Crafting

Crafting is an integral part of MouseHunt, especially as players advance along the ranks. Once players advance to Initiate, the crafting tab will be accessible to them. Crafting allows players to put together different items that they have collected throughout the game. The result of crafting can be traps, cheeses, and other crafting items.

The in-game Crafting section of the Inventory tab is divided into three sub-sections: Crafting Items, Hunter's Hammer, and Recipe Book.

Crafting Items

Crafting items are the components or ingredients required in order to successfully create a crafted item. The complete list of all items that can be used in crafting can be found under Crafting Items. Information is given on the source as to where players can acquire individual items, as well as the crafted product(s) it is used in.

Crafting Slots

Crafting slots are what allow you to create certain cheeses and other items. Each ingredient in a recipe requires the use of a slot (regardless of the quantity of that ingredient). As you progress in rank, you will gain more slots for crafting, which allows you to craft items requiring more ingredients. Additionally, while many formulas only require 2 or 3 slots to craft, the ingredients are not available for lower ranks. Every rank will always be able to safely craft the items of the lower ranks. Therefore a Master will be able to craft items available to Journeymen, Initiates and Apprentices.

Rank	Total Slots
Initiate	2
Journeyman	3
Master	4
Grandmaster	5
Legendary	6
Hero	7
Knight	8
Lord/Lady	9
Baron/Baroness	10
Count/Countess	11
Duke/Duchess	12
Grand Duke/Grand Duchess	13

When crafting a new recipe for the first time, the player is given an opportunity to share an Attraction Charm with friends, and the result of the crafting appears on the Hunter's Journal.

Before MouseHunt updated to Version 3.0 on 8 June 2010, the last slot of each rank was a Red Slot. If you used the correct recipe, and used the Red Slot, you had chance of losing all of your ingredients that you tried to use and not being successful in creating the new item. Otherwise, crafting works exactly the same now as it did before.

Unknown Recipes

When a new recipe is introduced and the ingredients are unknown, it is possible to determine the correct ingredients through trial and error. When you use the correct type of materials but in wrong quantities, you get a message saying, "Almost there The right parts are used but the quantities aren't correct," instead of the usual "Huh? Nothing seems to quite fit together."

If the quantities are right but the item cannot be constructed because the hunter has already reached the maximum inventory count for that item, the message states "Sorry Your inventory can not currently hold this item." For example, the S.S Huntington II map piece is a capped inventory item, meaning it is not possible to learn both recipes for constructing the ship.

Hunter's Hammer

This section manages items that can be smashed for creating further items for crafting. The complete list of smashable items can be found under the Hunter's Hammer page. Hunter's Hammer is the only crafting ability available to hunters below Initiate rank.

Recipe Book

The table below shows all possible recipes to be crafted. Note that this table only tracks which ranks have the sufficient crafting slots and access to ingredients to complete a given recipe. However, some recipes also have minimum point requirements; as an example, it is often the case that a hunter will have achieved the rank of Hero before having enough points to craft the RhinoBot, even though it is listed in this table under Legendary.

By switching to the Recipe Book sub-tab, a hunter can find a particular recipe that they have previously constructed, and select how many multiples of that recipe to craft at once.

Recipes with the words (reconstruction) or (reconstitution) imply that players are able to craft the item only if they had previously owned and smashed the item in question. Recipes marked ^LE imply that players are able to craft the item only if they obtained limited edition components during the right event. Recipes marked ^E imply that players are able to craft the item only if they obtained event specific components during the right event.

This table does not list event crafting done via special pages, such as the initial construction of the Nannybot during MouseHunt Birthday II, or toys built during the Toy Drive of the Great Winter Hunt 2011, since those constructions do not affect the hunter's Recipe Book.

Seventeen of these recipes are also tracked via the Book of Living Recipes in the Heads-up Display of the Living Garden and related areas.
