==== Return of the Frost King! ====
−
New Eggs and New Rewards!
+
Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!
  
−
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
+
Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
 
  
−
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
−
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
+
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.
−
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

−
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
 
  
−
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.
+
'''Golem Parts'''
  
−
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
+
==== Festive Activities ====
−
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
 
  
−
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
+
The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening a new calendar has been added to the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.
  
−
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life.

The Great Winter Hunt is Here!

10 December 2024

Start building golems

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Thwart the Frost King

Return of the Frost King!

Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!

Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening a new calendar has been added to the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 19. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.
