[[Dracano]] is a location in the [[Tribal Isles]] region requiring the minimum rank of [[Knight]] and the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] to enter.<br/>
+
[[Balack's Cove]] is a location in the [[Tribal Isles]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Knight]] and [[Balack's Lantern]] to enter.<br/>
−
Mice in this location may steal points, or gold (but not multiple pieces of cheese) if not captured.
+
[[Balack's Lantern]] must be crafted with an [[Antique Lantern]] purchased in [[Cape Clawed General Store|Cape Clawed]] and 3 [[Dragon Ember]]s found as loot in [[Dracano]].<br/>
 +
Mice in this location may steal points or gold (but not multiple pieces of cheese) if not captured.
 +
 
 +
[[Balack's Cove]] operates on an '''18 hour and 40 minute Tide Cycle'''.  During '''Low Tide''', Hunters can hunt without fear of encountering the [[Riptide Mouse]]. During '''Medium Tide''', the [[Riptide Mouse]] begins to appear.  During '''High Tide''', Hunters will only encounter the [[Riptide Mouse]] as no other mice are present. Capturing a [[Riptide Mouse]] will cause the Hunter to be '''washed out''' of [[Balack's Cove]] and be deposited in the [[Jungle of Dread]]. Hunters can equip any of the [[Balack's Cove Charms|Anchor Charms]] to prevent being '''washed out''' when capturing a [[Riptide Mouse]].
 +
 
 +
[[Balack's Cove]] mice are weak to [[Forgotten]], [[Arcane]], and [[Shadow]] weapons.  However, [[Forgotten]] weapons are required to capture [[Balack the Banished]] and are much more effective at capturing the three '''Lich''' mice.
 +
 
 +
Hunters must hunt with either [[Vanilla Stilton Cheese]] or [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese]] to attract the mice found in [[Balack's Cove]].  [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese]] is required to attract [[Balack the Banished]] and will increase the attraction rate on the three '''Lich''' mice.
  
−
Hunters must use [[Inferno Havarti Cheese]] in [[Dracano]]. The ingredients necessary to craft [[Inferno Havarti Cheese]] are found in [[Derr Dunes]], [[Elub Shore]], [[Nerg Plains]], and the [[Jungle of Dread]].
+
===Tide Cycle===
 +
A complete '''Tide Cycle''' lasts '''18 hours and 40 minutes.'''
 +
*The '''rising Low Tide''' lasts '''8 hours'''.
 +
*The '''rising Medium Tide''' lasts '''1 hour'''.
 +
*The '''rising High Tide''' lasts '''20 minutes'''.
 +
*The '''ebbing High Tide''' lasts '''20 minutes'''.
 +
*The '''ebbing Medium Tide''' lasts '''1 hour'''.
 +
*The '''ebbing Low Tide''' lasts '''8 hours'''.
 +
*The cycle then begins again with a rising '''Low Tide'''.
  
−
A [[Draconic]] weapon is required to capture the [[Dragon Mouse]] and is very strongly recommended for catching the [[Draconic Warden]] and [[Whelpling]] mice.
+
===Heads-Up Display===
 +
The HUD in [[Balack's Cove]] tracks the current '''Tide''' level and whether it is rising or ebbing. It also tracks a Hunter's inventory of the [[Pinch of Annoyance]], [[Raisins of Wrath]], and [[Bottled-Up Rage]]. These three items are necessary for crafting [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese]].

You're going in ''there?'' Are you insane? Well, I've never managed to stop you before. Let me know if you come back alive, and if you don't. . . well, I guess I'll just have to figure that one out on my own.
+
I'm jolly glad to be out of Dracano, fearless MouseHunter, but this place isn't much better... I can hear whispering all around, and I don't think it's the sound of the waves.
 +
 
 +
This is the cursed resting place of Balack the Banished, and his legion of lich slaves. Shadow and Arcane traps work here, but Forgotten traps garner the best results, especially in conflict with Balack. The evil lord's followers respond only to the smell of rare vanilla bean, so keep plenty of Vanilla Stilton on hand. If you're after Balack and his Elder Liches, however, you'll need something with a little more bite-- Vengeful Vanilla Stilton, a nasty cheese made from the rage of Balack's eternal slaves.
 +
 
 +
If a legion of undead mice isn't enough to spook you, there's also the tides. The mysterious Riptide Mouse pulls the tides in and out several times a day, so unlucky Hunters caught in the waves will get washed out onto the shores of the Jungle of Dread!
 +
 
 +
The tides have three states; Low, medium and high. Low tide lasts the longest and there are no Riptide mice present. Riptide mice are abundant during medium tide, and extremely abundant during high tide. Should you catch a Riptide mouse, you will be washed out into the Jungle of Dread!
 +
 
 +
This will be a difficult fight, even for an experienced MouseHunter, but I believe in you! Get in there and lift that curse!

