Lunar New Year 2023

Lunar New Year 2023
Number of Event Mice:	16
Starting Date:	17 January 2023
Ending Date:	31 January 2023

Overview

During the Lunar New Year 2023 event, Hunters should head to designated stockpile locations throughout the Kingdom first to claim a Rabbit Lunar Lantern from the HUD.

Then, Hunters can hunt normally in the same stockpile locations to obtain Dumpling Cheese as loot from regular mice. Dumpling Cheese (or Nian Gao'da Cheese) can then be armed to attract Lunar New Year Mice that drop Lunar Lantern Candles (or Red Lunar Lantern Candles if Nian Gao'da Cheese is armed).

Finally, Hunters can light Lunar Lantern Candles and Red Lunar Lantern Candles throughout the Kingdom to obtain various bonuses and gain extra rewards depending on the number of candles lit.

HUD

Hunters can track their progress within the event through the Heads-Up Display.

It can be divided into several segments:

• Top Left:
  • An indicator that shows whether the Hunter is in a stockpile location:
    • If the Hunter is in one, the display reads Lunar Stockpile Found
    • If the Hunter is not in one, the display reads No Lunar Stockpile
    • Regardless, hovering the mouse over the display reveals a text bubble:

    Gather Dumpling Cheese at Lunar Stockpiles from regular mice. Use it to attract and defeat the Costumed Mice!

  • Dumpling Cheese - Quick arm/disarm
    • When armed in a non-stockpile location, the following warning appears in the centre display:

    No Lunar New Year mice here!

    You should select another bait or travel to a Stockpile Location.

    Click "More Info" in the top-right!

    • Hovering the mouse over the Dumpling Cheese reveals a text bubble:

    Dumpling Cheese attracts Lunar New Year and Costumed Mice at Stockpile Locations!

• Bottom Left:
  • Lunar Lantern Candles - Quick arm/disarm and buy
    • When Lunar Lantern Candles are armed, a sign labelled Double Drops lights up in colour (it is uncoloured when not armed)
    • Hovering the mouse over the Lunar Lantern Candles reveals a text bubble:

    When you have the Rabbit Lunar Lantern, you can use Lunar Lantern Candles to DOUBLE most loot drops!

• Centre:
  • A Claim Lantern button if the lantern has not been claimed
  • Snapshot of the display showing how far your lantern has lifted into the air after the lantern has been looted, including bonus items as follows:
    • +1 luck every 10 feet up to 500 feet.
    • 3 Nian Gao'da Cheese every 30 feet up to 480 feet.
    • Chrome Rabbit Paifang Trap Skin at 90 feet.
    • SUPER|brie+ Supply Pack at 180 feet
    • Year of the Rabbit Journal Theme at 240 feet.
    • 10 Ultimate Lucky Power Charms at 360 feet.
    • 10 Rift Ultimate Lucky Power Charms at 420 feet.
    • 50 SUPER|brie+, 3 Ultimate Charms, and 10 Red Lunar Lantern Candles at 500 feet.
  • Trackers at the bottom showing: how many candles has the Hunter lit, the height of the Rabbit Lunar Lantern and the current luck boost the Hunter has when lighting candles
    • Hovering the mouse over the trackers reveals a text bubble:

    Every hunt with a lit candle raises the Lantern one foot. For every ten feet you'll earn a +1 Luck Bonus while the lantern is lit! The higher you go, the better the goodies.

• Top Right:
  • Clicking More Info will open a window with the following:
    • An overview of the event:

    Hunt with Dumpling Cheese to attract Event Mice at stockpile locations to earn candles for the Rabbit Lantern!

    As you burn Lunar Lantern Candles, your Rabbit Lantern will lift into the air and gain extra rewards!

    • An explanation of the loot doubling and tripling effects as well as restrictions:

    Double or even TRIPLE your loot!

    The Rabbit Lunar Lantern will boost the loot a captured mouse is carrying! However, there are a few things it can't quite figure out how to duplicate.

    It will not duplicate:

    Dumpling Cheese

    Nian Gao'da Cheese

    Red or White Lunar Lantern Candles

    Map Pieces

    Treasure Map Clues

    A mouse's gold or points

    Items generated by bases, charms, auras or other special effects

    Certain items with quantity restrictions

    Library Research Assignment Items

    Itself

    Hunters.

    Attempting to duplicate any of these items could break the laws of space-time itself! The King frowns upon that sort of thing.

    Additionally, the Lunar Lantern will not accelerate progress for Bristle Woods Rift Chambers or other areas where mouse loot affects progress.

    • Inventory of Dumpling Cheese, Lunar Lantern Candle, Nian Gao'da Cheese, Red Lunar Lantern Candle, Rabbit Lunar Lantern, and Rabbit Jade Base
