Lunar Lantern and Candles

Hunters must capture the Costumed Rat Mouse to acquire the Rat Lunar Lantern. The Rat Lunar Lantern is powered by either Lunar Lantern Candles which are dropped by hunting with Dumpling Cheese in any of the 12 stockpile locations or Red Lunar Lantern Candles which are dropped from the Lunar Red Candle Maker Mouse by hunting with Nian Gao'da Cheese in any of the 12 stockpile locations.

Luck Boost

Activating the Rat Lunar Lantern will consume 1 candle with each hunt. Every 10 candles burned will add +1 luck to the Luck Boost effect of the lantern while it is active. The maximum possible luck boost is +50.

This luck boost will be effective throughout the Kingdom, but only while the Rat Lunar Lantern is active.

Loot Doubling and Tripling

Activating the Rat Lunar Lantern will provide a loot doubling effect throughout the Kingdom.

Almost any item that appears as loot in the journal entry for the captured mouse will be doubled. Any items that show up in a separate journal entry will not be doubled.

The following items will not be doubled:

Dumpling Cheese
Nian Gao'da Cheese
Red Lunar Lantern Candles
Lunar Lantern Candles
Map Pieces
Treasure Map Clues
A mouse's gold or points
Items added by bases, charms or auras (unless the items appear in the mouse's journal entry)
Certain items with quantity restrictions
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."
