== Overview ==
The [[S.S. Huntington III]] is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hunter's Title|Legendary]] and having crafted the [[S.S. Huntington III (item)|S.S. Huntington III map piece]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.

''Zugzwang's seasonal garden is the perfect destination for those who can't make up their mind about the weather. Every few days, the seasons shift, bringing with them a new crop of mice with different powers. Keep an eye out for the shards of an old key- they might provide the way into that mysterious locked tower.''
  
[[Hydro]] weapons are strongly recommended when hunting aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]].
+
== Description and Requirements ==
 +
'''Seasonal Garden''' is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Lord|Lord or Lady]] and the [[Zugzwang's Scarf]] to enter.  
  
Hunters will need to locate the [[Compass]], [[Sextant]], and [[Telescope]] from mice aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] in order to craft the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]].  The [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] is required to travel to the [[Tribal Isles]] locations.
+
The Seasonal Garden changes seasons every 80 hours. The current season is reflected on the travel map, allowing it to be monitored from outside the area.  The [[Umbrella]] collectible is also affected by the current season.
  
===Crafting the S.S. Huntington III Map Piece===
+
Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.
Hunters require the [[S.S. Huntington III (item)|S.S. Huntington III map piece]] in order to travel to the [[S.S. Huntington III]]. There are two ways in which this map piece can be crafted, but each requires the same crafting items and will cost the same amount of gold.
 
  
====Simplified Formula====
+
== Shops ==
This single-step recipe creates the [[S.S. Huntington III (item)|S.S. Huntington III map piece]] required for travelling to the [[S.S. Huntington]] location.''
+
These are the shops that can be found in the Seasonal Garden:
 +
*[[Cheese Shoppe#Seasonal Garden Cheese Shoppe|Cheese Shoppe]]
 +
*[[Trapsmith#Seasonal Garden Trapsmith|Trapsmith]]
 +
*[[General Store#Seasonal Garden General Store|General Store]]
 +
 
 +
== Seasonal Garden Mice ==
 +
Most mice in the Seasonal Garden are in the [[Seasonal Soldiers]] group. They have a weakness to [[Tactical]] weapons, as well as another power type depending on their season. The average points and gold rewards for the mice increase from the lowest in spring to the highest in winter. On days when the [[Relic Hunter]] can be found in the garden, catching one will increase the [[Tower Amplifier]] by 1%. However, [[M400]], [[Glitchpaw]], [[Lucky]] and [[Prize]] mice do not affect the amplifier.

====Unchristened Ship Formulas====
 
This two step recipe creates the [[S.S. Huntington III (item)|S.S. Huntington III map piece]] required for travelling to the [[S.S. Huntington]] location. <br/>
 
Before MouseHunt updated to Version 3.0 on '''8 June 2010''', [[Legendary]] Hunters were encouraged to follow Formula 2.1 and 2.2 to craft the '''S.S. Huntington''' map piece in order to ensure crafting success.

== S.S. Huntington III Mice ==
+
The hunter has several [[Trap Setup Options for Seasonal Garden Summer]].
All mice aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] are part of the [[Aquatic Order]], except the [[Crown Collector]] and [[Nibbler]] mice, which are part of the [[Indigenous Mice]] group.<br/>
 
[[Hydro]] weapons are the most effective weapons for capturing mice in this location, but all mice found here also have a weakness to [[Physical]] and [[Tactical]] weapons.
 
  
===Cheese Preference and Loot===
+
=== Fall ===
[[Standard Cheese]]s will attract all mice aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] except the [[Cook Mouse]]<br/>
+
'''Primary Weakness''': [[Shadow]]
{{SB}} is required to attract the [[Cook Mouse]] and improves the attraction rate of the [[Shelder Mouse]].<br/>
 
[[Galleon Gouda]] reduces the mouse population and provides the higest attraction rate of the [[Shelder Mouse]],

===Mice with Special Requirements===
+
The hunter has several [[Trap Setup Options for Seasonal Garden Fall]].
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[S.S. Huntington III]] on an irregular basis and is attracted to [[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}}. 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 aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] 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 aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] are primarily weak to [[Hydro]] weapons, though Hunters can use [[Physical]] and [[Tactical]] weapons to lesser effect.
 
  
[[Standard Cheese]] will attract all mice found aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]], except the [[Cook Mouse]]<br/>
+
=== Cheese Usage ===
The [[Cook Mouse]] is only attracted to {{SB}}<br/>
+
Standard cheese works in this area, but each time bait fails to attract a mouse, the [[Tower Amplifier]] is reduced by 3%, so many hunters prefer to use [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] due to the low attraction rate of [[Brie]] or [[Gouda]]. Hunters looking for [[Spring Familiar]] or [[Fall Familiar]] should equip [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] to increase the chance of encountering these two mice.
The [[Shelder Mouse]] is extremely rare regardless of bait used, but {{SB}} provides a greater attraction, and [[Galleon Gouda]] provides the best attraction. [[Galleon Gouda]] is found as a reward inside [[Shelder Treasure Chest]]s.
 
