Claim the Tiger Lantern, collect and light Lunar Lantern Candles, and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!
How to Celebrate
Stockpile LocationsTravel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately.
Town of Gnawnia Laboratory Great Gnarled Tree Dojo S.S. Huntington IV Claw Shot City Muridae Market Gnawnia Rift Fungal Cavern Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad Claim the Tiger Lunar Lantern!Upon arrival at a stockpile location you can claim the Tiger Lunar Lantern immediately via the event Heads-Up Display!
Gather Dumpling CheeseAt stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by just hunting the regular mice in the area with standard cheese.
Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event MiceGone are the days where you needed to catch these critters in a specific order! Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with the premium Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles.
Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!Now it's time for the fun part! With the Tiger Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping their rewards!
When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! And if you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles then you'll find TRIPLE loot!
The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!
Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!
Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck and the rewards keep getting better the higher you ascend! Be sure to check out the Heads-Up Display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track!
Lunar New Year Items
The various shops at stockpile locations now stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased with Lunar Candles! Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts and trap skins!
The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to cartographers at stockpile locations. Use it to speed up your candle collecting!
Valentine's Matchmaker
Love is in the air! From February 10 to 15 you will occasionally encounter some lovestruck mice during your hunts. These special Valentine's mice will occasionally appear as a bonus hunt after a successful catch and will not consume any cheese or charms! They do however drop some lovely Valentine's loot!
