Cheese Shoppe]].  Arming [[Grilled Cheese]] allows Hunters to attract and catch the [[Captain Croissant Mouse]], which boosts the [[Windmill]] to its top speed of '''60 RPM'''. Once the top speed is reached, the [[Windmill]] is fully repaired and will not lose speed over time.

|- class="sticky_table_row" style="background-color: #dddddd"

The HUD shows the following items:

While arming [[Grilled Cheese]] to catch the [[Captain Croissant Mouse]] is completely optional, doing so will complete [[Repair the Windmill]] from the [[Adventure Book]].

The '''HUD''' shows:

*The current [[#Windmill Mechanic|windmill speed]] and the description of that level
 +
*The Hunter's inventory of [[Packet of Flour]]

::''Arm this gooey delight to lure out the elusive Captain Croissant Mouse!''
  
==Mice==
+
== [[Mice]] ==
All mice in this area are from the [[Indigenous Mice]] group and are weak to all [[Power Type]]s.
+
All mice found in '''{{PAGENAME}}''' are part of [[Indigenous Mice]] group.<br>
 +
All power types work against these mice.
  
===Cheese Preference and Loot===
+
All mice here drop [[Packet of Flour]] with the amount tied to [[#Windmill Mechanic|the windmill speed]].
[[Standard Cheese]] attracts most mice in the [[Windmill]].<br/>
 
[[White Cheddar Cheese]] will reduce the mouse population by repelling the [[Brown]], [[Grey]], and [[White]] mice.<br/>
 
[[Grilled Cheese]] will attract '''only''' the [[Captain Croissant Mouse]].<br/>
 
{{SB}} will attract all mice in the [[Windmill]] '''except''' the [[Captain Croissant Mouse]].

===Mice with Special Requirements===
 
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Windmill]] on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an [[Ancient Relic]] in their inventory to attract this mouse. The [[Ancient Relic]] will be taken by the [[Relic Hunter Mouse]] in exchange for a [[Relic Hunter Scroll Case]].
 
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Windmill]] when Hunters are actively working an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]]. It is attracted only to [[Fusion Fondue]] which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.
 
  
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
Mice in the [[Windmill]] are attracted to all [[Standard Cheese]]s, except [[Captain Croissant]] which is only attracted to [[Grilled Cheese]].<br/>
 
[[Grilled Cheese]] can be purchased in the [[Windmill Cheese Shoppe]] in exchange for 12 [[Packets of Flour]].<br/>
 
Mice in the [[Windmill]] have a weakness to all [[Power Type]]s.<br/>
 
Hunters who reach the [[Rank]] of [[Initiate]] will be able to travel to the [[Harbour]].
 
 
===[[Adventure Book]]===
 
Hunters can [[Repair the Windmill]] by capturing the troublesome [[Captain Croissant Mouse]].
 
 
===[[Library Assignments]]===
 
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Windmill]].
 
 
===[[Tournaments]]===
 
[[Windmill]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].
 
 
===[[Treasure Map]]s===
 
Many mice in the [[Windmill]] are often found on [[Gnawnia Treasure Map]]s and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]].

Congratulations, MouseHunter! You've reached the Windmill, a rustic locale where Apprentice MouseHunters go to prove their worth. A group of rowdy country mice overran this farm a while back, and ever since, they've been throwing a hoedown with the farmer's crops!

So set your trap, MouseHunter, and discover all the wacky and wonderful mouse breeds at the Windmill! Fight hard, and trap often, and you'll be an Initiate in no time!
  
Once you have captured [[Captain Croissant]] the Windmill will be restored to its fully operational status, making loot drops of flour much easier to find!

This windmill, and the farm beside it, used to belong to one of Gnawnia's most prosperous farmers before the mice took it over. Windmill mice enjoy the simple life down on the farm, but don't be fooled by their relaxed attitude-- they're laid-back about everything but cheese.

Overview

Windmill is a hunting location in Gnawnia region.
It requires the rank of Apprentice to access.

Windmill Mechanic

In this location, a Windmill mechanic is in effect.

  • The speed is between 0 and 30 RPM.
    • When the Hunter first enters the location, it is at 0.
    • With every catch, the speed increases by 1.
    • Once the Hunter catch Captain Croissant, the speed becomes 30 RPM immediately.
    • The speed determines the amount of Packet of Flour dropped by each mouse.
Speed Level Description Flour drop
0 None The Windmill is not turning. 0
1 - 2 Ultra low The Windmill creaks into a slow turn! Keep hunting! 1
3 - 8 Low The Windmill is turning slowly. Mice now drop a bit more flour! 2
9 - 17 Medium The Windmill is turning steadily! Mice now drop even more flour! 3
18 - 29 High The Windmill is turning at high speed. There's flour everywhere! 4
30 Max The Windmill has been repaired and will remain at top speed! 5

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Congratulations, MouseHunter! You've reached the Windmill, a rustic locale where Apprentice MouseHunters go to prove their worth. A group of rowdy country mice overran this farm a while back, and ever since, they've been throwing a hoedown with the farmer's crops!

Recently, a gigantic bread-like mouse has taken up residence inside of the Windmill. This has caused production problems that only a MouseHunter can solve!

• Catch mice in the Windmill
• Every catch helps the Windmill operate more efficiently
• The more you catch, the more the Windmill can produce!
• Collect Packets of Flour and purchase Grilled Cheese
• Capture the Captain Croissant Mouse!

Watch out though! Unlike the Town of Gnawnia, these mice offer more of a challenge to catch, where some may even be able to steal your bait without springing your trap.

So set your trap, MouseHunter, and discover all the wacky and wonderful mouse breeds at the Windmill! Fight hard, and trap often, and you'll be an Initiate in no time!
