About Me

My Hunter Profile

What I Am Up To

  • Just finished Trap Setup Options for all levels. No plans to do Ronza area as I don't think people really hunt there and just go there to buy limited edition stuff.
  • Guidelines for Trap Setup options
    • Should be level appropriate - do not include traps or bases that are not available to the hunter
    • This means excluding limited edition bases like the polar base and weapons like the PartyBot.
    • The Trap Setups pages are not a value judgement on if setups are worth it. Few recommend buying the DDB or BG - even though they can work well at certain locations.
    • Rankings are determined by the MouseHunt Catch Rate Estimates based on minimum level to access the location, and an inactive gold shield.
  • I am also starting a Commonly Asked Question page that may one day replace the FAQ page.

Trap Setup Options

Areas that need work

  • Would like to have a better understanding of how loot drops work. What is the drop percentage of various loot by location and what is the impact of luck.

Commonly Asked Questions

Members of the MouseHunt community ask the same questions over and over as people go through the different stages of the game. While the developers are updating the game with new traps and locations that impact game play and balance, the purpose of this page is to share the collective wisdom of what has been learned.

As a Novice I wonder

As a Apprentice I wonder

As a Journeyman I wonder

  • Should I hunt in the Mountain or the Calm Clearing
    • You will earn more gold in the Calm Clearing
    • The Mountain will open up more areas of the game
  • Is the Mountain or the Calm Clearing better for collecting Splintered Wood?
    • More research is needed - recommendation is to use Brie Cheese to increase you attraction of the mice that drop wood. Note: It would make sense from a game balance perspectice if the Mountain was the better location for wood.
  • Should I risk crafting the Dehy base?
    • No wait until you are a Master as collecting the Splintered Wood is so hard.

As a Master I wonder

  • Should I hunt in the Laboratory or the Great Gnarled Tree?
  • Where is the beter place to earn gold - the Town of Digby or the Mousoleum?
    • The lower cost of Swiss cheese that works well at earning gold in the Town of Digby compared to the cost of Radioactive Blue cheese makes the Town of Digby the better choice.
  • Is the Venus Mouse Trap worth it?
    • No - return back to the GGT after you have a ZLM or Ambush trap.
  • Should I get the map to the next area from the Lycan or the Mole?
    • You are more likely to catch the Mole Mouse in the Town of Digby using the FF trap that the Lycan mouse in the Mouseleum with the Sinister Portal. If the loot drop rates are similar you are better off going after the Mole mouse.

As a Grandmaster I wonder

  • Where is the best place for points?
    • Have heard Training groups for points (need to confirm)
  • Where is the best place for gold?
    • Have heard Mousoleum for gold (need to confirm)
  • Is it worth it to risk crafting the ambush trap
    • The blueprints are a common drop - go for it

As a Legendary I wonder

  • Is Ancient cheese worth it in the Catecombs
    • The extra expense of Ancient cheese is not worth it. Stick with Radioactive Blue.

As a Hero I wonder

As a Knight I wonder

As a Lord/Lady I wonder

At any level I wonder

  • How am I doing compared to everybody else or compared to my friends.

I wonder how to catch particular mice