  
The [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] is required to travel to the [[Tribal Isles]] region. Hunters must find the [[Compass]], [[Sextant]], and [[Telescope]] while hunting aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]] in order to craft the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]].
+
Use of [[Amplifier Charm]]s, or the Limited Edition [[Chesla's Revenge]] weapon, increase the rate at which the tower amplifier is increased.
  
===[[Adventure Book]]===
+
===Adventure Book===
Hunters can [[Navigate the Rodentia Ocean]] by crafting the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]].
+
Hunters can complete steps to [[Capture the Mystic and Technic Kings]] by crafting [[Zugzwang's Tower Key]].
  
===[[Library Assignments]]===
+
=== Hunting Tips by Larry ===
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] -  This assignment may require collecting 1 [[Piece of M400 Intel]] from mice aboard [[S.S. Huntington III]] and/or capture the [[M400]].
+
Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!
*[[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]] - This assignment requires Hunters to collect 1 [[Mesh Netting]] from [[Leviathan]] or [[Squeaken]] mice aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]].
 
  
===[[Tournaments]]===
+
I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.
[[S.S. Huntington III]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].
 
  
===[[Treasure Map]]s===
+
If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.
Many mice in the [[S.S. Huntington III]] are often found on [[Relic Hunter Treasure Map]]s.<br/>
 
[[Tribal and Shelder Hunt Treasure Map]]s require capturing mice found aboard the [[S.S. Huntington III]], in the [[Jungle of Dread]], and in [[Dracano]]. '''This map requires catching a [[Shelder Mouse]].'''
 
  
===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
+
'''As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.'''
Welcome aboard, MouseHunter!
 
  
What a lovely job you did constructing this vessel. . . it’s a pity that it’s overrun with mice already.
+
When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.
  
If you want to clean up a bit, you should know that many of the mice here live in the open water. As such, you will find them especially weak to '''Hydro traps''', which you can buy from the Trapsmith onboard.
+
==== Banner Tips ====
 +
The Season and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!
  
If you're looking to sail far off into the ocean, you'll need to build yourself an '''Ocean Navigation Kit'''. I'm sure some of the mice here will have stolen the necessary components at some point or other...

Your Tower Amplifier boosts your trap's power inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.

This fine vessel has been granted permission by the King to sail the open ocean east of Gnawnia, and has been upgraded with hundreds of thousands of interlocking hull fragments, allowing it to breach even the dangerous Iceberg with ease.

Overview

Zugzwang's seasonal garden is the perfect destination for those who can't make up their mind about the weather. Every few days, the seasons shift, bringing with them a new crop of mice with different powers. Keep an eye out for the shards of an old key- they might provide the way into that mysterious locked tower.

Description and Requirements

Seasonal Garden is a location in the Rodentia region requiring a minimum rank of Lord or Lady and the Zugzwang's Scarf to enter.

The Seasonal Garden changes seasons every 80 hours. The current season is reflected on the travel map, allowing it to be monitored from outside the area. The Umbrella collectible is also affected by the current season.

Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.

Shops

These are the shops that can be found in the Seasonal Garden:

Seasonal Garden Mice

Most mice in the Seasonal Garden are in the Seasonal Soldiers group. They have a weakness to Tactical weapons, as well as another power type depending on their season. The average points and gold rewards for the mice increase from the lowest in spring to the highest in winter. On days when the Relic Hunter can be found in the garden, catching one will increase the Tower Amplifier by 1%. However, M400, Glitchpaw, Lucky and Prize mice do not affect the amplifier.

Hunting Strategy

Cheese Usage

Standard cheese works in this area, but each time bait fails to attract a mouse, the Tower Amplifier is reduced by 3%, so many hunters prefer to use SUPER|brie+ due to the low attraction rate of Brie or Gouda. Hunters looking for Spring Familiar or Fall Familiar should equip SUPER|brie+ to increase the chance of encountering these two mice.

Use of Amplifier Charms, or the Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge weapon, increase the rate at which the tower amplifier is increased.

Adventure Book

Hunters can complete steps to Capture the Mystic and Technic Kings by crafting Zugzwang's Tower Key.

Hunting Tips by Larry

Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!

I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.

If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.

As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.

When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.

The Season and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!

Your Tower Amplifier boosts your trap's power inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.
