====Where can I find Undead Emmental Potions?====
 
 
<p>These strange potions can be found as loot by hunting Zombie and Ravenous Zombie mice within the Mousoleum and Catacombs. These potions carry with them a curse which prevent hunters from holding too many at once. Additionally, hunters are unable to find potions when they have large amounts of the cheese they produce. Make sure to use up any Undead Emmental Cheese you have before looking for more potions.</p>

<p>This bone-chilling bait attracts a variety of undead mice in both the Mousoleum and Catacombs, including horrific Zombot Unipire Mice and gruesome Grave Robber Mice! Not only does capturing undead mice bring with it some of the highest rewards in the Kingdom, but the King is offering a special reward for each capture of Zombot Unipire and Grave Robber Mice...</p>
 
 
====Will Undead Emmental work after the invasion?====
 
 
<p>Even after the mini-event ends this cheese will retain its curse and be able to attract Zombot Unipire, Grave Robber and other undead mice. Be warned that when the invasion is subdued, you'll no longer be able to aquire Undead Emmental Potions.</p>
 
 
====What's a Zombie Survival Kit?====
 
 
<p>The King takes the threat of a zombie invasion seriously and as such wants his hunters to be as prepared as possible. Inside this kit you'll find 150 SUPER|brie+, 5 Radioactive Blue Potions as well as 25 Undead Emmental Cheese. The kit provides the Lucky Golden Shield for one month when opened and can be sent to friends.</p>

====How can I start hunting?====
 
 
<p>If you have not already, hunt for zombies in the Mousoleum or Catacombs to find Undead Emmental Potions. Once you've found a few, use them to create Undead Emmental Cheese and continue hunting in the Mousoleum or Catacombs. Good luck!</p>

New Hunting Location: The Crystal Library

9 August 2011

A new threat has been discovered...

Zurreal the Eternal and his minions are destroying Zugzwang's Crystal Library!

Gaining Access to the Library?

The Crystal Library is where Zugzwang stored a vast amount of hunting research collected over the years. To protect this knowledge, the library was hidden inside a crystal specially enchanted to prevent any mice from entering, until recently...

A mouse known as Zurreal the Eternal has managed to infiltrate the library's enchantment where he has unleashed an army of inorganic magical-tech mice who are immune to the library's protective enchantment! The library's wealth of knowledge is rapidly being destroyed by the mice there and must be salvaged!

The Crystal Library can only be accessed with a special Crystal Library Card. Unfortunately, thanks to Zurreal, these cards are now all under the possession of mice. You'll need to hunt down a card somewhere in Zugzwang's Tower before you can lend a hand at the library.

Restoring Library Research

Once inside the library, you can help recover Zugzwang's research by carrying out research tasks. Click "Get Assignment" on the heads-up display while in the library to browse available research assignments.

Completing assignments will earn you rewards based on the assignment carried out, along with special Library Points to mark your experience as a researcher! More advanced research assignments pose a greater challenge (and reward!) and thus require more Library Points in order to access them.

You can also see how you measure up against your friends and other hunters on the new Library Points Scoreboard.

Once you've earned a few Library Points, you'll have a greater variety of assignments available to you, allowing you to choose where you wish to conduct research; from Furoma, to the Seasonal Garden, and even at the Crystal Library itself!

Investigating Zurreal the Eternal

Once more is known about Zurreal the Eternal, the King will allow hunters to research this mysterious mouse. Keep watching this space for an announcement about when Zurreal can be hunted.

New Hunting Area for Lords, Ladies and above!

  • Find a Crystal Library Card
  • Travel to the Crystal Library in Rodentia
  • Carry out Research Assignments to help recover the lost knowledge!
