Chocolate Factory 2011-2013

Spring is here again, and the King has ordered the chocolate factory back to full production. Not even the dastardly Hare Razor can foul things up this year!

And yet something's not quite right... No matter how many eggs are produced, none can be found! To complicate matters, a frightening new mouse has been seen prowling around with a confusing contraption. It's time for Hunters to investigate!

Description and Requirements

The Chocolate Factory is a special location first available during the Spring Egg Hunt 2011. It requires a minimum rank of Recruit to enter. Mice are unable to steal gold or points in this location but may steal cheese if not caught.

In 2011, to enter this location hunters had to find 10 different eggs scattered throughout the Kingdom. The location had the following description:

To celebrate the arrival of spring, the King has constructed a new chocolate factory south of the castle to produce thousands of scrumptious chocolate eggs for hunters to munch upon! It was not long, however, until a villainous mouse known as Hare Razor picked up the milk-chocolatey scent and took over the factory to carry out his own devious plan.

Shops

These are the shops that can be found in the Chocolate Factory:

• Cheese Shoppe
• Charm Shoppe

Hunting Strategy

Any standard cheese can be used in this location whether charms are used or not. Using Dark Chocolate Charms will attract the more valuable mice which generally have a weakness to Arcane and Shadow weapons. Otherwise the less valuable mice that can be caught with Physical and other weapon types are attracted.

The Hare Razer can only be attracted by baiting Marshmallow Monterey cheese. Additionally, Dark Chocolate Charms significantly increase the encounter rate of Hare Razer and the other three event mice. Thus in order to take advantage of the increased encounter rate hunters without an Arcane weapon may still choose to use Dark Chocolate Charms when hunting with Marshmallow Monterey and equip their strongest or luckiest weapon.

2012 Hunting tips by Larry

The Chocolate Factory is open again, and this time the eggs being produced are at the request of the King! The unfortunate part is that nobody can find anything that rolls off the conveyor belt...

Maybe... I know! Find paint from the mice in the factory and make your own eggs. Perhaps if you create a valuable enough egg, you'll be able to attract the source of the problem and defeat him.

Once you do, you may uncover the secret behind where the eggs have gone and how to track them down!

2011 Hunting tips by Larry

Don't let the tasty look of the walls fool you, evil is afoot at this chocolate factory!

Some sinister mice have taken over the factory and have been producing chocolate eggs to smuggle hunting supplies away from Gnawnia. The eggs are coated with a candy so hard it's near unbreakable!

Keep hunting, I'm sure the secret of how to crack open your eggs will be here somewhere...
