Calamity Carl's Toy Factory

02 December 2011

Gnawnian Toy Shoppe: Opening Soon!

The Vacant Lot south of the castle is no stranger to visitors and festivities. The land is owned by the King and often rented to those looking to host celebrations or parties. For whatever reason, however, tenants tend to shy away from the area during late November, and despite the King dramatically lowering the cost of rent, no one has shown interest in renting the lot.

Just as the King had given up hope of finding a tenant, a particularly festive hunter named Calamity Carl came to Gnawnia asking to build a toy factory where he and his merry toy makers could produce toys for all the young hunters of Gnawnia. Delighted by the offer, the King gladly offered the lot free of charge to Calamity Carl, and almost overnight an amazing toy factory was built!

Despite having a reputation for not entirely thinking his plans through, Carl's mission to produce delightful toys is going extremely well! In only a few days Carl's team has already produced a massive number of festive toys. It seems his plan to bring a smile to the face of each young hunter will be a great success!

With Calamity Carl's plan to spread festive cheer, this upcoming Great Winter Hunt is sure to be the best ever! Wish Carl luck and knock on wood that his plan stays free of any minor setback!

Mousevina's Curse has been Lifted!

3 November 2011

Mousevina's control over the mice of the Haunted Terrortories has been broken as a result of your valiant hunting efforts! The Corn Maze, Haunted Manor and Pumpkin Patch have mysteriously left, leaving Gnawnia safe from the spooky mice that haunted the Terrortories.

Halloween Shoppes Available until Tuesday

The various shoppes that were located in the Haunted Terrortories will remain open in the now Vacant Lot until Tuesday, November 8th. If you have any remaining Halloween Candies or Cobwebs, Larry highly recommends you spend them at the shoppes now!

If you have a Soulstone and have not yet purchased a Soul Catcher Trap, make sure to do so before the Trapsmith closes. Note that you do not need any additional supplies from the Halloween shoppes to upgrade the Soul Catcher into the Soul Harvester Trap. The materials required to perform the upgrade can be found as loot and purchased from the various General Stores located across the Kingdom. This means you can upgrade your trap at anytime, assuming you have discovered the location of the required General Stores.

A Spooky Fog

Still have some Spooky Charms left? There have been some reports of a mysterious fog rolling through the Vacant Lot. Larry's early hunting has revealed that arming Spooky Charms brings the fog closer to a hunter's trap where a few spooky breeds of mice can then be encountered, even when using standard bait. As a reminder: Spooky Charms also carry a power bonus in all other areas of the Kingdom.

Additionally, you can exchange extra Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese at the Charm Shoppe within the Vacant Lot to aquire more Spooky Charms.

Bonus Luck Weekend!

Has Halloween left you feeling a little on edge around rodents? To help his hunters conquer any fear of mice, the King has decreed that this upcoming weekend be a +5 Bonus Luck Weekend! On Friday, keep your eyes glued to the news ticker at the top of the game to know exactly when the event has started! Enjoy the bonus luck, hunters!

Halloween comes to an end!

• The Vacant Lot now stands where the Terrortories were
• You can still exchange candies and webs until Tuesday
• You can use excess Spooky Charms to attract a few remaining spooky breeds
