Hunting Strategy
Traveling to the Town of Gnawnia is free from any location using Larry's Travel. It is generally considered a good idea to purchase cheese in bulk at the local Cheese Shoppe because it is cheaper than at all other locations. The hunter has several Trap Setup Options for the Town of Gnawnia. Some hunters might choose to hunt here rather than the Meadow for the chance of meeting some rarer mice such as the Burglar, Nibbler, or Zombie. Hunters can also consider hunting for the Dwarf Mouse that carries Plankrun's Journal Entries on Gnawnia.
Some hunters have also been known return from the Harbour and Mountain, looking for some respite from the thieving mice and dreaded 'red boxes'. Almost any trap will be effective here as most of the mice are Indigenous Mice and quite weak.
Cheese Usage
All standard cheese types can be used in this location. It is recommended that Novices start out with either Cheddar or Marble, and stay away from Swiss or Brie due to the low power of their traps, and using either of the cheese will very likely result in a net gold loss.
More experienced hunters might consider White Cheddar so as to keep the colored mice away from their traps. Hunters who prefer a better attraction rate can use either Marble, Swiss, or Brie. However, Brie is not recommended due to the fact that the colored mice run rampant in the town, thus lowering overall profits as catching a colored mouse with Brie results in a net gold loss.
Hunters can also consider using SUPER|brie+ in order to attract the Nibbler and Black Widow mice. Patience is needed however, as they are seldom encountered even with the magical SUPER|brie+.
Hunting tips by Larry
Welcome to the Town of Gnawnia, home of His Majesty, the King!
Gnawnia has two shops. The first is the Cheese Shoppe where you can buy bait for your trap, and the second is the Trapsmith, where you can buy new trap parts.
If you are just starting out, be careful to budget the gold you spend on cheese based on what you are earning from catching mice. Using expensive cheese, like Brie, to catch small mice carrying less gold is not a good strategy! Remember: the type of cheese you use only affects how often you attract a mouse, not the odds of catching that mouse.
When you reach the title of Apprentice, you may want to try hunting in the Harbour. Visit the Travel page to access your map and travel to other hunting grounds.
Looking for more advice? Speak with your fellow hunters on the discussion boards. There are sure to be many experienced hunters willing to lend a hand!
Good luck, brave MouseHunter!
