<blockquote>The Spring Egg Hunt has begun! After a quick Eggscavator re-calibration, scour the Kingdom for a plethora of hidden eggs!<br/><br/>
MouseHunt is turning seven years old! WOW! The King is celebrating with cupcakes for everyone<br/><br/>
 
  
====Cupcake Extravaganza====
+
====Calibrating an Eggscavator====
  
The King has organized a birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, several mice with a sweet tooth are proving to be a usual nuisance by stealing cupcakes. The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders. Just make sure to dust a bit of the rodent fur off before shipping them for consumption...<br>
+
Eggs have been hidden across the entire Kingdom, however, in order to locate them you'll need a properly calibrated Eggscavator! Calibration can be done by visiting the Chocolate Factory and finding 10 special eggs, including the Golden Egg.
Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are seven different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting. While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!
 
  
====Collecting Cupcake Colby====
+
The Golden Egg is being carefully guarded by a new mouse menace — the Chocolate Gold Foil Mouse. This gold-glittered mouse will only show its face once the other nine special eggs at the factory have been collected. You can track down these eggs by collecting Marshmallow Monterey as loot at the Chocolate Factory then using it to lure Egg Painter mice out of hiding. After capturing nine Egg Painter mice, the Chocolate Gold Foil Mouse can be attracted and with its capture the Golden Egg found!
  
In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need similarly-themed bait: Cupcake Colby. This sweet cheese is produced by Cupcake Colby Potions that can be collected as loot at the birthday party zone. Once you've stock piled some Cupcake Colby, arm it to lure cupcake-dropping mice out of hiding!<br/><br/>
+
Looking for a more challenging hunt while at the factory? More spooky breeds have taken shelter there, including fearsome lich mice! Purchase Dark Chocolate Charms from the Charm Shoppe at the Chocolate Factory and arm them to attract these fearsome breeds. The powerful scent of SUPER|brie+ when armed alongside a Dark Chocolate Charm will also bring around the most powerful liches of all -- the lich mice of the Tribal Isles! With great risk comes great reward: Though tough to catch, these undead guardians hold more Marshmallow Monterey than any other mouse at the factory.
  
====Types of Cupcakes====
 
  
There are five types of cupcakes that can be found as loot while hunting with Cupcake Colby. Cupcakes may also occasionally show up as the Gift of the Day to send to friends for free!<br/><br/>
 
Red, Yellow, and Blue Cupcakes are the most commonly found type of cupcakes. They're used in every variety of order. If you find yourself with a few too many of a specific colour, visit the General Store where you can exchange 12 of a single colour for 6 differently-coloured cupcakes.<br/><br/>
 
Green and Rainbow are harder to find than the other three cupcakes. More difficult orders will require more Green, and orders from year six and seven always require one or two Rainbow cupcakes. You'll also find these cupcakes in Daily Loyalty Chests!
 
  
====Types of Cupcake Orders====
+
====Hunting for Bonus Eggs====
  
There are seven different types of orders you can fulfill, one for each year of MouseHunting! Later year orders require more cupcakes, but they come with greater rewards!<br/><br/>
+
With your Eggscavator properly calibrated, you can now find dozens of eggs hidden nearly everywhere in the Kingdom! Track which eggs you've found and which you have yet to collect by pressing the "ping" button on your Eggscavator in your inventory or in the HUD. You'll also find a few hints and tips for where to find each egg and what mouse or mice may be carrying it!
While you're actively working on an order, a few mice that were released during that year can be encountered. Although these mice may vary in power type weaknesses, their insatiable love of sugar has them on an out-of-control sugar rush. Mice you encounter at the birthday party zone will have weaknesses to ALL power types, although, their typical weaknesses are still likely to be their greatest. These mice drop cupcakes the most often so be sure to always have an order on the go!<br/><br/>

Spring Egg Hunt

31 March 2015

The Spring Egg Hunt has begun! After a quick Eggscavator re-calibration, scour the Kingdom for a plethora of hidden eggs!

Calibrating an Eggscavator

Eggs have been hidden across the entire Kingdom, however, in order to locate them you'll need a properly calibrated Eggscavator! Calibration can be done by visiting the Chocolate Factory and finding 10 special eggs, including the Golden Egg.

The Golden Egg is being carefully guarded by a new mouse menace — the Chocolate Gold Foil Mouse. This gold-glittered mouse will only show its face once the other nine special eggs at the factory have been collected. You can track down these eggs by collecting Marshmallow Monterey as loot at the Chocolate Factory then using it to lure Egg Painter mice out of hiding. After capturing nine Egg Painter mice, the Chocolate Gold Foil Mouse can be attracted and with its capture the Golden Egg found!

Looking for a more challenging hunt while at the factory? More spooky breeds have taken shelter there, including fearsome lich mice! Purchase Dark Chocolate Charms from the Charm Shoppe at the Chocolate Factory and arm them to attract these fearsome breeds. The powerful scent of SUPER|brie+ when armed alongside a Dark Chocolate Charm will also bring around the most powerful liches of all -- the lich mice of the Tribal Isles! With great risk comes great reward: Though tough to catch, these undead guardians hold more Marshmallow Monterey than any other mouse at the factory.


Hunting for Bonus Eggs

With your Eggscavator properly calibrated, you can now find dozens of eggs hidden nearly everywhere in the Kingdom! Track which eggs you've found and which you have yet to collect by pressing the "ping" button on your Eggscavator in your inventory or in the HUD. You'll also find a few hints and tips for where to find each egg and what mouse or mice may be carrying it!

The Charm Shoppe at the Chocolate Factory carries a variety of charms!

Eggscavator Charge Charm
Capturing a mouse with this charm armed will add a charge to your Eggscavator. You'll lose a charge each hunt taken without a charge charm armed. Depending on the charge level of your Eggscavator, you'll find Low, Medium, and High Charge Eggs. These eggs contain Spring Hunt loot!

Eggstra Charm
The Eggstra Charm will double the quantity of any eggs found while hunting! The charm is only consumed when you find an egg.

Eggstra Charge Charm
Combines the abilities of the Eggscavator Charge Charm and the Eggstra Charm both charging your Eggscavator and doubling the quantity of any eggs found. This charm is consumed upon each successful capture of a mouse.
