The Year of the Fiery Monkey has begun!
2 February 2016
Carl's Cozy Cruise has returned once more for the Year of the Fiery Monkey with a brand new destination — The Hollow Heights!
Sailing Through the Kingdom
The Cruise starts at the Harbour and then sails around Rodentia where hunters can take in sights from around the Kingdom. Carl's Cruise will sail past the Harbour, Gnawnian Shoreline, Digby and Lab, Iceberg, Acolyte Realm, Huntington, Tribal Isles, Zugzwang's Island, Sunken City, Hollow Heights, and Daredevil Canyon. As usual, the cruise ship has been invaded by Lunar New Year mice! Carl needs you to hunt down the pests aboard and will reward you with some Cruise Bux for helping out!
While hunting aboard the ship you'll find Firecracker Charms as loot. Hunting while having a Firecracker Charm armed will boost the ship's speed. The sound of firecrackers will also lure some costumed mice out of hiding that drop Nitropop Potions. Use Nitropop Potions to create Nitropop Charms which will speed the ship up even further and lure out a costumed mouse that drops the mighty Monkey Fling Potion! This final potion creates Monkey Fling Charms that will have the ship moving at top speed and also lure out the "guest of honour": The Costumed Monkey Mouse!
Complete a trip around the Kingdom and you'll be rewarded with a pair of the finest Captain's Trousers! These impressive pants will give you the air of naval authority needed to purchase various goodies from the shoppes on the ship! These shoppes only accept Cruise Bux, which are earned by passing through the destinations on the cruise, as well as by capturing mice aboard the ship.
Spending Cruise Bux
Once you complete a round trip aboard Carl's Cruise and acquire your Captain's Trousers, the shoppes will open their doors allowing you to spend Cruise Bux. There are a variety of hunting supplies available including the new Monkey Jade Base!
Available from the General Store are a variety of collectible miniatures that make the perfect keepsake to remember each place the cruise visited on your trip. A new miniature has been added to the existing collection. A fetching Hollow Heights Miniature is available to commemorate the latest stop on the cruise and can be found while cruising in the area or simply purchased here if missed while on the ship.
The General Store aboard Carl's Cruise also has some new arrivals: Lantern Fuel, Shuffler's Cubes, and Compass Magnets! Only hunters who have obtained a Labyrinth Key are able to purchase these items, but there are countless other rewards for hunters of all rank and location! Make sure to browse the shoppes and see what piques your interest.