Revision as of 19:23, 1 February 2016

Hunters are NOT prevented from travelling freely to and from Balack's Cove by the Tide level, but hunting while the Riptide Mouse is present may result in Hunters being involuntarily moved to the Jungle of Dread..

This foreboding sea cave has fierce, unpredictable tides that can easily wash unsuspecting Hunters out to sea. Those who seek the spirits of this darkened grotto should arm a Shadow, Arcane or Forgotten trap, and use Vanilla Stilton as bait.

Overview

Balack's Cove is a location in the Tribal Isles region requiring a minimum rank of Knight and Balack's Lantern to enter.
Balack's Lantern must be crafted with an Antique Lantern purchased in Cape Clawed and 3 Dragon Embers found as loot in Dracano.
Mice in this location may steal points or gold (but not multiple pieces of cheese) if not captured.

Balack's Cove operates on an 18 hour and 40 minute Tide Cycle. During Low Tide, Hunters can hunt without fear of encountering the Riptide Mouse. During Medium Tide, the Riptide Mouse begins to appear. During High Tide, Hunters will only encounter the Riptide Mouse as no other mice are present. Capturing a Riptide Mouse will cause the Hunter to be washed out of Balack's Cove and be deposited in the Jungle of Dread. Hunters can equip any of the Anchor Charms to prevent being washed out when capturing a Riptide Mouse.

Balack's Cove mice are weak to Forgotten, Arcane, and Shadow weapons. However, Forgotten weapons are required to capture Balack the Banished and are much more effective at capturing the three Lich mice.

Hunters must hunt with either Vanilla Stilton Cheese or Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese to attract the mice found in Balack's Cove. Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese is required to attract Balack the Banished and will increase the attraction rate on the three Lich mice.

Tide Cycle

A complete Tide Cycle lasts 18 hours and 40 minutes.

  • The rising Low Tide lasts 8 hours.
  • The rising Medium Tide lasts 1 hour.
  • The rising High Tide lasts 20 minutes.
  • The ebbing High Tide lasts 20 minutes.
  • The ebbing Medium Tide lasts 1 hour.
  • The ebbing Low Tide lasts 8 hours.
  • The cycle then begins again with a rising Low Tide.

Heads-Up Display

The HUD in Balack's Cove tracks the current Tide level and whether it is rising or ebbing. It also tracks a Hunter's inventory of the Pinch of Annoyance, Raisins of Wrath, and Bottled-Up Rage. These three items are necessary for crafting Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese.

Balack's Lantern

Balack's Lantern grants hunters access to Balack's Cove. It can be crafted using the following formula:

Formula: Balack's Lantern
Item Qty Cost (Each) Source
Antique Lantern 1 94,000
Dragon Ember 3 N/A
Total 94,000

Balack's Cove Mice

The mice found in Balack's Cove are part of the Balack's Banished group and are weak to Forgotten, Arcane, and Shadow weapons. The use of other Power Types should be avoided in this location.
A Forgotten weapon is required to capture Balack the Banished and is more effective than Arcane and Shadow weapons at capturing the other mice found in Balack's Cove.

Hunters will need to hunt with Vanilla Stilton Cheese in order to attract the three Lich mice which drop the ingredients necessary for crafting Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese.
Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese is required to attract Balack the Banished and improves the attraction rate of the 3 Lich mice.

Riptide Mouse

Capturing a Riptide Mouse will cause Hunters to be washed out of Balack's Cove and into the Jungle of Dread.

Cheese Preference and Loot

Vanilla Stilton Cheese will attract all mice in Balack's Cove, except Balack the Banished
Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese is required to attract Balack the Banished and improves the attraction rate of the 3 Lich mice.

Hunting tips by Larry

I'm jolly glad to be out of Dracano, fearless MouseHunter, but this place isn't much better... I can hear whispering all around, and I don't think it's the sound of the waves.

This is the cursed resting place of Balack the Banished, and his legion of lich slaves. Shadow and Arcane traps work here, but Forgotten traps garner the best results, especially in conflict with Balack. The evil lord's followers respond only to the smell of rare vanilla bean, so keep plenty of Vanilla Stilton on hand. If you're after Balack and his Elder Liches, however, you'll need something with a little more bite-- Vengeful Vanilla Stilton, a nasty cheese made from the rage of Balack's eternal slaves.

If a legion of undead mice isn't enough to spook you, there's also the tides. The mysterious Riptide Mouse pulls the tides in and out several times a day, so unlucky Hunters caught in the waves will get washed out onto the shores of the Jungle of Dread!

The tides have three states; Low, medium and high. Low tide lasts the longest and there are no Riptide mice present. Riptide mice are abundant during medium tide, and extremely abundant during high tide. Should you catch a Riptide mouse, you will be washed out into the Jungle of Dread!

This will be a difficult fight, even for an experienced MouseHunter, but I believe in you! Get in there and lift that curse!
