Happy Lunar New Year!
6 February 2018
Celebrate with double and TRIPLE loot!
Dog Lunar Lantern
Costumed Dog mice, along with other Lunar New Year mice, have appeared in 10 different hunting locations throughout the Kingdom! Find out where these event mice are by viewing the Lunar Banner above your Hunter's Journal on the Camp page and travel to capture them.
In each of the 10 Lunar New Year locations, you can collect special cheese to then lure the various costumed mice to your trap. The various costumed mice from previous years will come out of hiding in a specific order with the Costumed Dog Mouse being last. Capturing the Costumed Dog Mouse will reward the Dog Lunar Lantern, which can be used to double or even triple loot ANYWHERE in the Kingdom!
Double and Triple Loot
Once you've obtained the Dog Lunar Lantern, you can use it to boost loot drops ANYWHERE by igniting it which burns one candle per hunt. There are two types candles to choose from which determine whether you'll receive double or triple loot: Lunar Lantern Candles and Red Lunar Lantern Candles.
Each candle you burn will also raise your Dog Lunar Lantern upwards into the sky. As you reach certain height milestones, you'll find special rewards including a new event cheese and trap skin. Raising your lantern will also unlock luck bonuses while your lantern is lit, up to an amazing +50 Luck for raising your lantern to 500 feet!
